ヨハネの黙示録 10

1 我また一人の強き御使の、雲を著て天より降るを見たり。その頭の上に虹あり、その顏は日の如く、その足は火の柱のごとし。

And I saw another strong Angel, descending from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like columns of fire.

2 その手には展きたる小き卷 物をもち、右の足を海の上におき、左の足を地の上におき、

And he held in his hand a small open book. And he stationed his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the land.

3 獅子の吼ゆる如く大聲に呼はれり、呼はりたるとき七つの雷霆おのおの聲を出せり。

And he cried out with a great voice, in the manner of a lion roaring. And when he had cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 七つの雷霆の語りし時、われ書き記さんとせしに、天より聲ありて『七つの雷霆の語りしことは封じて書き記すな』といふを聞けり。

And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: “Seal the things that the seven thunders have spoken, and do not write them.”

5 かくて我が見しところの海と地とに跨り立てる御使は、天にむかひて右の手を擧げ、

And the Angel, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the land, lifted up his hand toward heaven.

6 天および其の中に在るもの、地および其の中にあるもの、海および其の中にある物を造り給ひし、世々 限りなく生きたまふ者を指し、誓ひて言ふ『この後、時は延ぶることなし。 (aiōn g165)

And he swore by the One who lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that are in it; and the earth, and the things that are in it; and the sea, and the things that are in it: that the time will not be any longer, (aiōn g165)

7 第七の御使の吹かんとするラッパの聲の出づる時に至りて、神の僕なる預言者たちに示し給ひし如く、その奧義は成就せらるべし』

but in the days of the voice of the seventh Angel, when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God will be completed, just as he has proclaimed in the Gospel, through his servants the Prophets.

8 かくて我が前に天より聞きし聲のまた我に語りて『なんぢ往きて、海と地とに跨り立てる御使の手にある展きたる卷 物を取れ』と言ふを聞けり。

And again, I heard a voice from heaven speaking with me and saying: “Go and receive the open book from the hand of the Angel who stands upon the sea and upon the land.”

9 われ御使のもとに往きて、小き卷 物を我に與へんことを請ひたれば、彼いふ『これを取りて食ひ盡せ、さらば汝の腹 苦くならん、然れど其の口には蜜のごとく甘からん』

And I went to the Angel, saying to him that he should give the book to me. And he said to me: “Receive the book and consume it. And it shall cause bitterness in your stomach, but in your mouth it shall be sweet like honey.”

10 われ御使の手より小き卷 物をとりて食ひ盡したれば、口には蜜のごとく甘かりしが、食ひし後わが腹は苦くなれり。

And I received the book from the hand of the Angel, and I consumed it. And it was sweet like honey in my mouth. And when I had consumed it, my stomach was made bitter.

11 また或 物われに言ふ『なんぢ再び多くの民・國・國語・王たちに就きて預言すべし』

And he said to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again about many nations and peoples and languages and kings.”
