ローマ人への手紙 13
1 第二款 社會に於る信徒の義務 人各上に立てる諸権に服すべし。蓋権にして神より出でざるはなく、現に在る所の権は神より定められたるものなり、
LET every soul to the powers of dominion be subject. For there is no power that is not from Aloha, and the powers that be, of Aloha are they instituted.
2 故に権に逆らふ人は神の定に逆らひ、逆らふ人々は己に罪を得。
Whoever then riseth up against the power, against the institution of Aloha he riseth; and they who arise against them will receive judgment.
3 君主等を懼るべきは、善き業の為に非ずして惡き業の為なり。汝権を懼れざらんと欲するか、善を行へ、然らば彼より誉を得べし。
For judges are not a terror to the workers of good, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do good, and thou shalt have praise from him.
4 其は汝を益せん為の神の役者なればなり。然れど汝若惡を行はば懼れよ、其は彼は徒に剣を帯ぶるものに非ず、神の役者にして惡を行ふ人に怒を以て報ゆるものなればなり。
For he is the servant of Aloha, but to thee for good: and if thou do evil, fear; for not in vain is he girded with the sword; for he is the servant of Aloha, and the dispenser of wrath to them who do evil.
5 然れば服從する事は、汝等に必要にして、啻に怒の為のみならず、亦良心の為なり。
And because of this are we bound to be subject, not for the wrath only, but also because of conscience.
6 蓋汝等は亦之が為に税を納む、其は彼等は神の役者にして、之が為に務むればなり。
On this account also give we tribute to them; for they are the servants of Aloha over these things constituted.
7 然れば汝等凡ての人に負目を返せ、即ち税を納むべき人には税を納め、課物を払ふべき人には之を払ひ、懼るべき者には懼れ、尊ぶべき者は之を尊べ。
Render therefore to every man as is due to him: to whom tribute (is due, ) tribute; and to whom custom, custom; and to whom reverence, reverence; and to whom honour, honour.
8 汝等相愛するの外は、誰にも何等の負債あるべからず、其は近き者を愛する人は律法を全うしたる者なればなり。
And to no man owe any thing, but one another to love. For whoever loveth his neighbour fulfilleth the law:
9 蓋「汝姦淫する勿れ、殺す勿れ、盗む勿れ、僞證する勿れ、貪る勿れ」、此外に誡ありと雖も、汝の近き者を己の如くに愛せよとの言の中に約る。
for that also which it hath said, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit adultery; and, Thou shalt not steal; and, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, in this word it is accomplished, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 愛は他人に惡しき事を為ず、故に愛は律法の完備なり。
Love unto his neighbour evil worketh not: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 斯すべきは是我等が時期を知れる故なり。即ち眠より起くべき時は既に來れり、蓋信仰せし時よりも我等の救霊は今や近きにあり。
AND also this know, that the time is, and the hour is, when we should be awake from our sleep; for now hath drawn nearer to us our salvation than when we believed.
12 夜は更けたり、日は近づけり、然れば我等は暗の業を棄てて、光の鎧を着るべし、
The night now passeth away, and the day hath drawn nigh; put we away then from us the works of darkness, and let us clothe with the arms of light.
13 日中の如く正しく歩むべくして、饕食と酔酗、密通と淫亂、争闘と嫉妬とに歩む可からず、
And as in the day, let us walk decorously, not with the song, nor with drunkenness, nor in the unclean chamber, nor in envy and in contention;
14 却て主イエズス、キリストを着よ、且惡慾起るべき肉の慮を為すこと勿れ。
but let (every one) clothe himself with our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and care not for your flesh unto the lusts (thereof).
