ヨハネの黙示録 6
1 羔羊その七つの封印の一つを解き給ひし時、われ見しに、四つの活物の一つが雷霆のごとき聲して『來れ』と言ふを聞けり。
I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”
2 また見しに、視よ、白き馬あり、之に乘るもの弓を持ち、かつ冠冕を與へられ、勝ちて復 勝たんとて出でゆけり。
Then a white horse appeared, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
3 第二の封印を解き給ひたれば、第二の活物の『來れ』と言ふを聞けり。
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”
4 かくて赤き馬いで來り、これに乘るもの地より平和を奪ひ取ることと、人をして互に殺さしむる事とを許され、また大なる劍を與へられたり。
Another came out, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
5 第三の封印を解き給ひたれば、第三の活物の『來れ』と言ふを聞けり。われ見しに、視よ、黒き馬あり、之に乘るもの手に權衝を持てり。
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.
6 かくてわれ四つの活物の間より出づるごとき聲を聞けり。曰く『小麥 五合は一デナリ、大麥 一升 五合は一デナリなり、油と葡萄酒とを害ふな』
I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”
7 第四の封印を解き給ひたれば、第四の活物の『來れ』と言ふを聞けり。
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”
And behold, a pale horse, and the name of he who sat on it was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him. (Hadēs g86)
9 第五の封印を解き給ひたれば、曾て神の言のため、又その立てし證のために殺されし者の靈魂の祭壇の下に在るを見たり。
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.
10 彼ら大聲に呼はりて言ふ『聖にして眞なる主よ、何時まで審かずして地に住む者に我らの血の復讐をなし給はぬか』
They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11 ここにおのおの白き衣を與へられ、かつ己 等のごとく殺されんとする同じ僕たる者と兄弟との數の滿つるまで、なほ暫く安んじて待つべきを言ひ聞けられたり。
A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
12 第六の封印を解き給ひし時、われ見しに、大なる地震ありて日は荒き毛 布のごとく黒く、月は全面 血の如くなり、
I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.
13 天の星は無花果の樹の大風に搖られて、生り後の果の落つるごとく地におち、
The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
14 天は卷 物を卷くごとく去りゆき、山と島とは悉とくその處を移されたり。
The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15 地の王たち・大臣・將校・富める者・強き者・奴隷・自主の人、みな洞と山の巖間とに匿れ、
The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
16 山と巖とに對ひて言ふ『請ふ、我らの上に墜ちて御座に坐したまふ者の御顏より、羔羊の怒より、我らを隱せ。
They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 そは御怒の大なる日 既に來ればなり。誰か立つことを得ん』
for the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
