Revelation 19
1 After this, I heard what seemed to be a great shout from a vast throng in Heaven, crying — ‘Hallelujah! To our God belong Salvation, and Glory, and Power,
其後我、大群衆の聲の如きものの天に於て斯く言へるを聞けり、アレルヤ、救霊と光榮と能力とは我神に歸す、
2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has passed judgment upon the Great Harlot who was corrupting the earth by her licentiousness, and he has taken vengeance upon her for the blood of his servants.’
蓋其淫亂を以て地上を腐敗せしめたる大淫婦を審判し給ひしものの審判は、眞に且正しくして、己が僕等の血の報を彼の手に求め給ひしなり、と。
3 Again they cried — ‘Hallelujah!’ And the smoke from her ruins rises for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
又重ねて言ひけるは、アレルヤ、彼が烟立昇りて世々に限なし、と。 (aiōn g165)
4 Then the twenty-four Councillors and the Four Creatures prostrated themselves and worshiped God who was seated upon the throne, crying — ‘Amen, Hallelujah!’;
而して廿四人の翁と四の動物と平伏して、玉座に坐し給ふ神を禮拝し奉り、アメン、アレルヤ、と稱へたり。
5 and from the throne there came a voice which said — ‘Praise our God all you who serve him, You who reverence him, both high and low.’
斯て聲玉座より出でて言ひけるは、総て神の僕たる者、又大小を問はず之を畏るる者よ、我神を賛美し奉れ、と。
6 Then I heard ‘what seemed to be the shout of a vast throng, like the sound of many waters,’ and like the sound of loud peals of thunder, crying — ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord is King, our God, the Almighty.
我又大群衆の聲の如く、大水の聲の如く、大いなる雷の聲の如きものの斯く言へるを聞けり、アレルヤ、蓋我全能の神にて在す主は統治し給へるなり。
7 Let us rejoice and exalt; and we will pay him honour, for the hour for the Marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready.
将我等は歓び躍りて之に光榮を歸し奉らん、蓋羔の婚禮の期至りて、其新婦既に準備を調へ、
8 And to her it has been granted to robe herself in fine linen, white and pure, for that linen is the good deeds of the People of Christ.’
潔くして輝ける亜麻布を身に装ふことを得しめられたり、と。亜麻布とは聖人の正しき業なり。
9 Then a voice said to me ‘Write — “Blessed are those who have been summoned to the marriage feast of the Lamb.”’ And the voice said — ‘These words of God are true.’
[天使]又我に謂ひけるは、羔の婚筵に召されし人々は福なる哉、と書け、と。又我に謂ひけるは、是ぞ神の眞の御言なる、と。
10 I prostrated myself at the feet of him who spoke to worship him, but he said to me — ‘Forbear; I am your fellow-servant, and the fellow-servant of your Brothers who bear their testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For to bear testimony to Jesus needs the inspiration of the Prophets.’
斯て我之を禮拝せんとして、其足下に平伏しければ、又我に謂ひけるは、然する事勿れ、我は汝及びイエズスの證を有せる汝が兄弟等と同様の僕なり、神をば禮拝し奉れ、其は預言の霊はイエズスを證し奉ればなり、と。
11 Then I saw that Heaven lay open. There appears a white horse; its rider is called ‘Faithful’ and ‘True’; righteously does he judge and make war.
第一項 キリストの決勝 第三編 キリスト及び聖會の決勝 又見たるに、折しも天開けて一の白馬あり、之に乗れるは忠信者、眞實者と稱せらるる者にして、正義を以て審判し且戰ひ給ひ、
12 His eyes are flaming fires; on his head there are many diadems, and he bears a name, written, which no one knows but himself;
御目は焔の如く、頭には數多の冠を戴き、又記せる名ありて、自らの外誰も之を知る者なく、
13 he has been clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood; and the name by which he is called is ‘The Word of God.’
又血に塗れたる衣服を纏ひ給ひて、名を神の御言と稱す。
14 The armies of Heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
又天に在る諸軍は白馬に乗り、白く潔き亜麻布を纏ひ給ひて之に從ひ居れり。
15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which ‘to smite the nations; and he will rule them with an iron rod.’ He ‘treads the grapes in the press’ of the maddening wine of the Wrath of Almighty God;
而して諸民を撃つべき兩刃の利き剣、彼の口より出で、彼は鉄の杖を以て諸民を治め給ふべく、又自ら全能の神の御怒の搾槽を踏み給ひ、
16 and on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written — ‘KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.’
衣の上股の處に其名記されて、諸王の王、諸主の主、とあり。
17 Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He cried in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven — ‘Gather and come to the great feast of God,
又見たるに、一の天使太陽の中に立ちて、空の中央を飛べる一切の鳥に對ひ、聲高く呼はりて言ひけるは、汝等來りて神の大いなる饗筵に集れ、
18 to eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all freemen and slaves, and of high and low.’
諸國王の肉、千夫長等の肉、権力者の肉、馬と之に乗れる人々との肉、総て自由なるもの奴隷たるもの、大人小人の肉を喰ふべし、と。
19 Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight with him who sat on the horse and with his army.
又見たるに、彼獣と地上の諸國王と其軍隊と既に集りて、白馬に乗り給へるもの及び其軍隊と戰はんとしたるに、
20 The Beast was captured, and with him was taken the false Prophet, who performed the marvels before the eyes of the Beast, with which he deceived those who had received the brand of the Beast and those who worshiped his image. Alive, they were thrown, both of them, into the fiery lake ‘of burning sulphur.’ (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
21 The rest were killed by the sword which came out of the mouth of him who rode upon the horse; and all the birds fed upon their flesh.
其他の者は皆、白馬に乗り給へるものの口より出づる剣にて殺され、諸の鳥飽くまで其肉を喰へり。
