雅歌 1-4
Japanese Living Bible
1 ソロモン王が作ったこの歌は、ほかのどんな歌よりすばらしいものです。
おとめ
「 2 もっともっと口づけしてください。
あなたの愛はぶどう酒より甘く、
3 あなたの香油は、なんとすてきな香りでしょう。
名前もとても魅力的です。
若い娘たちが夢中になるのもむりはありません。
4 私を連れて行ってください。
さあ、走って行きましょう。」
おとめ
「王は私を、宮殿に連れて行ってくれました。
私たちは幸せでいっぱいです。
あなたの愛はぶどう酒にもまさります。
若い娘たちが夢中になるのも当然です。」
おとめ
「 5 エルサレムの娘さん、
私はケダルの天幕（荒野のアラビヤ人が住む黒いテント）
のように、日焼けして黒いのです。
でも、きれいでしょう。」
ソロモン王
「いや、あなたは私の絹の天幕のように愛らしい。」
おとめ
「 6 町の娘さん、そんなに見つめないでください。
私の肌はとても黒いのです。
兄にしかられ、
強い日照りのぶどう園の番をさせられたので、
すっかり日焼けしてしまったのです。」
おとめ
「 7 私の愛する方、どうか教えてください。
今日は、羊の群れをどこへ連れて行くのですか。
お昼には、どこにいらっしゃるのですか。
私は、あなたの仲間に混じって
流れ者のようにうろつきたくありません。
いつもおそばにいたいのです。」
ソロモン王
「 8 世界で一番美しい女よ、
それなら、群れのあとについて行って
羊飼いのテントを探しあて、
そこで、あなたの羊と子羊の世話をしなさい。
9 愛する人よ。
あなたはかわいい子馬のようだ。
10 頬にかかる髪の毛が、とてもすてきだ。
宝石をちりばめた首飾りをつけた首には
気品が漂っている。
11 あなたのために、
金のイヤリングと銀の首飾りを作ってあげよう。」
おとめ
「 12 ベッドに横になった王は、
私のつけている香水の香りにうっとりしています。
13 私の愛するお方は、
私の乳房の間にある、没薬の匂い袋のようです。」
ソロモン王
「 14 私の愛する人は、エン・ゲディ（死海西岸のオアシス）
の植物園にある花束のようだ。
15 愛する人よ。あなたはなんと美しいのだろう。
どう言ったらいいかわからないほどだ。
目は鳩のように優しく、
16 草の上に身を横たえる姿は、
なんと美しく、麗しいのだろう。
17 その上に、杉や糸杉が影を落としている。」
おとめ
「 2 1 私はシャロンのサフラン、谷間のゆりです。」
ソロモン王
「 2 そう、ゆりのようだ。
私の愛する人とほかの娘たちを比べたら、
いばらと、その中に咲くゆりの花ほども違う。」
おとめ
「 3 私の恋人は、ほかの男の方と比べたら、
果樹園の中で最上のりんごの木のようです。
私は慕わしい方の陰に座りましたが、
その実は口の中でとろけそうです。
4 あの方は私を宴会の広間に連れて行きますが、
そこでだれもが、
あの方がどんなに私を愛しているかを見るのです。
5 干しぶどうの菓子で、りんごで力づけてください。
そうです、あなたの愛で私を元気づけてください。
私は恋わずらいをしているのです。
6 あの方は、左手を私の頭の下にあて、
右手でしっかり抱いてくださいます。
7 エルサレムの娘さん、あなたがたに、
かもしかや野の鹿を指して誓ってほしいのです。
どうか、私の恋人を起こさないでください。
十分に寝かせてあげてください。」
おとめ
「 8 ああ、愛する方の声が聞こえます。
あの方は、山々を跳び越え、
丘々を跳ねるようにしておいでになります。
9 まるでかもしかか若い雄鹿のように。
ごらんになってください。
あの方は壁のうしろにいます。
今度は、窓からのぞいています。
10 あの方はおっしゃいました。
『愛する人、いとしい人よ。さあ起きて、出ておいで。
11 冬は過ぎ、雨もすっかり上がった。
12 花が咲き、小鳥の歌う季節になった。
そう、もう春なのだ。
13 若葉がもえいで、ぶどうの木は花ざかりだ。
たまらないほどいい香りを放っている。
愛する人、いとしい人よ、さあ、起きて、出ておいで。』
14 崖の岩のうしろに隠れている私の鳩よ、
私を呼んで、美しい声を聞かせてください。
りりしいお顔を見せてください。
15 小ぎつねがぶどう園を荒らし回っています。
捕まえてください。
ぶどうの木は花ざかりなのですから。
16 私の愛する方は私のもの、私はあの方のもの。
あの方は、ゆりの花の間で羊の群れを飼っています。
17 ああ、お慕いしてやまない方、
夜が明け、影が消える前に、
私のところへ来てください。
帰って来て、険しい山の上のかもしかや、
若い雄鹿のようになってください。」
おとめ
「 3 1 ある夜のこと、恋人は私のベッドから
姿を消してしまいました。
