Revelation 18
1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
其後、又別に一の天使、大いなる権威を以て天より降るを見しが、地上は其榮光を以て照されたり。
2 He shouted with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, and a prison of every unclean and detestable beast.
彼力ある聲にて呼はり言ひけるは、倒れたり、倒れたり大いなるバビロネは。既に惡魔の住處と成り、凡ての穢れたる霊の巣窟と成り、総て汚れて憎むべき鳥の巣と成れり。
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."
蓋萬民は其姦淫が起さする怒の酒を飲み、地上の國王等は彼と姦淫を為し、地上の商人等は彼が奢の勢によりて富豪と成りたるなり、と。
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues,
又別に天より聲して斯く言へるを聞けり、我臣民よ、汝等彼が中より出でて、其罪に與らず其禍を受けざる様にせよ。
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
其は彼の罪は天に達し、主彼が不義を心に留め給ひたればなり。
6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
彼が汝等に為しし如く汝等彼に為し、其業に應じて倍して之を報い、彼が汲與へし杯は之に倍して汲與へよ。
7 However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'
彼が自ら誇りて快樂に暮らししと同じ程なる苦と悔とを與へよ、其は彼が心の中に、我は女王の位に坐して寡婦には非ず、而も悔を見じ、と謂へばなり。
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
故に其禍、即ち死と、悔と、飢と、俄に來りて、彼は火にて焼盡さるべし、彼を審判し給へる神は全能にて在せばなり。
9 The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
彼と姦淫して樂しみ暮らしし地上の諸國王、彼が焼かるる烟を見て其上を泣き、且己が胸を打ち、
10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city. For your judgment has come in one hour.'
其苦を恐れて遥に立退きて言はん、禍なる哉、禍なる哉、彼バビロネの大都會、彼堅固なる都會よ、其は汝の刑罰一時に至りたればなり、と。
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;
又地上の商人、泣きて彼が上を悲しむべし、其は己の商品を買ふべきもの既に之あらざればなり。
12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of bronze, and iron, and marble;
其商品は金銀、寳石、眞珠、亜麻布、緋色布、絹物、紫布、種々の香木、及び一切の象牙細工、佳木、青銅、鉄、大理石の諸器物、
13 and cinnamon, spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves and human lives.
又肉桂、香料、香油、乳膏、葡萄酒、油、麦粉、小麦、駄獣、羊、馬、四輪車、人の體と魂と等なり。
14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were luxury and splendor have perished from you, and you will never ever find them again.
[バビロネよ]、汝の好みし果物は汝を去り、一切の珍味華美の品々は、亡びて汝より離れ、以後は之を見出さざるべし。
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
是等の物を商ひて富豪と成りし人々は、バビロネの苦を恐れて遥に立退き、泣悔みて、
16 saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls.
言はん、禍なる哉、禍なる哉、曾て亜麻布、緋色、紫色の服を着し、金、寳石、眞珠を以て身を飾りたる、彼大都會よ、と。
17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
是然しも莫大なる富の一時に消失せたればなり。
18 and exclaimed as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?'
又一切の船長、航海せる人々、水夫、又は海上に働ける人々、遥に立退きて、其火事の烟を見て呼はり言ひけるは、如何なる都會か此大都會には似たる、と。
19 They cast dust on their heads, and shouting, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth.' For in one hour is she made desolate.
而して彼等は、塵を己が頭に被りて泣悔み、叫びて言ひけるは、禍なる哉、禍なる哉、其奢によりて総て海上に船を有ちたる人々を富ましめたる彼大都會よ、其は一時に荒果てたるなり、と。
20 "Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her."
天及び聖人、使徒、預言者等、彼が上を歓びて躍れ、蓋神汝等が[受けし]處分を彼に於て復讐し給ひしなり。
21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
又一の強き天使、大いなる磨の如き石を海に投げて言ひけるは、彼大都會バビロネは、斯の如き機勢を以て投げられ、再び見出さるる事あらじ。
22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
今より後は汝の中に、琴を弾じ、樂を奏し、笛を吹き、喇叭を鳴らす者の聲再び聞えず、種々の芸術の職人、汝の中に再び見出されず、磨の音汝の中に再び聞えず、
23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
燈の光汝の中に再び輝かず、新郎新婦の聲全く汝の中に聞えざるべし。其は汝の商人、既に地の諸侯の如くに成りて、萬民汝の魔力に惑ひ、
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
且預言者、聖人及び地上に殺されし一切の人の血、彼に於て見出されたればなり、と。
