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 aloud voice, out of the sanctuary, saying unto the seven messengers—Go, and be pouring out the seven bowls of the wrath of God unto 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 departed, and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came to be a baneful and painful ulcer, upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and them who were doing homage unto 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, poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man, and, every living soul, died—as regardeth the things 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, poured out his bowl into the rivers, and the 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 messenger of the waters, saying—Righteous, art thou Who art, and Who wast, Who art full of lovingkindness, —in that, these things, thou hast adjudged;

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。

Because, blood of saints and prophets, poured they out, and, blood, unto them, hast thou given to drink: Worthy, they are!

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 the altar, saying—Yea! Lord, God, the 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, poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it, to scorch mankind 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 mankind were scorched with a great scorching heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who had authority over these plagues, and 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, poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and they began to gnaw their tongues by reason of the 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 they blasphemed the God of heaven, by reason of their pain, and by reason of their ulcers, and repented not of their works.

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, poured out his bowl upon the great river: [the] Euphrates; and the water thereof, was dried up, that the way might be prepared, of the kings who were from the rising of the sun.

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, out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false-prophet, three impure spirits, as frogs;

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 spirits of demons, doing signs, which are to go forth unto the kings of the whole habitable earth, to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God the 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。

Lo! I come as a thief! Happy, he that is watching, and keeping his garments, lest, naked, he be walking, 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 unto the place that is called, in Hebrew, Har Magedon.

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, poured out his bowl upon the air.—And there came forth a loud voice out of the sanctuary, from the throne, saying—Accomplished!

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 came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and, a great earthquake, took place, —such as had never taken place since men came to be on the earth, —such a mighty earthquake, 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 became [divided] into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and, Babylon the Great, was brought into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger;

20 島悉く去りて山も見えず成り、

and, every island, fled, and, 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, great hail, as talents, cometh down out of heaven upon mankind; and men blasphemed God, by reason of the plague of hail, —because the plague thereof was, exceeding great.
