ヨハネの黙示録 9
Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven upon the earth; and to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the bottomless pit, and out of the pit there went up a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air grew dark, because of the smoke out of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 煙の中より蝗 地上に出でて、地の蝎のもてる力のごとき力を與へられ、
And out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth; they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth.
4 地の草すべての青きもの又すべての樹を害ふことなく、ただ額に神の印なき人をのみ害ふことを命ぜられたり。
They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any plant, nor any tree, but only those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 されど彼らを殺すことを許されず、五月のあひだ苦しむることを許さる、その苦痛は、蝎に刺されたる苦痛のごとし。
Yet they were not permitted to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.
6 このとき人々、死を求むとも見出さず、死なんと欲すとも死は逃げ去るべし。
In those days men will seek death, and will not find it; they will long to die, but death ever flees from them.
7 かの蝗の形は戰爭の爲に具へたる馬のごとく、頭には金に似たる冠冕の如きものあり、顏は人の顏のごとく、
The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there was something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like men’s faces,
8 之に女の頭髮のごとき頭髮あり、齒は獅子の齒のごとし。
and they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like lion’s teeth,
9 また鐵の胸當のごとき胸當あり、その翼の音は軍車の轟くごとく、多くの馬の戰鬪に馳せゆくが如し。
and they had breastplates something like breastplates of iron; and the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots, of many horses rushing into battle.
10 また蝎のごとき尾ありて之に刺あり、この尾に五月のあひだ人を害ふ力あり。
And they have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power to torture men five months was in their tails.
They have a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon; in Greek he is called Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 第一の禍害すぎ去れり、視よ、此の後なほ二つの禍害きたらん。
"The first woe has passed; and still there are two woes to follow."
13 第六の御使ラッパを吹きしに、神の前なる金の香壇の四つの角より聲ありて、
Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet; and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 ラッパを持てる第六の御使に『大なるユウフラテ川の邊に繋がれをる四人の御使を解放て』と言ふを聞けり。
one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, "Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates."
15 かくてその時その日その月その年に至りて、人の三分の一を殺さん爲に備へられたる四人の御使は解放たれたり。
Then the four angels that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.
16 騎兵の數は二億なり、我その數を聞けり。
The number of the hosts of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number;
17 われ幻影にてその馬と之に乘る者とを見しに、彼らは火・煙・硫黄の色したる胸當を著く。馬の頭は獅子の頭のごとくにて、その口よりは火と煙と硫黄と出づ。
and thus I saw the horses in the vision and their riders. They had breastplates of fire, "red as fire, dark blue as jacinth, and yellow as sulphur." The heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 この三つの苦痛、すなはち其の口より出づる火と煙と硫黄とに因りて、人の三分の一 殺されたり。
By these three plagues a third of mankind were killed; by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which issued from their mouths.
19 馬の力はその口とその尾とにあり、その尾は蛇の如くにして頭あり、之をもて人を害ふなり。
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents with heads, and with them they work woe.
20 これらの苦痛にて殺されざりし殘の人々は、おのが手の業を悔改めずして、なほ惡鬼を拜し、見ること聞くこと歩むこと能はぬ、金・銀・銅・石・木の偶像を拜せり、
And the rest of mankind who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They would not give up the worship of demons and of idols made of gold and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 又その殺人・咒術・淫行・竊盜を悔改めざりき。
And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their immorality, nor of their thefts.
