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。
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。
I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like 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、
I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and 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. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any 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』
He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God 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。
He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty 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。
He who overcomes, I will give him these things. 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』
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
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。
He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed 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 light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, 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。
having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children 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 were 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。
The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on 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。
He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its 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 is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height 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。
Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
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 construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like 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 city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. 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 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。
The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like 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。
I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the 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。
The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is 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。
The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
25 都の門は終日 閉ぢず（此處に夜あることなし）
Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for 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 they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
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。
There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
