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 Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News 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 promised before through 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, who was born of the offspring 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。
who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
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。
through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
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 you are also called to belong to 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 who are in Rome, loved by 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 all of you, because your faith is proclaimed 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 in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you
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。
always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed 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 strengthen you;
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 you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
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 do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.
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 have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
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, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
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 Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for 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 it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will 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 people, who suppress the truth by 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 what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So 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, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 自ら智しと稱へて愚となり、
Claiming 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 traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
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。
Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,
who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to 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。
Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
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。
Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;
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, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
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、
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 無知・違約・無情・無 慈悲なる者にして、
foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, 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 ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
