< ヨハネの手紙第一 2 >

1 わが若子よ、これらの事を書き贈るは、汝らが罪を犯さざらん爲なり。人もし罪を犯さば、我等のために父の前に助主あり、即ち義なるイエス・キリストなり。
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Yahushua the Messiah the righteous.
2 彼は我らの罪のために宥の供物たり、啻に我らの爲のみならず、また全世界の爲なり。
And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
3 我らその誡命を守らば、之によりて彼を知ることを自ら悟る。
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
4 『われ彼を知る』と言ひて其の誡命を守らぬ者は僞 者にして眞理その衷になし。
He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 その御言を守る者は誠に神の愛、その衷に全うせらる。之によりて我ら彼に在ることを悟る。
But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of YHWH is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
6 彼に居ると言ふ者は、彼の歩み給ひしごとく自ら歩むべきなり。
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
7 愛する者よ、わが汝らに書き贈るは、新しき誡命にあらず、汝らが初より有てる舊き誡命なり。この舊き誡命は汝らが聞きし所の言なり。
Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
8 然れど我が汝らに書き贈るところは、また新しき誡命にして、主にも汝らにも眞なり、その故は眞の光すでに照りて、暗黒はややに過ぎ去ればなり。
Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 光に在りと言ひて其の兄弟を憎むものは、今もなほ暗黒にあるなり。
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.
10 その兄弟を愛する者は、光に居りて顛躓その衷になし。
He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
11 その兄弟を憎む者は暗黒にあり、暗きうちを歩みて己が往くところを知らず、これ暗黒はその眼を矇したればなり。
But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 若子よ、我この書を汝らに贈るは、なんぢら主の御名によりて罪を赦されたるに因る。
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.
13 父たちよ、我この書を汝らに贈るは、汝ら太初より在す者を知りたるに因る。若き者よ、我この書を汝らに贈るは、なんぢら惡しき者に勝ちたるに因る。子供よ、我この書を汝らに贈りたるは、汝ら御父を知りたるに因る。
I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 父たちよ、我この書を汝らに贈りたるは、汝ら太初より在す者を知りたるに因る。若き者よ、我この書を汝らに贈りたるは、汝ら強くかつ神の言その衷に留り、また惡しき者に勝ちたるに因る。
I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of YHWH abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 なんぢら世をも世にある物をも愛すな。人もし世を愛せば、御父を愛する愛その衷になし。
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 おほよそ世にあるもの、即ち肉の慾、眼の慾、所有の誇などは、御父より出づるにあらず、世より出づるなり。
For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world.
17 世と世の慾とは過ぎ往く、されど神の御意をおこなふ者は永遠に在るなり。 (aiōn g165)
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of YHWH abides forever. (aiōn g165)
18 子供よ、今は末の時なり、汝らが非キリスト來らんと聞きしごとく、今や非キリスト多く起れり、之によりて我等その末の時なるを知る。
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the AntiMessiah is coming, even now many antiMessiahs have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
19 彼らは我等より出でゆきたれど、固より我等のものに非ざりき。我らの屬ならば、我らと共に留りしならん。されどその出でゆきしは、皆われらの屬ならぬことの顯れん爲なり。
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
20 汝らは聖なる者より油を注がれたれば、凡ての事を知る。
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 我この書を汝らに贈るは、汝ら眞理を知らぬ故にあらず、眞理を知り、かつ凡ての虚僞の眞理より出でぬことを知るに因る。
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 僞 者は誰なるか、イエスのキリストなるを否む者にあらずや。御父と御子とを否む者は非キリストなり。
Who is a liar but he who denies that Yahushua is the Messiah? He is antiMessiah who denies the Father and the Son.
23 凡そ御子を否む者は御父をも有たず、御子を言ひあらはす者は御父をも有つなり。
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 初より聞きし所を汝らの衷に居らしめよ。初より聞きしところ汝らの衷に居らば、汝らも御子と御父とに居らん。
Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
25 我らに約し給ひし約束は是なり、即ち永遠の生命なり。 (aiōnios g166)
And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 汝らを惑す者どもに就きて我これらの事を書き贈る。
These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.
27 なんぢらの衷には、主より注がれたる油とどまる故に、人の汝らに物を教ふる要なし。此の油は汝らに凡ての事を教へ、かつ眞にして虚僞なし、汝 等はその教へしごとく主に居るなり。
But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
28 されば若子よ、主に居れ。これ主の現れ給ふときに臆することなく、其の來り給ふときに恥づることなからん爲なり。
And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 なんぢら主を正しと知らば、凡て正義をおこなふ者の主より生れたることを知らん。
If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
