テモテへの手紙第一 1
1 我救主にて在す神及び我等が希望にて在すキリスト、イエズスの命によりてキリスト、イエズスの使徒たるパウロ、信仰上の實子チモテオに[書簡を贈る]。
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 願はくは父にて在す神及び我主キリスト、イエズスより恩寵と慈悲と平安とを賜はらん事を。
to Timotheus — genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,
3 第一項 教會の為に善く戰ふべし 第一編 教會の為に要求する所 我曾てマケドニアに往きし時汝に願ひし如く、汝はエフェゾに留り、或人々に命じて異なる事を教へざらしめ、
according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus — I going on to Macedonia — that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,
4 且信仰に基ける神の道を立つるにはあらで却て様々の議論を起さする寓言と、究極なき系圖とに從事する事なからしめよ。
nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: —
5 抑此命令の目的は、潔き心と善き良心と偽なき信仰とに出づる愛なり。
And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,
6 然れども彼人々は、是等の事に外れて無益なる談話に移り、
from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,
7 自ら律法の教師たらんと欲して、其言ふ所をも断言する所をも覚らざるなり。
willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,
8 然れども我等、律法は人正しく之を用ふれば善きものなることを知れり。
and we have known that the law [is] good, if any one may use it lawfully;
9 律法の設けられしは義人の為に非ずして、不法人、反抗者、不敬者、罪人、無宗教者、卑俗者、父を殺す者、母を殺す者、殺人者、
having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,
10 私通者、男色者、誘拐者、虚言者、偽證者、及び健全なる教に反する他の一切の事の為なりと知るべきなり、
whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,
11 我に委られたる至福に在す神の光榮の福音に在るが如し。
according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
12 我を堅固ならしめ給ひし我主キリスト、イエズスに感謝し奉る。其は我を聖役に任じて忠信なる者とし給ひたればなり。
And I give thanks to him who enabled me — Christ Jesus our Lord — that he did reckon me stedfast, having put [me] to the ministration,
13 即ち我曩には冒涜者、迫害者、侮辱者たりしかど、信ぜざる時知らずして為ししが故に、慈悲を蒙りて、
who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief,
14 キリスト、イエズスに於る信仰及び愛と共に、我主の恩寵身に餘れり。
and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus:
15 眞實にして全く信ずべき談なる哉、キリスト、イエズスの世に來り給ひしは罪人を救はん為なる事。我は其罪人の第一なり。
stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners — first of whom I am;
but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during: (aiōnios g166)
and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honour and glory — to the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 我子チモテオよ、汝に関はれる豫ての預言に從ひ、此命令を汝に寄す、之に應じて善き戰を戰ひ、
This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,
19 信仰と善き良心とを保て。或人々は之を棄て、信仰に就きて破船せしが、
having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,
20 其中にヒメネオとアレキサンデルと在りしを、冒涜せざる事を學ばしめんとて我之をサタンに付せり。
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
