Revelation 5
1 I saw that there was a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. The scroll was written on its outside as well as on its inside, and it was sealed {Someone had written on the outside as well as on the inside of the scroll and sealed it} 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 I saw a strong angel who was announcing in a loud voice, “(The person who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it should come to do it!/Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it?)” [RHQ]
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 But no created being in heaven nor any created being on the earth nor any created being under the earth was able to open the scroll and see what was written on it.
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 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
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 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry any longer! Look, the one who is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Messiah who is the descendant of King David, has overcome Satan! As a result, he is worthy to break the seven seals on the scroll and open it!”
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 Then I saw Jesus, the one who is like a [MET] sacrificial lamb, standing there. He stood near the throne, in the midst of the four living creatures and the elders. It appeared that he had been killed {that people had killed him}, but he was alive again. He had seven horns [on his head], and he had seven eyes that symbolize the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power (OR, who is also symbolized as seven spirits). [He] sends [God’s] Spirit out 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 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits 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 When he took the scroll, the four living [creatures] and the 24 elders (prostrated themselves/knelt down) before [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, [to worship him]. They each had a harp, and they had golden bowls full of incense that [represents] the prayers of God’s people.
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 The living [creatures] and the elders sang a new song. They sang: You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and because you redeemed/bought people for God from every tribe, language [MTY], people-group, and nation with the blood that flowed from your body when you died.
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 You have caused them to become a people over whom our God rules, and to become priests who serve him, and they will rule on [MTY] 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 As I [continued to] look, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and around the living [creatures] and the elders. There were millions of them, a [crowd so large that no one could count them].
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 They were singing in a loud voice: “The one who is like a lamb was killed {whom his enemies killed} but he became alive again. He is worthy that all created beings acknowledge that he is infinitely powerful, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, and infinitely strong! He is worthy of being honored and praised by all created beings!”
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 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (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 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
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。
