Romans 1
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
イエズス、キリストの僕にして使徒と召され、神の福音の為に別たれたるパウロ、――
2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
此福音は、曩に神が、其預言者等を以て聖書の中に、御子我主イエズス、キリストに就きて約し給ひしものにして、
3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
此御子は肉體にてはダヴィドの裔より生り、
4 but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,
聖徳の霊にては、大能を以て、死者の中よりの復活によりて、神の御子と證せられ給へり。
5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,
我等は其御名の為に、萬民を信仰に服從せしめんとて、恩寵と使徒職とを蒙りたるなり、
6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
汝等も萬民の中よりイエズス、キリストに召されたる者なれば、――
7 To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
書簡を総てロマに在りて神に愛せられ聖徒と召されたる人々に贈る。願くは、我父にて在す神及主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と平安とを汝等に賜はらん事を。
8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.
汝等の信仰全世界に吹聴せらるるが故に、我先汝等一同の為にイエズス、キリストに由りて我神に感謝し奉る。
9 I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,
蓋我が祈祷の中に絶えず汝等を記念し、
10 always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.
常に如何にしてか神の思召により、何時しか安らかなる道を得て、終に汝等に至らんと希へるは、御子の福音に於て我が一心に事へ奉る神の、我為に證し給ふ所なり。
11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
蓋我が汝等を見ん事を望むは、聊か霊の恩寵を汝等に分與へて、汝等を堅固ならしめん為、
12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
即ち汝等の中に在りて、汝等と我との互の信仰を以て相勧むる事を得ん為なり。
13 And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.
兄弟等よ、我は我が他の異邦人に於る如く、汝等の中にも聊か好果を得ん為、數次汝等に至らんと志して、而も今まで阻げられたる事を、汝等の知らざるを好まず。
14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
我はギリシア人にも異國人にも、學者にも無學者にも負ふ所あり、
15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
然れば又汝等ロマに居る者にも福音を傳へんと欲する事切なり。
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
蓋我福音を恥と為ず、是総て信ずる者の為には、ユデア人を初めギリシア人にも救となるべき神の能力なればなり。
17 For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."
即ち神の[賜へる]義が信仰より信仰に至る事は福音の中に顕る、録して、「義人は信仰によりて活きん」とあるが如し。
18 For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:
第一款 人皆義とせらるるを要す 第一編 教理上の事。イエズス、キリストに於る信仰によりて義とせらるる事 第一項 義とせらるるの必要及び性質 夫の御怒は、眞理を不義に壓ふる人々の、凡ての不敬不義の上に顕る。
19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
蓋神に就きて知られたる事柄は彼等には顕然なり、其は神既に彼等に之を顕し給ひたればなり。
20 For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
即ち其見得べからざる所、其永遠の能力も神性も、世界創造以來造られたる物によりて覚られ、明かに見ゆるが故に、人々弁解する事を得ず。 (aïdios g126)
21 For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.
蓋既に神を知りたれど、神として之に光榮を歸せず、又感謝せず、却て理屈の中に空しくせられて、其愚なる心暗くなれり。
22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
即ち自ら智者と稱して愚者と成り、
23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
朽ちざる神の光榮に易ふるに、朽つべき人間、鳥、獣、蛇等に似たる像を以てせり。
24 For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.
是によりて神は彼等を其心の慾、即ち淫亂に打任せ給ひて、彼等は互に其身を辱しむ、
25 For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
神の眞實を虚僞に易へ、造物主を措きて被造物を拝み、之に事ふるに至りたればなり。造物主こそは世々に祝せられ給ふなれ、アメン。 (aiōn g165)
26 This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,
是によりて神は彼等を恥づべき情慾に打任せ給へり、蓋彼等の女は自然の用を易へて自然に戻れる用と為し、
27 in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.
男も亦同じく女の自然の用を棄てて互に私慾を燃やし、男と男と恥づべき事を為して其迷に値せる報を己が身に受けたり。
28 And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.
又神を認めたる事を證せざりしが故に、神亦彼等を其邪心に打任せ給ひて、彼等は不當なる事を為すに至れり。
29 Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.
即ち有ゆる不義、惡心、私通、貪吝、不正に満ち、嫉妬、殺人、争闘、詐欺、狡猾に富み、讒害する者、
30 They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,
誹謗する者、神を恨む者、侮辱する者、傲慢なる者、自負する者、惡事の發明者、父母に從はざる者、
31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
愚者、背徳者にして、愛情なく、忠實なく、慈悲なき人々たるなり。
32 In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
斯る事を行ふ人は死に値す、と云へる神の判定を知りたれども、之を行ふのみならず亦行ふ人々に賛同するなり。
