ヨハネの黙示録 4
1 第一款 豫備の出現 其後我見たるに、折しも天に開けたる門あり、而して我が初に我に語るを聞きし喇叭の如き聲言ひけるは、此處に登れ、我此後に成るべき事を汝に示さん、と。
After these things I looked and wow—a door standing open in the sky, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here and I will show you the things that must take place after these.”
2 斯て我忽ち氣を奪はれたるが如くになりしに、折しも天に一の玉座備へられ、其玉座の上に坐し給ふものありて、
And immediately I was in spirit, and there, a throne set in heaven (and One sitting on the throne)
3 其坐し給ふものは碧玉及び赤條瑪瑙の象の如く、又玉座の周圍に緑玉の象の如き虹ありき。
similar in appearance to a stone, jasper and carnelian, and there was a rainbow around the throne, similar in appearance to an emerald.
4 然て玉座の周圍に廿四の高座あり、其高座の上には白衣を纏ひて頭に金冠を戴ける廿四人の翁坐し居れり。
And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw the twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes and golden crowns on their heads.
5 斯て玉座より電光と數多の聲と雷鳴と出でつつありしが、玉座の正面には輝く七の燈火あり、是即ち神の七霊なり。
And out of the throne came lightnings and noises and thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before His throne, which are seven spirits of God;
6 又玉座の前に水晶に似たる玻璃の海あり、玉座の中央と周圍とに、前後共に目にて満ちたる四の動物ありき。
and before the throne it was like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living beings full of eyes, front and back.
7 第一の動物は獅子の如く、第二の動物は犢の如く、第三の動物は人の如き顔ありて、第四の動物は飛ぶ鷲の如し。
The first living being was similar to a lion, the second living being was similar to a calf, the third living being had a face like a man, and the fourth living being was similar to a flying eagle.
8 此四の動物各六の翼ありて、内外共に目にて満ち、晝夜絶間なく、聖なる哉、聖なる哉、聖なる哉、曾て在し、今も在し、又将に來り給ふべき全能の神にて在す主よ、と言ひ居れり。
And the four living beings, each one of them, having six wings apiece, were full of eyes around and within. And they take no rest, day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; The Lord God Almighty; He who was and who is and who is coming!”
And whenever the living beings ascribe glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying: (aiōn g165)
11 主にて在す我等の神よ、主こそは光榮と尊崇と能力とを受け給ふべけれ、其は御自ら萬物を創造し給ひ、萬物の存在にして創造せられしは御旨によればなり、と言ひ居れり。
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created!”
