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, and the Word was with God, and the Word 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。
By Him were all things made, and without Him was not any one 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 shineth in darkness, and the darkness attained 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。
this man came for witness, that he might testify concerning the light, that through him all 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 the 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。
The true light was that which enlightneth every man that cometh 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 yet the world knew Him not:
11 己が方に來りしも、其族之を承けざりき。
yea, He came to his own peculiar right, and even his own people 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 granted He the privilege to become the children 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。
who 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 was made flesh, and dwelt among us, being full of grace and truth: and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father.
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。
Of Him did John bare witness, and publicly declared, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh 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 fulness have we all received, even 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。
and though no one hath ever seen God, or can see Him: yet the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, hath made Him known.
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 testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?
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。
he confessed, and denied not; but declared openly, 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? art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou a 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、
Therefore said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us: What dost thou say of thy self?
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。
and he said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," according to Esaias the prophet.
24 此遣はされし人々はファリザイの徒なりしが、
Now they that 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 to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor a 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 standeth one among you, whom ye 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。
that cometh after me, but is preferred before me, the latchet of whose shoe 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 passed at 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 seeth Jesus coming towards him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God that taketh 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 cometh a man, who 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 therefore came I baptizing with water, that He might be made known to Israel.
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 testified saying, I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, 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, said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.
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 it, and therefore testified 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、
The day following John was standing, (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 was walking, he saith, "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 when the two disciples heard what he said, 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、
And Jesus turning, and seeing them following Him, saith unto them, What do ye seek? They said unto Him, Rabbi (that is to say, Master, ) where is thine abode?
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 saith unto them, Come and see. And they came and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him that day: and 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、
Now Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two that heard what John said, and thereupon followed Jesus.
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 meeteth with his own brother Simon, and telleth him, "We have found the Messiah, which is to say, 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 Andrew brought him to Jesus: and Jesus looking at him said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas; which is interpreted 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 had a mind to go out into Galilee, and meeting with Philip, saith 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 meeting Nathaniel, saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and of whom the prophets also wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Jeseph.
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 Nathaniel said unto him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip replied, 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、
And when Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards Him, He saith concerning 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。
Nathaniel saith unto Him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered him, Before Philip called thee, I saw thee, when under the fig-tree.
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、
Nathaniel replied, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art 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 told thee that I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou believest: thou shalt 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 saith unto him, Verily verily I say unto you, Ye shall hereafter see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
