< Revelation 5 >

1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed shut with seven seals.
我また御座に坐し給ふ者の右の手に、卷 物のあるを見たり、その裏表に文字あり、七つの印をもて封ぜらる。
2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to break its seals?"
また大聲に『卷 物を開きてその封印を解くに相應しき者は誰ぞ』と呼はる強き御使を見たり。
3 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look in it.
然るに天にも地にも、地の下にも、卷 物を開きて之を見 得る者なかりき。
4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, or to look in it.
卷 物を開き、これを見るに相應しき者の見えざりしに因りて、我いたく泣きゐたりしに、
5 One of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Look, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so that he can open the scroll and loose its seven seals."
長老の一人われに言ふ『泣くな、視よ、ユダの族の獅子・ダビデの萠蘗、すでに勝を得て卷 物とその七つの封印とを開き得るなり』
6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
我また御座および四つの活物と長老たちとの間に、屠られたるが如き羔羊の立てるを見たり、之に七つの角と七つの目とあり、この目は全世界に遣されたる神の七つの靈なり。
7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
かれ來りて御座に坐したまふ者の右の手より卷 物を受けたり。
8 Now when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
卷 物を受けたるとき、四つの活物および二十四人の長老、おのおの立琴と香の滿ちたる金の鉢とをもちて、羔羊の前に平伏せり、此の香は聖徒の祈祷なり。
9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and redeemed for God with your blood those from every tribe, language, people, and nation,
かくて新しき歌を謳ひて言ふ『なんぢは卷 物を受け、その封印を解くに相應しきなり、汝は屠られ、その血をもて諸種の族・國語・民・國の中より人々を神のために買ひ、
10 and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on earth."
之を我らの神のために國民となし、祭司となし給へばなり。彼らは地の上に王となるべし』
11 I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;
我また見しに、御座と活物と長老たちとの周圍にをる多くの御使の聲を聞けり。その數、千々萬々にして、
12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing."
大聲にいふ『屠られ給ひし羔羊こそ、能力と富と知慧と、勢威と尊崇と、榮光と讃美とを受くるに相應しけれ』
13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever." (aiōn g165)
我また天に、地に、地の下に、海にある萬の造られたる物、また凡てその中にある物の云へるを聞けり。曰く『願はくは御座に坐し給ふものと羔羊とに、讃美と尊崇と榮光と權力と世々 限りなくあらん事を』 (aiōn g165)
14 The four living creatures were saying, "Amen." The elders fell down and worshiped.
四つの活物はアァメンと言ひ、長老たちは平伏して拜せり。
