The first Noel, the angel did say,
「初めてのノエル」天使は言えり
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
羊を養えし草原にて
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
貧しき羊飼いたちへ
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
深き深き、寒き冬の夜に
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
ノエル、ノエル、ノエル、ノエル
Born is the King of Israel.
イスラエルの王は生まれし
They looked up and saw a star
空を見上げし羊飼いら、一つ星を見し
Shining in the East, beyond them far;
羊飼いの遥か彼方、東の空に輝けり
And to the earth it gave great light,
星は光り輝き、地を照らし
And so it continued both day and night.
昼も夜も、光り輝けり
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
ノエル、ノエル、ノエル、ノエル
Born is the King of Israel.
イスラエルの王は生まれし
And by the light of that same star,
星の輝き頼りて
Three wise men came from country far;
三方の賢者、彼方より来たれり
To seek for a King was their intent,
王を探し探し求め
And to follow the star wherever it went.
過ぎ行きし星に従いて
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
ノエル、ノエル、ノエル、ノエル
Born is the King of Israel.
イスラエルの王は生まれし
This star drew night to the northwest,
星は導きぬ、北西の地に
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
ベツレヘムの真上、星はしばし休むも
And there it did both stop and stay,
星は、ここにぞ留まりて
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
横たわりし、幼子イエスを照らす
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
ノエル、ノエル、ノエル、ノエル
Born is the King of Israel.
イスラエルの王は生まれし
