コロサイ人への手紙 1
1 神の思召によりてイエズス、キリストの使徒たるパウロ、及び兄弟チモテオ、
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother,
2 コロサイに於てキリスト（イエズス）に在る聖徒、及び忠信なる兄弟等に[書簡を贈る]。
to the saints in Colossae, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 願はくは我父にて在す神、及び主イエズス、キリストより、汝等に恩寵と平安とを賜はらん事を。
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,
4 第一款 コロサイ人の為に感謝し祈祷す 第一編 教理の部 第一項 キリスト及び其事業 我等キリスト、イエズスに於る汝等の信仰と凡ての聖徒に對する愛情とを聞きて、常に汝等の為に祈りて、我主イエズス、キリストの父にて在す神に感謝し奉る。
having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the saints,
5 是天に於て汝等の為に備へられ、曾て汝等が福音の眞理の言の中に聞きし希望の故なり。
because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,
6 汝等に至れる福音は、果を世界に結びて傳播しつつある事、猶汝等が眞理に從ひて神の恩寵を聞き且識りし日より汝等の中に於て在りしが如し。
which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;
7 汝等之を至愛なる我等の同輩エパフラより學びたるが、彼は汝等の為にキリスト、イエズスの忠信なる役者にして、
as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,
8 [聖]霊によれる汝等の愛情を我等に告げたり。
who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit.
9 故に我等も亦之を聞きし其日より、汝等の為に祈りて止まず、以て汝等が[聖]霊によれる凡ての智恵と悟とによりて、神の御旨を知る[の知識]に満たされん事を求め奉る。
Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
10 是汝等が主に相應しく歩み、萬事につけて御意に合ひ、凡ての善業に於て果を結び、神[を識る]の知識を増し、
to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,
11 其光榮ある全能に從ひて凡ての力を加へられ、喜を以て凡ての事に辛抱し堪忍し、
in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.
12 神にて在す父に感謝し奉ることを得ん為なり。其は忝くも我等を以て、聖徒等と共に榮光を蒙るに足るべき者と為し給ひ、
Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light,
13 暗黒の権威より救出して最愛なる御子の國に移し給ひ、
who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate [us] into the reign of the Son of His love,
14 我等其御子に在りて、御血を以て贖はれ、罪の赦しを得ればなり。
in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,
15 第二款 キリスト及び其事業は広大にして無比なり 御子は即ち見え給はざる神の御姿にして、一切の被造物に先だちて生れ給ひし者なり。
who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,
16 蓋萬物は彼に於て造られ、天にも地にも見ゆるもの、見えざるもの、或は玉座、或は主権、或は権勢、或は能力、皆彼を以て且彼の為に造られ、
because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,
17 御自らは萬物に先だちて在し、萬物は彼の為に存す。
and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.
18 彼は又其體なる教會の頭にて在す、蓋原因に在して其死者の中より先んじて生れ給ひしは、萬事に於て自ら先んずる者と成り給はん為なり、
And himself is the head of the body — the assembly — who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all [things] — himself — first,
19 其は充満せる徳を全く彼に宿らしめ、
because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,
20 彼を以て萬物を己と和睦せしめ、其十字架の血を以て地に在るものをも天に在るものをも和合せしむる事の、御意に適ひたればなり。
and through him to reconcile the all things to himself — having made peace through the blood of his cross — through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
21 汝等も曾て惡業によりて神に遠ざかり、心より其仇となりしを、
And you — once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,
22 神は今御子の肉體に於て其死によりて己と和睦せしめ、聖にして汚なく罪なき者たらしめ、以て御前に供へんとし給へり。
in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,
23 汝等若確乎として信仰に基き、福音に於る希望より動かされずば、當に然あるべし。此福音は、汝等之を聞き、普く天下一切の人に宣べられしが、我パウロは其役者と為られたるなり。
if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under the heaven, of which I became — I Paul — a ministrant.
24 我今汝等の為に苦むを喜ぶ、又キリストの御苦の缺けたる所を、御體なる教會の為に我が肉體に於て補ふなり。
I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,
25 我が教會の役者と為られたるは、汝等の為に神より賜はりたる務に由れり、是神の御言、即ち世々代々に隠れ來りて、
of which I — I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God,
the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, (aiōn g165)
27 此奥義とは光榮の希望にして、汝等に在すキリスト是なり、此奥義の異邦人に及ぼしたる光榮の富の如何を知らしむるは神の御意なり。
to whom God did will to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations — which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,
28 我等は之を宣べ傳へ、凡ての知識に從ひて、凡ての人を誡め凡ての人に教ふ、是凡ての人をしてキリスト、イエズスに於て完全にならしめんが為なり。
whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
29 我が現に勞苦して、我に於て強く働ける彼の勢力に應じて戰ひつつあるは是が為なり。
for which also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power.
