ヨハネの黙示録 5
1 我また御座に坐し給ふ者の右の手に、卷 物のあるを見たり、その裏表に文字あり、七つの印をもて封ぜらる。
Then I saw lying upon the right hand of Him who sat upon the throne, a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals.
2 また大聲に『卷 物を開きてその封印を解くに相應しき者は誰ぞ』と呼はる強き御使を見たり。
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals."
3 然るに天にも地にも、地の下にも、卷 物を開きて之を見 得る者なかりき。
And no one in the heavens or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look into it.
4 卷 物を開き、これを見るに相應しき者の見えざりしに因りて、我いたく泣きゐたりしに、
so I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it.
5 長老の一人われに言ふ『泣くな、視よ、ユダの族の獅子・ダビデの萠蘗、すでに勝を得て卷 物とその七つの封印とを開き得るなり』
But one of the Elders said to me. "Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, and so can open the book with its seven seals."
6 我また御座および四つの活物と長老たちとの間に、屠られたるが如き羔羊の立てるを見たり、之に七つの角と七つの目とあり、この目は全世界に遣されたる神の七つの靈なり。
Then I beheld a Lamb standing as if slain in the midst of the throne and of the four Living Creatures, and in the midst of the Elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes (which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth).
7 かれ來りて御座に坐したまふ者の右の手より卷 物を受けたり。
And he went, and now he has taken the book out of the right hand of Him who was seated on the throne.
8 卷 物を受けたるとき、四つの活物および二十四人の長老、おのおの立琴と香の滿ちたる金の鉢とをもちて、羔羊の前に平伏せり、此の香は聖徒の祈祷なり。
When he took the book, the four Living Creatures and the four and twenty Elders fell down before the Lamb. And each had a harp and a golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 かくて新しき歌を謳ひて言ふ『なんぢは卷 物を受け、その封印を解くに相應しきなり、汝は屠られ、その血をもて諸種の族・國語・民・國の中より人々を神のために買ひ、
And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book And to open its seals; For thou wast slain and didst ransom for God Men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation;
10 之を我らの神のために國民となし、祭司となし給へばなり。彼らは地の上に王となるべし』
Thou hast made them kings and priests unto our God, And they shall reign on earth."
11 我また見しに、御座と活物と長老たちとの周圍にをる多くの御使の聲を聞けり。その數、千々萬々にして、
Then I looked and heard a voice of many angels encircling the throne and a voice of the Living Creatures and of the Elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
12 大聲にいふ『屠られ給ひし羔羊こそ、能力と富と知慧と、勢威と尊崇と、榮光と讃美とを受くるに相應しけれ』
singing aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain, To receive power and riches and wisdom And might and honor and glory and blessing."
13 我また天に、地に、地の下に、海にある萬の造られたる物、また凡てその中にある物の云へるを聞けり。曰く『願はくは御座に坐し給ふものと羔羊とに、讃美と尊崇と榮光と權力と世々 限りなくあらん事を』 (aiōn g165)
And I heard every created thing that is in heaven, or on earth, or beneath the earth, or on the sea, and all things that are in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, Be the blessing and the honor, And the glory and the power, Forever and ever!" (aiōn g165)
14 四つの活物はアァメンと言ひ、長老たちは平伏して拜せり。
And the four Living Creatures kept saying, "Amen!" And the Elders fell down and worshiped.
