テモテへの手紙第一 1
1 我らの救主なる神と我らの希望なるキリスト・イエスとの命によりて、キリスト・イエスの使徒となれるパウロ、
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the command of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our hope,
2 書を信仰に由りて我が眞實の子たるテモテに贈る。願はくは父なる神および我らの主キリスト・イエスより賜ふ恩惠と憐憫と平安と、汝に在らんことを。
to Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 我マケドニヤに往きしとき汝に勸めし如く、汝なほエペソに留まり、ある人々に命じて、異なる教を傳ふることなく、
As I besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,
4 昔話と窮りなき系圖とに心を寄する事なからしめよ。此 等のことは信仰に基ける神の經綸の助とならず、反つて議論を生ずるなり。
nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote God's dispensation which is in faith, [[so I do now.]]
5 命令の目的は清き心と善き良心と僞りなき信仰とより出づる愛にあり。
Now the end of the commandment is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned;
6 ある人々これらの事より外れて虚しき物語にうつり、
from which some swerving turned aside to vain babbling,
7 律法の教師たらんと欲して、反つて其の言ふ所その確證する所を自ら悟らず。
desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 律法は道理に循ひて之を用ひば善き者なるを我らは知る。
But we know that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully,
9 律法を用ふる者は、律法の正しき人の爲にあらずして、不法のもの、服從せぬもの、敬虔ならぬもの、罪あるもの、潔からぬもの、妄なるもの、父を撃つもの、母を撃つもの、人を殺す者、
knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,
10 淫行のもの、男色を行ふもの、人を誘拐すもの、僞るもの、いつはり誓ふ者の爲、そのほか健全なる教に逆ふ凡ての事のために設けられたるを知るべし。
for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the sound teaching,
11 これは我に委ね給ひし幸福なる神の榮光の福音に循へるなり。
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
12 我に能力を賜ふ我らの主キリスト・イエスに感謝す。
And I thank him who gave me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he accounted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, t
13 われ曩には涜す者、迫害する者、暴行の者なりしに、我を忠實なる者として、この職に任じ給ひたればなり。われ信ぜぬ時に知らずして行ひし故に憐憫を蒙れり。
though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a doer of outrage; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief;
14 而して我らの主の恩惠は、キリスト・イエスに由れる信仰および愛とともに溢るるばかり彌増せり。
and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 『キリスト・イエス罪人を救はん爲に世に來り給へり』とは、信ずべく正しく受くべき言なり、其の罪人の中にて我は首なり。
True is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his long-suffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Now to the King eternal, the imperishable, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 わが子テモテよ、汝を指したる凡ての預言に循ひて、我この命令を汝に委ぬ。これ汝がその預言により、信仰と善き良心とを保ちて、善き戰鬪を戰はん爲なり。
This charge I commit to thee, my child Timothy, in accordance with the directions of the prophets before given to thee, that thou mayst in them war the good warfare,
19 或 人よき良心を棄てて信仰の破船をなせり。
having faith, and a good conscience, which some thrusting away made shipwreck concerning the faith;
20 その中にヒメナオとアレキサンデルとあり、彼らに涜すまじきことを學ばせんとて、我これをサタンに付せり。
of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
