Revelation 21
1 Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away; and the sea has ceased to be.
我また新しき天と新しき地とを見たり。これ前の天と前の地とは過ぎ去り、海も亦なきなり。
2 And I saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending new out of Heaven from God, like a bride adorned in readiness for her husband.
我また聖なる都、新しきエルサレムの、夫のために飾りたる新婦のごとく準備して、神の許をいで、天より降るを見たり。
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said — ‘See! the Tabernacle of God is set up among men. God will dwell among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,
また大なる聲の御座より出づるを聞けり。曰く『視よ、神の幕屋、人と偕にあり、神、人と偕に住み、人、神の民となり、神みづから人と偕に在して、
4 and he will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, nor will there be any more grief or crying or pain. The old order has passed away.’
かれらの目の涙をことごとく拭ひ去り給はん。今よりのち死もなく、悲歎も號叫も苦痛もなかるべし。前のもの既に過ぎ去りたればなり』
5 And he who was seated on the throne said — ‘See, I make all things new!’ And he said — ‘Write this, for these words may be trusted and are true.’
かくて御座に坐し給ふもの言ひたまふ『視よ、われ一切のものを新にするなり』また言ひたまふ『書き記せ、これらの言は信ずべきなり、眞なり』
6 And he said to me — ‘They are fulfilled. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the spring of the Water of Life, freely.
また我に言ひたまふ『事すでに成れり、我はアルパなり、オメガなり、始なり、終なり、渇く者には價なくして生命の水の泉より飮むことを許さん。
7 He who conquers shall enter into possession of these things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son.
勝を得る者は此 等のものを嗣がん、我はその神となり、彼は我が子とならん。
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and were laden with the seven last Curses, came and spoke to me. ‘Come here,’ he said, ‘and I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb.’
最後の七つの苦難の滿ちたる七つの鉢を持てる七人の御使の一人きたり、我に語りて言ふ『來れ、われ羔羊の妻なる新婦を汝に見せん』
10 He carried me away in a trance to a great high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, descending out of Heaven from God, filled with the glory of God.
御使、御靈に感じたる我を携へて大なる高き山にゆき、聖なる都エルサレムの、神の榮光をもて神の許を出でて天より降るを見せたり。
11 Its brilliance was like that of some very precious stone, like a jasper, transparent as crystal.
その都の光輝はいと貴き玉のごとく、透徹る碧玉のごとし。
12 It had a great high wall, in which were twelve gates; and at these gates there were twelve angels, and there were names inscribed on the gates, the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites.
此處に大なる高き石垣ありて十二の門あり、門の側らに一人づつ十二の御使あり、門の上に一つづつイスラエルの子孫の十二の族の名を記せり。
13 ‘There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.’
東に三つの門、北に三つの門、南に三つの門、西に三つの門あり。
14 The wall of the City had twelve foundation stones, on which were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
都の石垣には十二の基あり、これに羔羊の十二の使徒の十二の名を記せり。
15 And the angel who was speaking to me had as a measure a gold rod, with which to measure the City and its gates and its wall.
我と語る者は都と門と石垣とを測らん爲に金の間竿を持てり。
16 The City is square; the length and the breadth are the same. The angel measured with his rod; it was twelve hundred miles; its length, and breadth, and height are equal.
都は方形にして、その長さ廣さ相 均し。彼は間竿にて都を測りしに一千 二百 町あり、長さ廣さ高さみな相 均し。
17 Then he measured the wall; it was two hundred and eighty-eight feet, as men measure, that is as the angel measured.
また石垣を測りしに、人の度すなはち御使の度に據れば百 四十 四 尺あり。
18 The material of the wall of the City was jasper, and the City was built of pure gold, which shone like clear glass.
石垣は碧玉にて築き、都は清らかなる玻璃のごとき純金にて造れり。
19 The foundations of the wall of the City were ornamented with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;
都の石垣の基はさまざまの寶石にて飾れり。第一の基は碧玉、第二は瑠璃、第三は玉髓、第四は緑玉、
20 the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a carnelian; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprase; the eleventh a hyacinth; and the twelfth an amethyst.
第五は紅縞 瑪瑙、第六は赤瑪瑙、第七は貴橄欖石、第八は緑柱石、第九は黄玉石、第十は緑玉髓、第十 一は青玉、第十二は紫 水晶なり。
21 The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, each gate of one pearl. The street of the City was of pure gold, transparent as glass.
十二の門は十二の眞珠なり、おのおのの門は一つの眞珠より成り、都の大路は透徹る玻璃のごとき純金なり。
22 And I saw no Temple there, for the Lord, our God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are its Temple.
われ都の内にて宮を見ざりき、主なる全能の神および羔羊はその宮なり。
23 The City has no need of ‘the sun or the moon to shine upon it, for the Glory of God illuminated it,’ and its Lamp was the Lamb.
都は日月の照すを要せず、神の榮光これを照し、羔羊はその燈火なり。
24 ‘The nations walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
諸國の民は都の光のなかを歩み、地の王たちは己が光榮を此處にたづさへきたる。
25 Its gates will never be shut by day,’ and there will be no night there.
都の門は終日 閉ぢず（此處に夜あることなし）
26 And men will bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
人々は諸國の民の光榮と尊貴とを此處にたづさえ來らん。
27 ‘Never shall any unhallowed thing enter it,’ nor he whose life is shameful and false, but only ‘those whose names have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.’
凡て穢れたる者また憎むべき事と虚僞とを行ふ者は、此處に入らず、羔羊の生命の書に記されたる者のみ此處に入るなり。
