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 Christ, which God gave to him, that he might show to his servants the things that must shortly come to pass; and he sent it by his angel, and made it known 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 testimony to the word of God, and recorded the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever things 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 reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.
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 that are in Asia, grace be to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and 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 Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loves us, and that has washed us from our sins in his own blood,
and has made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and might from age to age. 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 comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and those also who pierced him: and all the tribes of the land shall lament because of him. Even so. 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 the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
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 companion in the affliction, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
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 spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice like that of a trumpet,
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』
saying: What you see, 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 to see the voice that spoke with me: and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,
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 seven candlesticks, one like the Son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to his feet, and girded about the breast with a golden girdle.
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、
His head and his hair were white as white wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as 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, as if they burned in a furnace: and his voice was like the voice 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 out of his mouth went a sharp, two-edged sword: arid his face was as the sun when it shines 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 as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying: 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、
Write, therefore, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and those which shall 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 the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
