ヨハネの黙示録 7
1 この後、われ四人の御使の地の四隅に立つを見たり、彼らは地の四方の風を引止めて、地にも海にも諸種の樹にも風を吹かせざりき。
And after this, I saw four angels standing on the four quarters of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
2 また他の一人の御使の、活ける神の印を持ちて日の出づる方より登るを見たり、かれ地と海とを害ふ權を與へられたる四人の御使にむかひ、大聲に呼はりて言ふ、
I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He called out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
3 『われらが我らの神の僕の額に印するまでは、地をも海をも樹をも害ふな』
saying, "Do not harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."
4 われ印せられたる者の數を聽きしに、イスラエルの子 等のもろもろの族の中にて印せられたるもの合せて十四萬 四千あり。
I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 ユダの族の中にて一萬 二千 印せられ、ルベンの族の中にて一萬 二千、ガドの族の中にて一萬 二千、
of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 アセルの族の中にて一萬 二千、ナフタリの族の中にて一萬 二千、マナセの族の中にて一萬 二千、
of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 シメオンの族の中にて一萬 二千、レビの族の中にて一萬 二千、イサカルの族の中にて一萬 二千、
of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 ゼブルンの族の中にて一萬 二千、ヨセフの族の中にて一萬 二千、ベニヤミンの族の中にて一萬 二千 印せられたり。
of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 この後われ見しに、視よ、もろもろの國・族・民・國語の中より、誰も數へつくすこと能はぬ大なる群衆、しろき衣を纏ひて手に棕梠の葉をもち、御座と羔羊との前に立ち、
After these things I looked, and suddenly there was a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
10 大聲に呼はりて言ふ『救は御座に坐したまふ我らの神と羔羊とにこそ在れ』
They shouted with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
11 御使みな御座および長老たちと四つの活物との周圍に立ちて、御座の前に平伏し神を拜して言ふ、
All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne, and worshiped God,
saying, "Amen. Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen." (aiōn g165)
13 長老たちの一人われに向ひて言ふ『この白き衣を著たるは如何なる者にして何處より來りしか』
One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?"
14 我いふ『わが主よ、なんぢ知れり』かれ言ふ『かれらは大なる患難より出できたり、羔羊の血に己が衣を洗ひて白くしたる者なり。
So I said to him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.
15 この故に神の御座の前にありて、晝も夜もその聖所にて神に事ふ。御座に坐したまふ者は彼らの上に幕屋を張り給ふべし。
Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 彼らは重ねて飢ゑず、重ねて渇かず、日も熱も彼らを侵すことなし。
They will hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat;
17 御座の前にいます羔羊は、彼らを牧して生命の水の泉にみちびき、神は彼らの目より凡ての涙を拭ひ給ふべければなり』
for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
