ヨハネの黙示録 20

1 又見たるに、一の天使底なき淵の鍵と大いなる鎖とを手に持ちて天より降り、 (Abyssos g12)

Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)

2 彼龍、即ち惡魔サタンなる古き蛇を捕へ、一千年を期して之を繋ぎ、

He seized the Dragon, the primeval Serpent (who is the ‘Devil’ or ‘Satan’), and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

3 底なき淵に投入れて之を閉籠め、封印を其上に為せり。是一千年の終るまで諸民を惑はさざらしめん為にして、其後は暫し解放たるべし、 (Abyssos g12)

He flung him into the bottomless pit and locked it, and set his seal upon it; that he should not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let loose for a while. (Abyssos g12)

4 我又列座を見たるに、之に就くものありて裁判権を賜はり、又イエズスの證明の為神の御言の為に馘られし人々の魂と、彼獣をも其像をも拝まず、其印章を己が額又は手に受けざりし人々と、皆生回りて、一千年の間キリストと共に王と成れるを見たり。

Then I saw thrones, and to those who took their seats upon them authority was given to act as judges. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony to Jesus and because of the Message of God, for they had refused to worship the Beast or its image, and had not received the brand on their foreheads and on their hands. They were restored to life, and they reigned with the Christ for a thousand years.

5 其他の死人は総て一千年の終るまで生回らず、是即ち第一の復活なり。

(The rest of the dead were not restored to life till the thousand years were ended.) This is the First Resurrection.

6 福なる哉、聖なる哉、此第一の復活に與る人。斯る輩に於ては第二の死は権力を有せず、却て彼等は神及びキリストの司祭として、一千年の間之と與に王たるべし。

Blessed and holy will he be who shares in that First Resurrection. The second Death has no power over them; but they will be priests of God, and the Christ, and they will reign with him for the thousand years.

7 一千年終りて後、サタン其獄舎より放たれ、

When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose from his prison,

8 出でて地の四方の人民、ゴグ及びマゴグを惑はし、戰の為に之を集めん、其數は海の眞砂の如し。

and he will come out to deceive the nations that live in ‘the four corners of the earth — Gog and Magog.’ He will come to gather them together for battle; and their number will be as great as the sand on the sea-shore.

9 而して彼等地の全面に上り、聖徒等の陣営と最愛の市街とを圍みしが、火天より降りて彼等を焼盡し、 (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

They went up over the breadth of the whole earth, and surrounded the camp of Christ’s People and the beloved city. Then fire fell from the heavens and consumed them;

10 彼等を惑はしたる惡魔は火と硫黄との池に投入れられたり。是に於て彼獣と、僞預言者と、世々に限なく晝夜苦しめらるべし。 (aiōn g165)

and the Devil, their deceiver, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the Beast and the false Prophet already were, and they will be tortured day and night for ever and ever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

11 又見たるに、大いなる白き玉座ありて、之に坐し給ふものあり、地と天とは其前を逃去りて、其場所すら見出されざりき。

Then I saw a great white throne, and him who was seated on it. ‘The earth and the heavens fled from his presence; no place was left for them.’

12 又見たるに、死せし人々、大小共に玉座の前に立ちて、數多の書籍開かれ、又別に一の書籍開かれしが、是生命の名簿にして、死者は皆書籍に記されたる事柄により、面々の業に從ひて審判せられたり。

And I saw the dead, high and low, standing before the throne; and books were opened. Then another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged, according to their actions, by what was written in the books.

13 斯て海は其中に在りし死者を出し、死も冥府も亦其中に在りし死者を出し、各其業に從ひて審判せられ、 (Hadēs g86)

The sea gave up its dead, and Death and the Lord of the Place of Death gave up their dead; and they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. (Hadēs g86)

14 死も冥府も火の池に投入れられしが、是第二の死にして、 (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

Then Death and the Lord of the Place of Death were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the Second Death — the lake of fire; (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

15 生命の名簿に記されざりし人々も亦火の池に投入れられたり。 (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

and all whose names ‘were not found written in the Book of Life’ were hurled into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

The Last Judgment
