< 2 Corinthians 6 >

1 And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —
我等は[キリストの]助手として、汝等が神の恩寵を徒に受けざらん事を勧む、
2 for He saith, 'In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' —
蓋曰はく、「我宜き時に汝の願を聴き救の日に汝を助けたり」と。今こそは宜き時なれ、今こそは救の日なれ。
3 in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,
我等聖役を譏られざらん為に誰の意をも損はず、
4 but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,
却て萬事に於て己を神の役者として顕す。即ち大いなる堪忍を以て、患難にも、困窮にも、苦悩にも、
5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
負傷するも、監獄に在るも、騒亂にも、勞働にも、徹夜にも、断食にも。
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
貞潔と學識と、耐忍と温良と、聖霊[の好果]と僞なき愛と、
7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,
眞理の言と神の御力と、左右に持る義の武器とを以て、
8 through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;
又尊榮と耻辱、惡評と好評とを以て、人を惑はす者の如くにして而も眞實に、知られざるが如くにして而も人に知られ、
9 as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;
死するに似て而も活くる事斯の如く、懲さるるに似て而も殺されず、
10 as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
憂ふるが如くなるも常に喜び、乏しきが如くなるも多くの人を富ましめ、有する所なきが如くにして一切を有し、[以て神の役者として己を顕すなり]。
11 Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!
嗚呼コリント人よ、我等の口は汝等に開き、我等の心は広くなれり、
12 ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,
汝等が我等の中に狭めらるるには非ず、汝等の腸こそ狭きなれ。
13 and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it], ) be ye enlarged — also ye!
我わが子に謂ふが如くに語らん、我に等しく報いん為に汝等も開かれよ。
14 Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
汝等不信者と軛を同じうする事勿れ、蓋義と不義と何の與る所かあらん、光と闇と何の與する所かあらん、
15 and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
キリストとベリアルと何の約する所かあらん、信者と不信者と何の關る所かあらん、
16 and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — 'I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,
神殿と偶像と何の一致する所かあらん、神の曰へる如く、汝等は活ける神の[神]殿なり、曰く、「我彼等の中に住み、彼等の間に歩まんとす、而して我彼等の神となり、彼等我民となるべし」、
17 wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,
又、「主曰はく、然れば汝等彼等の中より出でて之を離れよ、不潔なるものに触る事勿れ、
18 and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'
斯て我汝等を承けて汝等の父となり、汝等わが子女とならん、と全能の神曰へり」と。
