< Revelation 6 >

1 And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures saying, in a voice like thunder: “Draw near and see.”
第三款 六封印解かる 我又見たるに、羔七封印の一を解き給ひしかば、四の動物の一、雷の如き聲して、來りて見よと言へるを聞けり。
2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, so that he might prevail.
又見たるに、折しも一の白馬ありて、之に乗れる者は弓を持ち且冠を授けられ、勝ちて勝たんとて出でたり。
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
[羔]第二の封印を解き給ひしかば、我第二の動物の、來りて見よ、と言へるを聞けり。
4 And another horse went forth, which was red. And it was granted to him who was sitting upon it that he would take peace from the earth, and that they would kill one another. And a great sword was given to him.
而して又一の赤馬出來りて、之に乗れるものは、地上より平和を取去りて人々をして相殺さしむる事と、大いなる剣とを授けられたり。
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: “Draw near and see.” And behold, a black horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a balance in his hand.
[羔]又第三の封印を解き給ひしかば、我第三の動物の、來りて見よと言へるを聞けり。然て一の黒馬ありて、之に乗れる者は手に量を持てり。
6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A double measure of wheat for a denarius, and three double measures of barley for a denarius, but do no harm to wine and oil.”
斯て四の動物の間に聲の如きものありて、小麦一升、一デナリオ、大麦三升、一デナリオなり、葡萄酒と油とを害ふ勿れ、と言へるを聞けり。
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
[羔]又第四の封印を解き給ひしかば、我第四の動物の聲の、來りて見よと言へるを聞けり。
8 And behold, a pale horse. And he who was sitting upon it, his name was Death, and Hell was following him. And authority was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to destroy by the sword, by famine, and by death, and by the creatures of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
折しも死色の馬ありて、之に乗れるものは名を死と云ひ、冥府其後に從ひ、彼は剣と飢饉と死亡と地の猛獣とを以て地上の人の四分の一を殺す権力を授けられたり。 (Hadēs g86)
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony that they held.
[羔]又第五の封印を解き給ひしかば、我神の御言の為、及び其為しし證明の為に殺されたる人々の魂、祭壇の下に在るを見たり。
10 And they were crying out with a loud voice, saying: “How long, O Holy and True Lord, will you not judge and not vindicate our blood against those who dwell upon the earth?”
彼等聲高く呼はりて、聖にして眞實にて在せる主よ、何時までか審判し給はずして、地に住める人々に我等が血の復讐を為し給はざる、と言ひ居れり。
11 And white robes were given to each of them. And they were told that they should rest for a brief time, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who were to be slain even as they were slain, would be completed.
斯て各白き衣を授けられ、暫く安んじて己等の如くに殺さるべき同じ僕と兄弟との數の満つるを待て、と謂はれたり。
12 And when he had opened the sixth seal, I saw, and behold, a great earthquake occurred. And the sun became black, like a haircloth sack, and the entire moon became like blood.
[羔]又第六の封印を解き給ひしかば、我見たるに、折しも大地震ありて、日は毛衣の如くに黒く成り、月は全面血の如くに成れり。
13 And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, just as when a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, drops its immature figs.
而して天より星の地上に落つる事、恰も無花果の樹の大風に吹揺らるる時、晩生の果の落つるが如し。
14 And heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved from their places.
天は巻物を捲くが如くに去り、山と島とは悉く其處を移され、
15 And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the military leaders, and the wealthy, and the strong, and everyone, servant and free, hid themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
地上の帝王と大人と、千夫長と富豪と、権力者と、又奴隷も自由なる者も、皆身を洞穴、山の巌の内に匿し、
16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
山と巌とに對ひて言ひけるは、汝等我等が上に墜ちて、玉座の上に坐し給ふものの御顔と羔の御怒とを避けしめよ、
17 For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”
蓋彼等の御怒の大いなる日は來れり、誰か立つ事を得べき、と。
