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。
All who are under the yoke of slavery must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that no one will revile God's name or his doctrine.
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。
Slaves who have believing masters must not despise them, for they are brothers; rather they must serve them, because those who benefit from their good service are faithful and beloved. Teach and encourage 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 agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with 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 puffed up and understands nothing. Moreover, he has an unhealthy desire for controversies and quarrels about words, from which come envy, strife, slanderous words, 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。
and constant disagreement among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, supposing that godliness is a means of gain. Keep away from such people.
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, and it is clear that we cannot bring anything out either,
8 ただ衣食あらば足れりとせん。
but if we have 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 wish to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many senseless and harmful desires that sink 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 the root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to become rich some have wandered away from the faith, piercing themselves 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 as for yoʋ, O man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.
Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which yoʋ were called and concerning which yoʋ made the good confession in the presence 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 charge yoʋ before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in his testimony before Pontius Pilate,
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 yoʋ obey what has been commanded without fault or reproach 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 God will reveal in his own time. He is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty or to put their hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. (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、
Command them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and willing to share,
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。
treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, so that they may take hold of eternal 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。
O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to yoʋ and avoid the profane chatter and counterarguments of what is falsely called “knowledge.”
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。
By professing it, some have strayed from the faith. Grace be with yoʋ. Amen.
