ローマ人への手紙 2
1 然れば総て是非する人よ、汝は弁解する事を得ず、蓋他人を是非するは己を罪する所以なり、其自ら是非する所と同じ事を為せばなり。
You are therefore inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, that sits in judgment; for in judging another you are condemning yourself. You, the judge, are habitually practising the very same things.
2 我等は斯の如き事を為す人に對して、神の審判が眞理に適へる事を知れり。
"We know that God’s judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?
3 然て斯る事を為す者を是非しつつ自ら之を行ふ人よ、汝は神の審判を免れんと思ふか、
Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?
4 神の仁慈と堪忍と耐久との豊なるを軽んずるか、神の慈愛の汝を改心に導きつつあるを知らざるか。
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?
5 然て汝が頑固と悔悛めざる心とに由りて、己の為に神の御怒を積み、
In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.
6 各其業に應じて報い給ふべき神の正しき審判の顕るべき御怒の日に當りて之に触れん。
For He will render to every man according to his works;
eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality; (aiōnios g166)
8 争へる人、眞理に服せず不義に就く人には、怒と憤とあるべし。
but anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.
9 凡て惡を行ふ者の霊魂には、ユデア人を初めギリシア人にも、患難と辛苦とあるべけれど、
Anguish and calamity will be upon every soul of man who practises evil, upon the Jew first, and also upon the Gentile;
10 凡て善を行ふ者にはユデア人を初めギリシア人にも光榮と尊貴と平安とあるべし。
but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.
11 其は人に就きて偏り給ふ事は神に無き所なればなり。
For there is no partiality with God.
12 蓋総て律法なくして罪を犯しし人は律法なくして亡びん、又総て律法ありて罪を犯しし人は律法によりて審判せられん、
For all who have sinned without law will also perish without law; and all who have sinned under law will be judged by law.
13 其は律法の聴聞者は神の御前に義人たらずして、律法の實行者こそ義とせらるべければなり。
For it is not the hearers of law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous.
14 蓋律法を有たざる異邦人等が、自然に律法の事を行ふ時は、斯る律法を有たずと雖も自ら己に律法たるなり。
For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.
15 彼等は律法の働の己が心に銘されたるを顕し、其良心之が證を為し、其思相互に、或は咎め或は弁解する事あればなり。
For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,
16 是我福音に宣ぶる如く、神がイエズス、キリストを以て人々の密事を審判し給ふべき日に明かならん。
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
17 然るに汝はユデア人と稱せられて律法に安んじ、神を以て誇と為し、
Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God,
18 其御旨を知り、律法に諭されて一層有益なる事を認め、
and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,
19 敢て己を以て盲者の手引、暗黒に在る人の燈火、
and are confident that you yourself are a darkness,
20 愚者の教師、兒等の師匠なりとし、律法に於て學識と眞理との則を有てる者と思へり。
an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth - well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself?
21 然りながら汝は人を教へて己を教へず、盗む勿れと述べて自ら盗み、
You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?
22 姦淫する勿れと云ひて自ら姦淫し、偶像を憎みて聖なるものを冒し、
You who keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples?
23 律法に誇りつつ自ら律法を破りて神を辱しむ、
You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?
24 録して、「神の御名は汝等によりて異邦人の中に罵らる」、とあるが如し。
For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says.
25 汝律法を守る時は割禮其益ありと雖も、律法を破る時は汝の割禮は既に無割禮となれるなり。
Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.
26 然れば無割禮[の人]律法の禁令を守らば、其無割禮は割禮と斉しく視做さるべきに非ずや。
So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.
27 斯て生來無割禮[の人]律法を全うせば、儀文及び割禮ありながら律法を破れる汝を罪に定めん。
And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised, but who keep the Law, condemn you who are a breaker of the Law, although you have a written law and circumcision?
28 蓋表に然ある人がユデア人たるに非ず、又陽に身に在るものが割禮たるに非ず。
For the real Jew is not the man who is one outwardly, and the real circumcision is not outward in the flesh;
29 心中に然ある人こそユデア人、儀文によらず霊による心のものこそ割禮にして、其誉は人より來らず而も神より來る。
but the real Jew is one inwardly, and real circumcision is heart- circumcision, spiritual, not literal, praised not by men, but by God.
