1그리스도 예수님을 전파하다가 갇힌 바울과 디모데는 사랑하는 동역자 빌레몬과
2자매 압비아와 또 함께 그리스도의 군인이 된 아킵보와 그대의 집에서 모이는 교회에
3하나님 우리 아버지와 주 예수 그리스도의 은혜와 평안이 함께하기를 기도합니다.
바울의 부탁
4나는 기도할 때마다 그대를 생각하며 언제나 내 하나님께 감사하고 있습니다.
5그것은 그대가 주 예수님을 굳게 믿고 모든 성도들을 사랑한다는 말을 내가 듣고 있기 때문입니다.
6그대는 믿음의 교제를 함으로써 우리가 그리스도 안에서 가진 모든 선한 것을 충분히 이해하기를 기도합니다.
7형제여, 나는 그대가 베푼 사랑으로 성도들이 용기를 얻게 되었다는 말을 듣고 큰 기쁨과 위로를 받았습니다.
8그러므로 내가 그리스도 안에서 그대가 해야 할 일을 담대하게 명령할 수도 있습니다.
9그러나 사랑하는 마음으로 그대에게 부탁하려고 합니다. 이제 나이 많아 그리스도 예수님을 위해 죄수가 된
10나 바울은 갇힌 중에 얻은 믿음의 아들 오네시모를 위해 그대에게 부탁합니다.
11그가 전에는 그대에게 쓸모없는 사람이었으나 이제는 그대와 나에게 필요한 사람이 되었습니다.
12그래서 내 심장과 같은 그를 그대에게 돌려보냅니다.
13나는 기쁜 소식을 위해 내가 갇혀 있는 동안 그를 내 곁에 두고 그대를 대신해서 나를 돕게 하고 싶었습니다.
14그러나 나는 그대의 승낙 없이는 아무것도 하고 싶지 않습니다. 이것은 그대의 선한 일이 억지가 아니라 자발적인 것이 되도록 하기 위한 것입니다.
15그가 잠시 그대를 떠나게 된 이것으로 인해서 그가 영원히 그대를 섬기게 될지도 모릅니다.
16이제부터는 그를 종으로서가 아니라 종 이상의 사랑하는 형제로 대해 주시오. 나에게 이처럼 소중한 그는 종으로서, 주님을 믿는 형제로서 그대에게 더욱더 소중할 것입니다.
17만일 그대가 나를 친구로 여긴다면 나를 대하듯 그를 반갑게 맞아 주시오.
18그가 그대에게 손해를 끼쳤거나 빚진 것이 있으면 그것을 나에게 청구하시오. 내가 다 갚겠습니다.
19내가 직접 이 글을 써서 말하지만 내가 갚겠습니다. 내가 이런 말을 하지 말아야겠지만 그대도 나에게 빚진 것이 있음을 기억하시오.
20형제여, 내가 주님 안에서 그대를 통해 기쁨을 얻게 하고 그리스도 안에서 내 마음이 평안하게 해 주시오.
21나는 그대가 내 말에 순종하리라는 것을 확신하고 또 기대 이상으로 해 줄 것을 알고 이 글을 씁니다.
22그리고 내가 머물 방도 하나 마련해 주시오. 여러분의 기도로 내가 그 곳에 갈 수 있게 되기를 바랍니다.
23그리스도 예수님을 전파하다가 함께 갇힌 에바브라가 그대에게 문안합니다.
24또 함께 일하는 마가와 아리스다고와 데마와 누가도 그대에게 문안합니다.
25주 예수 그리스도의 은혜가 여러분과 함께하기를 기도합니다.

