ローマ人への手紙 15
1 我等強き者は弱き人々の虚弱を擔ふべくして、己を喜ばすべからず、
Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 汝等各近き人の徳を立つべく、善事を以て之を喜ばすべし。
Let each one of us please his neighbour for that which is good, to be building him up.
3 蓋キリストは己を喜ばし給はず、却て録して、「汝[主]を罵れる人々の侮辱我に落ちかかれり」、とあるが如くに為し給へり。
For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
4 蓋凡て曩に録されたる事は我等に教訓となり、我等をして聖書に依る忍耐と慰籍とを以て、希望を保たしめん為に録されたるなり。
For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 願はくは忍耐と慰籍とを賜ふ神、汝等をしてイエズス、キリストに從ひて心を同じうせしめ、
Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
6 一の心、一の口を以て我主イエズス、キリストの神にして父にて在すものを崇め奉るを得しめ給はん事を。
that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 然ればキリストが神の光榮の為に汝等を承容れ給ひし如く、汝等も互に承容れよ。
Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
8 我は言はん、キリスト、イエズスが割禮[の人々]の役者となり給ひしは、神の眞實を顕し、祖先の[蒙りし]約束を固め、
Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
9 又異邦人をして神を其憫によりて崇めしめ給はん為なり。録して「然れば主よ、我異邦人の中に汝を宣言し、且御名を讃謳はん」とあるが如し。
and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you amongst the Gentiles and sing to your name.”
10 又曰く、「異邦人等よ、主の民と共に喜べ」、
Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11 又「諸の國、主を讃美せよ、諸の民之を崇め奉れ」とあり。
Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
12 又イザヤ曰く、「イエッセの根は芽して異邦人を治むべきもの起らん、異邦人之を希望せん」と。
Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
13 願はくは希望の神、信仰によりて起る一切の喜と平安とを汝等に満たしめ、聖霊の力を以て汝等の希望に豊ならしめ給はん事を。
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 第一款 弁解及び願望 第二項 パウロ自身に関する事故 我兄弟等よ、我も汝等が自ら慈愛に満ち、且凡ての智識に満ちて、能く互に訓戒し得る者なる事を確信す。
I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
15 然れど兄弟等よ、我が動もすれば餘りに憚りなく汝等に書贈りしこと、恰も汝等をして思出さしめんとせる如くなるは、是神より我に賜はりたる恩寵に由れり。
But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
16 此恩寵あるは、我異邦人の為に、キリスト、イエズスの役者となりて、神の福音の祭務を執行し、異邦人が聖霊に由りて聖とせられ、御意に適へる献物とならん為なり。
that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 然れば神に関して、キリスト、イエズスに於て我が誇るべき所あり。
I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
18 蓋キリストが異邦人を從はしめん為に我を用ひ、言と行とを以て、
For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
19 徴と奇蹟との勢力及び聖霊に由る能力に由りて為し給へる事に非ざれば、我敢て之を語らず。即ちエルザレムよりイルリコ[州]に至る迄の地方を巡りて、キリストの福音を満たせり。
in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;
20 但福音を宣べしは、キリストの御名の既に稱へられたる處に非ず、是は他人の置きたる基礎の上に築かざらん為なり。
yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
21 録して、「未だ告げられざりし人々は之を見ん、聞かざりし人々は悟らん」、とあるが如し。
But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
22 我が汝等に至る事之が為に妨げられて、我今まで留められたりしが、
Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
23 今は早此地方に為すべき事なく、汝等に至らん事は、年來の切なる願なれば、
but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
24 イスパニアへ往かん時に、立寄りて汝等を見ん事、又汝等を以て幾分の満足を得たる後、汝等より彼處へ送られん事、是我希望なり。
whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
25 然れば今はエルザレムに至り、聖徒等に事へんとす。
But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
26 蓋マケドニア及びアカヤ[州]（の人々）はエルザレムに居る聖徒の貧者の為に、幾何か醵金するを以て善しとせり。
For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor amongst the saints who are at Jerusalem.
27 彼人々は之を善しとせしが、而も彼等に負債ある者なり。蓋異邦人は、彼等の霊的事物の分配を受けたれば、肉的事物を以て彼等に供すべきなり。
Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.
28 然れば我此用事を終へ、其果を彼等に頒與へて後、汝等を経てイスパニアへ往かん。
When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
29 我汝等に至らば、キリスト（の福音）の豊なる祝福を以て至るべきは、我が知る所なり。
I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
30 故に兄弟等よ、我主イエズス、キリストに由り、又聖霊の寵に由りて、我汝等に希ふ。我為に神に為す祈を以て我と共に戰へ。
Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
31 是ユデアに在る不信者より我が救はれん為、且持行く贈物がエルザレムの聖徒等の意に適はん為、
that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
32 我が神の御旨に從ひ喜びて汝等に至り、汝等と共に安んずる事を得ん為なり。
that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
33 願はくは平和の神汝等一同と共に在さん事を、アメン。
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
