ヨハネの黙示録 1
1 イエズス、キリストの黙示、即ち必ず速に成るべき事を其僕等に明さしめんとて、神はイエズスに賜ひ、イエズス又其使を遣はして其僕ヨハネに示し給ひ、
Jesus Christ's revelation, which God gave Him to show to His slaves—things that must occur shortly. And He communicated it, sending it by His angel to His slave John,
2 ヨハネは神の御言を證し、又イエズス、キリストの證明し給ひし事、総て己が目撃せし事を證したるものなり。
who gave witness to the word of God, even the testimony of Jesus Christ—the things that He saw, both things that are and those that must happen after these.
3 此預言の言を読み且聞きて、是に録したる事を守る人は福なり、其は時近ければなり。
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; because the time is near.
4 ヨハネ[小]アジアにある七教會に[書簡を贈る]。願はくは現に在し、曾て在し、且來り給ふべきものより、又其玉座の前に在る七霊より、
John, to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and who was and who is coming, and from the sevenfold Spirit who is before His throne,
5 又イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と平安とを汝等に賜はらん事を。即ちイエズス、キリストは忠實なる證者、死者の中より先ちて生れ給ひしもの、地上の王等の君に在し、我等を愛し給ひ、御血を以て我等を罪より潔め給ひ、
and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins with His own blood
—indeed, He made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 看よ彼は雲に乗りて來り給ふ、凡ての目及び彼を刺貫きし人々も之を見ん、地上の萬民彼の故に歎かん。然り、アメン。
Take note, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts [in dismay] because of Him. Yea, verily!
8 現に在し、曾て在し、且來り給ふべき全能の神にて在す主曰く、我はアルファなり、オメガなり、始なり、終なり、と。
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “He who is and who was and who is coming, The Almighty.”
9 第一編 七教會に贈る書簡 汝等の兄弟にして、キリスト、イエズスに於て患難と國と忍耐とを共にせる我ヨハネ、神の御言の為、及びイエズスを證し奉らん為に、パトモスと云へる島に在りしが、
I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Christ Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 或主日に當り、氣を奪はるるが如くになりて、我後に喇叭の如き大いなる聲を聞けり、
I was in spirit on the Lord's day and I heard a voice behind me, loud as a trumpet,
11 曰く、汝見る所を書に記して、アジアなるエフェゾ、スミルナ、ベルガモ、チアチラ、サルヂス、フィラデルフィア、ラオヂケアの七教會に贈れ、と。
saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
12 我己に語れる聲を見んとて顧みしが、顧みれば七の金の燈台あり、七の金の燈台の中央に當りて人の子の如きものあり、
And there I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 足まで垂れたる衣を着し、胸に金の帯を締め給ひ、
and in the midst of the seven lampstands one similar to a son of man, clothed down to the feet and girded at the nipples with a golden belt.
14 御頭と髪毛とは白き羊の毛の如く又雪の如く白く、御目は燃ゆる焔の如く、
Now His head, that is His hair, was white, like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;
15 兩の御足は熱き炉に於る青銅の如く、御聲は大水の音の如く、
and His feet were like fine brass, as when refined in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters;
16 右の御手には七の星を持ち給ひ、御口より兩刃の利き剣を出し、御顔は日盛に照輝ける太陽の如し。
and He had seven stars on His right hand and a sharp two-edged sword coming out of His mouth; and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 我之を見るや、死せるが如く御足下に倒れしが、右の御手を我に觸けて曰ひけるは、懼るる勿れ、我は最初のものにして又最終のものなり、
And when I saw Him I fell at His feet as if dead. And He placed His right hand upon me saying: “Do not fear. I am the First and the Last,
19 然れば汝が既に見し事、現にある事、此後あるべき事、
Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are going to occur after these.
20 又我右の手に見し七の星の奥義と、七の金の燈台の奥義とを書記せ、七の星は七教會の天使にして、七の燈台は七教會なり。
The mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands that you saw are seven churches.
