ヨハネの黙示録 3
1 又サルジス教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、神の七霊と七の星とを持ち給へるもの曰く、我は汝の業を知れり、即ち汝は活くるの名ありて而も死せるなり、
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things says he that has the seven Spirits (pneuma) of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead.
2 警戒して将に死せんとする殘を堅固ならしめよ、其は我汝の業が我神の御前に円満ならざるを認むればなり。
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God.
3 然れば汝曾て受けし所聞きし所の如何なりしかを思起し、之を守りて改心せよ、汝警戒せずんば、我盗人の如く汝の許に至るべく、汝は其何れの時に至るかを知らじ。
Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
4 然りながらサルジスに於て己が衣裳を汚さざりしもの、汝等の中に數人あり、彼等は白衣を着て我と共に歩まん、其は之に値する者なればなり。
You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 勝利を得たる人は斯の如く白衣を着せらるべく、我其名を生命の名簿より消さず、我父の御前にも其使等の前にも、彼の名を宣告すべし。
He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會の曰ふ所を聞け。
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit (pneuma) says unto the churches.
7 又フィラデルフィア教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、聖にして信實にて在すもの、ダヴィドの鍵を有し給ひて、開き給へば誰も閉づる事なく、閉ぢ給へば誰も開く事なきもの曰く、
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens;
8 我は汝の業を知れり。看よ、誰も閉ぢ得ざる門を我汝の前に開き置けり、其は汝力乏しと雖も、我言を守りて我名を否まざりし故なり。
I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, (logos) and have not denied my name.
9 看よ我サタン教會の中より、自らユデア人と稱しつつ然らずして僞れる人々を與ふ、看よ、我彼等をして至りて汝の足下に拝伏せしむべく、斯て彼等は我が汝を愛したる事を知るべし。
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 汝わが忍耐の言を守りし故に、我も亦汝を守りて、地上に住める人々を試みん為に全世界に來るべき試の時に之を免かれしめん。
Because you have kept the word (logos) of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 看よ我速に至る、汝が既に有てるものを保ちて、汝の冠を誰にも奪はるる事勿れ。
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown.
12 我勝利を得たる人をして我神の聖殿に於る柱たらしめん、斯て彼は最早外に出づる事なかるべく、我彼の上に書記すに、我神の御名と我神の都、即ち天より降だれる新しきエルザレムの名と、我が新しき名とを以てすべし。
Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會に曰ふ所を聞け。
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit (pneuma) says unto the churches.
14 又ラオディケア教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、アメンなるもの、神の造物の最初にして、忠信眞實にて在せる證者曰く、
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 我汝の業を知れり、即ち汝は冷かなるにも非ず熱きにも非ざるなり、寧冷かに或は熱くあらばや。
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 然れど汝は冷かにも熱くも非ずして温きが故に、我は汝を口より吐出さんとす。
So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.
17 蓋汝自ら、我は富めり、豊かにして乏しき所なし、と言ひつつ、其實は不幸にして憫むべく、且貧しく且瞽にして且赤裸なるを知らざるなり。
Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 我汝に勧む、火にて験されし金を、富まん為に我より買へ、又身に纏ひて汝が赤裸の恥を顕さざらん為に、白き衣裳を買へ、又見る事を得ん為に、汝の目に目薬を塗れ。
I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19 我は我が愛する人々を責め且懲らすなり、然れば奮發して改心せよ。
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 看よ、我門前に立ちて敲く、我聲を聞きて我に門を開く人あらば、我其内に入りて彼と晩餐を共にし、彼も亦我と共にすべし。
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 勝利を得たる人をして、我玉座に我と共に坐するを得しめん事、猶我が勝利を得て我父と共に其玉座に坐せるが如くなるべし。
To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會に曰ふ所を聞け、と曰へり。
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit (pneuma) says unto the churches.
