Revelation 5
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
第二款 羔及び七封印の巻物 我又玉座の上に坐し給ふものの右の御手の上に、内外に文字ありて七の印を以て封ぜられたる巻物を見、
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
又一の強き天使の聲高く、巻物を開きて其封印を解くに堪ふる者は誰ぞ、と布告するを見たり。
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
而も天にも地上にも地下にも、巻物を開きて之を眺むる事だに能くする者なかりき。
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
斯て誰も巻物を開きて見るにすら堪へたりと認めらるる者なきにより、我大いに泣き居たりしかば、
5 And one of the elders says to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
翁の一人我に謂ひけるは、泣く勿れ、看よやユダ族の獅子ダヴィドの萌蘗、勝利を得て巻物を開き、其七封印を解くを得給ふと。
6 And I beheld, and, see, in the middle of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
我見たるに、折しも玉座と四の動物との中央、翁等の中央に屠られたるが如き羔立ちて、是に七の角あり、又全世界に遣られし神の七霊なる七の眼あり。
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
羔來りて玉座に坐し給ふものの右の御手より巻物を受けしが、
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
其巻物を受くるや、四の動物と廿四人の翁とは羔の前に平伏し、各琴[の如きもの]又聖人等の祈なる香の充ちたる金の香炉を持ちて、
9 And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
新しき賛美歌を謳ひ、主よ汝は巻物を受けて其封印を解くに堪へ給へり、其は屠られ給ひて、御血を以て、神の為に諸族、諸語、諸民、諸國の中より人々を贖ひ、
10 And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
之を我等の神の為に王たらしめ司祭たらしめ給ひたればなり、彼等は地上を統治すべし、と言ひ居れり。
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
我尚見たるに、玉座と動物と翁等との周圍に在る、多くの天使の聲を聞けり、其數萬々億々にして、
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
聲高く言ひけるは、屠られ給ひし羔は、権威と富有と、叡智と能力と、尊貴と光榮と祝福とを受くるに堪へ給ふものなり、と。
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be to him that sits on the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
又天にも、地上にも地下にも、海上にも何處にも、被造物の悉く言へるを聞けり、玉座に坐し給ふものと羔とに、祝福と尊貴と、光榮と権能と、世々に限なし、と。 (aiōn g165)
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that lives for ever and ever.
而して四の動物はアメンと言ひ、廿四人の翁は平伏して、世々に限なく活き給ふものを禮拝し奉れり。
