テモテへの手紙第二 1
1 神の御意により、キリスト・イエスにある生命の約束に循ひて、キリスト・イエスの使徒になれるパウロ、
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 書を我が愛する子テモテに贈る。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 beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 われ夜も晝も祈の中に絶えず汝を思ひて、わが先祖に效ひ清き良心をもて事ふる神に感謝す。
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, as without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day,
4 我なんぢの涙を憶え、わが歡喜の滿ちん爲に汝を見んことを欲す。
longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 是なんぢに在る虚僞なき信仰をおもひ出すに因りてなり。その信仰の曩に汝の祖母ロイス及び母ユニケに宿りしごとく、汝にも然るを確信す。
when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwelleth in thee also.
6 この故に、わが按手に因りて汝の内に得たる神の賜物をますます熾にせんことを勸む。
For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands;
7 そは神の我らに賜ひたるは、臆する靈にあらず、能力と愛と謹愼との靈なればなり。
for God gave us not the spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of admonition.
8 されば汝われらの主の證をなす事と、主の囚人たる我とを恥とすな、ただ神の能力に隨ひて福音のために我とともに苦難を忍べ。
Be not then ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship with me for the gospel through the power of God,
who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (aiōnios g166)
10 この恩惠は今われらの救主キリスト・イエスの現れ給ふに因りて顯れたり。彼は死をほろぼし、福音をもて生命と朽ちざる事とを明かにし給へり。
but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
11 我はこの福音のために立てられて宣傳者・使徒・教師となれり。
for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.
12 之がために我これらの苦難に遭ふ。されど之を恥とせず、我わが依頼む者を知り、且わが委ねたる者を、かの日に至るまで守り得給ふことを確信すればなり。
For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.
13 汝キリスト・イエスにある信仰と愛とをもて我より聽きし健全なる言の模範を保ち、
Hold the pattern of sound words, which thou heardest from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus;
14 かつ委ねられたる善きものを我等のうちに宿りたまふ聖 靈に頼りて守るべし。
the good trust committed to thee keep through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
15 アジヤに居る者みな我を棄てしは汝の知る所なり、その中にフゲロとヘルモゲネとあり。
Thou knowest this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 願はくは主オネシポロの家に憐憫を賜はんことを。彼はしばしば我を慰め、又わが鎖を恥とせず。
The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but on the contrary,
17 そのロマに居りし時には懇ろに尋ね來りて、遂に逢ひたり。
when he arrived at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18 願はくは主かの日にいたり主の憐憫を彼に賜はんことを、彼がエペソにて我に事へしことの如何ばかりなりしかは、汝の能く知るところなり。
The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and what services he rendered me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
