My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we will need each other.

　We will need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter.

　We are entering what may well be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus.

　We must set aside the politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation.

　I promise you this: As the Bible says, weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.

　We will get through this, together.

　The world is watching today. So here is my message to those beyond our borders: America has been tested, and we have come out stronger for it.

　We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again.

　Not to meet yesterday's challenges, but today's and tomorrow's.

　We will lead not merely by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.

　We will be a strong and trusted partner for peace, progress and security.

　We have been through so much in this nation.

　And in my first act as president, I would like to ask you to join me in a moment of silent prayer to remember all those we lost this past year to the pandemic.

　To those 400,000 fellow Americans -- mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, friends, neighbors and co-workers -- we will honor them by becoming the people and nation we know we can and should be.

　Let us say a silent prayer for those who lost their lives, for those they left behind, and for our country.

　Amen.

　This is a time of testing.

　We face an attack on democracy and on truth.

　A raging virus.

　Growing inequity.

　The sting of systemic racism.

　A climate in crisis.

　America's role in the world.

　Any one of these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways.

　But the fact is we face them all at once, presenting this nation with the gravest of responsibilities.

　Now we must step up.

　All of us.

　It is a time for boldness, for there is so much to do.

　And this is certain.

　Amenとあるが、ジョー・バイデンはジョン・F・ケネディ以来２人目のカトリックの大統領となる。

　力強い演説だし、通常の状態であれば、大変な歓喜と希望をもって迎えられただろう。

　アメリカは世界に試されている。
