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 is born of God: and every one, that loveth Him that begat, loveth Him also that is 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、
and in this we know that we love the children of God, since we love God and keep his commandments.
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 we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
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。
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that vanquisheth the world, even 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。
Who then is he that overcometh the world, but he who 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 by water and by blood, even Jesus the Messiah; not with water only, but with water and blood: and of this the Spirit beareth witness, for the Spirit is 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。
Yea there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
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。
and these three agree in one.
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。
Now if we admit the testimony of men, sure the testimony of God is greater: and this is the testimony of God, which He hath testified 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 in himself: he, that believeth not God, hath in effect made Him a liar, because he believed not the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.
And the testimony is this, that God hath given to us eternal life; 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 life: he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written to you, who believe on the name of the son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may the more firmly 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 confidence, which we have towards Him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, He heareth 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 heareth us in whatsoever we ask; we know that we shall have the petitions, which we have requested 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 any one see his brother commit a sin which is not unto death, let him pray for him, and God will give him life, that is for them that do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death: and for that I do not say that he should pray.
17 凡ての不義は罪なり、又死に至らざる罪あり。
All unrighteousness indeed is sin, and yet 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 is born of God, doth not practise sin: but keepeth himself from it, 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 we are of God, and the whole world lieth under the wicked one.
But we know that the son of God is come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, and in his son Jesus Christ: He is the true God, and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 小子よ、自ら守りて偶像に遠ざかれ。
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