የሐዋርያው ጳውሎስ መልእክት ወደ ቈላስይስ ሰዎች
1በእግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ የክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ሐዋርያ ከሆነው ከጳውሎስና ከወንድማችን ከጢሞቴዎስ፤
2በቈላስይስ ለሚኖሩ፣ በክርስቶስ ለሆኑ ቅዱሳንና ታማኝ1፥2 ወይም የሚያመኑ ወንድሞች፤
ከእግዚአብሔር ከአባታችን1፥2 አንዳንድ የጥንት ቅጆች ከአባትና ከጌታ ከኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ጸጋና ሰላም ለእናንተ ይሁን።
ምስጋናና ጸሎት
3ስለ እናንተ በምንጸልይበት ጊዜ የጌታችንን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን አባት እግዚአብሔርን ሁል ጊዜ እናመሰግናለን፤ 4ምክንያቱም በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ስላላችሁ እምነትና ለቅዱሳን ሁሉ ስላላችሁ ፍቅር ሰምተናል፤ 5ይህም የሆነው በሰማይ ተዘጋጅቶ ከተቀመጠላችሁ ተስፋ የተነሣ ነው፤ ስለዚህ ተስፋ በወንጌል የእውነት ቃል አስቀድማችሁ ሰማችሁ፤ 6ይህም ወደ እናንተ ደርሶአል። ይህንም ወንጌል ከሰማችሁበትና የእግዚአብሔርን ጸጋ በእውነት ከተረዳችሁበት ቀን ጀምሮ በዓለም ዙሪያ እየሠራ እንዳለ ሁሉ በእናንተም ዘንድ ፍሬ እያፈራና እያደገ ነው። 7ይህንም ስለ እኛ1፥7 አንዳንድ የጥንት ቅጆች እናንተ ይላሉ። የክርስቶስ ታማኝ አገልጋይ የሆነው፣ አብሮንም በአገልግሎት የተጠመደው ተወዳጁ ኤጳፍራ አስተማራችሁ፤ 8ደግሞም በመንፈስ ስላላችሁ ፍቅር ነገረን።
9ከዚህ የተነሣ እኛ ደግሞ ይህን ከሰማንበት ቀን ጀምሮ እግዚአብሔር የፈቃዱን ዕውቀት በመንፈሳዊ ጥበብና መረዳት ሁሉ ይሞላችሁ ዘንድ ስለ እናንተ መጸለይና መለመን አላቋረጥንም፤ 10የምንጸልየውም ለጌታ እንደሚገባ እንድትኖሩና በሁሉም ደስ እንድታሰኙት ነው፤ ይኸውም በመልካም ሥራ ሁሉ ፍሬ እያፈራችሁ እግዚአብሔርን በማወቅ እያደጋችሁ፣ 11ታላቅ ጽናትና ትዕግሥት ይኖራችሁ ዘንድ፣ እንደ ክቡር ጒልበቱ መጠን በኀይል ሁሉ እየበረታችሁ፣ ደስ እየተሰኛችሁ፣ 12በቅዱሳን ርስት በብርሃን ተካፋዮች ለመሆን ያበቃንን1፥12 ወይም ያበቃችሁን አብን እንድታመሰግኑ ነው። 13እርሱ ከጨለማ አገዛዝ ታደገን፤ ወደሚወደው ልጁ መንግሥትም አሻገረን፤ 14በእርሱም መዋጀትን በደሙ1፥14 አንዳንድ ቅጆች በደሙ የሚለው ቃል የላቸውም አግኝተናል፤ ይህም የኀጢአት ይቅርታ ነው።
ክርስቶስ ከሁሉ በላይ
15እርሱ የማይታየው አምላክ አምሳል ነው፤ ከፍጥረት ሁሉ በፊት1፥15 ወይም በላይ በኵር ነው፤ 16ሁሉ ነገር በእርሱ ተፈጥሮአል፤ በሰማይና በምድር ያሉ፣ የሚታዩና የማይታዩ፣ ዙፋናት ቢሆኑ ወይም ኀይላት፣ ገዦች ቢሆኑ ወይም ባለ ሥልጣናት፣ ሁሉም ነገር በእርሱና ለእርሱ ተፈጥሮአል። 17እርሱ ከሁሉ በፊት ነው፤ ሁሉም ነገር በአንድ ላይ ተያይዞ የጸናው በእርሱ ነው። 18እርሱ አካሉ የሆነችው የቤተ ክርስቲያን ራስ ነው፤ በሁሉ ነገር የበላይነት ይኖረው ዘንድ እርሱ የመጀመሪያ፣ ከሙታን መካከልም በኵር ነው። 19እግዚአብሔርም ሙላቱ ሁሉ በእርሱ ይሆን ዘንድ ወዶአልና፤ 20በመስቀሉ ላይ በፈሰሰው ደሙ ሰላምን በማድረግ በምድርም ሆነ በሰማይ ያለውን ነገር ሁሉ በእርሱ በኩል ከራሱ ጋር አስታረቀ።
