ローマ人への手紙 1
1 キリスト・イエスの僕、召されて使徒となり、神の福音のために選び別たれたるパウロ――
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,
2 この福音は神その預言者たちにより、聖書の中に預じめ御子に就きて約し給ひしものなり。
(Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures)
3 御子は肉によれば、ダビデの裔より生れ、
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh.
4 潔き靈によれば、死人の復活により大能をもて神の子と定められ給へり、即ち我らの主イエス・キリストなり。
And declared [to be] the Son of God, with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5 我等その御名の爲にもろもろの國人を信仰に從順ならしめんとて、彼より恩惠と使徒の職とを受けたり。
By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his name:
6 汝 等もその中にあり、てイエス・キリストの有とならん爲に召されたるなり。――
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 われ書をロマに在りて神に愛せられ、召されて聖徒となりたる凡ての者に贈る。願はくは我らの父なる神および主イエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。
To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 汝らの信仰、全世界に言ひ傳へられたれば、我まづ汝ら一同の爲にイエス・キリストによりて我が神に感謝す。
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 その御子の福音に於て我が靈をもて事ふる神は、わが絶えず祈のうちに汝らを覺え、
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,
10 如何にしてか御意に適ひ、いつか汝らに到るべき途を得んと、常に冀がふことを我がために證し給ふなり。
Making request (if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God) to come to you.
11 われ汝らを見んことを切に望むは、汝らの堅うせられん爲に靈の賜物を分け與へんとてなり。
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
12 即ち我なんぢらの中にありて、互の信仰により相 共に慰められん爲なり。
That is, that I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 兄弟よ、我ほかの異邦人の中より得しごとく、汝らの中よりも實を得んとて、屡次なんぢらに往かんとしたれど、今に至りてなほ妨げらる、此の事を汝らの知らざるを欲せず。
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you (but have been hitherto hindered) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 我はギリシヤ人にも夷人にも、智き者にも愚なる者にも負債あり。
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians, both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15 この故に我はロマに在る汝らにも福音を宣傳へんことを頻りに願ふなり。
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 我は福音を恥とせず、この福音はユダヤ人を始めギリシヤ人にも、凡て信ずる者に救を得さする神の力たればなり。
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 神の義はその福音のうちに顯れ、信仰より出でて信仰に進ましむ。録して『義人は信仰によりて生くべし』とある如し。
For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 それ神の怒は、不義をもて眞理を阻む人の、もろもろの不虔と不義とに對ひて天より顯る。
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
19 その故は、神につきて知り得べきことは彼らに顯著なればなり、神これを顯し給へり。
Because that which may be known of God, is manifest in them; for God hath shown [it] to them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)
21 神を知りつつも尚これを神として崇めず、感謝せず、その念は虚しく、その愚なる心は暗くなれり。
Because that when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 自ら智しと稱へて愚となり、
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools:
23 朽つることなき神の榮光を易へて、朽つべき人および禽獸・匍ふ物に似たる像となす。
And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping animals.
24 この故に神は彼らを其の心の慾にまかせて、互にその身を辱しむる汚穢に付し給へり。
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 之によりて神は彼らを恥づべき慾に付し給へり。即ち女は順性の用を易へて逆性の用となし、
For this cause God gave them up to vile affections. For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 男もまた同じく女の順性の用を棄てて互に情 慾を熾し、男と男と恥づることを行ひて、その迷に値すべき報を己が身に受けたり。
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
28 また神を心に存むるを善しとせざれば、神もその邪曲なる心の隨に爲まじき事をするに任せ給へり。
And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 即ちもろもろの不義・惡・慳貪・惡意にて滿つる者、また嫉妬・殺意・紛爭・詭計・惡念の溢るる者、
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 讒言する者・謗る者・神に憎まるる者・侮る者・高ぶる者・誇る者・惡事を企つる者・父母に逆ふ者、
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 無知・違約・無情・無 慈悲なる者にして、
Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 かかる事どもを行ふ者の死罪に當るべき神の定を知りながら、啻に自己これらの事を行ふのみならず、また人の之を行ふを可しとせり。
Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death; not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
