< ローマ人への手紙 10 >
1 兄弟よ、わが心のねがひ、神に對する祈は、彼らの救はれんことなり。
Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
2 われ彼らが神のために熱心なることを證す、されど其の熱心は知識によらざるなり。
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 それは神の義を知らず、己の義を立てんとして、神の義に服はざればなり。
For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 キリストは凡て信ずる者の義とせられん爲に律法の終となり給へり。
For Messiah is the fulfilment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 モーセは、律法による義をおこなふ人は之によりて生くべしと録したり。
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
6 されど信仰による義は斯くいふ『なんぢ心に「誰か天に昇らん」と言ふなかれ』と。
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Messiah down);
7 これキリストを引下さんとするなり『また「たれか底なき所に下らん」と言ふなかれ』と。是キリストを死人の中より引上げんとするなり。 (Abyssos )
or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)” (Abyssos )
8 さらば何と言ふか『御言はなんぢに近し、なんぢの口にあり、汝の心にあり』と。これ我らが宣ぶる信仰の言なり。
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we proclaim:
9 即ち、なんぢ口にてイエスを主と言ひあらはし、心にて神の之を死人の中より甦へらせ給ひしことを信ぜば、救はるべし。
that if you will confess with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 それ人は心に信じて義とせられ、口に言ひあらはして救はるるなり。
For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
11 聖書にいふ『すべて彼を信ずる者は辱しめられじ』と。
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
12 ユダヤ人とギリシヤ人との區別なし、同一の主は萬民の主にましまして、凡て呼び求むる者に對して豐なり。
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
13 『すべて主の御名を呼び求むる者は救はるべし』とあればなり。
For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 然れど未だ信ぜぬ者を爭で呼び求むることをせん、未だ聽かぬ者を爭で信ずることをせん、宣傳ふる者なくば爭で聽くことをせん。
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a proclaimer?
15 遣されずば爭で宣傳ふることをせん『ああ美しきかな、善き事を告ぐる者の足よ』と録されたる如し。
And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 されど、みな福音に從ひしにはあらず、イザヤいふ『主よ、われらに聞きたる言を誰か信ぜし』
But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 斯く信仰は聞くにより、聞くはキリストの言による。
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 されど我いふ、彼ら聞えざりしか、然らず『その聲は全地にゆきわたり、其の言は世界の極にまで及べり』
But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 我また言ふ、イスラエルは知らざりしか、先づモーセ言ふ『われ民ならぬ者をもて汝らに嫉を起させ、愚なる民をもて汝らを怒らせん』
But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
20 またイザヤ憚らずして言ふ『我を求めざる者に、われ見出され、我を尋ねざる者に我あらはれたり』
Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”
21 更にイスラエルに就きては『われ服はずして言ひさからふ民に、終日 手を伸べたり』と云へり。
But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
