ローマ人への手紙 14
1 なんぢら信仰の弱き者を容れよ、その思ふところを詰るな。
Him that is weake in the faith, receiue vnto you, but not for controuersies of disputations.
2 或 人は凡ての物を食ふを可しと信じ、弱き人はただ野菜を食ふ。
One beleeueth that he may eate of all things: and another, which is weake, eateth herbes.
3 食ふ者は食はぬ者を蔑すべからず、食はぬ者は食ふ者を審くべからず、神は彼を容れ給へばなり。
Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, condemne him that eateth: for God hath receiued him.
4 なんぢ如何なる者なれば、他人の僕を審くか、彼が立つも倒るるも其の主人に由れり。彼は必ず立てられん、主は能く之を立たせ給ふべし。
Who art thou that condemnest another mans seruant? hee standeth or falleth to his owne master: yea, he shalbe established: for God is able to make him stand.
5 或 人は此の日を彼の日に勝ると思ひ、或 人は凡ての日を等しとおもふ、各人おのが心の中に確く定むべし。
This man esteemeth one day aboue another day, and another man counteth euery day alike: let euery man be fully perswaded in his minde.
6 日を重んずる者は主のために之を重んず。食ふ者は主のために食ふ、これ神に感謝すればなり。食はぬ者も主のために食はず、かつ神に感謝するなり。
He that obserueth the day, obserueth it to the Lord: and he that obserueth not the day, obserueth it not to the Lord. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giueth God thankes: and he that eateth not, eateth not to the Lord, and giueth God thankes.
7 我等のうち己のために生ける者なく、己のために死ぬる者なし。
For none of vs liueth to himselfe, neither doeth any die to himselfe.
8 われら生くるも主のために生き、死ぬるも主のために死ぬ。然れば生くるも死ぬるも我らは主の有なり。
For whether wee liue, we liue vnto the Lord: or whether we die, we die vnto the Lord: whether we liue therefore, or die, we are the Lords.
9 それキリストの死にて復 生き給ひしは、死にたる者と生ける者との主とならん爲なり。
For Christ therefore died and rose againe, and reuiued, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quicke.
10 なんぢ何ぞその兄弟を審くか、汝なんぞ其の兄弟を蔑するか、我等はみな神の審判の座の前に立つべし。
But why doest thou condemne thy brother? or why doest thou despise thy brother? for we shall all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ.
11 録して『主いひ給ふ、我は生くるなり、凡ての膝はわが前に屈み、凡ての舌は神を讃め稱へん』とあり。
For it is written, I liue, sayth the Lord, and euery knee shall bowe to me, and all tongues shall confesse vnto God.
12 我等おのおの神のまへに己の事を陳ぶべし。
So then euery one of vs shall giue accounts of himselfe to God.
13 されば今より後、われら互に審くべからず、むしろ兄弟のまへに妨碍または躓物を置かぬように心を決めよ。
Let vs not therefore iudge one another any more: but vse your iudgement rather in this, that no man put an occasion to fall, or a stumbling blocke before his brother.
14 われ如何なる物も自ら潔からぬ事なきを主イエスに在りて知り、かつ確く信ず。ただ潔からずと思ふ人にのみ潔からぬなり。
I know, and am perswaded through the Lord Iesus, that there is nothing vncleane of it selfe: but vnto him that iudgeth any thing to be vncleane, to him it is vncleane.
15 もし食物によりて兄弟を憂ひしめば、汝は愛によりて歩まざるなり、キリストの代りて死に給ひし人を、汝の食物によりて亡すな。
But if thy brother be grieued for the meate, nowe walkest thou not charitably: destroy not him with thy meate, for whome Christ dyed.
16 汝らの善きことの譏られぬようにせよ。
Cause not your commoditie to be euill spoken of.
17 それ神の國は飮食にあらず、義と平和と聖 靈によれる歡喜とに在るなり。
For the kingdome of God, is not meate nor drinke, but righteousnes, and peace, and ioye in the holy Ghost.
18 かくしてキリストに事ふる者は神に悦ばれ、人々に善しとせらるるなり。
For whosoeuer in these things serueth Christ, is acceptable vnto God, and is approoued of men.
19 されば我ら平和のことと互に徳を建つる事とを追ひ求むべし。
Let vs then follow those things which concerne peace, and wherewith one may edifie another.
20 なんぢ食物のために神の御業を毀つな。凡ての物は潔し、されど之を食ひて人を躓かする者には惡とならん。
Destroy not the worke of God for meates sake: all things in deede are pure: but it is euill for the man which eateth with offence.
21 肉を食はず、葡萄酒を飮まず、その他なんぢの兄弟を躓かする事をせぬは善し。
It is good neither to eate flesh, nor to drinke wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or made weake.
22 なんぢの有てる信仰を己みづから神の前に保て。善しとする所につきて自ら咎めなき者は幸福なり。
Hast thou faith? haue it with thy selfe before God: blessed is hee that condemneth not himselfe in that thing which he aloweth.
23 疑ひつつ食ふ者は罪せらる。これ信仰によらぬ故なり、凡て信仰によらぬ事は罪なり。
For he that doubteth, is condemned if he eate, because he eateth not of faith: and whatsoeuer is not of faith, is sinne.
