ヨハネの福音書 1
1 元始に御言あり、御言神の御許に在り、御言は神にてありたり。
In the beginning was the Word, (logos) and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God.
2 是元始に神の御許に在たるものにして、
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 萬物之に由りて成れり、成りしものの一も、之に由らずして成りたるはあらず。
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 之がうちに生命ありて、生命又人間の光たりしが、
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 光闇に照ると雖も、闇之を暁らざりき。
And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 神より遣はされて、名をヨハネと云へる人ありしが、
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 其來りしは證明の為にして、光を證明し、凡ての人をして己に籍りて信ぜしめん為なりき。
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 彼は光に非ずして、光を證明すべき者たりしなり。
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 [御言こそ、]此世に出來る凡ての人を照らす眞の光なりけれ。
That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.
10 曾て世に在り、世又之に由りて成りたれども、世之を知らず、
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 己が方に來りしも、其族之を承けざりき。
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 然れど之を承けし人々には各神の子となるべき権能を授けたり。是即ち其名を信ずる者、
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 血統に由らず、肉の意に由らず、人の意に由らず、神に由りて生れ奉りたる者なり。
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 斯て御言は肉と成りて、我等の中に宿り給へり、我等は其光榮を見奉りしが、其は父より來れる獨子の如き光榮なりき、即ち恩寵と眞理とに満ち給ひしなり。
And the Word (logos) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
15 ヨハネは彼に就きて證明し、呼はりて曰く、我より後に來るべき人は、我に先ちて存したるが故に我より先にせられたり、と云ひて我が曾て指示ししは是なり、と。
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 斯て我等は皆其充満せる所より授かりて、恩寵に恩寵を加へられたり。
And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 蓋律法はモイゼを以て與へられたるも、恩寵と眞理とはイエズス、キリストを以て成りたるなり。
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 誰も曾て神を見奉りし人はあらず、父の御懐に在す獨子の自ら説き顕し給ひしなり。
No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
19 第一款 洗者ヨハネイエズスを證明す。 第一篇 イエズス言行を以て其神性及び派遣を證し給ふ 第一項 最初の證明及行為 抑ヨハネの證明は次の如し。ユデア人がエルザレムより司祭及びレヴィ人等を彼に遣はして、汝は誰なるぞ、と問はしめし時、
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?
20 彼は宣言せしが、否む事なくして、我キリストに非ずと宣言せり。
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 彼等、然らば何ぞや、汝はエリアなるか、と問ひしに、彼、然らずと云ひ、[彼]預言者なるか、と云ひしに、否と答へたり。
And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 斯て彼等、汝は誰なるぞ、我等を遣はしし人々に答ふる事を得しめよ、自ら己を何と稱するぞ、と云ひしかば、
Then said they unto him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What say you of yourself?
23 彼云ひけるは、我は預言者イザヤの云ひし如く、「汝等主の道を平にせよ」と野に呼はる者の聲なり、と。
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 此遣はされし人々はファリザイの徒なりしが、
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 又ヨハネに問ひて、然らば汝はキリストにも非ず、エリアにも非ず、[彼]預言者にも非ざるに、何ぞ洗するや、と云ひしに
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptize you then, if you be not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
26 ヨハネ答へて云ひけるは、我は水にて洗すれども、汝等の中に、汝等の知らざる一個の人立てり、
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there stands one among you, whom all of you know not;
27 是ぞ我後に來るべき者、我より先にせられたる者にして、我は其履の紐を解くにだも堪へず、と。
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 此等の事は、ヨハネの洗しつつありしヨルダン[河]の彼方、ベタニアにて成りき。
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 明日ヨハネ、イエズスの己に來り給ふを見て云ひけるは、看よ神の羔を、看よ世の罪を除き給ふ者を。
The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
30 我が曾て、我より後に來る者あり、我より先に存したるが故に我より先にせられたり、と云ひて指示ししは是なり。
This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31 我原之を知らざりしかど、水にて洗しつつ來れるは、彼をイスラエルに於て顕れしめん為なり、と。
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 ヨハネ又證明して云ひけるは、我は[聖]霊が鳩の如く天より降りて彼の上に止り給ふを見たり。
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit (pneuma) descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
33 我原彼を知らざりしかど、我を遣はして水にて洗せしめ給へえるもの、我に曰ひけらく、汝[聖]霊の降りて人の上に止り給ふを見ば、是ぞ聖霊にて洗する者なる、と。
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit (pneuma) descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
34 斯て我之を目撃して、彼が神の御子たる事を證明したるなり、と。
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35 第二款 イエズス自らを證明し給ふ 翌日ヨハネ又弟子兩人と共に立ち居て、
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 イエズスの歩み給ふを見、看よ神の羔を、と云ひしかば、
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 二人の弟子斯く語るを聞きて、イエズスに随行きしに、
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 イエズス回顧りて其從へるを見、之に曰ひけるは、汝等何を求むるぞ、と。彼等、ラビ――訳せば師よ――何處に住み給ふぞ、と云ひしかば、
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and says unto them, What seek all of you? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwell you?
39 イエズス、來て見よ、と曰へり、彼等往きてイエズスの住み給ふ處を見、其日は其處に留れり。時は四時頃なりき。
He says unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40 シモンペトロの兄弟アンデレアは、ヨハネより聞きてイエズスに從ひし兩人の其一人なりしが、
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 先其兄弟シモンに出逢ひて之に云ひけるは、我等メッシア――訳せばキリスト――に遇へり、と。
He first finds his own brother Simon, and says unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42 斯て之をイエズスの許に連來りしに、イエズス之を熟視めて曰ひけるは、汝はヨナの子シモンなり、ケファ――訳せばペトロ――と名けられん、と。
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, You are Simon the son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43 次日ガリレアに往かんとして、フィリッポに遇ひ給ひしかば、イエズス、我に從へ、と曰ひしが、
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and finds Philip, and says unto him, Follow me.
44 フィリッポは、アンデレアとペトロとの故郷なる、ベッサイダの人なりき。
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 フィリッポナタナエルに遇ひて云ひけるは、我等モイゼの律法にも預言者等にも録されし人に遇へり、即ちナザレトのヨゼフの子イエズスなり、と。
Philip finds Nathanael, and says unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 ナタナエル、何等の善き者かナザレトより出づるを得んや、と云ひしかば、フィリッポ、來て見よ、と云へり。
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip says unto him, Come and see.
47 イエズスナタナエルの己に來るを見給ひ、之を指して、是實に野心なきイスラエル人なり、と曰へば、
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 ナタナエル、如何にして我を知り給ふぞ、と云ひしに、イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、フィリッポが汝を呼ぶ前に、我汝が無花果樹の下に居るを見たり、と。
Nathanael says unto him, Whence know you me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
49 ナタナエル答へて、ラビ汝は神の御子なり、イスラエルの王なり、と云ひしかば、
Nathanael answered and says unto him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
50 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、汝が信じたるは、我汝が無花果樹の下に居るを見たりと告げしによりてなり。汝、之よりも更に大いなる事を見ん、と。
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto you, I saw you under the fig tree, believe you? you shall see greater things than these.
51 又之に曰ひけるは、誠に實に汝等に告ぐ、汝等は天開けて神の使等が人の子の上に陟降するを見るべし、と。
And he says unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter all of you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
