Revelation 9
1 And at the sounding of the fifth angel I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth: and there was given to him the key of the great deep. (Abyssos g12)
第五の天使喇叭を吹きしに、我一の星の天より地に落ちたるを見たり。然て彼は底なき淵の穴の鍵を授けられ、 (Abyssos g12)
2 And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke. (Abyssos g12)
淵の穴を開きしかば、大いなる炉の烟の如き烟穴より立昇りて、日も空も穴の烟の為に暗まされたり。 (Abyssos g12)
3 And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.
又穴の烟より蝗地上に出でて、地の蠍の如き力を授けられ、
4 And they were ordered to do no damage to the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to such men as have not the mark of God on their brows.
地の草、凡ての青物、及び如何なる樹木をも害する事なく、唯己が額に神の印を有せざる人々をのみ害すべき事を命ぜられたり。
5 And orders were given them not to put them to death, but to give them great pain for five months: and their pain was as the pain from the wound of a scorpion.
但之を殺す事なく、五箇月の間苦しむる力を授けられ、其苦は蠍の人を刺したる時の苦に等し。
6 And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.
此時人々死を求めて而も之に遇はず死を望みて而も死は彼等を遠ざかるべし。
7 And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
彼蝗の状は戰に備へたる馬に似て、頭には金に似たる冠の如きものあり、顔は人の顔の如く、
8 And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
女の髪毛の如き毛ありて、歯は獅子の歯に等しく、
9 And they had breastplates like iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of carriages, like an army of horses rushing to the fight.
鉄の鎧の如き鎧ありて、翼の音は多くの馬に曳かれて戰場に走る車の音の如く、
10 And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months.
尚蠍の如き尾ありて、其尾に刺あり、其力は五箇月の間人を害すべし。
11 They have over them as king the angel of the great deep: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek language Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
此蝗を司る王は底なき淵の使にして、名はヘブレオ語にてアバッドン、ギリシア語にてアポルリオンと云ひ、ラテン語[の意味]は破壊者なり。 (Abyssos g12)
12 The first Trouble is past: see, there are still two Troubles to come.
一の禍過ぎて尚二の禍來らんとす。
13 And at the sounding of the sixth angel a voice came to my ears from the horns of the gold altar which is before God,
第六の天使喇叭を吹きしかば我聞きたるに、神の御目前なる金の香台の四隅より一の聲出で、
14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the horn, Make free the four angels who are chained at the great river Euphrates.
喇叭を持てる第六の天使に謂ひけるは、ユウフラテの大河の辺に繋がれたる四の天使を免せ、と、
15 And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men.
斯て年月日時を期して人間の三分の一を殺さんと構へたる、四の天使免されたり。
16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: the number of them came to my ears.
騎兵の數は二億にして我其數を聞けり。
17 And so I saw the horses in the vision, and those who were seated on them, having breastplates of fire and glass and of burning stone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and a smell of burning.
然て我幻影に其馬を見しが、之に乗れる者は緋色、紫色、硫黄色の鎧を着け、馬の頭は獅子の頭の如くにして、其口より火と烟と硫黄と出で、
18 By these evils a third part of men was put to death, by the fire, and the smoke, and the burning smell which came out of their mouths.
此三の禍、即ち其口より出づる火と烟と硫黄との為に人間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: because their tails are like snakes, and have heads, and with them they give wounds.
其馬の力は口と尾とに在り、其尾は蛇の如くにして頭を備へ、之を以て害を加ふるなり。
20 And the rest of the people, who were not put to death by these evils, were not turned from the works of their hands, but went on giving worship to evil spirits, and images of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood which have no power of seeing or hearing or walking:
是等の禍によりて殺されざりし人々は、尚其手の業より改心せずして惡鬼等を拝し、見聞き歩む事を得ざる金、銀、銅、木、石の偶像を拝する事を歇めず、
21 And they had no regret for putting men to death, or for their use of secret arts, or for the evil desires of the flesh, or for taking the property of others.
其殺人、其害毒、其私通、其窃取の罪よりも改心せざりき。
