ガラテヤ人への手紙 2
1 その後 十四年を歴て、バルナバと共にテトスをも連れて、復エルサレムに上れり。
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2 我が上りしは默示に因りてなり。かくて異邦人の中に宣ぶる福音を彼らに告げ、また名ある者どもに私に告げたり、これは我が走ること、又すでに走りしことの空しからざらん爲なり。
And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 而して我と偕なるギリシヤ人テトスすら割禮を強ひられざりき。
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 これ私に入りたる僞 兄弟あるに因りてなり。彼らの忍び入りたるは、我らがキリスト・イエスに在りて有てる自由を窺ひ、且われらを奴隷とせん爲なり。
And that because of false brothers unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5 然れど福音の眞理の汝らの中に留らんために、我ら一 時も彼らに讓り從はざりき。
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6 然るに、かの名ある者どもより――彼らは如何なる人なるにもせよ、我には關係なし、神は人の外面を取り給はず――實にかの名ある者どもは我に何をも加へず、
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it makes no matter to me: God accepts no man’s person: ) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7 反つてペテロが割禮ある者に對する福音を委ねられたる如く、我が割禮なき者に對する福音を委ねられたるを認め、
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as the gospel of the circumcision was to Peter;
8 （ペテロに能力を與へて割禮ある者の使徒となし給ひし者は、我にも異邦人のために能力を與へ給へり）
(For he that worked effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles: )
9 また我に賜はりたる恩惠をさとりて、柱と思はるるヤコブ、ケパ、ヨハネは、交誼の印として我とバルナバとに握手せり。これは我らが異邦人にゆき、彼らが割禮ある者に往かん爲なり。
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.
10 唯その願ふところは我らが貧しき者を顧みんことなり、我も固より此の事を勵みて行へり。
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11 されどケパがアンテオケに來りしとき、責むべき事のありしをもて面前これと諍ひたり。
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 その故はある人々のヤコブの許より來るまでは、かれ異邦人と共に食しゐたるに、かの人々の來りてよりは、割禮ある者どもを恐れ、退きて異邦人と別れたり。
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 他のユダヤ人も彼とともに僞行をなし、バルナバまでもその僞行に誘はれゆけり。
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 されど我かれらが福音の眞理に循ひて正しく歩まざるを見て、會衆の前にてケパに言ふ『なんぢユダヤ人なるにユダヤ人の如くせず、異邦人のごとく生活せば、何ぞ強ひて異邦人をユダヤ人の如くならしめんとするか』
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If you, being a Jew, live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compel you the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 我らは生來のユダヤ人にして、罪人なる異邦人にあらざれども、
We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 人の義とせらるるは律法の行爲に由らず、唯キリスト・イエスを信ずる信仰に由るを知りて、キリスト・イエスを信じたり。これ律法の行爲に由らず、キリストを信ずる信仰によりて義とせられん爲なり。律法の行爲によりては義とせらるる者 一人だになし。
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 若しキリストに在りて義とせららんことを求めて、なほ罪人と認められなば、キリストは罪の役者なるか、決して然らず。
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 我もし前に毀ちしものを再び建てなば、己みづから犯罪者たるを表す。
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 我は神に生きんために、律法によりて律法に死にたり。
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live to God.
20 我キリストと偕に十字架につけられたり。最早われ生くるにあらず、キリスト我が内に在りて生くるなり。今われ肉體に在りて生くるは、我を愛して我がために己が身を捨て給ひし神の子を信ずるに由りて生くるなり。
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 我は神の恩惠を空しくせず、もし義とせらるること律法に由らば、キリストの死に給へるは徒然なり。
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
