ヨハネの黙示録 3
1 又サルジス教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、神の七霊と七の星とを持ち給へるもの曰く、我は汝の業を知れり、即ち汝は活くるの名ありて而も死せるなり、
And by the messenger of the congregation in Sardis, write: These things says he who has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name that you live, but are dead.
2 警戒して将に死せんとする殘を堅固ならしめよ、其は我汝の業が我神の御前に円満ならざるを認むればなり。
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, which are ready to die: for I have not found your works filled up in the sight of God.
3 然れば汝曾て受けし所聞きし所の如何なりしかを思起し、之を守りて改心せよ、汝警戒せずんば、我盗人の如く汝の許に至るべく、汝は其何れの時に至るかを知らじ。
Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and reform: therefore, unless you are watchful, I will come upon you as thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
4 然りながらサルジスに於て己が衣裳を汚さざりしもの、汝等の中に數人あり、彼等は白衣を着て我と共に歩まん、其は之に値する者なればなり。
But you have a few names in Sardis, who have not polluted their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 勝利を得たる人は斯の如く白衣を着せらるべく、我其名を生命の名簿より消さず、我父の御前にも其使等の前にも、彼の名を宣告すべし。
As for the conqueror, he shall be clothed in white apparel; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life; but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會の曰ふ所を聞け。
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
7 又フィラデルフィア教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、聖にして信實にて在すもの、ダヴィドの鍵を有し給ひて、開き給へば誰も閉づる事なく、閉ぢ給へば誰も開く事なきもの曰く、
And by the messenger of the congregation in Philadelphia, write: These things says the Holy One, the True One; who has the key, the Son of David; he who opens and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens:
8 我は汝の業を知れり。看よ、誰も閉ぢ得ざる門を我汝の前に開き置けり、其は汝力乏しと雖も、我言を守りて我名を否まざりし故なり。
I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; because you have little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
9 看よ我サタン教會の中より、自らユデア人と稱しつつ然らずして僞れる人々を與ふ、看よ、我彼等をして至りて汝の足下に拝伏せしむべく、斯て彼等は我が汝を愛したる事を知るべし。
Behold, I will give of those--who are of the assembly of Satan; who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold--I will make them to come and worship before your feet; and they shall know that I have loved you.
10 汝わが忍耐の言を守りし故に、我も亦汝を守りて、地上に住める人々を試みん為に全世界に來るべき試の時に之を免かれしめん。
Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try the inhabitants of the earth.
11 看よ我速に至る、汝が既に有てるものを保ちて、汝の冠を誰にも奪はるる事勿れ。
I come quickly: keep that which you have, that no man take your crown.
12 我勝利を得たる人をして我神の聖殿に於る柱たらしめん、斯て彼は最早外に出づる事なかるべく、我彼の上に書記すに、我神の御名と我神の都、即ち天より降だれる新しきエルザレムの名と、我が新しき名とを以てすべし。
As for the conqueror, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more: and I will inscribe upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is to come down from heaven, from my God; and my new name.
13 耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會に曰ふ所を聞け。
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
14 又ラオディケア教會の天使に斯く書遣れ、アメンなるもの、神の造物の最初にして、忠信眞實にて在せる證者曰く、
And by the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea, write: These things says the AMEN, the Faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
15 我汝の業を知れり、即ち汝は冷かなるにも非ず熱きにも非ざるなり、寧冷かに或は熱くあらばや。
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish you were either cold or hot.
16 然れど汝は冷かにも熱くも非ずして温きが故に、我は汝を口より吐出さんとす。
Therefore, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 蓋汝自ら、我は富めり、豊かにして乏しき所なし、と言ひつつ、其實は不幸にして憫むべく、且貧しく且瞽にして且赤裸なるを知らざるなり。
Because you say, I am wealthy, and have enriched myself, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wreatched and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18 我汝に勧む、火にて験されし金を、富まん為に我より買へ、又身に纏ひて汝が赤裸の恥を顕さざらん為に、白き衣裳を買へ、又見る事を得ん為に、汝の目に目薬を塗れ。
I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white apparel, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye-salve, that you may see.
19 我は我が愛する人々を責め且懲らすなり、然れば奮發して改心せよ。
As many as I love, I reprove and correct; therefore, be zealous, and reform.
20 看よ、我門前に立ちて敲く、我聲を聞きて我に門を開く人あらば、我其内に入りて彼と晩餐を共にし、彼も亦我と共にすべし。
Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will enter into his house, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 勝利を得たる人をして、我玉座に我と共に坐するを得しめん事、猶我が勝利を得て我父と共に其玉座に坐せるが如くなるべし。
As for the conqueror, I will give him to sit down with me upon my throne; as I also have conquered, and sat down with my Father upon his throne.
22 耳ある者は[聖]霊の諸教會に曰ふ所を聞け、と曰へり。
Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
