ヨハネの黙示録 11
1 ここにわれ杖のごとき間竿を與へられたり、かくて或 者いふ『立ちて神の聖所と香壇と其處に拜する者どもとを度れ、
And a reed, similar to a staff, was given to me. And it was said to me: “Rise up and measure the temple of God, and those who are worshiping in it, and the altar.
2 聖所の外の庭は差措きて度るな、これは異邦人に委ねられたり、彼らは四十 二个月のあひだ聖なる都を蹂躙らん。
But the atrium, which is outside of the temple, set it aside and do not measure it, because it has been given over to the Gentiles. And they shall trample upon the Holy City for forty-two months.
3 我わが二人の證人に權を與へん、彼らは荒布を著て千二百 六十日のあひだ預言すべし。
And I will present my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 彼らは地の主の御前に立てる二つのオリブの樹、二つの燈臺なり。
These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing in the sight of the lord of the earth.
5 もし彼らを害はんとする者あらば、火その口より出でてその敵を焚き盡さん。もし彼らを害はんとする者あらば、必ず斯くのごとく殺さるべし。
And if anyone will want to harm them, fire shall go forth from their mouths, and it shall devour their enemies. And if anyone will want to wound them, so must he be slain.
6 彼らは預言するあひだ雨を降らせぬやうに天を閉づる權力あり、また水を血に變らせ、思ふままに幾度にても諸種の苦難をもて地を撃つ權力あり。
These have the power to close up the heavens, so that it may not rain during the days of their prophesying. And they have power over the waters, to convert them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of affliction as often as they will.
And when they will have finished their testimony, the beast that ascended from the abyss will make war against them, and will overcome them, and will kill them. (Abyssos g12)
8 その屍體は大なる都の衢に遺らん。この都を譬へてソドムと云ひ、エジプトの云ふ、即ち彼らの主もまた十字架に釘けられ給ひし所なり。
And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the Great City, which is figuratively called ‘Sodom’ and ‘Egypt,’ the place where their Lord also was crucified.
9 もろもろの民・族・國語・國のもの、三日半の間その屍體を見、かつ其の屍體を墓に葬ることを許さざるべし。
And those from the tribes and peoples and languages and nations shall be watching their bodies for three and one half days. And they shall not permit their bodies to be placed in tombs.
10 地に住む者どもは彼らに就きて喜び樂しみ互に禮物を贈らん、此の二人の預言者は地に住む者を苦しめたればなり』
And the inhabitants of the earth will rejoice over them, and they will celebrate, and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tortured those who were living upon the earth.
11 三日半ののち生命の息、神より出でて彼らに入り、かれら足にて起ちたれば、之を見るもの大に懼れたり。
And after three and one half days, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upright on their feet. And a great fear fell over those who saw them.
12 天より大なる聲して『ここに昇れ』と言ふを彼ら聞きたれば、雲に乘りて天に昇れり、その敵も之を見たり、
And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them, “Ascend to here!” And they ascended into heaven on a cloud. And their enemies saw them.
13 このとき大なる地震ありて、都の十分の一は倒れ、地震のために死にしもの七 千 人にして、遺れる者は懼をいだき天の神に榮光を歸したり。
And at that hour, a great earthquake occurred. And one tenth part of the City fell. And the names of the men slain in the earthquake were seven thousand. And the remainder were thrown into fear, and they gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 第二の禍害すぎ去れり、視よ、第三の禍害すみやかに來るなり。
The second woe has gone out, but behold, the third woe approaches quickly.
And the seventh Angel sounded the trumpet. And there were great voices in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of this world has become our Lord’s and his Christ’s, and he shall reign forever and ever. Amen.” (aiōn g165)
16 かくて神の前にて座位に坐する二十四人の長老ひれふし神を拜して言ふ、
And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones in the sight of God, fell upon their faces, and they adored God, saying:
17 『今いまし、昔います主たる全能の神よ、なんぢの大なる能力を執りて王と成り給ひしことを感謝す。
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is, and who was, and who is to come. For you have taken your great power, and you have reigned.
18 諸國の民 怒をいだけり、なんぢの怒も亦いたれり、死にたる者を審き、なんぢの僕なる預言者および聖徒、また小なるも大なるも汝の名を畏るる者に報賞をあたへ、地を亡す者を亡したまふ時いたれり』
And the nations became angry, but your wrath arrived, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to render a reward to your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear your name, small and great, and to exterminate those who have corrupted the earth.”
19 斯くて天にある神の聖所ひらけ、聖所のうちに契約の櫃 見え、數多の電光と聲と雷霆と、また地震と大なる雹とありき。
And the temple of God was opened in heaven. And the Ark of his Testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