私は起きて捜しましたが、見当たりません。
2 通りへ出て夢中で捜しましたが、
どこにもいないのです。
3 途中、警備の人に呼び止められたので、
『どこかで、私が心から愛している方を
見かけませんでしたか』と尋ねてみました。
4 それからほんの少しして、あの方は見つかりました。
私はうれしくて、あの方をしっかりつかまえ、
実家へお連れして、母の古い寝室へ案内しました。
5 エルサレムの娘さん、
あなたがたに、かもしかや野の鹿を指して
誓ってもらいたいのです。
私の恋人を起こさないでください。
十分に寝かせてあげてください。」
エルサレムの若い娘たち
「 6 没薬や香料、そのほか手に入る限りの
香りのあるものを漂わせながら、
煙のように荒野から上って来る人はだれでしょう。
7 ごらんなさい。
あれは六十人のえりぬきの勇士に守られた、
ソロモン王のみこしです。
8 みな腕の立つ兵士で、
経験を積んだ護衛の者たちです。
めいめい、夜襲に備えて王を守るため、
腰に剣を下げています。
9 みこしは、王がレバノンの木で
特別にあつらえたものです。
10 その支柱は銀、天蓋は金、
座席は紫のカバーがかかっています。
背当てには、『エルサレムの娘たちから愛を込めて』
という文字がちりばめてあります。」
おとめ
「 11 シオン（エルサレム）の娘さん、
さあ、ソロモン王を見に出かけなさい。
王の喜びの結婚式の日に、
母上がじきじきにかぶせたという冠を
見てごらんなさい。」
ソロモン王
「 4 1 愛する人よ。あなたはなんと美しいのだろう。
私は全く心を奪われてしまっている。
その鳩のような目がきれいだ。
あなたの顔にかかる髪は、
ギルアデの山腹を跳ね回るやぎの群れのようだ。
2 あなたの歯は、
毛を刈って体を洗ってもらったばかりの
羊の群れのように真っ白で、きれいな歯ならびだ。
3 くちびるは赤い糸のようで、
かわいらしい口もとが魅力的だ。
巻き毛のかかる頬は愛らしく、ふくよかだ。
4 首は、千人の英雄の盾で飾られた
ダビデのやぐらのようにしっかりしている。
5 二つの乳房は、ゆりの間で草を食べている
ふたごの子鹿のようだ。
6 夜が明け、影が消えるまでに、
私は没薬の山、香料の丘に行っていよう。
7 愛する人よ。あなたのすべてが美しい。
あなたには何の汚れもない。
8 花嫁よ、私といっしょにレバノンから来なさい。
山の頂上から、ヘルモン山の頂から見下ろしてみよう。
そこにはライオンのほら穴があり、
ひょうがうろついている。
9 美しい花嫁よ。あなたは私をとりこにしてしまった。
あなたのただ一度のまなざしと、
首飾りのただ一つの宝石で、
私はすっかり心を奪われてしまった。
10 いとしい花嫁よ。あなたの愛はなんと甘いことか。
ぶどう酒も比べものにならない。
あなたの愛の香水は、
最高の香料よりかぐわしい香りを放っている。
11 いとしい人よ。
あなたのくちびるは、はちみつでできている。
舌の裏にはみつとクリームがある。
あなたの服は山やレバノン杉の香りがする。
12 私のいとしい花嫁は、ほかの人の入れない庭園、
私だけの泉だ。
13-14 あなたはまるで最高の実の取れる、
すばらしい果樹園のようだ。
そこでは、ナルド、サフラン、しょうぶ、
シナモン、没薬、アロエをはじめ、
さまざまな最上の香料が取れる。
15 あなたは庭園の泉、湧き水の井戸で、
レバノンの山々から流れ落ちる冷たい水のように、
私をさわやかな気分にしてくれる。」
おとめ
「 16 北風よ、さあ吹いておくれ。
南風よ、私の庭に吹いて、
愛する方のもとに香りを届けておくれ。
あの方がご自分の庭に来て、
最上の実を召し上がるように。」
ソロモン王

Song of Songs 1-4

Song of Songs 1-4
New International Version
1 Solomon’s Song of Songs.(A)
She[a]
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
for your love(B) is more delightful than wine.(C)
3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;(D)
your name(E) is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the young women(F) love you!
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.(G)
Friends
She
How right they are to adore you!
