ヨハネの手紙第二 1
1 長老は選を蒙りたる夫人及び其子等、即ち我並に、啻我のみならず、総て眞理を識れる人も亦、
The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I only, but also all who have known the Truth—
because of the Truth, who abides in us and will be with us into the age: (aiōn g165)
3 願はくは恩寵と慈悲と平安とが、父にて在す神及び父の御子イエズス、キリストより賜はりて、眞理及び愛に於て汝等と共に在らん事を。
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with you in truth and love.
4 我汝の子等の中に、我等が父より掟を受け奉りし如くに歩める者あるを認めて、甚だ喜べり。
It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.
5 夫人よ、今新しき掟を書贈るものとせず、之を初より受けたるものとして相愛せん事を汝に冀ふ。
And now I put a request to you, lady (not as though writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have from the beginning): that we love one another.
6 愛とは我等が其御掟に從ひて歩むべき事是なり。御掟とは即汝等が初より聞きたるがままに歩むべきもの是なり。
And this is the love, that we live according to His commandments—this is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should live according to it.
7 蓋肉體にて來り給ふイエズス、キリストを宣言せざる、多くの誘惑者世に出でたり、是ぞ誘惑者にして又非キリストなる。
Now many deceivers have come into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in flesh—this is the deceiver, even the Antichrist!
8 汝等己に省みて、我等が曾て働きし所を失はず、充満せる報酬を受くる様にせよ。
Look to yourselves, so that we not lose the things for which we worked but may receive a full reward.
9 総てキリストの教に止らずして退く者は神を有し奉らず、教に止る者は父及び御子を有し奉る。
Anyone who turns aside and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; but whoever continues in Christ's teaching does have both the Father and the Son.
10 若汝等に至る者にして、此教を齎す事なくば、之を家に入るる事なく、之に挨拶すること勿れ。
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house; do not even tell him, “I wish you well,”
11 其は之に挨拶する人は、其惡しき業に與ればなり。
because whoever tells him, “I wish you well,” participates in his malignant works.
12 書贈るべき事尚多くあれども、我は紙と墨とを以てするを好まず、是汝等の喜の全からん為に、汝等の中に在りて口づから語らん事を希望すればなり。
Although I had many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; instead I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 選を蒙りたる汝の姉妹の子等、汝に宜しくと言へり。
The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
