ヨハネの黙示録 21
1 我また新しき天と新しき地とを見たり。これ前の天と前の地とは過ぎ去り、海も亦なきなり。
I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 我また聖なる都、新しきエルサレムの、夫のために飾りたる新婦のごとく準備して、神の許をいで、天より降るを見たり。
And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 また大なる聲の御座より出づるを聞けり。曰く『視よ、神の幕屋、人と偕にあり、神、人と偕に住み、人、神の民となり、神みづから人と偕に在して、
And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them.
4 かれらの目の涙をことごとく拭ひ去り給はん。今よりのち死もなく、悲歎も號叫も苦痛もなかるべし。前のもの既に過ぎ去りたればなり』
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.”
5 かくて御座に坐し給ふもの言ひたまふ『視よ、われ一切のものを新にするなり』また言ひたまふ『書き記せ、これらの言は信ずべきなり、眞なり』
And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true.”
6 また我に言ひたまふ『事すでに成れり、我はアルパなり、オメガなり、始なり、終なり、渇く者には價なくして生命の水の泉より飮むことを許さん。
And he said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life.
7 勝を得る者は此 等のものを嗣がん、我はその神となり、彼は我が子とならん。
Whoever prevails shall possess these things. And I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
9 最後の七つの苦難の滿ちたる七つの鉢を持てる七人の御使の一人きたり、我に語りて言ふ『來れ、われ羔羊の妻なる新婦を汝に見せん』
And one of the seven Angels, those holding the bowls filled with the seven last afflictions, approached and spoke with me, saying: “Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 御使、御靈に感じたる我を携へて大なる高き山にゆき、聖なる都エルサレムの、神の榮光をもて神の許を出でて天より降るを見せたり。
And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain. And he showed me the Holy City Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 その都の光輝はいと貴き玉のごとく、透徹る碧玉のごとし。
having the glory of God. And its light was like that of a precious stone, even like that of the jasper stone or like crystal.
12 此處に大なる高き石垣ありて十二の門あり、門の側らに一人づつ十二の御使あり、門の上に一つづつイスラエルの子孫の十二の族の名を記せり。
And it had a wall, great and high, having twelve gates. And at the gates were twelve Angels. And names were written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 東に三つの門、北に三つの門、南に三つの門、西に三つの門あり。
On the East were three gates, and on the North were three gates, and on the South were three gates, and on the West were three gates.
14 都の石垣には十二の基あり、これに羔羊の十二の使徒の十二の名を記せり。
And the wall of the City had twelve foundations. And upon them were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 我と語る者は都と門と石垣とを測らん爲に金の間竿を持てり。
And he who was speaking with me was holding a golden measuring reed, in order to measure the City, and its gates and wall.
16 都は方形にして、その長さ廣さ相 均し。彼は間竿にて都を測りしに一千 二百 町あり、長さ廣さ高さみな相 均し。
And the city is laid out as a square, and so its length is as great as the width. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand stadia, and its length and height and breadth were equal.
17 また石垣を測りしに、人の度すなはち御使の度に據れば百 四十 四 尺あり。
And he measured its wall as one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an Angel.
18 石垣は碧玉にて築き、都は清らかなる玻璃のごとき純金にて造れり。
And the structure of its wall was of jasper stone. Yet truly, the city itself was of pure gold, similar to pure glass.
19 都の石垣の基はさまざまの寶石にて飾れり。第一の基は碧玉、第二は瑠璃、第三は玉髓、第四は緑玉、
And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was of jasper, the second was of sapphire, the third was of chalcedony, the fourth was of emerald,
20 第五は紅縞 瑪瑙、第六は赤瑪瑙、第七は貴橄欖石、第八は緑柱石、第九は黄玉石、第十は緑玉髓、第十 一は青玉、第十二は紫 水晶なり。
the fifth was of sardonyx, the sixth was of sardius, the seventh was of chrysolite, the eighth was of beryl, the ninth was of topaz, the tenth was of chrysoprasus, the eleventh was of jacinth, the twelfth was of amethyst.
21 十二の門は十二の眞珠なり、おのおのの門は一つの眞珠より成り、都の大路は透徹る玻璃のごとき純金なり。
And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one for each, so that each gate was made from a single pearl. And the main street of the city was of pure gold, similar to transparent glass.
22 われ都の内にて宮を見ざりき、主なる全能の神および羔羊はその宮なり。
And I saw no temple in it. For the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
23 都は日月の照すを要せず、神の榮光これを照し、羔羊はその燈火なり。
And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it. For the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 諸國の民は都の光のなかを歩み、地の王たちは己が光榮を此處にたづさへきたる。
And the nations shall walk by its light. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it.
25 都の門は終日 閉ぢず（此處に夜あることなし）
And its gates shall not be closed throughout the day, for there shall be no night in that place.
26 人々は諸國の民の光榮と尊貴とを此處にたづさえ來らん。
And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
27 凡て穢れたる者また憎むべき事と虚僞とを行ふ者は、此處に入らず、羔羊の生命の書に記されたる者のみ此處に入るなり。
There shall not enter into it anything defiled, nor anything causing an abomination, nor anything false, but only those who have been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.
