ヨハネの黙示録 19
1 この後われ天に大なる群衆の大聲のごとき者ありて、かく言ふを聞けり。曰く『ハレルヤ、救と榮光と權力とは、我らの神のものなり。
After this, I heard what seemed to be a great shout from a vast throng in heaven, crying – ‘Hallelujah! To our God belong salvation, and glory, and Power,
2 その御審は眞にして義なるなり、己が淫行をもて地を汚したる大淫婦を審き、神の僕らの血の復讐を彼になし給ひしなり』
for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has passed judgment on the Great Harlot who was corrupting the earth by her licentiousness, and he has taken vengeance on her for the blood of his servants.’
Again they cried – ‘Hallelujah!’ And the smoke from her ruins rises for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
4 ここに二十四人の長老と四つの活物と平伏して御座に坐したまふ神を拜し『アァメン、ハレルヤ』と言へり。
Then the twenty-four elders and the Four creatures prostrated themselves and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, crying – ‘Amen, Hallelujah!’;
5 また御座より聲 出でて言ふ『すべて神の僕たるもの、神を畏るる者よ、小なるも大なるも、我らの神を讃め奉れ』
and from the throne there came a voice which said – ‘Praise our God all you who serve him, You who worship him, both high and low.’
6 われ大なる群衆の聲おほくの水の音のごとく、烈しき雷霆の聲の如きものを聞けり。曰く『ハレルヤ全能の主、われらの神は統治らすなり。
Then I heard what seemed to be the shout of a vast throng, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of loud peals of thunder, crying – ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord is king, our God, the Almighty.
7 われら喜び樂しみて之に榮光を歸し奉らん。そは羔羊の婚姻の時いたり、既にその新婦みづから準備したればなり。
Let us rejoice and exalt; and we will pay him honor, for the hour for the Marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready.
8 彼は輝ける潔き細布を著ることを許されたり、此の細布は聖徒たちの正しき行爲なり』
And to her it has been granted to robe herself in fine linen, white and pure, for that linen is the good deeds of the people of Christ.’
9 御使また我に言ふ『なんぢ書き記せ、羔羊の婚姻の宴席に招かれたる者は幸福なり』と。また我に言ふ『これ神の眞の言なり』
Then a voice said to me ‘Write – “Blessed are those who have been summoned to the marriage feast of the Lamb.”’ And the voice said – ‘These words of God are true.’
10 我その足下に平伏して拜せんとしたれば、彼われに言ふ『愼みて然すな、我は汝およびイエスの證を保つ汝の兄弟とともに僕たるなり。なんぢ神を拜せよ、イエスの證は即ち預言の靈なり』
I prostrated myself at the feet of him who spoke to worship him, but he said to me – ‘No! I am your fellow servant, and the fellow servant of your brothers and sisters who bear their testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For to bear testimony to Jesus needs the inspiration of the prophets.’
11 我また天の開けたるを見しに、視よ、白き馬あり、之に乘りたまふ者は「忠實また眞」と稱へられ、義をもて審きかつ戰ひたまふ。
Then I saw that heaven lay open. There appears a white horse; its rider is called ‘Faithful’ and ‘True’; righteously does he judge and make war.
12 彼の目は焔のごとく、その頭には多くの冠冕あり、また記せる名あり、之を知る者は彼の他になし。
His eyes are flaming fires; on his head there are many diadems, and he bears a name, written, which no one knows but himself;
13 彼は血に染みたる衣を纏へり、その名は「神の言」と稱ふ。
he has been clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood; and the name by which he is called is ‘The Word of God.’
14 天に在る軍勢は白く潔き細布を著、白き馬に乘りて彼にしたがふ。
The armies of heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
15 彼の口より利き劍いづ、之をもて諸國の民をうち、鐵の杖をもて之を治め給はん。また自ら全能の神の烈しき怒の酒槽を踐みたまふ。
From his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which to smite the nations; and he will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the grapes in the press of the maddening wine of the wrath of Almighty God;
16 その衣と股とに『王の王、主の主』と記せる名あり。
and on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written – ‘KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.’
17 我また一人の御使の太陽のなかに立てるを見たり。大聲に呼はりて、中空を飛ぶ凡ての鳥に言ふ『いざ、神の大なる宴席に集ひきたりて、
Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He cried in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven – ‘Gather and come to the great feast of God,
18 王たちの肉、將校の肉、強き者の肉、馬と之に乘る者との肉、すべての自主および奴隷、小なるもの大なる者の肉を食へ』
to eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all free and enslaved, and of high and low.’
19 我また獸と地の王たちと彼らの軍勢とが相 集りて、馬に乘りたまふ者および其の軍勢に對ひて戰鬪を挑むを見たり。
Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight with him who sat on the horse and with his army.
20 かくて獸は捕へられ、又その前に不思議を行ひて獸の徽章を受けたる者と、その像を拜する者とを惑したる僞 預言者も、之とともに捕へられ、二つながら生きたるまま硫黄の燃ゆる火の池に投げ入れられたり。 (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
The Beast was captured, and with him was taken the false prophet, who performed the marvels before the eyes of the Beast, with which he deceived those who had received the brand of the Beast and those who worshiped his image. Alive, they were thrown, both of them, into the lake of fire – of burning sulfur. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 その他の者は馬に乘りたまふ者の口より出づる劍にて殺され、凡ての鳥その肉を食ひて飽きたり。
The rest were killed by the sword which came out of the mouth of him who rode on the horse; and all the birds fed on their flesh.
