ヨハネの手紙第二 1
1 長老、書を選ばれたる婦人および其の子供に贈る。われ眞をもて汝らを愛す。啻に我のみならず、凡て眞理を知る者はみな汝らを愛す。
THE ELDER to the elect Lady, and her children, whom I loue in the trueth: and not I onely, but also all that haue knowen the trueth,
For the trueths sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe with vs for euer: (aiōn g165)
3 父なる神および父の子イエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と憐憫と平安とは、眞と愛との中にて我らと偕にあらん。
Grace be with you, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ the Sonne of the Father, with trueth and loue.
4 われ汝の子供のうちに、我らが父より誡命を受けし如く、眞理に循ひて歩む者あるを見て甚だ喜べり。
I reioyced greatly, that I founde of thy children walking in trueth, as we haue receiued a commandement of the Father.
5 婦人よ、われ今なんぢに願ふは、我らが互に相 愛すべき事なり。これは新しき誡命を書き贈るにあらず、我らが初より有てる誡命なり。
And nowe beseeche I thee, Lady, (not as writing a newe commandement vnto thee, but that same which we had from the beginning) that we loue one another.
6 彼の誡命に循ひて歩むは即ち愛なり、汝らが初より聞きしごとく、愛に歩むは即ち誡命なり。
And this is that loue, that we should walke after his commandements. This commandement is, that as ye haue heard from the beginning, ye should walke in it.
7 人を惑すもの多く世にいで、イエス・キリストの肉體にて來り給ひしことを言ひ表さず、かかる者は人を惑す者にして、非キリストなり。
For many deceiuers are entred into this worlde, which confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh. He that is such one, is a deceiuer and an Antichrist.
8 なんぢら我らが働きし所を空しくせず、滿ち足れる報を得んために自ら心せよ。
Looke to your selues, that we lose not the things which we haue done, but that we may receiue full reward.
9 凡そキリストの教に居らずして、之を越えゆく者は神を有たず、キリストの教にをる者は父と子とを有つなり。
Whosoeuer transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne.
10 人もし此の教を有たずして汝らに來らば、之を家に入るな、安かれと言ふな。
If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not to house, neither bid him, God speede:
11 之に安かれと言ふ者は、その惡しき行爲に與するなり。
For he that biddeth him, God speede, is partaker of his euill deedes.
12 我なほ汝らに書き贈ること多くあれど、紙と墨とにてするを好まず、我らの歡喜を充さんために汝 等にいたり、顏をあわせて語らんことを望む。
Although I had many things to write vnto you, yet I woulde not write with paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, and speake mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full.
13 選ばれたる汝の姉妹の子供、なんぢに安否を問ふ。
The sonnes of thine elect sister greete thee, Amen.
