< Revelation 14 >
1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing upon mount Zion, and with him a hundred [and] forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written upon their foreheads.
第四款 羔及び童貞者 我又見たるに、折しも羔シオン山に立ち給ひ、其御名及び父の御名を額に印されたる十四萬四千人之と共に在り。
2 And I heard a voice out of the heaven as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder. And the voice which I heard [was] as of harp-singers harping with their harps;
我又天よりの聲を聞きしが、大水の聲の如く、又大いなる雷の聲の如くにして、又此我が聞きし聲は弾琴者の其琴を弾ずるが如し。
3 and they sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn that song save the hundred [and] forty-four thousand who were bought from the earth.
斯て彼等、玉座の前、四の動物と翁等との前に於て、新しき賛美歌の如きものを謳ひ居りしが、地上より贖はれたる彼十四萬四千人の外、誰も此賛美歌を唱うる事能はざりき。
4 These are they who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb wheresoever it goes. These have been bought from men [as] first-fruits to God and to the Lamb:
彼等は女に触れず汚されざるもの、蓋童貞者たるなり。彼等は何處にもあれ羔の往き給ふ處に從ひ、人間の中より、初穂として、神と羔との為に贖はれたる者にして、
5 and in their mouths was no lie found; [for] they are blameless.
其口に僞ありし事なく、神の玉座の御前に汚なき者なり。
6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having [the] everlasting glad tidings to announce to those settled on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, (aiōnios )
第五款 三の天使神の宣告を傳ふ 又見たるに、別に天の中央を飛べる一の天使あり、地上に住める人と、諸國、諸族、諸語、諸民とに福音を告げん為に、永遠の福音を携へ、 (aiōnios )
7 saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and do homage to him who has made the heaven and the earth and the sea and fountains of waters.
聲高く言ひけるは、汝等主を畏れて之に尊榮を歸し奉れ、蓋其審判の時は至れり、天地と海と水の源とを造り給へるものを禮拝し奉れ、と。
8 And another, a second, angel followed, saying, Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, which of the wine of the fury of her fornication has made all nations drink.
又別に一の天使、其後に從ひて言ひけるは、倒れたり倒れたり、私通の為に起せる怒の酒を萬民に飲ませし彼大いなるバビロネは、と。
9 And another, a third, angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any one do homage to the beast and its image, and receive a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand,
又第三の天使、彼等の後に從ひて聲高く言ひけるは、若獣と其像とを拝し、己が額若くは右の手に其印章を受けたる人あらば、
10 he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God prepared unmixed in the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb.
彼も亦神の御怒の酒、即ち御怒の杯に物を雑へずして盛りたる酒を飲むべく、又聖なる天使等の前及び羔の御前に、火と硫黄とを以て苦しめらるべし、
11 And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages, and they have no respite day and night who do homage to the beast and to its image, and if any one receive the mark of its name. (aiōn )
而して其刑罰の烟は世々に限なく立昇り、獣と其像とを拝せし人々と彼の名の印章を受けし者等とは、夜晝休息なかるべし。 (aiōn )
12 Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
神の掟とイエズスに於る信仰とを保てる聖人等の忍耐は茲に在り、と。
13 And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Write, Blessed the dead who die in [the] Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow with them.
斯て天より聲ありて我に斯く言へるを聞けり、書記せ、福なる哉今より主に於て死する死人、[聖]霊曰はく、然り、彼等が其働を息まん為なり、其は其業之に從へばなり、と。
14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like [the] Son of man, having upon his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
第六款 人の子及び刈取 又見たるに、折しも白き雲ありて、其雲の上には人の子の如きもの、頭に金の冠を戴き、手に利き鎌を持ちて坐し居れり。
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send thy sickle and reap; for the hour of reaping is come, for the harvest of the earth is dried.
又別に一の天使、[聖]殿より出でて、雲の上に坐せるものに向ひ、聲高く呼はりけるは、地上の穀物は熟したるが故に、刈取るべき時は來れり、汝其鎌を入れて刈取れ、と。
16 And he that sat on the cloud put his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
斯て雲の上に坐せるもの、其鎌を地に入れしかば、地の面は刈取られたり。
17 And another angel came out of the temple which [is] in the heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
又別に一の天使、天に在る[聖]殿より出でしが、彼も亦利き釜を持てり。
18 And another angel came out of the altar, having power over fire, and called with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send thy sharp sickle, and gather the bunches of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripened.
又別に火を司る権威を有せる一の天使、香台より出でて、利き鎌を持てるものに對ひ、聲高く呼はりて言ひけるは、地上の葡萄は熟したるが故に、汝利き鎌を入れて葡萄の房を刈取れ、と。
19 And the angel put his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [the bunches] into the great wine-press of the fury of God;
斯て天使其利き鎌を地に入れて地上の葡萄を刈取り、神の御怒の大いなる搾槽に入れ、
20 and the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood went out of the wine-press to the bits of the horses for a thousand six hundred stadia.
其搾槽は市外に於て踏籍けられしが、血搾槽より出でて、馬の轡に達くほど、七十五里の間に弘がれり。
