ヨハネの黙示録 21
1 我また新しき天と新しき地とを見たり。これ前の天と前の地とは過ぎ去り、海も亦なきなり。
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
2 我また聖なる都、新しきエルサレムの、夫のために飾りたる新婦のごとく準備して、神の許をいで、天より降るを見たり。
I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 また大なる聲の御座より出づるを聞けり。曰く『視よ、神の幕屋、人と偕にあり、神、人と偕に住み、人、神の民となり、神みづから人と偕に在して、
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.
4 かれらの目の涙をことごとく拭ひ去り給はん。今よりのち死もなく、悲歎も號叫も苦痛もなかるべし。前のもの既に過ぎ去りたればなり』
‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 かくて御座に坐し給ふもの言ひたまふ『視よ、われ一切のものを新にするなり』また言ひたまふ『書き記せ、これらの言は信ずべきなり、眞なり』
And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.”
6 また我に言ひたまふ『事すでに成れり、我はアルパなり、オメガなり、始なり、終なり、渇く者には價なくして生命の水の泉より飮むことを許さん。
And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.
7 勝を得る者は此 等のものを嗣がん、我はその神となり、彼は我が子とならん。
The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.
9 最後の七つの苦難の滿ちたる七つの鉢を持てる七人の御使の一人きたり、我に語りて言ふ『來れ、われ羔羊の妻なる新婦を汝に見せん』
Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 御使、御靈に感じたる我を携へて大なる高き山にゆき、聖なる都エルサレムの、神の榮光をもて神の許を出でて天より降るを見せたり。
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
11 その都の光輝はいと貴き玉のごとく、透徹る碧玉のごとし。
shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal.
12 此處に大なる高き石垣ありて十二の門あり、門の側らに一人づつ十二の御使あり、門の上に一つづつイスラエルの子孫の十二の族の名を記せり。
The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.
13 東に三つの門、北に三つの門、南に三つの門、西に三つの門あり。
There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
14 都の石垣には十二の基あり、これに羔羊の十二の使徒の十二の名を記せり。
The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 我と語る者は都と門と石垣とを測らん爲に金の間竿を持てり。
The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.
16 都は方形にして、その長さ廣さ相 均し。彼は間竿にて都を測りしに一千 二百 町あり、長さ廣さ高さみな相 均し。
The city lies foursquare, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height.
17 また石垣を測りしに、人の度すなはち御使の度に據れば百 四十 四 尺あり。
And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.
18 石垣は碧玉にて築き、都は清らかなる玻璃のごとき純金にて造れり。
The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass.
19 都の石垣の基はさまざまの寶石にて飾れり。第一の基は碧玉、第二は瑠璃、第三は玉髓、第四は緑玉、
The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone: The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 第五は紅縞 瑪瑙、第六は赤瑪瑙、第七は貴橄欖石、第八は緑柱石、第九は黄玉石、第十は緑玉髓、第十 一は青玉、第十二は紫 水晶なり。
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21 十二の門は十二の眞珠なり、おのおのの門は一つの眞珠より成り、都の大路は透徹る玻璃のごとき純金なり。
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.
22 われ都の内にて宮を見ざりき、主なる全能の神および羔羊はその宮なり。
But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 都は日月の照すを要せず、神の榮光これを照し、羔羊はその燈火なり。
And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 諸國の民は都の光のなかを歩み、地の王たちは己が光榮を此處にたづさへきたる。
By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.
25 都の門は終日 閉ぢず（此處に夜あることなし）
Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.
26 人々は諸國の民の光榮と尊貴とを此處にたづさえ來らん。
And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.
27 凡て穢れたる者また憎むべき事と虚僞とを行ふ者は、此處に入らず、羔羊の生命の書に記されたる者のみ此處に入るなり。
But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
