ヨハネの黙示録 9
And the fifth Angel blew the trumpet, and I saw a starre fall from heauen vnto the earth, and to him was giuen the key of the bottomlesse pit. (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the bottomlesse pit, and there arose the smoke of the pit, as the smoke of a great fornace, and the sunne, and the ayre were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 その煙の中から、いなごが地上に出て来た。彼らには、地のさそりの持つような力が与えられた。
And there came out of the smoke Locustes vpon the earth, and vnto them was giuen power, as the scorpions of the earth haue power.
4 そして彼らは、地の草やすべての青草や、すべての木には害を加えないで、ただ、額に神の印を押されていない人間にだけ害を加えるように言い渡された。
And it was comanded them, that they should not hurt the grasse of the earth, neither any greene thing, neither any tree: but onely those men which haue not the seale of God in their foreheads.
5 しかし、人間を殺すことは許されず、ただ五か月の間苦しめることだけが許された。その与えた苦痛は、さそりが人を刺したときのような苦痛であった。
And to them was comanded that they should not kill them, but that they should be vexed fiue moneths, and that their paine should be as the paine that commeth of a scorpion, when he hath stung a man.
6 その期間には、人々は死を求めるが、どうしても見いだせず、死を願うが、死が彼らから逃げて行くのである。
Therefore in those dayes shall men seeke death, and shall not finde it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flie from them.
7 そのいなごの形は、出陣の用意の整った馬に似ていた。頭に金の冠のようなものを着け、顔は人間の顔のようであった。
And the forme of the locustes was like vnto horses prepared vnto battel, and on their heads were as it were crownes, like vnto golde, and their faces were like the faces of men.
8 また女の髪のような毛があり、歯は、ししの歯のようであった。
And they had heare as the heare of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lyons.
9 また、鉄の胸当てのような胸当てを着け、その翼の音は、多くの馬に引かれた戦車が、戦いに馳せつけるときの響きのようであった。
And they had habbergions, like to habbergions of yron: and the soud of their wings was like the sound of charets whe many horses runne vnto battel.
10 そのうえ彼らは、さそりのような尾と針とを持っており、尾には、五か月間人間に害を加える力があった。
And they had tailes like vnto scorpions, and there were stings in their tailes, and their power was to hurt men fiue moneths.
And they haue a King ouer them, which is the Angel of the bottomlesse pit, whose name in Hebrewe is Abaddon, and in Greeke he is named Apollyon, that is, destroying. (Abyssos g12)
12 第一のわざわいは過ぎ去った。見よ。この後なお二つのわざわいが来る。
One woe is past, and beholde, yet two woes come after this.
13 第六の御使いがラッパを吹き鳴らした。すると、私は神の御前にある金の祭壇の四隅から出る声を聞いた。
Then the sixt Angel blew the trumpet, and I heard a voyce from the foure hornes of the golden altar, which is before God,
14 その声がラッパを持っている第六の御使いに言った。「大川ユーフラテスのほとりにつながれている四人の御使いを解き放せ。」
Saying to the sixt Angel, which had the trumpet, Loose the foure Angels, which are bound in the great riuer Euphrates.
15 すると、定められた時、日、月、年のために用意されていた四人の御使いが、人類の三分の一を殺すために解き放された。
And the foure Angels were loosed, which were prepared at an houre, at a day, at a moneth, and at a yeere, to slay the thirde part of men.
16 騎兵の軍勢の数は二億であった。私はその数を聞いた。
And the nomber of horsemen of warre were twentie thousand times ten thousand: for I heard the nomber of them.
17 私が幻の中で見た馬とそれに乗る人たちの様子はこうであった。騎兵は、火のような赤、くすぶった青、燃える硫黄の色の胸当てを着けており、馬の頭は、ししの頭のようで、口からは火と煙と硫黄とが出ていた。
And thus I saw the horses in a vision, and them that sate on them, hauing firie habbergions, and of Iacinth, and of brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heades of lyons: and out of their mouthes went foorth fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 これらの三つの災害、すなわち、彼らの口から出ている火と煙と硫黄とのために、人類の三分の一は殺された。
Of these three was the thirde part of men killed, that is, of the fire, and of the smoke, and of the brimstone, which came out of their mouthes.
19 馬の力はその口とその尾とにあって、その尾は蛇のようであり、それに頭があって、その頭で害を加えるのである。
For their power is in their mouths, and in their tailes: for their tailes were like vnto serpents, and had heades, wherewith they hurt.
20 これらの災害によって殺されずに残った人々は、その手のわざを悔い改めないで、悪霊どもや、金、銀、銅、石、木で造られた、見ることも聞くことも歩くこともできない偶像を拝み続け、
And the remnant of the men which were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their handes that they should not worship deuils, and idoles of golde and of siluer, and of brasse, and of stone, and of wood, which neither can see, neither heare nor goe.
21 その殺人や、魔術や、不品行や、盗みを悔い改めなかった。
Also they repented not of their murder, and of their sorcerie, neither of their fornication, nor of their theft.
