Revelation 12
1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
第一款 婦人及び龍 又天に大いなる徴現れたり、即ち日を着たる一個の婦人あり、其足の下に月ありて、頭には十二の星の冠あり。
2 She was with child. She screamed out in pain, laboring to give birth.
子を姙して陣痛に遇ひ、将に産まんとして叫び居れり。
3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Look, a great fiery red serpent, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
又天に他の徴顕れたり、看よ大いなる赤き龍ありて、七の頭、十の角あり、其頭には七の冠あり、
4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The serpent stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
尾は天の星の三分の一を引き居りしが、之を地に擲ち、子を産まんとする婦人の前に立ちて、生れなば其子を食はんと構へたり。
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with an iron scepter. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
婦人は萬民を鉄の杖もて治むべき一人の男子を生みしに、其子は神の御許に其玉座へ引上げられたり。
6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.
婦人は荒野に迯れしが、此處に一千二百六十日の間養はるる様、神より備へられたる處ありき。
7 There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the serpent. The serpent and his angels made war.
斯て天に於て大いなる戰起れり、ミカエル及び其使等、龍と戰ひ、龍も其使等も戰ひ居りしが、
8 They did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any more in heaven.
龍勝を得ずして天に其跡すらも遺らざりき。 海の砂の上に立てり。
9 The great serpent was thrown down, the ancient serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
而して彼大いなる龍、全世界を惑はせる蛇、所謂惡魔又はサタンなるもの投下されたり、彼地に投下されしかば、其使等も共に投下されたり。
10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
我又大いなる聲の天に於て斯く言へるを聞けり、我等の神の救と、力と、國と、又其キリストの権能とは、今ぞ至れる、其は我等の兄弟等を訴へて、我等の神の御前に日夜彼等を訴へ居たりしもの、投下されたればなり。
11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. They did not love their life, even to death.
而して兄弟等は羔の御血により、又己が證明の言によりて之に勝ち、死に至るまで己が生命を惜まざりき。
12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the land and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."
是故に喜べや、天及び天に住へるものよ、禍なる哉地よ海よ、其は惡魔己が時の唯暫時なるを知りて、大いなる怒を啣みつつ汝等に下りたればなり、と。
13 When the serpent saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
斯て龍は己が地に投下されたるを見て、男子を生みし婦人に追迫りしが、
14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
婦人は荒野に飛ばん為に大いなる鷲の翼を授けられしかば、己が處に至り、一年と數年と半年との間、龍の面前を離れて此處に養はれたり。
15 The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
然るに龍は其口より水を出して、婦人の後より吹懸くる事河の如く、之を河に流さしめんとしたりしも、
16 The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the serpent spewed out of his mouth.
地は婦人を助け、口を開きて龍の口より吹出したる水を呑盡り。
17 The serpent grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
龍は婦人を怒りて、其子孫の中神の掟を守り且イエズス、キリストの證を有する人々と戰はんとて、往きて、
