ヨハネの黙示録 11
1 それから、わたしはつえのような測りざおを与えられて、こう命じられた、「さあ立って、神の聖所と祭壇と、そこで礼拝している人々とを、測りなさい。
And there was given to me a measuring rod: and one said, Go up and take the measure of the house of God, and the altar, and the worshippers in it.
2 聖所の外の庭はそのままにしておきなさい。それを測ってはならない。そこは異邦人に与えられた所だから。彼らは、四十二か月の間この聖なる都を踏みにじるであろう。
But do not take the measure of the space outside the house; because it has been given to the nations: and the holy town will be under their feet for forty-two months.
3 そしてわたしは、わたしのふたりの証人に、荒布を着て、千二百六十日のあいだ預言することを許そう」。
And I will give orders to my two witnesses, and they will be prophets for a thousand, two hundred and sixty days, clothed with haircloth.
4 彼らは、全地の主のみまえに立っている二本のオリブの木、また、二つの燭台である。
These are the two olive-trees and the two lights, which are before the Lord of the earth.
5 もし彼らに害を加えようとする者があれば、彼らの口から火が出て、その敵を滅ぼすであろう。もし彼らに害を加えようとする者があれば、その者はこのように殺されねばならない。
And if any man would do them damage, fire comes out of their mouth and puts an end to those who are working against them: and if any man has a desire to do them damage, in this way will he be put to death.
6 預言をしている期間、彼らは、天を閉じて雨を降らせないようにする力を持っている。さらにまた、水を血に変え、何度でも思うままに、あらゆる災害で地を打つ力を持っている。
These have the power to keep the heaven shut, so that there may be no rain in the days when they are prophets: and they have power over the waters to make them into blood, and to send every sort of disease on the earth as their pleasure is.
And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death. (Abyssos g12)
8 彼らの死体はソドムや、エジプトにたとえられている大いなる都の大通りにさらされる。彼らの主も、この都で十字架につけられたのである。
And their dead bodies will be in the open street of the great town, which in the spirit is named Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was put to death on the cross.
9 いろいろな民族、部族、国語、国民に属する人々が、三日半の間、彼らの死体をながめるが、その死体を墓に納めることは許さない。
And the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will be looking on their dead bodies three days and a half, and will not let their dead bodies be put in the earth.
10 地に住む人々は、彼らのことで喜び楽しみ、互に贈り物をしあう。このふたりの預言者は、地に住む者たちを悩ましたからである。
And those who are on the earth will have pleasure and delight over them; and they will send offerings one to another because these two prophets gave great trouble to all on the earth.
11 三日半の後、いのちの息が、神から出て彼らの中にはいり、そして、彼らが立ち上がったので、それを見た人々は非常な恐怖に襲われた。
And after three days and a half the breath of life from God went into them, and they got up on their feet; and great fear came on those who saw them.
12 その時、天から大きな声がして、「ここに上ってきなさい」と言うのを、彼らは聞いた。そして、彼らは雲に乗って天に上った。彼らの敵はそれを見た。
And a great voice from heaven came to their ears, saying to them, Come up here. And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and were seen by those desiring their death.
13 この時、大地震が起って、都の十分の一は倒れ、その地震で七千人が死に、生き残った人々は驚き恐れて、天の神に栄光を帰した。
And in that hour there was a great earth-shock and a tenth part of the town came to destruction; and in the earth-shock seven thousand persons came to their end: and the rest were in fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 第二のわざわいは、過ぎ去った。見よ、第三のわざわいがすぐに来る。
The second Trouble is past: see, the third Trouble comes quickly.
And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
16 そして、神のみまえで座についている二十四人の長老は、ひれ伏し、神を拝して言った、
And the four and twenty rulers, who are seated before God on their high seats, went down on their faces and gave worship to God, saying,
17 「今いまし、昔いませる、全能者にして主なる神よ。大いなる御力をふるって支配なさったことを、感謝します。
We give you praise, O Lord God, Ruler of all, who is and who was; because you have taken up your great power and are ruling your kingdom.
18 諸国民は怒り狂いましたが、あなたも怒りをあらわされました。そして、死人をさばき、あなたの僕なる預言者、聖徒、小さき者も、大いなる者も、すべて御名をおそれる者たちに報いを与え、また、地を滅ぼす者どもを滅ぼして下さる時がきました」。
And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time of reward for your servants, the prophets, and for the saints, and for those in whom is the fear of your name, small and great, and the time of destruction for those who made the earth unclean.
19 そして、天にある神の聖所が開けて、聖所の中に契約の箱が見えた。また、いなずまと、もろもろの声と、雷鳴と、地震とが起り、大粒の雹が降った。
And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.
