コリント人への手紙第二 4
1 是故に我等は、御慈悲を蒙りたるによりて聖役を有する者なれば、弱る事なく、
Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.
2 耻隠す所を棄て、狡猾に挙動ふ事を為ず、又神の御言を僞造せずして眞理を顕し、神の御前に凡ての人の良心に訴へて己を立つるなり。
But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
3 若我等の福音にして尚覆を以て包まれたりとせば、其は亡ぶる人々に對して包まれたるなり。
But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;
in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is [the] image of God, should not shine forth [for them]. (aiōn g165)
5 蓋我等は己が事を宣べず、我主イエズス、キリストの事を宣べて、イエズス、キリストの為に己を汝等の僕となす。
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.
6 蓋命じて光を闇より輝かしめ給ひし神は、キリスト、イエズスの御顔に在る神の光榮の知識を輝かしめん為に、自ら我等の心を照らし給へり。
Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.
7 第三項 使徒たる者の苦痛 然れども我等は此寳を土器の中に有てるなり、是力の偉大なる所は、我等に由らずして神に由るべき故なり。
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:
8 我等萬事に患難を受くれども苦悩せず、窮迫極れども失望せず、
every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;
9 迫害を受くれども棄てられず、倒さるれども亡びず、
persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 何時もイエズスの死を我身に帯ぶ、是イエズスの生命が亦我等の身に於て顕れん為なり。
always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;
11 即ち我等は活ける者なれども、常にイエズスの為死に付さる、是イエズスの生命が、亦死すべき我肉身に於て顕れん為なり。
for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;
12 然れば死は我等の中に働き、生命は汝等の中に働くなり。
so that death works in us, but life in you.
13 然るに信仰の同じ霊を有すれば、録して、「我信じたるが故に語りしなり」とあるが如く、我等も亦信ずるが故に語る、
And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; we also believe, therefore also we speak;
14 イエズスを復活せしめ給ひしものが、我等をもイエズスと共に復活せしめ、汝等と共に立たしめ給ふべしと知ればなり。
knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
15 蓋萬事は汝等の為にして、是恩寵豊に、神の光榮として愈多くの人の感謝を豊ならしめん為なり。
For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 故に我等は沮喪せず、我等の外面の人は腐敗すれども、内面の人は却て日々に新なり。
Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.
For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
