ヨハネの黙示録 1
1 イエズス、キリストの黙示、即ち必ず速に成るべき事を其僕等に明さしめんとて、神はイエズスに賜ひ、イエズス又其使を遣はして其僕ヨハネに示し給ひ、
Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman John,
2 ヨハネは神の御言を證し、又イエズス、キリストの證明し給ひし事、総て己が目撃せし事を證したるものなり。
who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.
3 此預言の言を読み且聞きて、是に録したる事を守る人は福なり、其は時近ければなり。
Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time [is] near.
4 ヨハネ[小]アジアにある七教會に[書簡を贈る]。願はくは現に在し、曾て在し、且來り給ふべきものより、又其玉座の前に在る七霊より、
John to the seven assemblies which [are] in Asia: Grace to you and peace from [him] who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which [are] before his throne;
5 又イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と平安とを汝等に賜はらん事を。即ちイエズス、キリストは忠實なる證者、死者の中より先ちて生れ給ひしもの、地上の王等の君に在し、我等を愛し給ひ、御血を以て我等を罪より潔め給ひ、
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,
and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 看よ彼は雲に乗りて來り給ふ、凡ての目及び彼を刺貫きし人々も之を見ん、地上の萬民彼の故に歎かん。然り、アメン。
Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.
8 現に在し、曾て在し、且來り給ふべき全能の神にて在す主曰く、我はアルファなり、オメガなり、始なり、終なり、と。
I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 第一編 七教會に贈る書簡 汝等の兄弟にして、キリスト、イエズスに於て患難と國と忍耐とを共にせる我ヨハネ、神の御言の為、及びイエズスを證し奉らん為に、パトモスと云へる島に在りしが、
I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
10 或主日に當り、氣を奪はるるが如くになりて、我後に喇叭の如き大いなる聲を聞けり、
I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
11 曰く、汝見る所を書に記して、アジアなるエフェゾ、スミルナ、ベルガモ、チアチラ、サルヂス、フィラデルフィア、ラオヂケアの七教會に贈れ、と。
saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 我己に語れる聲を見んとて顧みしが、顧みれば七の金の燈台あり、七の金の燈台の中央に當りて人の子の如きものあり、
And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,
13 足まで垂れたる衣を着し、胸に金の帯を締め給ひ、
and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:
14 御頭と髪毛とは白き羊の毛の如く又雪の如く白く、御目は燃ゆる焔の如く、
his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
15 兩の御足は熱き炉に於る青銅の如く、御聲は大水の音の如く、
and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
16 右の御手には七の星を持ち給ひ、御口より兩刃の利き剣を出し、御顔は日盛に照輝ける太陽の如し。
and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.
17 我之を見るや、死せるが如く御足下に倒れしが、右の御手を我に觸けて曰ひけるは、懼るる勿れ、我は最初のものにして又最終のものなり、
And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
19 然れば汝が既に見し事、現にある事、此後あるべき事、
Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.
20 又我右の手に見し七の星の奥義と、七の金の燈台の奥義とを書記せ、七の星は七教會の天使にして、七の燈台は七教會なり。
The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. — The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies.
