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、
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to point out unto his servants the things which must needs come to pass with speed, —and he shewed them by signs, sending through his messenger, unto his servant 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 bare witness as to the word of God, and the witness of Jesus Christ, —whatsoever things he saw.
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。
Happy! he that readeth, and they who hear, the words of the prophecy, and keep the things, therein, written; for, the season, 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, unto the Seven Assemblies which are in Asia, Favour to you, and peace, from—Him who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, and from—The Seven Spirits which are 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 of the Dead, and The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us out of our sins with his blood, —
and he hath made us [to be] a kingdom—priests unto his God and Father, Unto him, be the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages. 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。
Lo! he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, such also as pierced him; and all the tribes of the land shall smite themselves for him. Yea! Amen.
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 A, and, the Z, saith the Lord, —the, God 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 partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.
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 came to be, in Spirit, in the Lord’s Day, and heard, behind me, a loud voice, as of 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—What thou seest, write in a scroll, and send unto the Seven Assemblies, —unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, —and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, —and unto 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 I turned round, to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold;
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 lamps, One like unto a Son of Man: —clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold,
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、
And his head and hair, white, like white wool—like snow, and, his eyes, 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, like unto glowing copper, as if in a furnace refined, and, his voice, like a 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, having in his right hand, seven stars, and, out of his mouth, a sharp, two-edged sword, going forth; and, his whole appearance, as when, the sun, shineth 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 dead, and he laid 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、
Write, therefore—what things thou hast seen and what they are; and what things are about to come to pass, after these things:
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 sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold: —The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies
