Money you borrowed from your retirement account has to be paid back to the account---so no, you are not taxed on it unless you do NOT pay it back. If you do not re-pay it, then it becomes a distribution, and you will owe tax on the money you took out of the retirement account. Paying debts is no exception to that.
