アルマ6,,アルマ書  第6章
THE BOOK OF ALMA THE SON OF ALMA CHAPTER 6

アルマ6,*-*,ゼラヘムラ市に始まった改革運動、ギデオン市に及ぶ。
The Church in Zarahemla is cleansed and set in order—Alma goes to Gideon to preach. About 83 B.C.

アルマ6,1,アルマはゼラヘムラ市に立てられた教会の会員に話し終ってから、教会を司どってこれを守護するため、神権に定まっている式法に従い按手礼を施して祭司や長老たちを聖任した。
1 And now it came to pass that after Alma had made an end of speaking unto the people of the church, which was established in the city of Zarahemla, he aordained priests and belders, by laying on his chands according to the order of God, to preside and dwatch over the church.

アルマ6,2,また教会に入っていなかった人々の中でその罪を悔い改めた人々の中でその悔い改めた人たちは、すでに悔い改めをした証拠にバプテスマを受けて教会に入れられた。
2 And it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church who arepented of their sins were baptized unto repentance, and were received into the church.

アルマ6,3,また教会員の中で自分の罪悪を悔い改めず神の御前にへりくだらない者、すなわち高慢の心がつのっている者はみな除かれてその名を義人の名の中から削りとられた。
3 And it also came to pass that whosoever did belong to the church that did not arepent of their wickedness and humble themselves before God—I mean those who were lifted up in the bpride of their hearts—the same were rejected, and their names were cblotted out, that their names were not numbered among those of the righteous.

アルマ6,4,このようにしてゼラヘムラ市の教会の神権の規定を確立し始めた。
4 And thus they began to establish the order of the church in the acity of Zarahemla.

アルマ6,5,私は、神の教えが誰にも惜しまずに与えられ、神の教えを集って聞く特権が、誰からも奪われなかったことを皆にわからせたい。
5 Now I would that ye should understand that the word of God was liberal unto all, that none were deprived of the privilege of assembling themselves together to hear the word of God.

アルマ6,6,しかし神の子らは、まだ神を知らない者の身も霊ものためにたびたび集合し、一しょに断食して一心に祈るように命ぜられた。
6 Nevertheless the children of God were commanded that they should gather themselves together oft, and join in afasting and mighty prayer in behalf of the welfare of the souls of those who knew not God.

アルマ6,7,アルマはこのように規定を定め終ってから、ゼラヘムラ市の教会に別れサイドン川の東にあるギデオンの谷へ赴いたが、ニーホルに剣で殺された人の名をとってギデオンと名づけたこの谷の中にギデオンと言う市があった。
7 And now it came to pass that when Alma had made these regulations he departed from them, yea, from the church which was in the city of Zarahemla, and went over upon the east of the ariver Sidon, into the bvalley of Gideon, there having been a city built, which was called the city of Gideon, which was in the valley that was called Gideon, being called after the man who was cslain by the hand of Nehor with the sword.

アルマ6,8,アルマはこの市へ行って自分の先祖が告げたことが真実であることを示す啓示と、自分の中にある予言の”みたま”と、その民を贖うために降臨したもうはずである御子イエス・キリストにかかわる証詞と、自分が聖任された神権とによってギデオンの谷に立てられた教会に神の道を宣べ伝えた。ここに記すところは以上の通りである。アーメン。
8 And Alma went and began to declare the word of God unto the church which was established in the valley of Gideon, according to the revelation of the truth of the word which had been spoken by his fathers, and according to the spirit of prophecy which was in him, according to the atestimony of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who should come to redeem his people from their sins, and the holy order by which he was called. And thus it is written. Amen.
