ヨハネの黙示録 13
1 我また一つの獸の海より上るを見たり。之に十の角と七つの頭とあり、その角に十の冠冕あり、頭の上には神を涜す名あり。
And he stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.
2 わが見し獸は豹に似て、その足は熊のごとく、その口は獅子の口のごとし。龍はこれに己が能力と己が座位と大なる權威とを與へたり。
The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The serpent gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.
3 我その頭の一つ傷つけられて死ぬばかりなるを見しが、その死ぬべき傷いやされたれば、全地の者これを怪しみて獸に從へり。
One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally. His fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast.
4 また龍おのが權威を獸に與へしによりて、彼ら龍を拜し、且その獸を拜して言ふ『たれか此の獸に等しき者あらん、誰か之と戰ふことを得ん』
They worshiped the serpent, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
5 獸また大言と涜言とを語る口を與へられ、四十 二个月のあひだ働く權威を與へらる。
A mouth was given to him speaking proud words and blasphemies. There was given to him authority to act for forty-two months.
6 彼は口をひらきて神を涜し、又その御名とその幕屋すなはち天に住む者どもとを涜し、
He opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.
7 また聖徒に戰鬪を挑みて、之に勝つことを許され、且もろもろの族・民・國語・國を掌どる權威を與へらる。
It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.
8 凡て地に住む者にて、其の名を屠られ給ひし羔羊の生命の書に、世の創より記されざる者は、これを拜せん。
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life of the Lamb who has been killed.
9 人もし耳あらば聽くべし。
If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 虜にせらるべき者は虜にせられん、劍にて殺す者はおのれも劍にて殺さるべし、聖徒たちの忍耐と信仰とは茲にあり。
If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
11 我また他の獸の地より上るを見たり。これに羔羊のごとき角 二つありて龍のごとく語り、
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a serpent.
12 先の獸の凡ての權威を彼の前にて行ひ、地と地に住む者とをして死ぬべき傷の醫されたる先の獸を拜せしむ。
He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
13 また大なる徴をおこなひ、人々の前にて火を天より地に降らせ、
He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of people.
14 かの獸の前にて行ふことを許されし徴をもて地に住む者どもを惑し、劍にうたれてなほ生ける獸の像を造ることを地に住む者どもに命じたり。
He deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had been wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15 而してその獸の像に息を與へて物 言はしめ、且その獸の像を拜せぬ者をことごとく殺さしむる事を許され、
It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast could both speak and cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 また凡ての人をして、大小・貧富・自主・奴隷の別なく、或はその右の手、あるいは其の額に徽章を受けしむ。
He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead;
17 この徽章を有たぬ凡ての者に賣買することを得ざらしめたり。その徽章は獸の名、もしくは其の名の數字なり。
and that no one could be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18 智慧は茲にあり、心ある者は獸の數字を算へよ。獸の數字は人の數字にして、その數字は六 百 六十 六なり。
Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
