ヨハネの黙示録 14
1 第四款 羔及び童貞者 我又見たるに、折しも羔シオン山に立ち給ひ、其御名及び父の御名を額に印されたる十四萬四千人之と共に在り。
Then I looked and behold a Lamb standing on mount Sion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written on their foreheads.
2 我又天よりの聲を聞きしが、大水の聲の如く、又大いなる雷の聲の如くにして、又此我が聞きし聲は弾琴者の其琴を弾ずるが如し。
And I heard a voice from heaven, like the noise of many waters, and as the sound of great thunder; and I heard the sound of harpers playing on their harps:
3 斯て彼等、玉座の前、四の動物と翁等との前に於て、新しき賛美歌の如きものを謳ひ居りしが、地上より贖はれたる彼十四萬四千人の外、誰も此賛美歌を唱うる事能はざりき。
and they sung as it were a new song before the throne; and before the four living ones, and the elders: and none could learn the song, but the hundred and forty four thousand, who are redeemed from the earth.
4 彼等は女に触れず汚されざるもの、蓋童貞者たるなり。彼等は何處にもあれ羔の往き給ふ處に從ひ、人間の中より、初穂として、神と羔との為に贖はれたる者にして、
These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth: these were redeemed from among men, as the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb.
5 其口に僞ありし事なく、神の玉座の御前に汚なき者なり。
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are blameless before the throne of God.
And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel, to preach to those that dwell upon the earth, to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, (aiōnios g166)
7 聲高く言ひけるは、汝等主を畏れて之に尊榮を歸し奉れ、蓋其審判の時は至れり、天地と海と水の源とを造り給へるものを禮拝し奉れ、と。
and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the time of his judgement is come: and worship Him that made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 又別に一の天使、其後に從ひて言ひけるは、倒れたり倒れたり、私通の為に起せる怒の酒を萬民に飲ませし彼大いなるバビロネは、と。
And another angel followed, saying, Babylon the great city is fallen, is fallen; because she made all nations drink of the wine of her furious fornication.
9 又第三の天使、彼等の後に從ひて聲高く言ひけるは、若獣と其像とを拝し、己が額若くは右の手に其印章を受けたる人あらば、
And a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any one worship the beast and his image, and receive the mark on his forehead,
10 彼も亦神の御怒の酒、即ち御怒の杯に物を雑へずして盛りたる酒を飲むべく、又聖なる天使等の前及び羔の御前に、火と硫黄とを以て苦しめらるべし、
or on his hand, he also shall drink of the wine of God's indignation poured forth without mixture, in the cup of his wrath; and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever: and they have no rest, day and night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (aiōn g165)
12 神の掟とイエズスに於る信仰とを保てる聖人等の忍耐は茲に在り、と。
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 斯て天より聲ありて我に斯く言へるを聞けり、書記せ、福なる哉今より主に於て死する死人、[聖]霊曰はく、然り、彼等が其働を息まん為なり、其は其業之に從へばなり、と。
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead, that die in the Lord, from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them.
14 第六款 人の子及び刈取 又見たるに、折しも白き雲ありて、其雲の上には人の子の如きもの、頭に金の冠を戴き、手に利き鎌を持ちて坐し居れり。
And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and one sitting on the cloud like the Son of man; having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 又別に一の天使、[聖]殿より出でて、雲の上に坐せるものに向ひ、聲高く呼はりけるは、地上の穀物は熟したるが故に、刈取るべき時は來れり、汝其鎌を入れて刈取れ、と。
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him that sat upon the cloud, Put in thy sickle and reap; for the time to reap is come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 斯て雲の上に坐せるもの、其鎌を地に入れしかば、地の面は刈取られたり。
And He that sat upon the cloud put forth his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
17 又別に一の天使、天に在る[聖]殿より出でしが、彼も亦利き釜を持てり。
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.
18 又別に火を司る権威を有せる一の天使、香台より出でて、利き鎌を持てるものに對ひ、聲高く呼はりて言ひけるは、地上の葡萄は熟したるが故に、汝利き鎌を入れて葡萄の房を刈取れ、と。
And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over the fire; and he called out with a loud cry to Him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Put in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.
19 斯て天使其利き鎌を地に入れて地上の葡萄を刈取り、神の御怒の大いなる搾槽に入れ、
And the angel put forth his sickle to the earth, and stript the vine of the earth, and cast the grapes into the great wine-press of God's wrath.
20 其搾槽は市外に於て踏籍けられしが、血搾槽より出でて、馬の轡に達くほど、七十五里の間に弘がれり。
And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the wine-press, even to the horses bridles, a thousand six hundred furlongs off.
