ヨハネの黙示録 21
1 第二項 聖會の決勝 我又新しき天と新しき地とを見たり、蓋曩の天と曩の地とは過去りて、海も既に在らざるなり。
Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away; and the sea has ceased to be.
2 我ヨハネ又、聖なる都會新しきエルザレムが、恰も其夫の為に飾れる新婦の如く備はりて、神より天降るを見たり。
And I saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending new out of Heaven from God, like a bride adorned in readiness for her husband.
3 又大いなる聲の玉座より來るを聞けり、曰く、看よ神の幕屋は人々と共に在り、神彼等と共に住み給ひて、彼等其民と成り、神御自ら彼等と共に在して、其神と成り給はん。
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said — ‘See! the Tabernacle of God is set up among men. God will dwell among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,
4 又神彼等の目より涙を悉く拭去り給ひ、此後は死ある事なく、悔も叫も苦も更に之あらざるべし、其は前の事既に去りたればなり、と。
and he will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, nor will there be any more grief or crying or pain. The old order has passed away.’
5 又玉座に坐し給ふもの曰ひけるは、看よ我萬事を新にす、と。又我に曰ひけるは、汝書記せ、其は此言は信ずべくして眞なればなり、と。
And he who was seated on the throne said — ‘See, I make all things new!’ And he said — ‘Write this, for these words may be trusted and are true.’
6 又我に曰ひけるは、事既に成れり、我はアルファなり、オメガなり、始なり、終なり、我渇く人をして生命の水の源より價なく飲むことを得しめん。
And he said to me — ‘They are fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the spring of the Water of Life, freely.
7 勝利を得たる人は、是等のものを有して、我其神と成り、彼我子と成るべし。
He who conquers shall enter into possession of these things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son.
9 又七の最後の禍の充てる器を持ちたる七の天使の一、來りて我に語り言ひけるは、來れ、我羔の配偶者たる新婦を汝に示さん、と。
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and were laden with the seven last Curses, came and spoke to me. ‘Come here,’ he said, ‘and I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb.’
10 斯て我氣を奪ひて、我を大いにして高き山に携へ、聖なる都エルザレムが神より天降るを示せり。
He carried me away in a trance to a great high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, descending out of Heaven from God, filled with the glory of God.
11 即ち神の榮光を有して、其燈は水晶の如くに透明れる碧玉の如き寳石に似たり。
Its brilliance was like that of some very precious stone, like a jasper, transparent as crystal.
12 又十二の門を備へたる、大いにして高き城壁あり、其門に十二の天使ありて記されたる名あり、即ちイスラエルの子等の十二族の名なり。
It had a great high wall, in which were twelve gates; and at these gates there were twelve angels, and there were names inscribed on the gates, the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites.
13 東に三の門、北に三の門、南に三の門、西に三の門あり。
‘There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.’
14 又市街の城壁に十二の基礎ありて、羔の十二使徒の名之に記されたり。
The wall of the City had twelve foundation stones, on which were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15 斯て我と語れる者は、市街と其門と城壁とを測る為に、金の葦の測量竿を持ちたりしが、
And the angel who was speaking to me had as a measure a gold rod, with which to measure the City and its gates and its wall.
16 市街は四角に立ちて、長さ広さ相等しく、天使其金の葦を以て市街を測りしに、五百五十五里にして、長さ高さ広さ相等し。
The City is square; the length and the breadth are the same. The angel measured with his rod; it was twelve hundred miles; its length, and breadth, and height are equal.
17 又城壁を測りしに、二十五丈あり、人の度にして亦天使の度なり。
Then he measured the wall; it was two hundred and eighty-eight feet, as men measure, that is as the angel measured.
18 其城壁は碧玉より成り、市街は清き玻璃に似たる純金にして、
The material of the wall of the City was jasper, and the City was built of pure gold, which shone like clear glass.
19 市街の城壁の基礎は有らゆる寳石を鏤め、第一の基礎は碧玉、第二は青玉、第三は玉髄、第四は緑玉、
The foundations of the wall of the City were ornamented with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;
20 第五はサルドニクス、第六は赤條瑪瑙、第七は貴橄欖石、第八は緑柱玉、第九は黄玉、第十はクリゾプラズ、第十一はヒヤシント、第十二は紫水晶なり。
the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a carnelian; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprase; the eleventh a hyacinth; and the twelfth an amethyst.
21 十二の門は十二の眞珠にして、各の門は一の眞珠より成り、市街の衢は透明れる玻璃の如き純金なり。
The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, each gate of one pearl. The street of the City was of pure gold, transparent as glass.
22 此市街には[聖]殿あるを見ず、其は全能の神にて在す主及び羔は、其[聖]殿にて在せばなり。
And I saw no Temple there, for the Lord, our God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are its Temple.
23 又此市街は日月に照さるるを要せず、其は神の榮光之を照し、羔其燈にて在せばなり。
The City has no need of ‘the sun or the moon to shine upon it, for the Glory of God illuminated it,’ and its Lamp was the Lamb.
24 諸國民彼が光によりて歩むべく、地上の國王等己が光榮と尊崇とを是に齎すべく、
‘The nations walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
25 其門は終日閉づる事なかるべし、其は此處には夜無なければなり。
Its gates will never be shut by day,’ and there will be no night there.
26 是には諸國民光榮と尊貴とを齎すべく、
And men will bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 潔からざるもの、憎むべき事を行ふもの、僞を為すものは之に入らず、羔の生命の名簿に記されたる人々のみ之に入るべし。
‘Never shall any unhallowed thing enter it,’ nor he whose life is shameful and false, but only ‘those whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.’
