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。
After this, I saw four messengers, standing at the four corners of the earth, holding fast the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the land, or upon the sea, or upon 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、
And I saw another messenger, ascending from the rising of the sun, holding the seal of the Living God; and he cried out with a loud voice unto the four messengers unto whom it had been given to injure the land 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 injure the land, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon 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。
And I heard the number of the sealed, —a hundred and forty-four thousand, —sealed out of every tribe of the sons 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, twelve thousand sealed, 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, twelve thousand, sealed.
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 saw, and lo! a great multitude, —which, to number it! no one was able, —of every nation, and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues; standing before the throne, and before the Lamb; arrayed in white robes, and 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』
and they cry out with a loud voice, saying—Salvation unto our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto 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、
And, all the messengers, were standing round about the throne and the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and rendered homage unto God,
saying—Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the might, —be unto our God, unto the ages of ages. [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』
And one of the elders began, saying unto me—These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they?
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。
And I at once said to him—My lord! thou, knowest! And he said unto me—These, are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb;
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。
For this cause, are they before the throne of God, and are rendering divine service unto him, day and night, in his sanctuary; and he that sitteth upon the throne shall spread his tent 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 shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither in any wise shall the sun fall upon them, nor any burning 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』
Because, the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne, shall shepherd them, and shall lead them unto life’s fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear out of their eyes.
