ヨハネの黙示録 3

1 サルデスに在る教會の使に書きおくれ。「神の七つの靈と七つの星とを持つ者かく言ふ、われ汝の行爲を知る、汝は生くる名あれど死にたる者なり。

"And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: "He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: "I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

2 なんぢ目を覺し、殆ど死なんとする殘のものを堅うせよ、我なんぢの行爲のわが神の前に全からぬを見とめたり。

Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which were about to die, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.

3 されば汝の如何に受けしか、如何に聽きしかを思ひいで、之を守りて悔改めよ。もし目を覺さずば、盜人のごとく我きたらん、汝わが何れの時きたるかを知らざるべし。

Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come to you.

4 されどサルデスにて衣を汚さぬもの數名あり、彼らは白き衣を著て我とともに歩まん、斯くするに相應しき者なればなり。

Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

5 勝を得る者は斯くのごとく白き衣を著せられん、我その名を生命の書より消し落さず、我が父のまへと御使の前とにてその名を言ひあらはさん。

He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

6 耳ある者は御靈の諸 教會に言ひ給ふことを聽くべし」

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

7 ヒラデルヒヤにある教會の使に書きおくれ。「聖なるもの眞なる者、ダビデの鍵を持ちて、開けば閉づる者なく、閉づれば開く者なき者かく言ふ、

"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: "These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens:

8 われ汝の行爲を知る、視よ、我なんぢの前に開けたる門を置く、これを閉ぢ得る者なし。汝すこしの力ありて、我が言を守り、我が名を否まざりき。

"I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have a little power, and have kept my word, and did not deny my name.

9 視よ、我サタンの會、すなはち自らユダヤ人と稱へてユダヤ人にあらず、ただ虚僞をいふ者の中より、或 者をして汝の足下に來り拜せしめ、わが汝を愛せしことを知らしめん。

Look, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie; look, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

10 汝わが忍耐の言を守りし故に、我なんぢを守りて、地に住む者どもを試むるために全世界に來らんとする試錬のときに免れしめん。

Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

11 われ速かに來らん、汝の有つものを守りて、汝の冠冕を人に奪はれざれ。

I am coming quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

12 われ勝を得る者を我が神の聖所の柱とせん、彼は再び外に出でざるべし、又かれの上に、わが神の名および我が神の都、すなはち天より我が神より降る新しきエルサレムの名と、我が新しき名とを書き記さん。

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.

13 耳ある者は御靈の諸 教會に言ひ給ふことを聽くべし」

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

14 ラオデキヤに在る教會の使に書きおくれ。「アァメンたる者、忠實なる眞なる證人、神の造り給ふものの本源たる者かく言ふ、

"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:

15 われ汝の行爲を知る、なんぢは冷かにもあらず熱きにもあらず、我はむしろ汝が冷かならんか、熱からんかを願ふ。

"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.

16 かく熱きにもあらず、冷かにもあらず、ただ微温きが故に、我なんぢを我が口より吐き出さん。

So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

17 なんぢ、我は富めり、豐なり、乏しき所なしと言ひて、己が惱める者・憐むべき者・貧しき者・盲目なる者・裸なる者たるを知らざれば、

Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;

18 我なんぢに勸む、なんぢ我より火にて煉りたる金を買ひて富め、白き衣を買ひて身に纏ひ、なんぢの裸體の恥を露さざれ、眼藥を買ひて汝の目に塗り、見ることを得よ。

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.

19 凡てわが愛する者は、我これを戒め之を懲す。この故に、なんぢ勵みて悔改めよ。

As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 視よ、われ戸の外に立ちて叩く、人もし我が聲を聞きて戸を開かば、我その内に入りて彼とともに食し、彼もまた我とともに食せん。

Look, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.

21 勝を得る者には我とともに我が座位に坐することを許さん、我の勝を得しとき、我が父とともに其の御座に坐したるが如し。

He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

22 耳ある者は御靈の諸 教會に言ひ給ふことを聽くべし」』

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
