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 unto the excellent Lady, and her children, whom I love in truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
for the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and will be with us for ever: (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 be with you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, 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。
I rejoiced greatly that I found among thy children such as walked in truth, 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 beseech thee, Lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we may 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 love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in 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。
For many deceivers are come out into the world, who disown that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an 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, that ye lose not the things which ye have wrought, but that ye 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。
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: but he, that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, hath 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。
Now if any one come unto you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor wish him success: for he,
11 其は之に挨拶する人は、其惡しき業に與ればなり。
that biddeth him welcome, is partaker of his evil deeds.
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。
Having many things to write unto you, I would not with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
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 thy elect sister salute thee. Amen.