5 Dark am I, yet lovely,(J)
daughters of Jerusalem,(K)
dark like the tents of Kedar,(L)
like the tent curtains of Solomon.[c]
6 Do not stare at me because I am dark,
because I am darkened by the sun.
My mother’s sons were angry with me
and made me take care of the vineyards;(M)
my own vineyard I had to neglect.
7 Tell me, you whom I love,
where you graze your flock
and where you rest your sheep(N) at midday.
Why should I be like a veiled(O) woman
beside the flocks of your friends?
Friends
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,(P)
follow the tracks of the sheep
and graze your young goats
by the tents of the shepherds.
He
9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare
among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.(Q)
10 Your cheeks(R) are beautiful with earrings,
your neck with strings of jewels.(S)
11 We will make you earrings of gold,
studded with silver.
She
12 While the king was at his table,
my perfume spread its fragrance.(T)
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh(U)
resting between my breasts.
14 My beloved(V) is to me a cluster of henna(W) blossoms
from the vineyards of En Gedi.(X)
He
She
16 How handsome you are, my beloved!(AA)
Oh, how charming!
And our bed is verdant.
He
17 The beams of our house are cedars;(AB)
our rafters are firs.
She[d]
He
2 Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among the young women.
She
3 Like an apple[f] tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved(AF) among the young men.
I delight(AG) to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.(AH)
4 Let him lead me to the banquet hall,(AI)
and let his banner(AJ) over me be love.
5 Strengthen me with raisins,
refresh me with apples,(AK)
for I am faint with love.(AL)
6 His left arm is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.(AM)
7 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(AN)
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(AO)
8 Listen! My beloved!
Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
bounding over the hills.(AP)
9 My beloved is like a gazelle(AQ) or a young stag.(AR)
Look! There he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice.
10 My beloved spoke and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me.
11 See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
12 Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree forms its early fruit;(AS)
the blossoming(AT) vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.”
He
14 My dove(AU) in the clefts of the rock,
in the hiding places on the mountainside,
show me your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is lovely.(AV)
15 Catch for us the foxes,(AW)
the little foxes
that ruin the vineyards,(AX)
our vineyards that are in bloom.(AY)
She
16 My beloved is mine and I am his;(AZ)
he browses among the lilies.(BA)
17 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,(BB)
turn, my beloved,(BC)
and be like a gazelle
or like a young stag(BD)
on the rugged hills.[g](BE)
3 All night long on my bed
I looked(BF) for the one my heart loves;
I looked for him but did not find him.
2 I will get up now and go about the city,
through its streets and squares;
I will search for the one my heart loves.
So I looked for him but did not find him.
3 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.(BG)
“Have you seen the one my heart loves?”
4 Scarcely had I passed them
when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
till I had brought him to my mother’s house,(BH)
to the room of the one who conceived me.(BI)
5 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(BJ)
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(BK)
6 Who is this coming up from the wilderness(BL)
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh(BM) and incense
made from all the spices(BN) of the merchant?
7 Look! It is Solomon’s carriage,
escorted by sixty warriors,(BO)
the noblest of Israel,
8 all of them wearing the sword,
all experienced in battle,
each with his sword at his side,
prepared for the terrors of the night.(BP)
9 King Solomon made for himself the carriage;
he made it of wood from Lebanon.
10 Its posts he made of silver,
its base of gold.
Its seat was upholstered with purple,
its interior inlaid with love.
Daughters of Jerusalem, 11 come out,
and look, you daughters of Zion.(BQ)
Look[h] on King Solomon wearing a crown,
the crown with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
the day his heart rejoiced.(BR)
He
4 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil(BS) are doves.(BT)
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from the hills of Gilead.(BU)
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.(BV)
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth(BW) is lovely.(BX)
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.(BY)
4 Your neck is like the tower(BZ) of David,
built with courses of stone[i];
on it hang a thousand shields,(CA)
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts(CB) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle(CC)
that browse among the lilies.(CD)
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,(CE)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(CF)
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful,(CG) my darling;
there is no flaw(CH) in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,(CI)
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir,(CJ) the summit of Hermon,(CK)
from the lions’ dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;(CL)
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.(CM)
10 How delightful(CN) is your love(CO), my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,(CP)
and the fragrance of your perfume(CQ)
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.(CR)
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.(CS)
12 You are a garden(CT) locked up, my sister, my bride;(CU)
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.(CV)
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates(CW)
with choice fruits,
with henna(CX) and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,(CY)
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh(CZ) and aloes(DA)
and all the finest spices.(DB)
15 You are[j] a garden(DC) fountain,(DD)
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.

Song of Solomon 1-4
King James Version
Song of Solomon 1-4
King James Version
1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
2 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.
