ヨハネの黙示録 1
1 これイエス・キリストの默示なり。即ち、かならず速かに起るべき事を、その僕どもに顯させんとて、神の彼に與へしものなるを、彼その使を僕ヨハネに遣して示し給へるなり。
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John;
2 ヨハネは神の言とイエス・キリストの證とに就きて、その見しところを悉とく證せり。
he has offered testimony to the Word of God, and whatever he saw is the testimony of Jesus Christ.
3 此の預言の言を讀む者と之を聽きて其の中に録されたることを守る者どもとは幸福なり、時 近ければなり。
Blessed is he who reads or hears the words of this Prophecy, and who keeps the things that have been written in it. For the time is near.
4 ヨハネ書をアジヤに在る七つの教會に贈る。願はくは今 在し、昔 在し、後 來りたまふ者、および其の御座の前にある七つの靈、
John, to the seven Churches, which are in Asia. Grace and peace to you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are in the sight of his throne,
5 また忠實なる證人、死人の中より最先に生れ給ひしもの、地の諸 王の君なるイエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。願はくは我らを愛し、その血をもて我らを罪より解放ち、
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the leader over the kings of the earth, who has loved us and has washed us from our sins with his blood,
and who has made us into a kingdom and into priests for God and for his Father. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 視よ、彼は雲の中にありて來りたまふ、諸衆の目、殊に彼を刺したる者これを見ん、かつ地上の諸族みな彼の故に歎かん、然り、アァメン。
Behold, he arrives with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall lament for themselves over him. Even so. Amen.
8 今いまし、昔いまし、後きたり給ふ主なる全能の神いひ給ふ『我はアルパなり、オメガなり』
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 汝らの兄弟にして汝らと共にイエスの艱難と國と忍耐とに與る我ヨハネ、神の言とイエスの證との爲にパトモスといふ島に在りき。
I, John, your brother, and a sharer in the tribulation and in the kingdom and in patient endurance for Christ Jesus, was on the island which is called Patmos, because of the Word of God and the testimony to Jesus.
10 われ主日に御靈に感じゐたるに、我が後にラッパのごとき大なる聲を聞けり。
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, like that of a trumpet,
11 曰く『なんぢの見る所のことを書に録して、エペソ、スミルナ、ペルガモ、テアテラ、サルデス、ヒラデルヒヤ、ラオデキヤに在る七つの教會に贈れ』
saying, “What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven Churches, which are in Asia: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 われ振反りて我に語る聲を見んとし、振反り見れば七つの金の燈臺あり。
And I turned around, so as to see the voice which was speaking with me. And having turned around, I saw seven golden lampstands.
13 また燈臺の間に人の子のごとき者ありて、足まで垂るる衣を著、胸に金の帶を束ね、
And in the midst of the seven golden lampstands was one resembling the Son of man, clothed to the feet with a vestment, and wrapped to the breast with a wide belt of gold.
14 その頭と頭髮とは白き毛のごとく雪のごとく白く、その目は焔のごとく、
But his head and hair were bright, like white wool, or like snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire;
15 その足は爐にて燒きたる輝ける眞鍮のごとく、その聲は衆の水の聲のごとし。
and his feet resembled shining brass, just as in a burning furnace; and his voice was like the voice of many waters.
16 その右の手に七つの星を持ち、その口より兩刃の利き劍いで、その顏は烈しく照る日のごとし。
And in his right hand, he held the seven stars; and from his mouth went out a sharp two-edged sword; and his face was like the sun, shining with all its might.
17 我これを見しとき其の足下に倒れて死にたる者の如くなれり。彼その右の手を我に按きて言ひたまふ『懼るな、我は最先なり、最後なり、
And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet, like one who is dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.
19 されば汝が見しことと今あることと、後に成らんとする事とを録せ、
Therefore, write the things which you have seen, and which are, and which must occur afterward:
20 即ち汝が見しところの我が右の手にある七つの星と七つの金の燈臺との奧義なり。七つの星は七つの教會の使にして、七つの燈臺は七つの教會なり。
the mystery of the seven stars, which you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the Angels of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches.”
