ヨハネの手紙第一 2
1 我小子よ、是等の事を汝等に書贈るは、汝等が罪を犯さざらん為なり。然れど若罪を犯したる者あらば、我等は父の御前に辯護者を有せり。是即ち義者イエズス、キリストにして、
My dear children, I am writing these things to you so that you not sin; if someone does sin, we have an Advocate in the Father's presence, righteous Jesus Christ—
2 彼は我等が罪の贖にて在す、啻に我等の罪のみならず、全世界の罪に對しても亦然るなり。
also, He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; not concerning ours only but also concerning those of the whole world.
3 我等御掟を守る時に、是によりて彼を識り奉れる事を覚る。
Now by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.
4 自ら彼を識り奉れりと言ひて御掟を守らざる人は、虚言者にして眞理其衷に在らず。
He who says, “I have come to know Him,” yet does not keep His commandments, is a liar and the Truth is not in him.
5 其御言を守る人には、神に對するの愛ありて完全なり。我等は是によりて、己の彼に在る事を覚る。
But whoever keeps His Word, God's love has truly been perfected in him: by this we know that we are in Him.
6 彼に止り奉ると言ふ人は、己も亦彼が歩み給ひし如くに歩まざるべからず。
He who claims to be abiding in Him really needs to act just like He acted.
7 至愛なる者よ、我が汝等に書贈るは新しき掟に非ず、汝等が初より受けたる古き掟にして、古き掟とは汝等の聞きし御言なり。
Brothers, I am not writing a new commandment to you but an old one that you have had from the beginning; this old commandment is the word that you have heard from the beginning.
8 又新しき掟を汝等に書贈る。是は彼に於ても汝等に於ても等しく眞なり、其は暗黒過去りて眞の光既に照ればなり。
Again, I am writing a new commandment to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
9 自ら光に在りと言ひて己が兄弟を憎む人は、今に至るまで暗黒の衷に居るなり。
He who claims to be in the Light while hating his brother is in the darkness until now.
10 己が兄弟を愛する人は、光に止まりて、彼には躓く所なし。
He who keeps on loving his brother is staying in the Light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 然れど己が兄弟を憎む人は、暗黒に在りて暗黒に歩み、暗黒の為に目を眩されたるが故に、往くべき所を知らざるなり。
But he who keeps on hating his brother is in the darkness and keeps walking in the darkness; he does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 小子よ、我が汝等に書贈るは、汝等の罪キリストの御名によりて赦されたるが故なり。
Dear children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for His name's sake
13 父等よ、我が汝等に書贈るは汝等が初より存し給へるものを識りたるが故なり。青年等よ、我が汝等に書贈るは、汝等が惡魔に勝ちたる故なり。
—fathers, I am writing to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I am writing to you because you have overcome the evil one; children, I am writing to you because you have come to know the Father—
14 子兒等よ、我が汝等に書贈りしは、汝等が父を識り奉れる故なり。父等よ、我が汝等に書贈りしは、汝等が父を識り奉りたりし故なり。若き者よ、我が汝等に書贈りしは、汝等が強くして神の御言汝等の衷に止り、汝等惡魔に勝ちたる故なり。
fathers, I have written to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I have written to you because you are strong, and the Word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 世及び世に在る事を愛する勿れ、人若世を愛せば父に對する愛之に存する事なし、
Do not love the world, neither the things in the world; if anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 其は総て世に在る事、肉の慾、目の慾、生活の誇は父より出でずして世より出づればなり。
Because everything in the world—the craving of the flesh and the craving of the eyes and the pretension of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
The world, with its craving, is passing away, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 小子よ、末の時なり、曾て非キリスト來ると汝等の聞きし如く、今既に非キリストと成れるもの多し。我等は之によりて末の時なるを知る。
Children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared, by which we know that it is the last hour.
19 彼等は我等の中より出でたれど、素より我等のものたらざりき。若我等のものたりしならば、我等と共に止りしならん、然るに[斯の如くなるは]彼等が皆我等のものたらざる事の明に成らん為なり。
They went out from us but were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us—they left so that they might be exposed, that none of them were of us.
20 汝等は聖なるものより注油せられて、一切の事を識れり。
You have an Anointing from the Holy One and understand all.
21 我が汝等に書贈りしは、眞理を知らざる者としてに非ず、之を知り、又偽は総て眞理より出でざる事を知れる人として書贈れるなり。
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the Truth.
22 僞る者は誰ぞ、イエズスのキリストにて在す事を否める人に非ずや。御父及び御子を否める人、是こそは非キリストなれ。
Who is the liar but the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.
23 総て御子を否める人は御父をも有し奉らず、御子を宣言する人は御父をも有し奉るなり。
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either.
24 願はくは汝等が初より聞きし所汝等の衷に止らん事を。若初より聞きし所汝等の衷に止らば、汝等も亦御子及び御父の衷に止り奉らん。
So you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you; if what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Father and in the Son.
This is the promise that He Himself promised us—the eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 我汝等を惑はす人々に就きて是等の事を書贈りたれども、
I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you;
27 汝等は彼より賜はりし注油其身に止りて、人に教へらるるを要せず、其注油は萬事に就きて汝等を教へ、而も眞にして偽に非ず、汝等其教へたる儘に之に止れ。
but really, you do not need anyone to teach you, because the Anointing that you received from Him abides in you; further, as the same Anointing teaches you concerning all things, and it is true and no lie—well just as He has taught you, you will abide in Him.
28 小子よ、卒主の衷に止り奉れ、然らば其顕れ給はん時、我等は憚る所なく、其降臨に於て彼より辱められじ。
And now, dear children, do abide in Him, so that whenever He appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 第二項 神は義にて在せば我等は義に據るべし。 汝等神が義にて在すことを識らば、又義を為す人の彼より生れ奉りしを辨へよ。
If you have understood that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been begotten by Him.
