ヨハネの黙示録 4
1 この後われ見しに、視よ、天に開けたる門あり。初に我に語るを聞きしラッパのごとき聲いふ『ここに登れ、我この後おこるべき事を汝に示さん』
After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this."
2 直ちに、われ御靈に感ぜしが、視よ、天に御座 設けあり。
Immediately I was in the Rukha; and look, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne.
3 その御座に坐したまふ者あり、その坐し給ふものの状は碧玉・赤瑪瑙のごとく、かつ御座の周圍には緑玉のごとき虹ありき。
And the one who sat there looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
4 また御座のまはりに二十四の座位ありて、二十四人の長老、白き衣を纏ひ、首に金の冠冕を戴きて、その座位に坐せり。
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
5 御座より數多の電光と聲と雷霆と出づ。また御座の前に燃えたる七つの燈火あり、これ神の七つの靈なり。
And from the throne came flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven torches of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 御座のまへに水晶に似たる玻璃の海あり。御座の中央と御座の周圍とに四つの活物ありて、前も後も數々の目にて滿ちたり。
Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
7 第一の活物は獅子のごとく、第二の活物は牛のごとく、第三の活物は面のかたち人のごとく、第四の活物は飛ぶ鷲のごとし。
The first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
8 この四つの活物おのおの六つの翼あり、翼の内も外も數々の目にて滿ちたり、日も夜も絶間なく言ふ、『聖なるかな、聖なるかな、聖なるかな、昔いまし、今いまし、のち來りたまふ主たる全能の神』
The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts, who was and who is and who is to come."
And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 『我らの主なる神よ、榮光と尊崇と能力とを受け給ふは宜なり。汝は萬物を造りたまひ、萬物は御意によりて存し、かつ造られたり』
"Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created."
