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、
A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify [it], having sent through his messenger to 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 did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see.
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 is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it — for the time is nigh!
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 assemblies that [are] in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that 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 first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood,
and did make us kings and priests to his God and Father, to him [is] the glory and the power to the ages of 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 doth come with the clouds, and see him shall every eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! 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 Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, saith the Lord, 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, who also [am] your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because 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 the Spirit on the Lord's-day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying,
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。
'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;' and, 'What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and 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 I did turn to see the voice that did speak with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands,
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 lamp-stands, [one] like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle,
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 hairs white, as if white wool — as snow, and his eyes as 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 to fine brass, as in a furnace having been fired, and his voice as 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 is proceeding, and his countenance [is] as the sun shining in its might.
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 did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, 'Be not afraid; 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 the things that thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come 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 secret of the seven stars that thou hast seen upon my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lamp-stands that thou hast seen are seven assemblies.
