Revelation 6
1 I saw that [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, opened the first of the seven seals [of the scroll]. Then I heard one of the four living [creatures] say in a voice [as loud] as [SIM] thunder, “Come!”
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 Then I saw a white horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a bow [and arrows]. [God] gave him a crown [to show that he was the king]. Then the one who conquers [people] went out to continue to conquer [people].
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 When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
[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 Then a red horse came out. The one sitting on it was allowed {[God] allowed the one sitting on it} to cause [people] to no longer [live] peacefully, but instead to be killing each other. [For this purpose] he was given {[God’s agent] gave to him} a large sword.
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 When [the one who is like a] lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living [creature] say, “Come!” This time, I saw a black horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a pair of scales 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 I heard a voice [that sounded] like [it was coming from] among the four living [creatures]. It was saying ([to the horseman/to the man who was sitting on the black horse]), “A quart of wheat [will cost so much that] a man must work a whole day to earn enough money to buy it, and three quarts of barley will sell for the same price. But do not cut off [the supply of] olive oil or the wine [MTY]!”
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 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
[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 This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (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 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under (OR, at the base of) the altar [in heaven] the souls of [God’s servants] who had been killed {whom [people had] killed} because of [their believing] God’s message, and because they told others [the message about Jesus].
[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 They spoke loudly [to God] saying, “Sovereign/Almighty Lord, you are holy and faithful. How long [will it be] before you judge [and punish] the people on earth who murdered [us(exc)]?”
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 [God] gave to each of them a long white robe, and [he] told them to rest a little longer until [people] killed all the believers who served [the Lord] with them. They were believers whom [God wanted to die in just the same way] that these others had been killed.
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 I saw that when [the one who is like a] lamb opened the sixth seal, the earth shook violently. The sun became as black as cloth made (of [black] wool/of pitch). The whole moon became [red] [SIM] 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 The stars fell to the earth [in great numbers], just [SIM] like immature figs fall when a fig tree is shaken by a strong wind {when a strong wind shakes a fig tree}.
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 The sky split open and [rolled up on either side] just [SIM] like an [old] scroll rolls up [when it is split in two]. Every mountain and island moved out of its place.
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 [As a result, all the rebellious people] of the earth, [including] kings, high-ranking people, generals, the rich people, the powerful people, along with everyone [else], both slave and free, hid themselves in caves and between the mountain rocks.
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 They shouted to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us [(exc)] and hide us [(exc)] in order that the one who sits upon the throne will not be able to see us [(exc)] [MTY], and [in order that] the [one who is like a] lamb will not be able to punish [MTY] us [(exc)].
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 This is the terrible day on which they will punish [MTY] us [(exc)], and [when that happens], no one will be able to survive! [RHQ]”
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。
