テモテへの手紙第二 1
1 神の思召によりキリスト、イエズスに於る生命の約束に從ひてキリスト、イエズスの使徒たるパウロ、
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, according to promise of life, the [life] which [is] in Christ Jesus,
2 至愛の子チモテオに[書簡を贈る]。願はくは父にて在す神、及び我主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と慈悲と平安とを賜はらんことを。
to Timotheus, [my] beloved child: grace, mercy, peace, from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 第一項 キリストに忠實ならんことを勧む 第一編 福音の為に懼なく戰ふべし 我が祖先以來潔き良心を以て奉事せる神に感謝し奉る、蓋晝夜祈祷の中に絶えず汝を記念し、
I am thankful to God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure conscience, how unceasingly I have the remembrance of thee in my supplications night and day,
4 汝の涙を追想して、喜に満たされん為に、汝を見ん事を欲す、
earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 是汝に在る偽なき信仰の記憶を有てるによりてなり、此信仰は曩に汝の祖母ロイズと母ユニケとに宿りたれば、汝にも亦然ある事を確信す。
calling to mind the unfeigned faith which [has been] in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also.
6 是故に我按手によりて、汝の衷なる神の賜を更に熱せしめん事を勧告す、
For which cause I put thee in mind to rekindle the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 其は神の我等に賜ひたるは、臆する霊に非ずして、能力と慈愛と節制との霊なればなり。
For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.
8 然れば我主に對する證明と、其囚人たる我とに耻づる事なく、神の能力に應じて福音の為に我と共に苦を忍べ。
Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of God;
who has saved us, and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to [his] own purpose and grace, which [was] given to us in Christ Jesus before [the] ages of time, (aiōnios g166)
10 此恩寵は、今我救主イエズス、キリストの顕れ給ひしによりて證せられたり、即ち彼は死を亡し、福音を以て生命と不朽とを明にし給ひしなり。
but has been made manifest now by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings;
11 我は此福音の為に立てられて、宣教者たり、使徒たり、異邦人の教師たり。
to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle and teacher of [the] nations.
12 又之が為に斯る苦を受くと雖も之を耻とせず、其は我が信頼し奉れる者の誰なるかを知り、且我に委托し給ひしものを、彼日まで保ち給ふ能力あるを確信すればなり。
For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.
13 汝我に聞きし健全なる言の法を守るに、キリスト、イエズスに於る信仰と愛とを以てし、
Have an outline of sound words, which [words] thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which [are] in Christ Jesus.
14 委托せられし善きものを、我等に宿り給ふ聖霊によりて保て。
Keep, by the Holy Spirit which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted.
15 [小]アジアに在る人々の、皆我を離れし事は汝の知る所にして、フィゼロとヘルモゼネスと其中に在り。
Thou knowest this, that all who [are] in Asia, of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes, have turned away from me.
16 願はくは主オネジフォロの家に憫を賜はんことを、蓋彼は屡我を励まし、我鎖を耻づる事なく、
The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he has often refreshed me, and has not been ashamed of my chain;
17 ロマに來りし時切に尋ねて我を見出せり。
but being in Rome sought me out very diligently, and found [me] —
18 願はくは主彼日に於て、彼に主より憫を得させ給はん事を、彼がエフェゾに於て我を厚遇せし事の如何ばかりなりしかは汝の尚能く知る所なり。
the Lord grant to him to find mercy from [the] Lord in that day — and how much service he rendered in Ephesus thou knowest best.
