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 write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ 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 is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of 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。
And hereby we do 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 that saith, I know him, and keepeth not 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 whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we 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 that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even 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 unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have 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 unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
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 that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even 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 that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of 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 that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath 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 unto 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 unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye 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 unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye 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。
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love 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, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (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 end time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the end time.
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 no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all 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 ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye 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 unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye 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 that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth 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。
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.
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。
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even 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 have I written unto you concerning them that seduce 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 ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall 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 shall appear, 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 ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
