< Revelation 4 >
1 After this I loked and beholde a dore was open in heven and the fyrste voyce which I harde was as it were of a trompet talkinge with me which said: come vp hydder and I will shewe the thynges which must be fulfyllyd hereafter
この後われ見しに、視よ、天に開けたる門あり。初に我に語るを聞きしラッパのごとき聲いふ『ここに登れ、我この後おこるべき事を汝に示さん』
2 And immediatly I was in the sprete: and beholde a seate was put in heven and one sate on the seate.
直ちに、われ御靈に感ぜしが、視よ、天に御座 設けあり。
3 And he that sat was to loke apo like vnto a iaspar stone and a sardyne stone: And there was a rayne bowe aboute the seate in syght lyke to an Emeralde.
その御座に坐したまふ者あり、その坐し給ふものの状は碧玉・赤瑪瑙のごとく、かつ御座の周圍には緑玉のごとき虹ありき。
4 And aboute the seate were. xxiiii. seates. And upon the seates. xxiiii. elders syttinge clothed in whyte rayment and had on their heddes crounes of gold.
また御座のまはりに二十四の座位ありて、二十四人の長老、白き衣を纏ひ、首に金の冠冕を戴きて、その座位に坐せり。
5 And out of the seate proceded lightnynges and thundrynges and voyces and there wer vii. lampes of fyre burninge before ye seate which are the vii. sprettes of God.
御座より數多の電光と聲と雷霆と出づ。また御座の前に燃えたる七つの燈火あり、これ神の七つの靈なり。
6 And before the seate there was a see of glasse lyke vnto cristall and in the myddes of the seate and rounde aboute the seate were iiii. bestes full of eyes before and behynde.
御座のまへに水晶に似たる玻璃の海あり。御座の中央と御座の周圍とに四つの活物ありて、前も後も數々の目にて滿ちたり。
7 And the fyrste best was lyke a lion the seconde best lyke a calfe and ye thyrde beste had a face as a man and the fourthe beste was like a flyinge egle.
第一の活物は獅子のごとく、第二の活物は牛のごとく、第三の活物は面のかたち人のごとく、第四の活物は飛ぶ鷲のごとし。
8 And the iiii. bestes had eche one of them vi. wynges aboute him and they were full of eyes with in. And they had noo reste daye nether nyght sayinge: holy holy holy lorde god almyghty which was and is and is to come.
この四つの活物おのおの六つの翼あり、翼の内も外も數々の目にて滿ちたり、日も夜も絶間なく言ふ、『聖なるかな、聖なるかな、聖なるかな、昔いまし、今いまし、のち來りたまふ主たる全能の神』
9 And when those beestes gave glory and honour and thankes to him that sat on the seate which lyveth for ever and ever: (aiōn )
この活物ら御座に坐し、世々 限りなく活きたまふ者に榮光と尊崇とを歸し、感謝する時、 (aiōn )
10 the xxiiii. elders fell doune before him that sat on the trone and worshipped him that lyveth for ever and caste their crounes before the trone sayinge: (aiōn )
二十四人の長老、御座に坐したまふ者のまへに伏し、世々 限りなく活きたまふ者を拜し、おのれの冠冕を御座のまへに投げ出して言ふ、 (aiōn )
11 thou arte worthy lorde to receave glory and honoure and power for thou haste created all thinges and for thy wylles sake they are and were created.
『我らの主なる神よ、榮光と尊崇と能力とを受け給ふは宜なり。汝は萬物を造りたまひ、萬物は御意によりて存し、かつ造られたり』
