< ピリピ人への手紙 3 >
1 終に言はん、我が兄弟よ、なんぢら主に在りて喜べ。なんぢらに同じことを書きおくるは、我に煩はしきことなく、汝 等には安然なり。
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
2 なんぢら犬に心せよ、惡しき勞動人に心せよ、肉の割禮ある者に心せよ。
Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.
3 神の御靈によりて禮拜をなし、キリスト・イエスによりて誇り、肉を恃まぬ我らは眞の割禮ある者なり。
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4 されど我は肉にも恃むことを得るなり。もし他の人、肉に恃むところありと思はば、我は更に恃む所あり。
though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5 我は八日めに割禮を受けたる者にして、イスラエルの血統、ベニヤミンの族、ヘブル人より出でたるヘブル人なり。律法に就きてはパリサイ人、
circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6 熱心につきては教會を迫害したるもの、律法によれる義に就きては責むべき所なかりし者なり。
concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 されど曩に我が益たりし事はキリストのために損と思ふに至れり。
However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.
8 然り、我はわが主キリスト・イエスを知ることの優れたるために、凡ての物を損なりと思ひ、彼のために既に凡ての物を損せしが、之を塵芥のごとく思ふ。
Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
9 これキリストを獲、かつ律法による己が義ならで、唯キリストを信ずる信仰による義、すなはち信仰に基きて神より賜はる義を保ち、キリストに在るを認められ、
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,
10 キリストとその復活の力とを知り、又その死に效ひて彼の苦難にあづかり、
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
11 如何にもして死人の中より甦へることを得んが爲なり。
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 われ既に取れり、既に全うせられたりと言ふにあらず、唯これを捉へんとて追ひ求む。キリストは之を得させんとて我を捉へたまへり。
Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 兄弟よ、われは既に捉へたりと思はず、唯この一事を務む、即ち後のものを忘れ、前のものに向ひて勵み、
Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14 標準を指して進み、神のキリスト・イエスに由りて上に召したまふ召にかかはる褒美を得んとて之を追ひ求む。
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 されば我等のうち成人したる者は、みな斯くのごとき思を懷くべし、汝 等もし何事にても異なる思を懷き居らば、神これをも示し給はん。
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.
17 兄弟よ、なんぢら諸共に我に效ふものとなれ、且なんぢらの模範となる我らに循ひて歩むものを視よ。
Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
18 そは我しばしば汝らに告げ、今また涙を流して告ぐる如く、キリストの十字架に敵して歩む者おほければなり。
For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 彼らの終は滅亡なり。おのが腹を神となし、己が恥を光榮となし、ただ地の事のみを念ふ。
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
20 されど我らの國籍は天に在り、我らは主イエス・キリストの救主として其の處より來りたまふを待つ。
For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 彼は萬物を己に服はせ得る能力によりて、我らの卑しき状の體を化へて、己が榮光の體に象らせ給はん。
who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