21ከክፉ ባሕርያችሁ የተነሣ1፥21 ወይም በክፉ ባሕርያችሁ እንደሚታየው ቀድሞ ከእግዚአብሔር የተለያችሁ በአሳባችሁም ጠላቶች ነበራችሁ። 22አሁን ግን ነውርና ነቀፋ የሌለባችሁ ቅዱሳን አድርጎ በእርሱ ፊት ሊያቀርባችሁ፣ በክርስቶስ ሥጋ በሞቱ በኩል አስታረቃችሁ፤ 23ይህም የሚሆነው በእምነታችሁ ተመሥርታችሁና ተደላድላችሁ በመቆም ከሰማችሁት የወንጌል ተስፋ ሳትናወጡ ጸንታችሁ ብትኖሩ ነው። እናንተ የሰማችሁትና ከሰማይ በታች ላለ ፍጥረት ሁሉ የተሰበከውም ወንጌል ይኸው ነው፤ እኔም ጳውሎስ ለዚህ ወንጌል አገልጋይ ሆንሁ።
ጳውሎስ ስለ ቤተ ክርስቲያን ያሳየው ትጋት
24ስለ እናንተ በተቀበልሁት መከራ አሁንም ደስ ይለኛል፤ ክርስቶስ ስለ አካሉ ስለ ቤተ ክርስቲያን ከተቀበለው መከራ የጐደለውን በሥጋዬ አሟላለሁ። 25የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል በሙላት እንዳቀርብላችሁ ከእግዚአብሔር በተሰጠኝ ዐደራ የቤተ ክርስቲያን አገልጋይ ሆኛለሁ፤ 26ይህም ቃል ከዘመናትና ከትውልዶች ተሰውሮ ምስጢር ሆኖ ቈይቶ ነበር፤ አሁን ግን ለቅዱሳኑ ተገልጦአል። 27ለእነርሱም እግዚአብሔር የዚህ ምስጢር ክብር ባለጠግነት በአሕዛብ መካከል ምን ያህል እንደሆነ ለማሳወቅ መረጠ፤ እርሱም የክብር ተስፋ የሆነው በእናንተ ውስጥ ያለው ክርስቶስ ነው።
28እኛም እያንዳንዱን ሰው በክርስቶስ ፍጹም አድርገን ማቅረብ እንችል ዘንድ፣ ሰውን ሁሉ በጥበብ ሁሉ እየመከርንና እያስተማርን እርሱን እንሰብካለን፤ 29እኔም በብርታት በውስጤ በሚሠራው በእርሱ ኀይል ሁሉ እየታገልሁ ለዚህ ዐላማ እጥራለሁ።

1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 17And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1-2提阿非罗大人,已经有很多人根据最初的目击者和传道者给我们的口述,把我们中间发生的事记载下来. 3我把一切事情从头至尾仔细查考之后,决定按次序写出来, 4使你知道自己所学的道都是有真凭实据的.
天使预告施洗者约翰出生
5犹太王希律执政期间,亚比雅的班里有位祭司名叫撒迦利亚,他妻子伊丽莎白是亚伦的后裔. 6夫妻二人遵行主的一切诫命和条例,无可指责,在上帝眼中是义人. 7但他们没有孩子,因为伊丽莎白不能生育,二人又年纪老迈.
8有一天,轮到撒迦利亚他们那一班祭司当值, 9他们按照祭司的规矩抽签,抽中撒迦利亚到主的殿里去烧香. 10众百姓都在外面祷告. 11那时,主的天使在香坛的右边向撒迦利亚显现, 12撒迦利亚见了,惊慌害怕起来.
13天使对他说:“撒迦利亚,不要害怕,你的祷告已蒙垂听.你的妻子伊丽莎白要为你生一个儿子,你要给他取名叫约翰. 14你必欢喜快乐,许多人也会因为他的诞生而欣喜雀跃, 15因为他将成为主伟大的仆人.他必滴酒不沾,并且在母腹里就被圣灵充满. 16他将劝导许多以色列人回心转意,归顺主——他们的上帝. 17他将以先知以利亚的心志和能力做主的先锋,使父亲的心转向儿女,使叛逆的人回转,顺从义人的智慧,为主预备合用的子民.”
