ヨハネの黙示録 18
1 この後また他の一人の御使の大なる權威を有ちて天より降るを見しに、地はその榮光によりて照されたり。
AFTER these I saw another angel descending from heaven, having great power; and the earth brightened with his glory.
2 かれ強き聲にて呼はりて言ふ『大なるバビロンは倒れたり、倒れたり、かつ惡魔の住家、もろもろの穢れたる靈の檻、もろもろの穢れたる憎むべき鳥の檻となれり。
And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen hath Babel the Great, and hath become a den of demons, and the keep of every unclean spirit, and the keep of every unclean and abominable bird, and the keep of every unclean and abominable beast of prey.
3 もろもろの國人はその淫行の憤恚の葡萄酒を飮み、地の王たちは彼と淫をおこなひ、地の商人らは彼の奢の勢力によりて富みたればなり』
For that of the wine of her rage have all nations drunk; and the kings of the earth have with her committed fornication, and the merchants of the earth from the power of her luxuriance have become rich.
4 また天より他の聲あるを聞けり。曰く『わが民よ、かれの罪に干らず、彼の苦難を共に受けざらんため、その中を出でよ。
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that you be not partakers of her sins, and lest of her plagues you receive.
5 かれの罪は積りて天にいたり、神その不義を憶え給ひたればなり。
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Aloha hath remembered her iniquity.
6 彼が爲しし如く彼に爲し、その行爲に應じ倍して之を報い、かれが酌み與へし酒杯に倍して之に酌み與へよ。
Deal with her as she hath dealt with you, and double to her according to her works. In the cup which she mingled mingle to her double.
7 かれが自ら尊びみづから奢りしと同じほどの苦難と悲歎とを之に與へよ。彼は心のうちに「われは女王の位に坐する者にして寡婦にあらず、決して悲歎を見ざるべし」と言ふ。
How much she hath pleased herself to be wanton, all this give her suffering and sorrow. For she said in her heart, I sit the queen, and am not a widow, and sorrow I see not.
8 この故に、さまざまの苦難、一日のうちに彼の身にきたらん、即ち死と悲歎と饑饉となり。彼また火にて燒き盡されん、彼を審きたまふ主なる神は強ければなり。
Therefore in one day will come these her plagues, death and sorrow and hunger; and in fire she will burn, for mighty is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 彼と淫をおこなひ、彼とともに奢りたる地の王たちは、其の燒かるる煙を見て泣きかつ歎き、
And the kings of the earth who with her have committed fornication, and have been wanton, shall weep and lament and wail over her, when they see the smoke of her burning;
10 その苦難を懼れ、遙に立ちて「禍害なるかな、禍害なるかな、大なる都、堅固なる都バビロンよ、汝の審判は時の間に來れり」と言はん。
standing from far, for fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, that great city Babel, that mighty city! For in one hour hath come thy judgment.
11 地の商人かれが爲に泣き悲しまん。今より後その商品を買ふ者なければなり。
And the merchants of the earth shall be sorrowful over her, because no man buyeth of their burden.
12 その商品は金・銀・寶石・眞珠・細布・紫色・絹・緋色および各樣の香木、また象牙のさまざまの器、價 貴き木、眞鍮・鐵・蝋石などの各樣の器、
No more (shall there be in thee) the burden of gold, and of silver and of precious stones, and of pearls; and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk and scarlet; and of every aromatic wood, and every vessel of elephant's-tooth, and every vessel of wood of great price, and of brass and of iron and of marble;
13 また肉桂・香料・香・香 油・乳香・葡萄酒・オリブ油・麥粉・麥・牛・羊・馬・車・奴隷および人の靈魂なり。
and cinnamon and omomun and perfumes, and ointment and frankincense and wine and oil, and fine meal, and wheat, and cattle, and slaves, and horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
14 なんぢの靈魂の嗜みたる果物は汝を去り、すべての美味、華美なる物は亡びて汝を離れん、今より後これを見ること無かるべし。
And the fruit of the desire of thy soul hath gone from thee, and all those things which are delicious and brilliant have perished from thee,
15 これらの物を商ひ、バビロンに由りて富を得たる商人らは、其の苦難を懼れて遙に立ち、泣き悲しみて言はん、
and the merchants of these things will find them no more. They who were made rich by her from afar will stand for fear of her torment, and wail and be sorrowful,
16 「禍害なるかな、禍害なるかな、細布と紫色と緋とを著、金・寶石・眞珠をもて身を飾りたる大なる都、
saying, Woe, woe, that great city, which was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and golded with gold, and (adorned) with precious stones and pearls;
17 斯ばかり大なる富の時の間に荒涼ばんとは」而して凡ての船 長、すべて海をわたる人々、舟子および海によりて生活を爲すもの遙かに立ち、
for in one hour hath been destroyed wealth like this. And every captain and every pilot who navigateth to the place, and the mariners, and all who serve on the sea, stood from afar,
18 バビロンの燒かるる煙を見て叫び「いづれの都か、この大なる都に比ぶべき」と言はん。
and cried, while beholding the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like to this great city!
19 彼 等また塵をおのが首に被りて泣き悲しみ叫びて「禍害なるかな、禍害なるかな、此の大なる都、その奢によりて海に船を有てる人々の富を得たる都、かく時の間に荒涼ばんとは」と言はん。
And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and lamenting, and saying, Woe, woe, that great city, in which were made rich all they who have ships in the sea, from the preciousness of her! For in one hour she becometh desolate!
20 天よ、聖徒・使徒・預言者よ、この都につきて喜べ、神なんぢらの爲に之を審き給ひたればなり』
Rejoice over her, heaven, and the angels and apostles and prophets, because Aloha hath judged your judgment upon her.
21 ここに一人の強き御使、大なる碾臼のごとき石を擡げ海に投げて言ふ『おほいなる都バビロンは斯くのごとく烈しく撃ち倒されて、今より後 見えざるべし。
And an angel took a stone, as a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with force is cast down Babel the great city, and to be found no more.
22 今よりのち立琴を彈くもの、樂を奏するもの、笛を吹く者、ラッパを鳴す者の聲なんぢの中に聞えず、今より後さまざまの細工をなす細工人なんぢの中に見えず、碾臼の音なんぢの中に聞えず、
And the voice of harpers, and of musicians, and of singers, and of trumpeters, shall be heard in thee no more. And no artificer, nor art, shall more be found in thee.
23 今よりのち燈火の光なんぢの中に輝かず、今よりのち新郎・新婦の聲なんぢの中に聞えざるべし。そは汝の商人は地の大臣となり、諸種の國人はなんぢの咒術に惑され、
And the light of a lamp shall be seen in thee no more. And the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard in thee no more. For thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery were all nations seduced.
24 また預言者・聖徒および凡て地の上に殺されし者の血は、この都の中に見出されたればなり』
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all those who had been killed upon the earth.
