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。
Then I saw a mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars 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、
In his hand he held an open scroll. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on 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 out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he cried out, the seven thunders sounded 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 the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
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、
Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it, and said that there would no longer be delay, (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 when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God would be completed, according to the good news he announced 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。
Then the voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on 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』
So I went over to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take the scroll and eat it. It will make yoʋr stomach bitter, but in yoʋr mouth it will be as 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。
So I took the scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. In my mouth it was as sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned 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』
Then I was told, “Yoʋ must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
