< Revelation 3 >
1 And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
サルデスに在る教會の使に書きおくれ。「神の七つの靈と七つの星とを持つ者かく言ふ、われ汝の行爲を知る、汝は生くる名あれど死にたる者なり。
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die, for I have not found thy works complete before my God.
なんぢ目を覺し、殆ど死なんとする殘のものを堅うせよ、我なんぢの行爲のわが神の前に全からぬを見とめたり。
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and keep [it] and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come [upon thee] as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I shall come upon thee.
されば汝の如何に受けしか、如何に聽きしかを思ひいで、之を守りて悔改めよ。もし目を覺さずば、盜人のごとく我きたらん、汝わが何れの時きたるかを知らざるべし。
4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
されどサルデスにて衣を汚さぬもの數名あり、彼らは白き衣を著て我とともに歩まん、斯くするに相應しき者なればなり。
5 He that overcomes, he shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
勝を得る者は斯くのごとく白き衣を著せられん、我その名を生命の書より消し落さず、我が父のまへと御使の前とにてその名を言ひあらはさん。
6 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
耳ある者は御靈の諸 教會に言ひ給ふことを聽くべし」
7 And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith the holy, the true; he that has the key of David, he who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open:
ヒラデルヒヤにある教會の使に書きおくれ。「聖なるもの眞なる者、ダビデの鍵を持ちて、開けば閉づる者なく、閉づれば開く者なき者かく言ふ、
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an opened door, which no one can shut, because thou hast a little power, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
われ汝の行爲を知る、視よ、我なんぢの前に開けたる門を置く、これを閉ぢ得る者なし。汝すこしの力ありて、我が言を守り、我が名を否まざりき。
9 Behold, I make them of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will cause that they shall come and shall do homage before thy feet, and shall know that I have loved thee.
視よ、我サタンの會、すなはち自らユダヤ人と稱へてユダヤ人にあらず、ただ虚僞をいふ者の中より、或 者をして汝の足下に來り拜せしめ、わが汝を愛せしことを知らしめん。
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
汝わが忍耐の言を守りし故に、我なんぢを守りて、地に住む者どもを試むるために全世界に來らんとする試錬のときに免れしめん。
11 I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
われ速かに來らん、汝の有つものを守りて、汝の冠冕を人に奪はれざれ。
12 He that overcomes, him will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more at all out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven, from my God, and my new name.
われ勝を得る者を我が神の聖所の柱とせん、彼は再び外に出でざるべし、又かれの上に、わが神の名および我が神の都、すなはち天より我が神より降る新しきエルサレムの名と、我が新しき名とを書き記さん。
13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
耳ある者は御靈の諸 教會に言ひ給ふことを聽くべし」
14 And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
ラオデキヤに在る教會の使に書きおくれ。「アァメンたる者、忠實なる眞なる證人、神の造り給ふものの本源たる者かく言ふ、
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
われ汝の行爲を知る、なんぢは冷かにもあらず熱きにもあらず、我はむしろ汝が冷かならんか、熱からんかを願ふ。
16 Thus because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spue thee out of my mouth.
かく熱きにもあらず、冷かにもあらず、ただ微温きが故に、我なんぢを我が口より吐き出さん。
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and am grown rich, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked;
なんぢ、我は富めり、豐なり、乏しき所なしと言ひて、己が惱める者・憐むべき者・貧しき者・盲目なる者・裸なる者たるを知らざれば、
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
我なんぢに勸む、なんぢ我より火にて煉りたる金を買ひて富め、白き衣を買ひて身に纏ひ、なんぢの裸體の恥を露さざれ、眼藥を買ひて汝の目に塗り、見ることを得よ。
19 I rebuke and discipline as many as I love; be zealous therefore and repent.
凡てわが愛する者は、我これを戒め之を懲す。この故に、なんぢ勵みて悔改めよ。
20 Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and sup with him, and he with me.
視よ、われ戸の外に立ちて叩く、人もし我が聲を聞きて戸を開かば、我その内に入りて彼とともに食し、彼もまた我とともに食せん。
21 He that overcomes, to him will I give to sit with me in my throne; as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father in his throne.
勝を得る者には我とともに我が座位に坐することを許さん、我の勝を得しとき、我が父とともに其の御座に坐したるが如し。
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
耳ある者は御靈の諸 教會に言ひ給ふことを聽くべし」』
