ローマ人への手紙 13
1 凡ての人、上にある權威に服ふべし。そは神によらぬ權威なく、あらゆる權威は神によりて立てらる。
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God.
2 この故に權威にさからふ者は神の定に悖るなり、悖る者は自らその審判を招かん。
Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.
3 長たる者は善き業の懼にあらず、惡しき業の懼なり、なんぢ權威を懼れざらんとするか、善をなせ、然らば彼より譽を得ん。
For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:
4 かれは汝を益せんための神の役者なり。然れど惡をなさば懼れよ、彼は徒らに劍をおびず、神の役者にして、惡をなす者に怒をもて報ゆるなり。
for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.
5 然れば服はざるべからず、啻に怒の爲のみならず、良心のためなり。
Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 また之がために汝ら貢を納む、彼らは神の仕人にして此の職に勵むなり。
For for this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 汝 等その負債をおのおのに償へ、貢を受くべき者に貢ををさめ、税を受くべき者に税ををさめ、畏るべき者をおそれ、尊ぶべき者をたふとべ。
Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 汝 等たがひに愛を負ふのほか何をも人に負ふな。人を愛する者は律法を全うするなり。
Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law.
9 それ『姦淫する勿れ、殺すなかれ、盜むなかれ、貪るなかれ』と云へるこの他なほ誡命ありとも『おのれの如く隣を愛すべし』といふ言の中にみな籠るなり。
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 愛は隣を害はず、この故に愛は律法の完全なり。
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
11 なんぢら時を知る故に、いよいよ然なすべし。今は眠より覺むべき時なり。始めて信ぜし時よりも今は我らの救 近ければなり。
And this, knowing the season, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed.
12 夜ふけて日 近づきぬ、然れば我ら暗黒の業をすてて光明の甲を著るべし。
The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 晝のごとく正しく歩みて宴樂・醉酒に、淫樂・好色に、爭鬪・嫉妬に歩むべきに非ず。
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.
14 ただ汝ら主イエス・キリストを衣よ、肉の慾のために備すな。
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfill] the lusts [thereof].
