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。
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for, the first heaven and the first earth, have passed away, and, the sea, is 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。
And, the holy city, new Jerusalem, saw I 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 out of the throne, saying—Lo! the tent of God, is with men, and he will tabernacle with them, and, they, shall be, his peoples, and, he, shall be, God with them;
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』
And he will wipe away every tear out of their eyes, —and, death, shall be no more, and grief and outcry and pain shall be no more: the first 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 he that was sitting upon the throne said— Lo! I make all things, new. And he saith—Write! because, 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 said unto me—Accomplished! I, am the A, and the Z, the Beginning and the End: I, unto him that is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of life, freely:
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。
He that overcometh, shall inherit these things, —And I will be, to him, a God, and, he, shall be, to me, a 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』
And there came one of the seven messengers which had the seven bowls, that were full of the seven last plagues, and spake with me, saying— Hither! I will point out to thee 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 spirit, unto a mountain great and high, and pointed out to me the holy city, 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。
having the glory of God, —her lustre, like unto a stone most precious, as a jasper stone, shining 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。
having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and, at the gates, twelve messengers, and names inscribed, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel, —
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。
on the east, three gates, and, on the north, three gates, and, on the south, three gates, and, on the west, three gates;
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。
and, the wall of the city, having twelve foundations, and, upon them, twelve 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。
And, he that was talking with me, had, for a measure, a reed of gold, that he might measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
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。
And, the city, four-square, lieth, and, the length thereof, is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city, with the reed, —twelve thousand furlongs: the length, and the breadth, and the height thereof, are, equal.
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 the wall thereof, —a hundred and forty-four cubits: the measure of a man, which is [the measure] of a messenger.
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。
And, the structure of the wall thereof, was jasper, and, the city, was pure gold, like unto pure 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 wall of the city, with every precious stone were adorned: 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, sardius, the seventh, chrysolite, the eighth, beryl, the ninth, topaz, the tenth, chrysoprase, the eleventh, hyacinth, 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, —each one of the gates, severally, was of one pearl; and, the broadway of the city, was pure gold, as transparent 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。
And, sanctuary, saw I none therein; for, the Lord, God, the Almighty, is the sanctuary thereof, and the Lamb.
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, hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they should shine therein; for, the glory of God, illumined it, and, the lamp thereof, was the Lamb.
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。
And the nations, shall walk, through her light; and, the kings of the earth, do bring their glory into it,
25 都の門は終日 閉ぢず（此處に夜あることなし）
and, the gates thereof, shall in nowise be shut, by day, —night, in fact, shall not be 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 they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it.
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。
And in nowise shall there enter into it, anything common, or he that doeth abomination and falsehood, —but only they who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
