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, to show to his servants what must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel 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 witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, —of whatever 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 readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein; 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 which 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, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
and made us a kingdom, priests to God his Father, to him be the glory and the dominion for ever. 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 cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail 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, saith the Lord God, he 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 kingdom and endurance in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, on account of the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus.
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 the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a loud voice, as 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 thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardes, 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 was speaking 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 candlesticks one like to a son of man, clothed with a garment reaching down to the feet, and girded at the breasts 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 hairs were white as white wool, 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 burning in a furnace; and his voice was as the sound 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; and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his 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 on 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 thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after these;
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 thou sawest 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.
