< Philippians 4 >
1 My fellow believers, I love you, and I long for you. You make me happy [MTY], and I am (proud of/pleased with) you. Dear friends, on the basis [of all that I have told you], continue to believe firmly in the Lord doing what I have just taught you.
第五項 種々の勧告及び感謝 然れば我至愛にして、最懐しき兄弟等よ、我喜我冠なる至愛の者よ、主に於て斯の如く立て、
2 I urge [you(sg)], Euodia, and I urge [you(sg)], Syntyche, to again have a peaceful relationship with each other, [because you both have a relationship with] the Lord.
我エヴォヂアにも勧め、シンチケにも勧む、主に於て心を同じうせん事を。
3 And, my faithful comrade/partner, I request that you [(sg)] help them [to again have a peaceful relationship with each other], because they have [faithfully proclaimed] the message [about Christ] together with me, [even though many people] have opposed us [(exc)]. They have faithfully proclaimed that message together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book [in which God has written the names of all those people who will] live [forever].
軛を共にする忠實なる友よ、我汝にも、是等の婦を扶けん事を希ふ。彼等はクレメンスと、生命の書に名を記されたる他の我助力者と共に、我に伴ひて福音の為に働きしなり。
4 [Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
汝等常に主に於て喜べ。我は重て言ふ喜べ。
5 [Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
汝等の温良なる事、凡ての人に知れよかし、主は近く在すなり。
6 Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray [to God], tell him what you need, and ask him [to help you] [DOU]. Also thank [him for what he does for you].
何事をも思ひ煩ふ勿れ、唯萬事に就きて祈祷と懇願と感謝とによりて、汝等の願は、神に知られよかし、
7 As a result, God will enable you not to worry [about anything] [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds [in every way]) [PRS]. [That is], he will cause you to have [inner] peace [because you have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] [how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!]!
斯て一切の智識に優れる神の平安は、キリスト、イエズスに於て汝等の心と思とを守るべし。
8 My fellow believers, there is one more thing I [want you to do]. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is right, whatever is morally pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is admirable, whatever is good, whatever [deserves] praise, those are the things that you should continually think about.
其外兄弟等よ、総て眞なる事、総て尊ぶべき事、総て正しき事、総て潔き事、総て愛らしき事、総て好評ある事、如何なる徳も、規律の如何なる誉も、汝等之を慮れ。
9 Those things that I have taught you and that you have learned from me, those things that you have heard me [say] and that you have seen me [do], those are the things that you yourselves should continually do. As a result [of your doing those things], God, the one who [causes us to] have [inner] peace, will (be with/bless) you.
汝等我に就きて學びし事、受けし事、聞きし事、見し事は之を行へ、斯て平和の神汝等と共に在さん。
10 I rejoice greatly [and thank] the Lord because now, after some time, [by sending money to me] you have once again shown that you are concerned about me [EUP]. Indeed, you were concerned about me [all the time], but you had no opportunity [to show that you were concerned about me].
末文 汝等が我身上を思ふ心の、終に復芽したる事を、我主に於て甚喜べり。汝等は素より我を思ひ居たれど、機會を得ざりしなり。
11 I am saying this not because I [am concerned that I] lack things [that I need]. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever [situation] I am.
我は缺乏によりて之を言ふに非ず、其は有るが儘にて事足れりとするは、我が學びたる所なればなり。
12 [Specifically], I know how [to be content when] I do not have what I need, and I know how [to be content when] I have plenty. I have learned how [to be content] in any and every [situation] [DOU]. [Specifically], I have learned how [to be content when] I have enough to eat, and I have learned how [to be content when] I do not have enough to eat. I have learned how [to be content when] I have plenty [DOU] [of what I need], and I have learned [how to be content when] I lack [things].
我は卑しめらるる事を知り、又豊なる事をも、知れり。一々萬事につけて飽く事をも飢る事をも、豊なる事をも、缺乏を凌事をも修行せり。
13 I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
我を強め給ふ者に於て、一切の事我が為し得ざるはなし。
14 Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
然りながら汝等は、寔に善く我困難を扶けたり。
15 [My friends there at Philippi], you yourselves know that when I first [proclaimed] the message about Christ [to you], and then left there to go to Macedonia [province], you were the only group of believers [LIT] who [sent me] gifts [EUP] in order that I might [proclaim that message] to others just like I did for you.
フィリッピ人よ、汝等も知れり、我が福音を傳ふる初、マケドニアを出發せし時には、何れの教會も授受の風を以て我に交らず、汝等のみ之を為して、
16 Even [when I was] in Thessalonica [city], you sent [money] [EUP] to me two different times [IDM] in order to [supply] what I needed.
一度も二度もテサロニケに餽りて我用に供したりき。
17 I say this, not because I desire that you give me money now. Instead, I desire that [God] will abundantly bless [MET] you as a result of [your helping me].
我贈物を求むるには非ず、唯汝等の利益と成る好果の豊ならん事を求むるなり。
18 But I have received a very generous [gift] [EUP] [from you], and [as a result], I have plenty. I have an abundant supply [of what I need because] I have received from Epaphroditus the money [EUP] that you [sent to me]. God considers that your gift is very acceptable, and he is very pleased with it. [Your gift is like] a nice-smelling sacrifice [MET].
我には何事も備はりて餘あり、汝等が贈りし物の其香馨しく、神の御意に適ひて嘉納せらるる犠牲を、エパフロヂトより受けて飽足れり。
19 [Moreover], God, [whom] I [serve], has an unlimited supply [of everything that we(inc) need]. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
我神は己が富によりて、光榮の中に汝等の要する所を悉くキリスト、イエズスに於て満たし給ふべし。
20 [So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn )
願はくは我父にて在す神に世々光榮あらんことを、アメン。 (aiōn )
21 Greet [for me/us(exc)] all of God’s people [there, that is, all those who have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. The fellow believers who [serve God together] with me here send their greetings to you (OR, say they are thinking fondly of you).
キリスト、イエズスに在る聖徒の各に宜しく傳へよ。
22 All of God’s people [here] send their greetings to you. Especially the [fellow believers who work] in the palace of the emperor send their greetings to you.
我と共に在る兄弟等汝等に宜しくと言へり。凡ての聖徒殊にセザルの家に属する人々、汝等に宜しくと言へり。
23 My desire is [that our] Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all [SYN].
願はくは我主イエズス、キリストの恩寵、汝等の霊と共に在らん事を、アメン。
