ヨハネの手紙第二 1
1 長老は選を蒙りたる夫人及び其子等、即ち我並に、啻我のみならず、総て眞理を識れる人も亦、
The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,
because the truth which dwells in us shall be with us for eternity. (aiōn g165)
3 願はくは恩寵と慈悲と平安とが、父にて在す神及び父の御子イエズス、キリストより賜はりて、眞理及び愛に於て汝等と共に在らん事を。
May grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
4 我汝の子等の中に、我等が父より掟を受け奉りし如くに歩める者あるを認めて、甚だ喜べり。
I was very glad because I discovered some of your sons walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment from the Father.
5 夫人よ、今新しき掟を書贈るものとせず、之を初より受けたるものとして相愛せん事を汝に冀ふ。
And now I petition you, Lady, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but instead that commandment which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
6 愛とは我等が其御掟に從ひて歩むべき事是なり。御掟とは即汝等が初より聞きたるがままに歩むべきもの是なり。
And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that you have heard in the same way from the beginning, and in which you should walk.
7 蓋肉體にて來り給ふイエズス、キリストを宣言せざる、多くの誘惑者世に出でたり、是ぞ誘惑者にして又非キリストなる。
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh. Such a one as this is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 汝等己に省みて、我等が曾て働きし所を失はず、充満せる報酬を受くる様にせよ。
Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.
9 総てキリストの教に止らずして退く者は神を有し奉らず、教に止る者は父及び御子を有し奉る。
Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.
10 若汝等に至る者にして、此教を齎す事なくば、之を家に入るる事なく、之に挨拶すること勿れ。
If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not be willing to receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.
11 其は之に挨拶する人は、其惡しき業に與ればなり。
For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.
12 書贈るべき事尚多くあれども、我は紙と墨とを以てするを好まず、是汝等の喜の全からん為に、汝等の中に在りて口づから語らん事を希望すればなり。
I have much more to write to you, but I am not willing to do so through paper and ink. For I hope that I may be with you in the future, and that I may speak face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 選を蒙りたる汝の姉妹の子等、汝に宜しくと言へり。
The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.
