ヨハネの黙示録 11
1 斯て我杖の如き葦の測量竿與へられて謂れけるは、起きよ、神の聖殿と祭壇と、其處に禮拝する人々とを度れ。
Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there.
2 然れど殿外の庭は、措きて之を度ること勿れ、其は異邦人に委ねられたればなり。而して彼等は四十二箇月の間、聖なる都を踏荒さんとす。
But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.
3 我わが二個の證人に力を與へん、斯て彼等毛衣を着て、一千二百六十日の間預言すべし。
And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 彼等は地の主の御前に立てる二の橄欖樹、二の燈台なり。
These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
5 若是等を害せんとする人あらば、火其口より出でて其敵を亡ぼさん。若彼等を傷はんとする人あらば、斯の如くにして亡ぼさるべし。
If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed.
6 彼等は預言する間、雨をして降らざらしむべく、天を閉づる力あり、又水をして血に變ぜしめ、思ふが儘に幾度も有らゆる天災を以て地を打つの力あり。
These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.
When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
8 其屍は例へばソドマともエジプトとも名づけらるる大都會、即ち彼等の主の十字架に釘けられ給ひし所の衢に遺らん。
Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.
9 且諸族、諸民、諸語、諸國に属する人、三日半の間其屍を見るも之を墓に収むるを許さじ。
For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb.
10 地上に住める人は之が為に歓樂しみ、且互に禮物を贈らん、其は彼二人の預言者地上の人を苦しめたればなり。
And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.
11 然れども三日半の後は、生命の霊神よりして彼等に入り、彼等足にて立ち、之を見たる人々は大いに懼を懐きしが、
But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them.
12 天より大いなる聲聞えて、此處に昇れと言ひしかば、彼等雲に乗りて天に昇り、彼等之を見たり。
And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.
13 尚其時大いなる地震ありて、市の十分の一は倒れ、七千人の人地震の為に殺され、殘れる者は懼しさに堪へず、天の神に光榮を歸し奉れり。
And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 第二の禍過去りて第三の禍将に來らんとす。
The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.
15 第四款 第七の喇叭神の國を報ず 第七の天使喇叭を吹きしかば、天に大いなる聲響きて言ひけるは、此世の國は我主と其キリストとのものと成りたれば、世々に限なく統治し給ふべし、アメン、と。 (aiōn g165)
Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
16 是に於て神の御前に、己が座に坐し居たりし廿四人の翁、平伏して神を禮拝し、
And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,
17 然て言ひけるは、曾て在し、今も在し、且來り給ふべき全能の神にて在す主よ、我等汝に感謝し奉る、其は、己が大いなる能力を執りて統治し給へばなり。
saying: “We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.
18 諸國民怒を起したるに、主の御怒亦來れり、且死者審判せられて、主の僕なる預言者、聖人等、及び大小を問はず御名を畏める人々に報を與へ、地上を腐敗せしめたる人々を亡ぼし給ふ時來れり、と。
The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great— and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
19 斯て天に於て神の聖殿開け、神の契約の櫃其聖殿に現れ、電光と多くの聲と地震と大いなる雹と起れり。
Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
