テモテへの手紙第一 6
1 おほよそ軛の下にありて奴隷たる者は、おのれの主人を全く尊ぶべき者とすべし。これ神の名と教との譏られざらん爲なり。
Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
2 信者たる主人を有てる者は、その兄弟なるに因りて之を輕んぜず、反つて彌 増々これに事ふべし。その益を受くる主人は信者にして愛せらるる者なればなり。汝これらの事を教へかつ勧めよ。
Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
3 もし異なる教を傳へて、健全なる言すなはち我らの主イエス・キリストの言と、敬虔にかなふ教とを肯はぬ者あらば、
If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 その人は傲慢にして何をも知らず、ただ議論と言爭とにのみ耽るなり、之によりて嫉妬・爭鬪・惡しき念おこり、
he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5 また心 腐りて眞理をはなれ、敬虔を利 益の道とおもふ者の爭論おこるなり。
constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
6 されど足ることを知りて敬虔を守る者は、大なる利 益を得るなり。
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 我らは何をも携へて世に來らず、また何をも携へて世を去ること能はざればなり。
For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
8 ただ衣食あらば足れりとせん。
But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 されど富まんと欲する者は、誘惑と羂、また人を滅亡と沈淪とに溺らす愚にして害ある各樣の慾に陷るなり。
But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10 それ金を愛するは諸般の惡しき事の根なり、ある人々これを慕ひて信仰より迷ひ、さまざまの痛をもて自ら己を刺しとほせり。
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 神の人よ、なんぢは此 等のことを避けて、義と敬虔と信仰と愛と忍耐と柔和とを追ひ求め、
But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 われ凡ての物を生かしたまふ神のまへ、及びポンテオ・ピラトに向ひて善き言明をなし給ひしキリスト・イエスの前にて汝に命ず。
I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
14 汝われらの主イエス・キリストの現れたまふ時まで汚點なく責むべき所なく、誡命を守れ。
that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
15 時いたらば幸福なる唯一の君主、もろもろの王の王、もろもろの主の主、これを顯し給はん。
which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 善をおこなひ、善き業に富み、惜みなく施し、分け與ふることを喜び、
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 かくて己のために善き基を蓄へ、未來の備をなして眞の生命を捉ふることを爲よと。
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.
20 テモテよ、なんぢ委ねられたる事を守り、妄なる虚しき物語、また僞りて知識と稱ふる反對論を避けよ。
Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
21 ある人々この知識を裝ひて信仰より外れたり。願はくは御惠なんじと偕に在らんことを。
which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
