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 angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on the earth, 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、
Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God. He cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power 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』
“Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
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。
Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from 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、
From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from 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、
from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from 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、
from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from 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。
from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were 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 this I looked, and behold, there was a great multitude, which no one could number, from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed 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 were crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs 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、
And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor, power and strength, 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』
In response one of the elders said to me, “Who are these people clothed in white robes, and where did they come from?”
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。
I said to him, “Sir, yoʋ know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have 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。
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple, and 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 and thirst no more; the sun will certainly not beat down upon them, nor will any scorching 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 in the midst of the throne shepherds them; he leads them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
