ヨハネの黙示録 16

1 我又大いなる聲の[聖]殿より出でて、七の天使に斯く言へるを聞けり、汝等往きて神の御怒の七の器[の物]を地上に注げ、と。

And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

2 斯て第一の天使、往きて其器[の物]を地上に注ぎしかば、獣の印章を有せる人々、及び其像を拝したる人々の身に、惡性の甚しき腫物生じたり。

And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

3 第二の天使其器[の物]を海上に注ぎしかば、死人の血の如くに成りて、海に在る活物悉く死せり。

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

4 第三の天使其器[の物]を川及び水の源に注ぎしかば、變じて血と成れり。

And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

5 斯て我水を司る天使の斯く言へるを聞けり、現に在し、又曾て在しし主よ、汝は正義にて在す、斯の如く審判し給へるものよ、汝は聖にて在す、

And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

6 蓋人々は汝の諸聖人、諸預言者の血を注ぎたれば、汝彼等に血を與へて飲ましめ給へり、彼等は之に値する者なればなり、と。

For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

7 又別の天使の祭壇より斯く言へるを聞けり、然り、全能の神にて在す主よ、眞實にして正義なる哉汝の審判、と。

And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

8 第四の天使其器[の物]を太陽に注ぎしかば、激しき暑を以て人々を焼き悩ます事を許され、

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

9 人々激しき暑の為に焼かれて、斯る禍の上に権力を有し給へる神の御名を罵り、且改心せずして、光榮を神に歸し奉らざりき。

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

10 第五の天使其器[の物]を彼獣の座の上に注ぎしかば、獣の國暗黒と成りて、人々苦の餘りに己が舌を噛み、

And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

11 其苦と禍との為に天の神を罵り、己が業より改心せざりき。

And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

12 第六の天使其器[の物]をユウフラテの大河の上に注ぎしかば、其水を涸らして、東方の諸國王の為に道を備へたり。

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

13 又見たるに、龍の口と獣の口と僞預言者の口とより、蛙の如き三の穢らはしき霊出でたり。

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 是徴を為せる惡魔の霊にして、全世界の國王の許に至り、全能の神の大いなる日の戰の為に彼等を集めんとす。

For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 看よ、我は盗人の如くにして來る、警戒して、裸に歩まず、恥を見られざらん為に、己が衣を保てる人は福なり。

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16 彼霊ヘブレヲ語にてアルマゲドンと云へる處に諸國王を集むべし。

And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

17 第七の天使其器[の物]を空中に注ぎしかば、大いなる聲[聖]殿より而も玉座より出でて言ひけるは、事既に成れり、と。

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 斯て電光と聲と雷と大地震と起りしが、此地震は人の地上に在りし以來曾て有らざりし程に大いなりき。

And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 然て大都會三に裂かれ、異邦人の諸都會倒れて、大いなるバビロネは神の御前に憶出でられ、激しき御怒の酒を盛りたる杯を飲ましめられんとし、

And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 島悉く去りて山も見えず成り、

And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 タレント程の大さなる雹天より人に降懸りしかば、人々雹の禍の為に神を罵れり、是其禍甚だしく大いなればなり。

And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
