ヨハネの手紙第一 2
1 わが若子よ、これらの事を書き贈るは、汝らが罪を犯さざらん爲なり。人もし罪を犯さば、我等のために父の前に助主あり、即ち義なるイエス・キリストなり。
My little sons, this I write to you, so that you may not sin. But if anyone has sinned, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Just One.
2 彼は我らの罪のために宥の供物たり、啻に我らの爲のみならず、また全世界の爲なり。
And he is the propitiation for our sins. And not only for our sins, but also for those of the whole world.
3 我らその誡命を守らば、之によりて彼を知ることを自ら悟る。
And we can be sure that we have known him by this: if we observe his commandments.
4 『われ彼を知る』と言ひて其の誡命を守らぬ者は僞 者にして眞理その衷になし。
Whoever claims that he knows him, and yet does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 その御言を守る者は誠に神の愛、その衷に全うせらる。之によりて我ら彼に在ることを悟る。
But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him.
6 彼に居ると言ふ者は、彼の歩み給ひしごとく自ら歩むべきなり。
Whoever declares himself to remain in him, ought to walk just as he himself walked.
7 愛する者よ、わが汝らに書き贈るは、新しき誡命にあらず、汝らが初より有てる舊き誡命なり。この舊き誡命は汝らが聞きし所の言なり。
Most beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but the old commandment, which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the Word, which you have heard.
8 然れど我が汝らに書き贈るところは、また新しき誡命にして、主にも汝らにも眞なり、その故は眞の光すでに照りて、暗黒はややに過ぎ去ればなり。
Then too, I am writing to you a new commandment, which is the Truth in him and in you. For the darkness has passed away, and the true Light is now shining.
9 光に在りと言ひて其の兄弟を憎むものは、今もなほ暗黒にあるなり。
Whoever declares himself to be in the light, and yet hates his brother, is in the darkness even now.
10 その兄弟を愛する者は、光に居りて顛躓その衷になし。
Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause of offense in him.
11 その兄弟を憎む者は暗黒にあり、暗きうちを歩みて己が往くところを知らず、これ暗黒はその眼を矇したればなり。
But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness, and in darkness he walks, and he does not know where he is going. For the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 若子よ、我この書を汝らに贈るは、なんぢら主の御名によりて罪を赦されたるに因る。
I am writing to you, little sons, because your sins are forgiven for the sake of his name.
13 父たちよ、我この書を汝らに贈るは、汝ら太初より在す者を知りたるに因る。若き者よ、我この書を汝らに贈るは、なんぢら惡しき者に勝ちたるに因る。子供よ、我この書を汝らに贈りたるは、汝ら御父を知りたるに因る。
I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, adolescents, because you have overcome the evil one.
14 父たちよ、我この書を汝らに贈りたるは、汝ら太初より在す者を知りたるに因る。若き者よ、我この書を汝らに贈りたるは、汝ら強くかつ神の言その衷に留り、また惡しき者に勝ちたるに因る。
I am writing to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I am writing to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 なんぢら世をも世にある物をも愛すな。人もし世を愛せば、御父を愛する愛その衷になし。
Do not choose to love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
16 おほよそ世にあるもの、即ち肉の慾、眼の慾、所有の誇などは、御父より出づるにあらず、世より出づるなり。
For all that is in the world is the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the arrogance of a life which is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world is passing away, with its desire. But whoever does the will of God abides unto eternity. (aiōn g165)
18 子供よ、今は末の時なり、汝らが非キリスト來らんと聞きしごとく、今や非キリスト多く起れり、之によりて我等その末の時なるを知る。
Little sons, it is the last hour. And, as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have arrived. By this, we know that it is the last hour.
19 彼らは我等より出でゆきたれど、固より我等のものに非ざりき。我らの屬ならば、我らと共に留りしならん。されどその出でゆきしは、皆われらの屬ならぬことの顯れん爲なり。
They went out from among us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, certainly they would have remained with us. But in this way, it is made manifest that none of them are of us.
20 汝らは聖なる者より油を注がれたれば、凡ての事を知る。
Yet you have the anointing of the Holy One, and you know everything.
21 我この書を汝らに贈るは、汝ら眞理を知らぬ故にあらず、眞理を知り、かつ凡ての虚僞の眞理より出でぬことを知るに因る。
I have not written to you as to ones who are ignorant of the truth, but as to ones who know the truth. For no lie is of the truth.
22 僞 者は誰なるか、イエスのキリストなるを否む者にあらずや。御父と御子とを否む者は非キリストなり。
Who is a liar, other than he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 凡そ御子を否む者は御父をも有たず、御子を言ひあらはす者は御父をも有つなり。
No one who denies the Son also has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son, also has the Father.
24 初より聞きし所を汝らの衷に居らしめよ。初より聞きしところ汝らの衷に居らば、汝らも御子と御父とに居らん。
As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, then you, too, shall abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the Promise, which he himself has promised to us: Eternal Life. (aiōnios g166)
26 汝らを惑す者どもに就きて我これらの事を書き贈る。
I have written these things to you, because of those who would seduce you.
27 なんぢらの衷には、主より注がれたる油とどまる故に、人の汝らに物を教ふる要なし。此の油は汝らに凡ての事を教へ、かつ眞にして虚僞なし、汝 等はその教へしごとく主に居るなり。
But as for you, let the Anointing that you have received from him abide in you. And so, you have no need of anyone to teach you. For his Anointing teaches you about everything, and it is the truth, and it is not a lie. And just as his Anointing has taught you, abide in him.
28 されば若子よ、主に居れ。これ主の現れ給ふときに臆することなく、其の來り給ふときに恥づることなからん爲なり。
And now, little sons, abide in him, so that when he appears, we may have faith, and we may not be confounded by him at his advent.
29 なんぢら主を正しと知らば、凡て正義をおこなふ者の主より生れたることを知らん。
If you know that he is just, then know, too, that all who do what is just are born of him.
