< ヨハネの黙示録 22 +
1 御使また水晶のごとく透徹れる生命の水の河を我に見せたり。この河は神と羔羊との御座より出でて都の大路の眞中を流る。
Then the angel showed me a pure river of the water of life, as bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 河の左右に生命の樹ありて十二 種の實を結び、その實は月 毎に生じ、その樹の葉は諸國の民を醫すなり。
In the middle of the city street, and on each side of the river, is the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3 今よりのち詛はるべき者は一つもなかるべし。神と羔羊との御座は都の中にあり。その僕らは之に事へ、
No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
4 且その御顏を見ん、その御名は彼らの額にあるべし。
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 今よりのち夜ある事なし、燈火の光をも日の光をも要せず、主なる神かれらを照し給へばなり。彼らは世々 限りなく王たるべし。 (aiōn )
There will be no night there, and they will not need any lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever. (aiōn )
6 彼また我に言ふ『これらの言は信ずべきなり、眞なり、預言者たちの靈魂の神たる主は、速かに起るべき事をその僕どもに示さんとて、御使を遣し給へるなり。
Then the angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.
7 視よ、われ速かに到らん、この書の預言の言を守る者は幸福なり』
“Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 これらの事を聞き、かつ見し者は我ヨハネなり。かくて見 聞せしとき我これらの事を示したる御使の足下に平伏して拜せんとせしに、
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.
9 かれ言ふ『つつしみて然すな、われは汝および汝の兄弟たる預言者、また此の書の言を守る者と等しく僕たるなり、なんじ神を拜せよ』
But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant of yoʋrs, and of yoʋr brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
10 また我に言ふ『この書の預言の言を封ずな、時 近ければなり。
Then he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
11 不義をなす者はいよいよ不義をなし不淨なる者はいよいよ不淨をなし、義なる者はいよいよ義をおこなひ、清き者はいよいよ清くすべし。
Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
12 視よ、われ報をもて速かに到らん、各人の行爲に隨ひて之を與ふべし。
“Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to repay each person according to their works.
13 我はアルパなり、オメガなり、最先なり、最後なり、始なり、終なり、
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14 おのが衣を洗ふ者は幸福なり、彼らは生命の樹にゆく權威を與へられ、門を通りて都に入ることを得るなり。
Blessed are those who keep his commandments, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates.
15 犬および咒術をなすもの、淫行のもの、人を殺すもの、偶像を拜する者、また凡て虚僞を愛して之を行ふ者は外にあり。
Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the fornicators, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 われイエスは我が使を遣して諸 教會のために此 等のことを汝らに證せり。我はダビデの萠蘗また其の裔なり、輝ける曙の明星なり』
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright morning star.”
17 御靈も新婦もいふ『來りたまへ』聞く者も言へ『きたり給へ』と、渇く者はきたれ、望む者は價なくして生命の水を受けよ。
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. And let anyone who wishes to do so take the water of life freely.
18 われ凡てこの書の預言の言を聞く者に證す。もし之に加ふる者あらば、神はこの書に記されたる苦難を彼に加へ給はん。
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues that are written in this book.
19 若しこの預言の書の言を省く者あらば、神はこの書に記されたる生命の樹、また聖なる都より彼の受くべき分を省き給はん。
If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are written about in this book.
20 これらの事を證する者いひ給ふ『然り、われ速かに到らん』アァメン、主イエスよ、來りたまへ。
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. So shall it be. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 願はくは主イエスの恩惠なんぢら凡ての者と偕に在らんことを。
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
