2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
是故に我等は、御慈悲を蒙りたるによりて聖役を有する者なれば、弱る事なく、
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty; not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but, by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
耻隠す所を棄て、狡猾に挙動ふ事を為ず、又神の御言を僞造せずして眞理を顕し、神の御前に凡ての人の良心に訴へて己を立つるなり。
3 But if our gospel is hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
若我等の福音にして尚覆を以て包まれたりとせば、其は亡ぶる人々に對して包まれたるなり。
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine to them. (aiōn g165)
即ち彼等に於て、世間の神不信者の心を暗まし、神の像に在せるキリストの光榮の福音の光を、彼等の上に輝かしめじとせるなり。 (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
蓋我等は己が事を宣べず、我主イエズス、キリストの事を宣べて、イエズス、キリストの為に己を汝等の僕となす。
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined into our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
蓋命じて光を闇より輝かしめ給ひし神は、キリスト、イエズスの御顔に在る神の光榮の知識を輝かしめん為に、自ら我等の心を照らし給へり。
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not from us.
第三項 使徒たる者の苦痛 然れども我等は此寳を土器の中に有てるなり、是力の偉大なる所は、我等に由らずして神に由るべき故なり。
8 [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;
我等萬事に患難を受くれども苦悩せず、窮迫極れども失望せず、
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
迫害を受くれども棄てられず、倒さるれども亡びず、
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body.
何時もイエズスの死を我身に帯ぶ、是イエズスの生命が亦我等の身に於て顕れん為なり。
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
即ち我等は活ける者なれども、常にイエズスの為死に付さる、是イエズスの生命が、亦死すべき我肉身に於て顕れん為なり。
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
然れば死は我等の中に働き、生命は汝等の中に働くなり。
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
然るに信仰の同じ霊を有すれば、録して、「我信じたるが故に語りしなり」とあるが如く、我等も亦信ずるが故に語る、
14 Knowing, that he who raised the Lord Jesus, will raise us also by Jesus, and will present [us] with you.
イエズスを復活せしめ給ひしものが、我等をもイエズスと共に復活せしめ、汝等と共に立たしめ給ふべしと知ればなり。
15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace may, through the thanksgiving of many, redound to the glory of God.
蓋萬事は汝等の為にして、是恩寵豊に、神の光榮として愈多くの人の感謝を豊ならしめん為なり。
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is wasted, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.
故に我等は沮喪せず、我等の外面の人は腐敗すれども、内面の人は却て日々に新なり。