18撒迦利亚对天使说:“我已经老了,我的妻子也上了年纪,我如何知道这是真的呢?” 19天使回答说:“我是侍立在上帝面前的加百列,奉命来向你报这喜讯. 20我说的这些话到时候必定应验.但因为你不肯相信我的话,所以这事成就以前,你将变成哑巴,不能说话.”
21人们在等候撒迦利亚,见他在圣殿里迟迟不出来,都感到奇怪. 22后来他出来了,却成了哑巴,不能说话,只能打手势,大家意识到他在圣殿里看见了异象. 23撒迦利亚供职期满,就回家去了. 24不久,伊丽莎白果然怀了孕,她有五个月闭门不出. 25她说:“主真是眷顾我,除掉了我不生育的羞耻.”
天使预告耶稣降生
26伊丽莎白怀孕六个月的时候,天使加百列又奉上帝的命令到加利利的拿撒勒, 27去见一位童贞女,她叫玛丽亚.玛丽亚已经和大卫的后裔约瑟订了婚.
28天使到了玛丽亚那里,说:“恭喜你,蒙大恩的女子,主与你同在!”
29玛丽亚听了觉得十分困惑,反复思想这话的意思.
30天使对她说:“玛丽亚,不要害怕,你在上帝面前已经蒙恩了. 31你要怀孕生子,并给祂取名叫耶稣. 32祂伟大无比,将被称为至高者的儿子,主上帝要把祂祖先大卫的王位赐给祂. 33祂要永远统治以色列1:33 “以色列”希腊文是“雅各的家”.,祂的国度永无穷尽.”
34玛丽亚对天使说:“这怎么可能呢?我还是童贞女.”
35天使回答说:“圣灵要临到你身上,至高者的能力要荫庇你,所以你要生的那圣婴必称为上帝的儿子. 36看啊,你的亲戚伊丽莎白年纪老迈,一向不能生育,现在已经怀男胎六个月了. 37因为上帝无所不能.”
38玛丽亚说:“我是主的婢女,愿你所说的话在我身上成就.”于是天使离开了她.
玛丽亚看望伊丽莎白
39不久,玛丽亚便动身赶到犹太山区的一座城, 40进了撒迦利亚的家,向伊丽莎白请安. 41伊丽莎白一听见玛丽亚的问安,腹中的胎儿便跳动起来,伊丽莎白被圣灵充满, 42高声喊着说:“在妇女中你是最蒙福的!你腹中的孩子也是蒙福的! 43我主的母亲来探望我,我怎么敢当呢? 44我一听到你问安的声音,腹中的孩子就欢喜跳动. 45相信主所说的话必实现的女子有福了!”
46玛丽亚说:
“我的心尊主为大,
47我的灵因我的救主上帝而欢喜,
48因祂眷顾我这卑微的婢女,
从今以后,
世世代代都要称我是有福的.
49全能者在我身上行了奇事,
祂的名是神圣的.
50祂怜悯敬畏祂的人,
直到世世代代.
51祂伸出臂膀,施展大能,
驱散心骄气傲的人.
52祂使当权者失势,
叫谦卑的人升高.
53祂使饥饿的得饱足,
叫富足的空手而去.
54祂扶助了自己的仆人以色列,
55祂要施怜悯给亚伯拉罕和他的子孙,
直到永远,
正如祂对我们祖先的应许.”
56玛丽亚和伊丽莎白同住了约三个月,便回家去了.
施洗者约翰出生
57伊丽莎白的产期到了,生下一个儿子. 58亲戚和邻居听见主向她大施怜悯,都和她一同欢乐. 59到了第八天,他们来给孩子行割礼,想照他父亲的名字给他取名叫撒迦利亚.
60但伊丽莎白说:“不!要叫他约翰.”
61他们说:“你们家族中没有人用这个名字啊!” 62他们便向他父亲打手势,问他要给孩子起什么名字. 63撒迦利亚就要了一块写字板,写上:“他的名字叫约翰.”大家看了都很惊奇. 64就在那时,撒迦利亚恢复了说话的能力,便开口赞美上帝. 65住在周围的人都很惧怕,这消息很快就传遍了整个犹太山区. 66听见的人都在想:“这孩子将来会怎样呢?因为主与他同在.”
