ヨハネの黙示録 9
And the fifth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I saw upon the earth, a star that had fallen from heaven, and the key to the well of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well. (Abyssos g12)
3 煙の中より蝗 地上に出でて、地の蝎のもてる力のごとき力を與へられ、
And locusts went forth from the smoke of the well into the earth. And power was given to them, like the power that the scorpions of the earth have.
4 地の草すべての青きもの又すべての樹を害ふことなく、ただ額に神の印なき人をのみ害ふことを命ぜられたり。
And it was commanded of them that they must not harm the plants of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of God upon their foreheads.
5 されど彼らを殺すことを許されず、五月のあひだ苦しむることを許さる、その苦痛は、蝎に刺されたる苦痛のごとし。
And it was given to them that they would not kill them, but that they would torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
6 このとき人々、死を求むとも見出さず、死なんと欲すとも死は逃げ去るべし。
And in those days, men will seek death and they will not find it. And they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 かの蝗の形は戰爭の爲に具へたる馬のごとく、頭には金に似たる冠冕の如きものあり、顏は人の顏のごとく、
And the likenesses of the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were something like crowns similar to gold. And their faces were like the faces of men.
8 之に女の頭髮のごとき頭髮あり、齒は獅子の齒のごとし。
And they had hair like the hair of women. And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 また鐵の胸當のごとき胸當あり、その翼の音は軍車の轟くごとく、多くの馬の戰鬪に馳せゆくが如し。
And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the noise of their wings was like the noise of many running horses, rushing to battle.
10 また蝎のごとき尾ありて之に刺あり、この尾に五月のあひだ人を害ふ力あり。
And they had tails similar to scorpions. And there were stingers in their tails, and these had the power to harm men for five months.
And they had over them a king, the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Doom; in Greek, Destroyer; in Latin, Exterminator. (Abyssos g12)
12 第一の禍害すぎ去れり、視よ、此の後なほ二つの禍害きたらん。
One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.
13 第六の御使ラッパを吹きしに、神の前なる金の香壇の四つの角より聲ありて、
And the sixth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I heard a lone voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before the eyes of God,
14 ラッパを持てる第六の御使に『大なるユウフラテ川の邊に繋がれをる四人の御使を解放て』と言ふを聞けり。
saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 かくてその時その日その月その年に至りて、人の三分の一を殺さん爲に備へられたる四人の御使は解放たれたり。
And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.
16 騎兵の數は二億なり、我その數を聞けり。
And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.
17 われ幻影にてその馬と之に乘る者とを見しに、彼らは火・煙・硫黄の色したる胸當を著く。馬の頭は獅子の頭のごとくにて、その口よりは火と煙と硫黄と出づ。
And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulphur.
18 この三つの苦痛、すなはち其の口より出づる火と煙と硫黄とに因りて、人の三分の一 殺されたり。
And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.
19 馬の力はその口とその尾とにあり、その尾は蛇の如くにして頭あり、之をもて人を害ふなり。
For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.
20 これらの苦痛にて殺されざりし殘の人々は、おのが手の業を悔改めずして、なほ惡鬼を拜し、見ること聞くこと歩むこと能はぬ、金・銀・銅・石・木の偶像を拜せり、
And the rest of men, who were not slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 又その殺人・咒術・淫行・竊盜を悔改めざりき。
And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
