Revelation 1
1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to 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 testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything 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 who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
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 that 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 who 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, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and freed us from our sins by his 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 he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever 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 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn over 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 the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who 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, your brother and fellow-partner with you in persecution, kingdom, and patient endurance in Jesus, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
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 I heard behind me a loud voice, like 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, "What you see, write on a scroll and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to 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 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
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 among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
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 hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like 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 His feet were like burnished bronze, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice 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 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
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 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid. 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 therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen 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 you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. The seven lampstands are 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。