撒迦利亚的预言
67孩子的父亲撒迦利亚被圣灵充满,便预言说:
68“主——以色列的上帝当受称颂,
因祂眷顾,救赎了自己的子民,
69在祂仆人大卫的家族中为我们兴起了一位大能的拯救者1:69 “拯救者”希腊文是“拯救的角”.,
70正如祂从亘古借着祂圣先知们的口所说的.
71祂要从仇敌和一切恨我们之人手中拯救我们.
72祂怜悯我们的祖先,
持守自己的圣约,
73就是祂对我们的先祖亚伯拉罕所起的誓,
74要把我们从仇敌手中拯救出来,
75使我们一生一世在圣洁和公义中坦然无惧地事奉祂.
76至于你,我的儿子啊!
你将要被称为至高者的先知,
因为你要走在主的前面,
为祂预备道路,
77使百姓因罪得赦免而明白救恩的真谛.
78由于上帝的怜悯,
清晨的曙光必从高天普照我们,
79照亮那些生活在黑暗中和死亡阴影下的人,
带领我们走平安的道路.”
80那孩子渐渐长大,心灵强健,在向以色列人公开露面之前,一直住在旷野.

1ここに書いてあるのは,ユダのベニヤミンの地のアナトテという町にいた祭司,ヒルキヤの子エレミヤに与えられた神のことばです. 2ユダ王国のアモンの子,ヨシヤ王の治世第十三年に最初のことばがありました. 3そののち,ヨシヤの子,エホヤキム王の時代,ヨシヤの子,ゼデキヤ王の治世第十一年の七月にエルサレムが陥落し,住民が捕囚として連れ去られるまで,数回にわたって神のことばがありました.
エレミヤの召命
4主は私に,こう語りました.
5「わたしは,母の胎内に宿る前から
おまえを知っていた.
生まれる前から,
わたしの聖なる者として取っておき,
国々にわたしのことばを伝える者に任命していた.」
6「神よ,とんでもないことです.
私にできるはずがありません.
若すぎて,何を語ればよいのかわかりません.
7「そんなことを言ってはならない.
わたしが送り出す所どこへでも行き,
命じることはすべて語るのだ.
8人を恐れてはいけない.
主であるわたしがついていて,
どんな時にも助けるのだから.」
9こう言ってから,神は私の口に触れました.
「わたしのことばをおまえの口に授けた.
10今日から,世界の国々に警告する仕事が始まる.
おまえの口から語られるわたしのことばどおりに,
ある国を引き倒し,滅ぼし,
ある国は起こし,育て,大国にする.」
11それから,主はこう尋ねられました.「エレミヤよ,何が見えるか.」「アーモンドの枝でできたむちです.」 12「そのとおりだ.それは,わたしが必ず恐ろしい罰を下すしるしだ.
13今度は何が見えるか.」「煮立っているなべが南の方に傾き,煮え湯がユダの上にこぼれていくのが見えます.」
14「そのとおりだ.
北からの恐怖が,全住民に降りかかる.
15わたしは北方の国々の軍隊に,
エルサレムを攻めさせる.
彼らは都の門と城壁沿いに,
またユダのほかの町々に,それぞれの王座を作る.
16こうして,わたしの民に罰を加える.
わたしを捨て,
自分の手で作った神々を拝んだからだ.
17さあ,身じたくを整えて出かけなさい.
わたしが伝えることをすべて語るのだ.
彼らを怖がるな.
恐れるなら,彼らの目の前でおまえを
もの笑いの種にする.
18わたしは今日,
おまえを彼らにはたち打ちできない者とした.
彼らはどうしても,
おまえに危害を加えることができない.
おまえは,難攻不落の町のように
がんじょうそのもので,
鉄の柱,青銅の重い門のように強い.
王たち,将校たち,祭司たちをはじめ,
この国の民は,おまえと戦っても,
とうてい勝ち目がない.
19攻撃をしかけても,途中であきらめる.
わたしがおまえと共にいて,必ず救い出すからだ.」
