ヨハネの黙示録 4
1 この後われ見しに、視よ、天に開けたる門あり。初に我に語るを聞きしラッパのごとき聲いふ『ここに登れ、我この後おこるべき事を汝に示さん』
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here, and I will show you things which must be hereafter.
2 直ちに、われ御靈に感ぜしが、視よ、天に御座 設けあり。
And immediately I was in the spirit: (pneuma) and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 その御座に坐したまふ者あり、その坐し給ふものの状は碧玉・赤瑪瑙のごとく、かつ御座の周圍には緑玉のごとき虹ありき。
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 また御座のまはりに二十四の座位ありて、二十四人の長老、白き衣を纏ひ、首に金の冠冕を戴きて、その座位に坐せり。
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 御座より數多の電光と聲と雷霆と出づ。また御座の前に燃えたる七つの燈火あり、これ神の七つの靈なり。
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits (pneuma) of God.
6 御座のまへに水晶に似たる玻璃の海あり。御座の中央と御座の周圍とに四つの活物ありて、前も後も數々の目にて滿ちたり。
And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 第一の活物は獅子のごとく、第二の活物は牛のごとく、第三の活物は面のかたち人のごとく、第四の活物は飛ぶ鷲のごとし。
And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8 この四つの活物おのおの六つの翼あり、翼の内も外も數々の目にて滿ちたり、日も夜も絶間なく言ふ、『聖なるかな、聖なるかな、聖なるかな、昔いまし、今いまし、のち來りたまふ主たる全能の神』
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 『我らの主なる神よ、榮光と尊崇と能力とを受け給ふは宜なり。汝は萬物を造りたまひ、萬物は御意によりて存し、かつ造られたり』
You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.
