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 children, I am writing this to you that you may not continue to sin; but if any one sin, we ever have a Comforter before 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 those 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。
This is how we may know that we have come to know Him, by always keeping 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," but does no continue obeying his commandments, is a liar,
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。
and the truth is not in him; bit if any man obey his word, in him truly is the love of God made perfect. By this we come to 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。
By who says he "remains in him" ought to spend his life as he spent his.
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。
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, nay, and old commandment, which you have had from the beginning. That old commandment is the message to which you have listened.
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。
Yet again it is a new commandment which I am writing to you, which is true in him and is 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 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。
But he who loves his brother is abiding in the light, and in it there is no cause of stumbling.
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 the darkness, and is spending his life in the 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 am writing to you, little children, because you 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 am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have fully overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have learned to know 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 learned to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is abiding in you, and you have fully overcome the Evil 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 proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;
and the world and its lusts are passing away, but he who ever does the will of God 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。
My children, this is the last hour, and as you have heard that an antichrist was coming, and now many antichrists are already risen, whence we may 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 came forth from us, but they did not belong to us. If they had belonged to us they would certainly have remained with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they all are not 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。
Now 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 am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know 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 the liar if not the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, even he who disowns 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, the same has not the Father; but he who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you.
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。
If what you have heard from the beginning is abiding in you, you also will ever abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he has promised to us even life eternal. (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。
I have written this to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
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。
As to you, the unction you received from him remains ever in you, and you need no teaching from any one. But since his unction teaches you concerning all things and is true, and is no lie, abide continually in him, as it has taught you to do.
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 continue to abide in him, my children, so that when he shall appear we may have cheerful 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 also that every one who habitually practises righteousness has been born of him.
