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 according to the commandment of God our Savior, 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 faith: Grace, mercy, and 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 urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different 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。
neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—
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。
but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;
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 things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
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, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly 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 one uses 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、
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,
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 the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to 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 Good News of the glory 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 enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
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。
although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, 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。
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly 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。
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever 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 instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;
19 或 人よき良心を棄てて信仰の破船をなせり。
holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a 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.
