ヨハネの黙示録 1
1 これイエス・キリストの默示なり。即ち、かならず速かに起るべき事を、その僕どもに顯させんとて、神の彼に與へしものなるを、彼その使を僕ヨハネに遣して示し給へるなり。
THE Revelation of Jesus the Messiah, which God gave to him, to show to his servants the things that must shortly occur: and he signified it by sending, through his angel, to his servant John;
2 ヨハネは神の言とイエス・キリストの證とに就きて、その見しところを悉とく證せり。
who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus the Messiah, as to all that he saw.
3 此の預言の言を讀む者と之を聽きて其の中に録されたることを守る者どもとは幸福なり、時 近ければなり。
Blessed is he that readeth, and they who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is near.
4 ヨハネ書をアジヤに在る七つの教會に贈る。願はくは今 在し、昔 在し、後 來りたまふ者、および其の御座の前にある七つの靈、
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and quietude, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 また忠實なる證人、死人の中より最先に生れ給ひしもの、地の諸 王の君なるイエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。願はくは我らを愛し、その血をもて我らを罪より解放ち、
and from Jesus the Messiah, the Witness, the Faithful, the First-born of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth; who hath loved us, and released us from our sins by his blood;
and hath made us a kingdom sacerdotal to God and his Father: to whom be glory and power, for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 視よ、彼は雲の中にありて來りたまふ、諸衆の目、殊に彼を刺したる者これを見ん、かつ地上の諸族みな彼の故に歎かん、然り、アァメン。
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and all eyes shall see him, and also they who speared him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn on account of him. Yes: Amen.
8 今いまし、昔いまし、後きたり給ふ主なる全能の神いひ給ふ『我はアルパなり、オメガなり』
I am Alpha, also Omega, saith the Lord God; who is, and was, and is to come, the omnipotent.
9 汝らの兄弟にして汝らと共にイエスの艱難と國と忍耐とに與る我ヨハネ、神の言とイエスの證との爲にパトモスといふ島に在りき。
I John, your brother, and partaker with you in the affliction and suffering that are in Jesus the Messiah, was in the island called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus the Messiah.
10 われ主日に御靈に感じゐたるに、我が後にラッパのごとき大なる聲を聞けり。
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, which said:
11 曰く『なんぢの見る所のことを書に録して、エペソ、スミルナ、ペルガモ、テアテラ、サルデス、ヒラデルヒヤ、ラオデキヤに在る七つの教會に贈れ』
That which thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 われ振反りて我に語る聲を見んとし、振反り見れば七つの金の燈臺あり。
And I turned myself to look at the voice that talked with me; and when I had turned, I saw seven candlesticks of gold;
13 また燈臺の間に人の子のごとき者ありて、足まで垂るる衣を著、胸に金の帶を束ね、
and, in the midst of the candlesticks, one like the Son of man, clothed to the feet, and girded about his paps with a girdle of gold.
14 その頭と頭髮とは白き毛のごとく雪のごとく白く、その目は焔のごとく、
And his head and his hair were white, like white wool, like snow; and his eyes, like a flame of fire:
15 その足は爐にて燒きたる輝ける眞鍮のごとく、その聲は衆の水の聲のごとし。
and his feet were like fine brass, flaming in a furnace: and his voice, like the sound of many waters.
16 その右の手に七つの星を持ち、その口より兩刃の利き劍いで、その顏は烈しく照る日のごとし。
And he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth issued a sharp twoedged sword; and his visage was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 我これを見しとき其の足下に倒れて死にたる者の如くなれり。彼その右の手を我に按きて言ひたまふ『懼るな、我は最先なり、最後なり、
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;
19 されば汝が見しことと今あることと、後に成らんとする事とを録せ、
Therefore, write what thou hast seen, and the things that are; and the things that are to be hereafter:
20 即ち汝が見しところの我が右の手にある七つの星と七つの金の燈臺との奧義なり。七つの星は七つの教會の使にして、七つの燈臺は七つの教會なり。
the mystery of these seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven candlesticks of gold. Those seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
