ヨハネの黙示録 9
And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 又穴の烟より蝗地上に出でて、地の蠍の如き力を授けられ、
And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,
4 地の草、凡ての青物、及び如何なる樹木をも害する事なく、唯己が額に神の印を有せざる人々をのみ害すべき事を命ぜられたり。
and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but — the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads,
5 但之を殺す事なく、五箇月の間苦しむる力を授けられ、其苦は蠍の人を刺したる時の苦に等し。
and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is] as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;
6 此時人々死を求めて而も之に遇はず死を望みて而も死は彼等を遠ざかるべし。
and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.
7 彼蝗の状は戰に備へたる馬に似て、頭には金に似たる冠の如きものあり、顔は人の顔の如く、
And the likenesses of the locusts [are] like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,
8 女の髪毛の如き毛ありて、歯は獅子の歯に等しく、
and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] of lions,
9 鉄の鎧の如き鎧ありて、翼の音は多くの馬に曳かれて戰場に走る車の音の如く、
and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings [is] as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;
10 尚蠍の如き尾ありて、其尾に刺あり、其力は五箇月の間人を害すべし。
and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five months;
and they have over them a king — the messenger of the abyss — a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 一の禍過ぎて尚二の禍來らんとす。
The first woe did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.
13 第六の天使喇叭を吹きしかば我聞きたるに、神の御目前なる金の香台の四隅より一の聲出で、
And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,
14 喇叭を持てる第六の天使に謂ひけるは、ユウフラテの大河の辺に繋がれたる四の天使を免せ、と、
saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, 'Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;'
15 斯て年月日時を期して人間の三分の一を殺さんと構へたる、四の天使免されたり。
and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;
16 騎兵の數は二億にして我其數を聞けり。
and the number of the forces of the horsemen [is] two myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them.
17 然て我幻影に其馬を見しが、之に乗れる者は緋色、紫色、硫黄色の鎧を着け、馬の頭は獅子の頭の如くにして、其口より火と烟と硫黄と出で、
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [are] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and brimstone;
18 此三の禍、即ち其口より出づる火と烟と硫黄との為に人間の三分の一殺されたり。
by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,
19 其馬の力は口と尾とに在り、其尾は蛇の如くにして頭を備へ、之を以て害を加ふるなり。
for their authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure;
20 是等の禍によりて殺されざりし人々は、尚其手の業より改心せずして惡鬼等を拝し、見聞き歩む事を得ざる金、銀、銅、木、石の偶像を拝する事を歇めず、
and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk,
21 其殺人、其害毒、其私通、其窃取の罪よりも改心せざりき。
yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.
