Revelation 1
1 THE Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
これイエス・キリストの默示なり。即ち、かならず速かに起るべき事を、その僕どもに顯させんとて、神の彼に與へしものなるを、彼その使を僕ヨハネに遣して示し給へるなり。
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
ヨハネは神の言とイエス・キリストの證とに就きて、その見しところを悉とく證せり。
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
此の預言の言を讀む者と之を聽きて其の中に録されたることを守る者どもとは幸福なり、時 近ければなり。
4 JOHN to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
ヨハネ書をアジヤに在る七つの教會に贈る。願はくは今 在し、昔 在し、後 來りたまふ者、および其の御座の前にある七つの靈、
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
また忠實なる證人、死人の中より最先に生れ給ひしもの、地の諸 王の君なるイエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。願はくは我らを愛し、その血をもて我らを罪より解放ち、
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
われらを其の父なる神のために國民となし祭司となし給へる者に、世々 限りなく榮光と權力とあらんことを、アァメン。 (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
視よ、彼は雲の中にありて來りたまふ、諸衆の目、殊に彼を刺したる者これを見ん、かつ地上の諸族みな彼の故に歎かん、然り、アァメン。
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
今いまし、昔いまし、後きたり給ふ主なる全能の神いひ給ふ『我はアルパなり、オメガなり』
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
汝らの兄弟にして汝らと共にイエスの艱難と國と忍耐とに與る我ヨハネ、神の言とイエスの證との爲にパトモスといふ島に在りき。
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
われ主日に御靈に感じゐたるに、我が後にラッパのごとき大なる聲を聞けり。
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
曰く『なんぢの見る所のことを書に録して、エペソ、スミルナ、ペルガモ、テアテラ、サルデス、ヒラデルヒヤ、ラオデキヤに在る七つの教會に贈れ』
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
われ振反りて我に語る聲を見んとし、振反り見れば七つの金の燈臺あり。
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
また燈臺の間に人の子のごとき者ありて、足まで垂るる衣を著、胸に金の帶を束ね、
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
その頭と頭髮とは白き毛のごとく雪のごとく白く、その目は焔のごとく、
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
その足は爐にて燒きたる輝ける眞鍮のごとく、その聲は衆の水の聲のごとし。
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
その右の手に七つの星を持ち、その口より兩刃の利き劍いで、その顏は烈しく照る日のごとし。
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
我これを見しとき其の足下に倒れて死にたる者の如くなれり。彼その右の手を我に按きて言ひたまふ『懼るな、我は最先なり、最後なり、
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
されば汝が見しことと今あることと、後に成らんとする事とを録せ、
20 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 which thou sawest are the seven churches.
即ち汝が見しところの我が右の手にある七つの星と七つの金の燈臺との奧義なり。七つの星は七つの教會の使にして、七つの燈臺は七つの教會なり。
