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 weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful 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。
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
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 judge him that eateth: for God hath received 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 judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: 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。
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
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 regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
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 us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
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 we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
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 to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
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 dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat 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, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 我等おのおの神のまへに己の事を陳ぶべし。
So then every one of us shall give account of himself 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 us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother’s way.
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 persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.
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 grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 汝らの善きことの譏られぬようにせよ。
Let not then your good be evil 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 kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy 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 he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved 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 us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify 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。
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who 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 eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
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? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
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。
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.
