< Revelation 9 >
1 And the fyuethe aungel trumpide; and Y say, that a sterre hadde falle doun fro heuene in to erthe; and the keye of the pit of depnesse was youun to it. (Abyssos )
第五の御使ラッパを吹きしに、われ一つの星の天より地に隕ちたるを見たり。この星は底なき坑の鍵を與へられたり。 (Abyssos )
2 And it openede the pit of depnesse, and a smoke of the pit stiede vp, as the smoke of a greet furneis; and the sunne was derkid, and the eir, of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos )
かくて底なき坑を開きたれば、大なる爐の煙のごとき煙、坑より立ちのぼり、日も空も坑の煙にて暗くなれり。 (Abyssos )
3 And locustis wenten out of the smoke of the pit in to erthe; and power was youun to hem, as scorpiouns of the erthe han power.
煙の中より蝗 地上に出でて、地の蝎のもてる力のごとき力を與へられ、
4 And it was comaundid to hem, that thei schulden not hirte the gras of erthe, nether ony grene thing, nether ony tre, but oneli men, that han not the signe of God in her forhedis.
地の草すべての青きもの又すべての樹を害ふことなく、ただ額に神の印なき人をのみ害ふことを命ぜられたり。
5 And it was youun to hem, that thei schulden not sle hem, but that thei schulden `be turmentid fyue monethis; and the turmentyng of hem, as the turmentyng of a scorpioun, whanne he smytith a man.
されど彼らを殺すことを許されず、五月のあひだ苦しむることを許さる、その苦痛は、蝎に刺されたる苦痛のごとし。
6 And in tho daies men schulen seke deth, and thei schulen not fynde it; and thei schulen desire to die, and deth schal fle fro hem.
このとき人々、死を求むとも見出さず、死なんと欲すとも死は逃げ去るべし。
7 And the licnesse of locustis ben lijk horsis maad redi `in to batel; and on the heedis of hem as corouns lijk gold, and the facis of hem as the faces of men.
かの蝗の形は戰爭の爲に具へたる馬のごとく、頭には金に似たる冠冕の如きものあり、顏は人の顏のごとく、
8 And thei hadden heeris, as heeris of wymmen; and the teeth of hem weren as teeth of liouns.
之に女の頭髮のごとき頭髮あり、齒は獅子の齒のごとし。
9 And thei hadden haburiouns, as yren haburiouns, and the vois of her wengis as the vois of charis of many horsis rennynge `in to batel.
また鐵の胸當のごとき胸當あり、その翼の音は軍車の轟くごとく、多くの馬の戰鬪に馳せゆくが如し。
10 And thei hadden tailis lijk scorpiouns, and prickis weren in the tailis of hem; and the myyt of hem was to noye men fyue monethis.
また蝎のごとき尾ありて之に刺あり、この尾に五月のあひだ人を害ふ力あり。
11 And thei hadden on hem a kyng, the aungel of depnesse, to whom the name bi Ebrew is Laabadon, but bi Greek Appollion, and bi Latyn `he hath a name `Extermynans, that is, a distriere. (Abyssos )
この蝗に王あり。底なき所の使にして、名をヘブル語にてアバドンと云ひ、ギリシヤ語にてアポルオンと云ふ。 (Abyssos )
12 O wo is passid, and lo! yit comen twei woes.
第一の禍害すぎ去れり、視よ、此の後なほ二つの禍害きたらん。
13 Aftir these thingis also the sixte aungel trumpide; and Y herde a vois fro foure corneris of the goldun auter, that is bifore the iyen of God,
第六の御使ラッパを吹きしに、神の前なる金の香壇の四つの角より聲ありて、
14 and seide to the sixte aungel that hadde a trumpe, Vnbynde thou foure aungels, that ben boundun in the greet flood Eufrates.
ラッパを持てる第六の御使に『大なるユウフラテ川の邊に繋がれをる四人の御使を解放て』と言ふを聞けり。
15 And the foure aungels weren vnboundun, whiche weren redi in to our, and dai, and monethe, and yeer, to sle the thridde part of men.
かくてその時その日その月その年に至りて、人の三分の一を殺さん爲に備へられたる四人の御使は解放たれたり。
16 And the noumbre of the oost of horse men was twenti thousynde sithis ten thousynde. Y herde the noumbre of hem.
騎兵の數は二億なり、我その數を聞けり。
17 And so Y say horsis in visioun; and thei that saten on hem hadden firy haburiouns, and of iacynt, and of brymstoon. And the heedis of the horsis weren as heedis of liouns; and fier, and smoke, and brymston, cometh forth of the mouth of hem.
われ幻影にてその馬と之に乘る者とを見しに、彼らは火・煙・硫黄の色したる胸當を著く。馬の頭は獅子の頭のごとくにて、その口よりは火と煙と硫黄と出づ。
18 Of these thre plagis the thridde part of men was slayn, of the fier, and of the smoke, and of the brymston, that camen out of the mouth of hem.
この三つの苦痛、すなはち其の口より出づる火と煙と硫黄とに因りて、人の三分の一 殺されたり。
19 For the power of the horsis is in the mouth of hem, and in the tailis of hem; for the tailis of hem ben lyk to serpentis, hauynge heedis, and in hem thei noyen.
馬の力はその口とその尾とにあり、その尾は蛇の如くにして頭あり、之をもて人を害ふなり。
20 And the tothir men, that weren not slayn in these plagis, nether dyden penaunce of the werkis of her hondis, that thei worschipeden not deuelis, and simylacris of gold, and of siluer, and of bras, and of stoon, and of tre, whiche nethir mown se, nether heere, nether wandre;
これらの苦痛にて殺されざりし殘の人々は、おのが手の業を悔改めずして、なほ惡鬼を拜し、見ること聞くこと歩むこと能はぬ、金・銀・銅・石・木の偶像を拜せり、
21 and diden not penaunce of her mansleyngis, nether of her witchecraftis, nethir of her fornicacioun, nethir of her theftis, weren slayn.
又その殺人・咒術・淫行・竊盜を悔改めざりき。
