ヨハネの黙示録 10
1 我また一人の強き御使の、雲を著て天より降るを見たり。その頭の上に虹あり、その顏は日の如く、その足は火の柱のごとし。
AND I saw another mighty angel descending from heaven, clothed (with a) cloud, and the bow of the cloud (was) upon his head; and his countenance was as the sun, and his feet as columns of fire.
2 その手には展きたる小き卷 物をもち、右の足を海の上におき、左の足を地の上におき、
And he had in his hand an open book; and he set his right foot upon the sea, but the left upon the land,
3 獅子の吼ゆる如く大聲に呼はれり、呼はりたるとき七つの雷霆おのおの聲を出せり。
and cried with a great voice, as the roar of a lion. And when he had cried, seven thunders spoke their voices.
4 七つの雷霆の語りし時、われ書き記さんとせしに、天より聲ありて『七つの雷霆の語りしことは封じて書き記すな』といふを聞けり。
And when those seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven, which said, Seal those (things) which the seven thunders have spoken, and write them not.
5 かくて我が見しところの海と地とに跨り立てる御使は、天にむかひて右の手を擧げ、
And the angel whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land, lifted his right hand to heaven,
and sware by Him who liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and those who are in it, and the earth and those that are in it, and the sea and those that are in it, That time no more shall be; (aiōn g165)
7 第七の御使の吹かんとするラッパの聲の出づる時に至りて、神の僕なる預言者たちに示し給ひし如く、その奧義は成就せらるべし』
but (that) in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of Aloha shall be completed, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
8 かくて我が前に天より聞きし聲のまた我に語りて『なんぢ往きて、海と地とに跨り立てる御使の手にある展きたる卷 物を取れ』と言ふを聞けり。
And the voice which I heard from heaven spake with me again, and said, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea and upon the land.
9 われ御使のもとに往きて、小き卷 物を我に與へんことを請ひたれば、彼いふ『これを取りて食ひ盡せ、さらば汝の腹 苦くならん、然れど其の口には蜜のごとく甘からん』
And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the book. And he said to me, Take, and eat it; and it will embitter thee thy belly, but in thy mouth it will be sweet as honey.
10 われ御使の手より小き卷 物をとりて食ひ盡したれば、口には蜜のごとく甘かりしが、食ひし後わが腹は苦くなれり。
And I took the book from the hand of the angel, and ate it. And it was in my mouth as sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it my belly was made bitter.
11 また或 物われに言ふ『なんぢ再び多くの民・國・國語・王たちに就きて預言すべし』
And he said to me, It behoves thee yet to prophesy concerning many nations, and concerning peoples and princes and kings.