17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
3 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
6 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
7 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
8 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
4 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
11 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

Japanese Living Bible
エペソ人への手紙 6
Japanese Living Bible
6 子どもは両親に従いなさい。神は、親が子どもを監督する権威を認めておられるのです。従うのは正しいことです。 2 「あなたの父と母とを敬え。」これは、「十戒」の中で対人関係について言われた第一の戒めで、その後に約束があります。 3 つまり、「父母を敬うなら、あなたは幸せになり、長生きする」（出エジプト20・12）という約束です。 4 両親にもひとこと言っておきます。子どもを、いつもうるさくしかりつけて反抗心を起こさせたり、恨みをいだかせたりしてはいけません。かえって、主がお認めになる教育と、愛のこもった助言や忠告によって育てなさい。
5 奴隷は主人に従い、最善を尽くしなさい。キリストに仕えるのと同じようにしなさい。 6-7 主人の目の前でだけ一生懸命に働き、陰では怠けるようではいけません。神が望まれることを、心を尽くして行い、キリストのために働くように、いつも熱心に喜んで働きなさい。 8 あなたがたが奴隷であろうと自由人であろうと、良い行いには、一つ一つ主が報いてくださることを忘れないように。 9 主人も、いま私が奴隷たちに勧めたのと同じ態度で、奴隷を正しく扱いなさい。脅すばかりではいけません。自分もキリストの奴隷であることを忘れないように。あなたがたの主も、奴隷の主も同じお方なのです。主は人を差別したりはなさいません。
神の武具で身をかためる
10 最後に、覚えておいてほしいことがあります。あなたがたは、自分のうちにある主の全能の力によって強められるようにしてください。 11 悪魔のどんな策略にも立ち向かえるように、神のすべての武具で身をかためなさい。 12 戦う相手は、血肉を持った人間ではなく、肉体のない者たちです。すなわち、目に見えない世界の支配者たち、この世を支配する暗闇の大王たち、それに、天にいる無数の悪霊です。
13 ですから、いつどんな攻撃にも対抗できるように、神のすべての武具を用いなさい。そうすれば、すべてが終わった時も、なおしっかり立てるでしょう。 14 しかし、そのためには、腰に真理の帯をしめ、神の承認という胸当てをつけなければなりません。 15 次に、平和の福音を伝えるために直ちに出発できる、丈夫なくつをはきなさい。 16 どんな戦いにも、守りの盾として必要なのは信仰です。これがあれば、サタンが射かけてくる火矢を消し止めることができます。 17 また、救いのかぶとをかぶり、御霊の下さる剣である神のことばを手にしなさい。
18 どんな時にも祈りなさい。どんなことでも、聖霊の考えにそって神にひたすら願い求めなさい。各地に散っているすべてのクリスチャンのために、熱心に祈り続けなさい。 19 また、私のためにも祈ってください。主のことを大胆に告げる時に、また、主の救いは外国人にも及ぶと説明する時に、適切なことばが与えられるよう祈ってください。 20 私は今、神に託されたこの福音を伝えたために鎖につながれています。しかし、この牢獄の中でも、語るべきことを、主のために大胆に絶えず語れるよう祈ってください。
21 心から愛する信仰の友、主の仕事のための忠実な協力者テキコが、あなたがたに私の近況を残らず知らせてくれるでしょう。 22 テキコをそちらへ送るのは、私たちの様子を知ってもらい、それを励みにしてほしいからです。
23 どうか、クリスチャンの皆さんに、父なる神と主イエス・キリストからくる、信仰による平安と愛とが注がれますように。 24 どうか、神の恵みと祝福が、主イエス・キリストを心から愛する、すべての人にありますように。

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.(A) 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”[a](B)
4 Fathers,[b] do not exasperate your children;(C) instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.(D)
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect(E) and fear, and with sincerity of heart,(F) just as you would obey Christ.(G) 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ,(H) doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,(I) 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do,(J) whether they are slave or free.
9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours(K) is in heaven, and there is no favoritism(L) with him.
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord(M) and in his mighty power.(N) 11 Put on the full armor of God,(O) so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,(P) but against the rulers, against the authorities,(Q) against the powers(R) of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.(S) 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God,(T) so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,(U) with the breastplate of righteousness in place,(V) 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.(W) 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,(X) with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.(Y) 17 Take the helmet of salvation(Z) and the sword of the Spirit,(AA) which is the word of God.(AB)
18 And pray in the Spirit(AC) on all occasions(AD) with all kinds of prayers and requests.(AE) With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying(AF) for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me,(AG) that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly(AH) make known the mystery(AI) of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador(AJ) in chains.(AK) Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Final Greetings

Ephesians 6
King James Version
Ephesians 6
King James Version
6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
