ヨハネの黙示録 16
1 我また聖所より大なる聲ありて、七人の御使に『往きて神の憤恚の七つの鉢を地の上に傾けよ』と言ふを聞けり。
I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth!”
2 かくて第一の者ゆきて其の鉢を地の上に傾けたれば、獸の徽章を有てる人々とその像を拜する人々との身に、惡しき苦しき腫物 生じたり。
The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and painful sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshipped his image.
3 第二の者その鉢を海の上に傾けたれば、海は死人の血の如くなりて、海にある生物ことごとく死にたり。
The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.
4 第三の者その鉢をもろもろの河と、もろもろの水の源泉との上に傾けたれば、みな血となれり。
The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
5 われ水を掌どる御使の『いま在し昔います聖なる者よ、なんぢの斯く定め給ひしは正しき事なり。
I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, who are and who were, O Holy One, because you have judged these things.
6 彼らは聖徒と預言者との血を流したれば、之に血を飮ませ給ひしは相應しきなり』と云へるを聞けり。
For they poured out the blood of holy ones and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.”
7 我また祭壇の物 言ふを聞けり『然り、主なる全能の神よ、なんぢの審判は眞なるかな、義なるかな』と。
I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgements.”
8 第四の者その鉢を太陽の上に傾けたれば、太陽は火をもて人を燒くことを許さる。
The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.
9 かくて人々 烈しき熱に燒かれて、此 等の苦難を掌どる權威を有たちまふ神の名を涜し、かつ悔改めずして神に榮光を歸せざりき。
People were scorched with great heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn’t repent and give him glory.
10 第五の者その鉢を獸の座位の上に傾けたれば、獸の國 暗くなり、その國人 痛によりて己の舌を齧み、
The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,
11 その痛と腫物とによりて天の神を涜し、かつ己が行爲を悔改めざりき。
and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They still didn’t repent of their works.
12 第六の者その鉢を大なる河ユウフラテの上に傾けたれば、河の水 涸れたり。これ日の出づる方より來る王たちの途を備へん爲なり。
The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings that come from the sunrise.
13 我また龍の口より、獸の口より、僞 預言者の口より、蛙のごとき三つの穢れし靈の出づるを見たり。
I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs;
14 これは徴をおこなふ惡鬼の靈にして、全能の神の大なる日の戰鬪のために全世界の王たちを集めんとて、その許に出でゆくなり。
for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God the Almighty.
15 （視よ、われ盜人のごとく來らん、裸にて歩み羞所を見らるることなからん爲に、目を覺してその衣を守る者は幸福なり）
“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”
16 かの三つの靈、王たちをヘブル語にてハルマゲドンと稱ふる處に集めたり。
He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, “Harmagedon”.
17 第七の者その鉢を空中に傾けたれば、聖所より御座より大なる聲いでて『事すでに成れり』と言ふ。
The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
18 かくて數多の電光と聲と雷霆とあり、また大なる地震おこれり、人の地の上に在りし以來かかる大なる地震なかりき。
There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake such as has not happened since there were men on the earth—so great an earthquake and so mighty.
19 大なる都は三つに裂かれ、諸國の町々は倒れ、大なるバビロンは神の前におもひ出されて、劇しき御怒の葡萄酒を盛りたる酒杯を與へられたり。
The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 凡ての島は逃げさり、山は見えずなれり。
Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 また天より百 斤ほどの大なる雹、人々の上に降りしかば、人々 雹の苦難によりて神を涜せり。是その苦難 甚だしく大なればなり。
Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague was exceedingly severe.
