Revelation 4

1 After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will shew thee the things which must take place after these things.

第一款 豫備の出現 其後我見たるに、折しも天に開けたる門あり、而して我が初に我に語るを聞きし喇叭の如き聲言ひけるは、此處に登れ、我此後に成るべき事を汝に示さん、と。

2 Immediately I became in [the] Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting,

斯て我忽ち氣を奪はれたるが如くになりしに、折しも天に一の玉座備へられ、其玉座の上に坐し給ふものありて、

3 and he [that was] sitting like in appearance to a stone [of] jasper and a sardius, and a rainbow round the throne like in appearance to an emerald.

其坐し給ふものは碧玉及び赤條瑪瑙の象の如く、又玉座の周圍に緑玉の象の如き虹ありき。

4 And round the throne twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed with white garments; and on their heads golden crowns.

然て玉座の周圍に廿四の高座あり、其高座の上には白衣を纏ひて頭に金冠を戴ける廿四人の翁坐し居れり。

5 And out of the throne go forth lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and seven lamps of fire, burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

斯て玉座より電光と數多の聲と雷鳴と出でつつありしが、玉座の正面には輝く七の燈火あり、是即ち神の七霊なり。

6 and before the throne, as a glass sea, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures, full of eyes, before and behind;

又玉座の前に水晶に似たる玻璃の海あり、玉座の中央と周圍とに、前後共に目にて満ちたる四の動物ありき。

7 and the first living creature like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.

第一の動物は獅子の如く、第二の動物は犢の如く、第三の動物は人の如き顔ありて、第四の動物は飛ぶ鷲の如し。

8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having respectively six wings; round and within they are full of eyes; and they cease not day and night saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.

此四の動物各六の翼ありて、内外共に目にて満ち、晝夜絶間なく、聖なる哉、聖なる哉、聖なる哉、曾て在し、今も在し、又将に來り給ふべき全能の神にて在す主よ、と言ひ居れり。

9 And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanksgiving to him that sits upon the throne, who lives to the ages of ages, (aiōn g165)

斯て此四の動物、玉座に坐し給ひて世々に限なく活き給ふものに、光榮と尊崇と感謝とを歸し奉るに、 (aiōn g165)

10 the twenty-four elders shall fall before him that sits upon the throne, and do homage to him that lives to the ages of ages; and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)

廿四人の翁、玉座に坐し給ふものの御前に平伏し、世々に限なく活き給ふものを禮拝し奉り、己が冠を玉座の前に投じつつ、 (aiōn g165)

11 Thou art worthy, O our Lord and [our] God, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy will they were, and they have been created.

主にて在す我等の神よ、主こそは光榮と尊崇と能力とを受け給ふべけれ、其は御自ら萬物を創造し給ひ、萬物の存在にして創造せられしは御旨によればなり、と言ひ居れり。
