Revelation 17
1 And there cam one of the seven angels which had the seven vialles and talked with me sayinge vnto me: come I will shewe the the iudgment of the grett whore that sytteth apon many waters
七つの鉢を持てる七人の御使の一人きたり、我に語りて言ふ『來れ、われ多くの水の上に坐する大淫婦の審判を汝に示さん。
2 with whome have commytted fornicacion the kynges of the erth so that the inhabiters of the erth are droken with the wyne of her fornicacion.
地の王たちは之と淫をおこなひ、地に住む者らは其の淫行の葡萄酒に醉ひたり』
3 And he caryed me a waye into the wildernes in the sprete. And I sawe a woman sytt apon a rose colored best full of names of blaphemie which had ten hornes.
かくてわれ御靈に感じ、御使に携へられて荒野にゆき、緋色の獸に乘れる女を見たり、この獸の體は神を涜す名にて覆はれ、また七つの頭と十の角とあり。
4 And the woman was arayed in purple and rose color and decked with golde precious stone and pearles and had a cup of golde in her honde full of a hominacions and fylthynes of her fornycacion.
女は紫色と緋とを著、金・寶石・眞珠にて身を飾り、手には憎むべきものと己が淫行の汚とにて滿ちたる金の酒杯を持ち、
5 And in her forhed was a name wrytten a mistery gret Babylon the mother of whordome and abominacions of the erth.
額には記されたる名あり。曰く『奧義 大なるバビロン、地の淫婦らと憎むべき者との母』
6 And I sawe the wyfe dronke with the bloud of saynctes and with the bloud of the witnesses of Iesu. And when I sawe her I wondred with grett mervayle.
我この女を見るに、聖徒の血とイエスの證人の血とに醉ひたり。我これを見て大に怪しみたれば、
7 And the angell sayde vnto me: wherfore mervayllyst thou? I wyll shewe the ye mistery of the woman and of the best that berith her which hath seven heddes and ten hornes.
御使われに言ふ『なにゆゑ怪しむか、我この女と之を乘せたる七つの頭、十の角ある獸との奧義を汝に告げん。
8 The best that thou seest was and is not and shall ascende out of the bottomlesse pytt and shall goo into perdicion and they that dwell on the erth shall wondre (whose names are not wrytten in the boke of lyfe from ye begynnynge of the worlde) when they beholde the best that was and ys nott. (Abyssos g12)
なんぢの見し獸は前に有りしも今あらず、後に底なき所より上りて滅亡に往かん、地に住む者にて世の創より其の名を生命の書に記されざる者は、獸の前にありて今あらず、後に來るを見て怪しまん。 (Abyssos g12)
9 And here ys a mynde that hath wisdome. The seven heddes are seven mountaynes on which the woman sytteth:
智慧の心は茲にあり。七つの頭は女の坐する七つの山なり、また七人の王なり。
10 they are also seven kynges. Fyve are fallen and on ys and onother is not yet come. Whe he cometh he muste contynew a space.
五 人は既に倒れて一人は今あり、他の一人は未だ來らず、來らば暫時のほど止るべきなり。
11 And the beste that was and ys not is even the ayght and ys one of the seven and shall goo into destruccion.
前にありて今あらぬ獸は第八なり、前の七人より出でたる者にして滅亡に往くなり。
12 And the ten hornes which thou seist are ten kynges which have receaved no kyngdome but shall receave power as kynges at one houre with the beest.
汝の見し十の角は十 人の王にして未だ國を受けざれども、一時のあひだ獸と共に王のごとき權威を受くべし。
13 These have one mynde and shall geve their power and strenghte vnto ye beste.
彼らは心を一つにして己が能力と權威とを獸にあたふ。
14 These shall fyght with the lambe and the lambe shall overcome them: For he is lorde of lordes and kynge of kynges: and they that are on hys syde are called and chosen and faythfull.
彼らは羔羊と戰はん。而して羔羊かれらに勝ち給ふべし、彼は主の主、王の王なればなり。これと偕なる召されたるもの、選ばれたるもの、忠實なる者も勝を得べし』
15 And he sayde vnto me: the waters which thou sawest where the whore syttith are people and folke and nacions and tonges.
御使また我に言ふ『なんぢの見し水、すなわち淫婦の坐する處は、もろもろの民・群衆・國・國語なり。
16 And the ten hornes which thou sawest apon the best are they that shall hate the whore and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eate their flesshe and burne her with fyre.
なんぢの見し十の角と獸とは、かの淫婦を憎み、之をして荒涼ばしめ、裸ならしめ、且その肉を喰ひ、火をもて之を燒き盡さん。
17 For God hathe put in their hertes to fulfyll hys wyll and to do with one consent for to geve hir kyngdom vnto the beast vntill the wordes of God be fulfylled.
神は彼らに御旨を行ふことと、心を一つにすることと、神の御言の成就するまで國を獸に與ふることとを思はしめ給ひたればなり。
18 And the woman which thou sawest ys that gret cyte which raigneth over the kynges of the erth.
なんぢの見し女は地の王たちを宰どる大なる都なり』
