Revelation 3

1 And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.

又サルジス教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、神の七霊と七の星とを持ち給へるもの曰く、我は汝の業を知れり、即ち汝は活くるの名ありて而も死せるなり、

2 Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God.

警戒して将に死せんとする殘を堅固ならしめよ、其は我汝の業が我神の御前に円満ならざるを認むればなり。

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep [it], and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

然れば汝曾て受けし所聞きし所の如何なりしかを思起し、之を守りて改心せよ、汝警戒せずんば、我盗人の如く汝の許に至るべく、汝は其何れの時に至るかを知らじ。

4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy.

然りながらサルジスに於て己が衣裳を汚さざりしもの、汝等の中に數人あり、彼等は白衣を着て我と共に歩まん、其は之に値する者なればなり。

5 He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

勝利を得たる人は斯の如く白衣を着せらるべく、我其名を生命の名簿より消さず、我父の御前にも其使等の前にも、彼の名を宣告すべし。

6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會の曰ふ所を聞け。

7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and none shall shut, and that shutteth and none openeth:

又フィラデルフィア教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、聖にして信實にて在すもの、ダヴィドの鍵を有し給ひて、開き給へば誰も閉づる事なく、閉ぢ給へば誰も開く事なきもの曰く、

8 I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.

我は汝の業を知れり。看よ、誰も閉ぢ得ざる門を我汝の前に開き置けり、其は汝力乏しと雖も、我言を守りて我名を否まざりし故なり。

9 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

看よ我サタン教會の中より、自らユデア人と稱しつつ然らずして僞れる人々を與ふ、看よ、我彼等をして至りて汝の足下に拝伏せしむべく、斯て彼等は我が汝を愛したる事を知るべし。

10 Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

汝わが忍耐の言を守りし故に、我も亦汝を守りて、地上に住める人々を試みん為に全世界に來るべき試の時に之を免かれしめん。

11 I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.

看よ我速に至る、汝が既に有てるものを保ちて、汝の冠を誰にも奪はるる事勿れ。

12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.

我勝利を得たる人をして我神の聖殿に於る柱たらしめん、斯て彼は最早外に出づる事なかるべく、我彼の上に書記すに、我神の御名と我神の都、即ち天より降だれる新しきエルザレムの名と、我が新しき名とを以てすべし。

13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會に曰ふ所を聞け。

14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:

又ラオディケア教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、アメンなるもの、神の造物の最初にして、忠信眞實にて在せる證者曰く、

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

我汝の業を知れり、即ち汝は冷かなるにも非ず熱きにも非ざるなり、寧冷かに或は熱くあらばや。

16 So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

然れど汝は冷かにも熱くも非ずして温きが故に、我は汝を口より吐出さんとす。

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:

蓋汝自ら、我は富めり、豊かにして乏しき所なし、と言ひつつ、其實は不幸にして憫むべく、且貧しく且瞽にして且赤裸なるを知らざるなり。

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

我汝に勧む、火にて験されし金を、富まん為に我より買へ、又身に纏ひて汝が赤裸の恥を顕さざらん為に、白き衣裳を買へ、又見る事を得ん為に、汝の目に目薬を塗れ。

19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

我は我が愛する人々を責め且懲らすなり、然れば奮發して改心せよ。

20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

看よ、我門前に立ちて敲く、我聲を聞きて我に門を開く人あらば、我其内に入りて彼と晩餐を共にし、彼も亦我と共にすべし。

21 He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.

勝利を得たる人をして、我玉座に我と共に坐するを得しめん事、猶我が勝利を得て我父と共に其玉座に坐せるが如くなるべし。

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會に曰ふ所を聞け、と曰へり。
