Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)
第五の天使喇叭を吹きしに、我一の星の天より地に落ちたるを見たり。然て彼は底なき淵の穴の鍵を授けられ、 (Abyssos g12)
2 He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
淵の穴を開きしかば、大いなる炉の烟の如き烟穴より立昇りて、日も空も穴の烟の為に暗まされたり。 (Abyssos g12)
3 Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
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、
4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.
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。
5 They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
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。
6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
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。
7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.
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、
8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
女の髪毛の如き毛ありて、歯は獅子の歯に等しく、
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
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、
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
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。
11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon”, but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon”. (Abyssos g12)
此蝗を司る王は底なき淵の使にして、名はヘブレオ語にてアバッドン、ギリシア語にてアポルリオンと云ひ、ラテン語[の意味]は破壊者なり。 (Abyssos g12)
12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
一の禍過ぎて尚二の禍來らんとす。
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
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、
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
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、
15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.
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。
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
騎兵の數は二億にして我其數を聞けり。
17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
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、
18 By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
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。
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.
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。
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can’t see, hear, or walk.
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、
21 They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
其殺人、其害毒、其私通、其窃取の罪よりも改心せざりき。
