Revelation 15
1 Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
また私は、天にもう一つの巨大な驚くべきしるしを見た。七人の御使いが、最後の七つの災害を携えていた。神の激しい怒りはここに窮まるのである。
2 I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
私は、火の混じった、ガラスの海のようなものを見た。獣と、その像と、その名を示す数字とに打ち勝った人々が、神の立琴を手にして、このガラスの海のほとりに立っていた。
3 They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
彼らは、神のしもべモーセの歌と小羊の歌とを歌って言った。 「あなたのみわざは偉大であり、驚くべきものです。主よ。万物の支配者である神よ。あなたの道は正しく、真実です。もろもろの民の王よ。
4 O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
主よ。だれかあなたを恐れず、御名をほめたたえない者があるでしょうか。ただあなただけが、聖なる方です。すべての国々の民は来て、あなたの御前にひれ伏します。あなたの正しいさばきが、明らかにされたからです。」
5 After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
その後、また私は見た。天にある、あかしの幕屋の聖所が開いた。
6 The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
そしてその聖所から、七つの災害を携えた七人の御使いが出て来た。彼らは、きよい光り輝く亜麻布を着て、胸には金の帯を締めていた。
7 One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn g165)
また、四つの生き物の一つが、永遠に生きておられる神の御怒りの満ちた七つの金の鉢を、七人の御使いに渡した。 (aiōn g165)
8 The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
聖所は神の栄光と神の大能から立ち上る煙で満たされ、七人の御使いたちの七つの災害が終わるまでは、だれもその聖所に、はいることができなかった。
