ヨハネの手紙第一 5
1 第二款 イエズス、キリストに於る信仰及び其の尊き結果。 総てイエズスのキリストにて在すことを信ずる人は、神より生れ奉りたる者にして、総て生み給ひしものを愛する人は、亦神より生れ奉りたり者をも愛するなり。
Whosoever believeth that, Jesus, is the Christ, of God, hath been born: and, whosoever loveth him that begat, loveth him that hath been begotten of him.
2 我等は神を愛し奉りて其掟を實行する時、之を以て神の子等を愛する事を知る、
Hereby, perceive we, that we love the children of God, as soon as, God, we love, and, his commandments, we are doing.
3 其は神に對する愛は、其掟を守るに在ればなり。斯て其掟は難きものに非ず。
For, this is the love of God—that, his commandments, we be keeping, and, his commandments, are not burdensome;
4 蓋総て神より生れ奉りし者は世に勝つ、而して世に勝ちたる勝利は我等の信仰是なり。
Because, whatsoever hath been born of God, overcometh the world; and, this, is the victory that hath overcome the world—our faith.
5 世に勝つ者は誰ぞ、イエズスが神の御子にて在すことを信ずる者に非ずや。
[And] who is he that overcometh the world, save he that believeth that, Jesus, is the Son of God?
6 是ぞ水と血とによりて來り給ひしもの、即ちイエズス、キリストなる、唯水のみに非ず水と血とによりてなり。之を證し給ふものは[聖]霊にして、[聖]霊は眞理にて在す。
This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood, —and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth.
7 蓋（天に於て證するもの三あり、父と御言と聖霊と是なり、而して此三のものは一に歸し給ふ。
Because, three, are they who are bearing witness—
8 又地に於て）證するもの三あり、霊と水と血と是なり、而して此三のものは一に歸す。
The Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; and, the three, are, [witnesses], unto one thing.
9 我等人の證を受くれば、神の證は更に大いなり、而して神の此證の大いなるは御子に就きて證し給ひしが故なり。
If, the witness of men, we receive, the witness of God, is, greater. Because, this, is the witness of God—in that he hath borne witness concerning his Son, —
10 神の御子を信じ奉る人は己の衷に神の證を有す、神を信ぜざる人は之を虚言者と為し奉る者なり、其は神が御子に就きて為し給へる證を信ぜざればなり。
He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him, —because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son—
And, this, is the witness: —that, life age-abiding, hath God given unto us, and, this life, is, in his Son: (aiōnios g166)
12 御子を有し奉る人は生命を有し、御子を有し奉らざる人は生命を有せざるなり。
He that hath the Son, hath, the life, —he that hath not the Son of God, hath not, the life.
These things, have I written unto you—in order that ye may know that ye have, Life Age-abiding—unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 又御旨に從ひて願ふ時は、何事をも我等に聴き給ふ事は、我等が彼に於て確信し奉る所にして、
And, this, is the boldness which we have towards him: that, if, anything, we ask, according to his will, He doth hearken unto us.
15 何事を願ふも我等に聴き給ふ事を知れば、亦願ひし所を得べき事をも知れるなり。
And, if we know that he doth hearken unto us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the things asked, which we have asked of him,
16 人若己が兄弟の死に至らざる罪を犯すを見ば祈るべし、然らば生命は死に至らざる罪を為せる人に賜はるべきなり。又死に至る罪あれば、我は之が為に願ふべしと言はず。
If one should see his brother committing a sin, not unto death, he shall ask, and He will grant unto him life, —for them who are sinning, not unto death. There, is, a sin, unto death: not concerning that, am I saying, that he should make request.
17 凡ての不義は罪なり、又死に至らざる罪あり。
All unrighteousness, is, sin, and there, is, a sin, not unto death.
18 総て神より生れ奉りたる人は罪を為さず、神より生れ給ひしもの之を守り給ひて、惡魔の之に触るる事なきは我等之を知れり。
We know that, whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing sin, —Nay, he that hath been born of God, He keepeth him, and, the wicked one, doth not touch him.
19 我等は神よりのものにして、世は挙りて惡魔に属する事は我等之を知れり。
We know that, of God, are we; and, the whole world, in the wicked one, is lying.
We know, moreover, that, the Son of God, hath come, and hath given us insight, so that we are getting to understand, him that is Real, —and we are in him that is Real, in his Son Jesus Christ. This, is the Real God, and life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
21 小子よ、自ら守りて偶像に遠ざかれ。
Dear children! Guard yourselves from idols.
