Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12) was given to him.
第五の御使ラッパを吹きしに、われ一つの星の天より地に隕ちたるを見たり。この星は底なき坑の鍵を與へられたり。 (Abyssos g12)
2 He opened the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12), and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.
かくて底なき坑を開きたれば、大なる爐の煙のごとき煙、坑より立ちのぼり、日も空も坑の煙にて暗くなれり。 (Abyssos g12)
3 Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
煙の中より蝗 地上に出でて、地の蝎のもてる力のごとき力を與へられ、
4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.
地の草すべての青きもの又すべての樹を害ふことなく、ただ額に神の印なき人をのみ害ふことを命ぜられたり。
5 They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
されど彼らを殺すことを許されず、五月のあひだ苦しむることを許さる、その苦痛は、蝎に刺されたる苦痛のごとし。
6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
このとき人々、死を求むとも見出さず、死なんと欲すとも死は逃げ去るべし。
7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.
かの蝗の形は戰爭の爲に具へたる馬のごとく、頭には金に似たる冠冕の如きものあり、顏は人の顏のごとく、
8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
之に女の頭髮のごとき頭髮あり、齒は獅子の齒のごとし。
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
また鐵の胸當のごとき胸當あり、その翼の音は軍車の轟くごとく、多くの馬の戰鬪に馳せゆくが如し。
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
また蝎のごとき尾ありて之に刺あり、この尾に五月のあひだ人を害ふ力あり。
11 They have over them as king the angel of the Abyss (Abyssos g12). His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon", and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon".
この蝗に王あり。底なき所の使にして、名をヘブル語にてアバドンと云ひ、ギリシヤ語にてアポルオンと云ふ。 (Abyssos g12)
12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
第一の禍害すぎ去れり、視よ、此の後なほ二つの禍害きたらん。
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
第六の御使ラッパを吹きしに、神の前なる金の香壇の四つの角より聲ありて、
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
ラッパを持てる第六の御使に『大なるユウフラテ川の邊に繋がれをる四人の御使を解放て』と言ふを聞けり。
15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.
かくてその時その日その月その年に至りて、人の三分の一を殺さん爲に備へられたる四人の御使は解放たれたり。
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
騎兵の數は二億なり、我その數を聞けり。
17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
われ幻影にてその馬と之に乘る者とを見しに、彼らは火・煙・硫黄の色したる胸當を著く。馬の頭は獅子の頭のごとくにて、その口よりは火と煙と硫黄と出づ。
18 By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
この三つの苦痛、すなはち其の口より出づる火と煙と硫黄とに因りて、人の三分の一 殺されたり。
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.
馬の力はその口とその尾とにあり、その尾は蛇の如くにして頭あり、之をもて人を害ふなり。
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.
これらの苦痛にて殺されざりし殘の人々は、おのが手の業を悔改めずして、なほ惡鬼を拜し、見ること聞くこと歩むこと能はぬ、金・銀・銅・石・木の偶像を拜せり、
21 They did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
又その殺人・咒術・淫行・竊盜を悔改めざりき。
