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、
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants what must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant 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 bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, —of whatever 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 readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein; for the time is at hand.
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 churches which are in Asia: Grace be 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 first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
and made us a kingdom, priests to God his Father, to him be the glory and the dominion for ever. 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 cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, 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 companion in the affliction and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and 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 was in the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a loud 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 it to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardes, 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 to see the voice that was speaking with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,
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 candlesticks one like to a son of man, clothed with a garment reaching down to the feet, and girded 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 his hairs were white as white wool, as snow; and his eyes were 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 were like fine brass, as if burning in a furnace; and his voice was as the sound 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 he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
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 on 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 the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall 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 sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
