ヨハネの黙示録 5
1 第二款 羔及び七封印の巻物 我又玉座の上に坐し給ふものの右の御手の上に、内外に文字ありて七の印を以て封ぜられたる巻物を見、
And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
2 又一の強き天使の聲高く、巻物を開きて其封印を解くに堪ふる者は誰ぞ、と布告するを見たり。
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who [is] worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?
3 而も天にも地上にも地下にも、巻物を開きて之を眺むる事だに能くする者なかりき。
And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it.
4 斯て誰も巻物を開きて見るにすら堪へたりと認めらるる者なきにより、我大いに泣き居たりしかば、
And I wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it.
5 翁の一人我に謂ひけるは、泣く勿れ、看よやユダ族の獅子ダヴィドの萌蘗、勝利を得て巻物を開き、其七封印を解くを得給ふと。
And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which [is] of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome [so as] to open the book, and its seven seals.
6 我見たるに、折しも玉座と四の動物との中央、翁等の中央に屠られたるが如き羔立ちて、是に七の角あり、又全世界に遣られし神の七霊なる七の眼あり。
And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [which are] sent into all the earth:
7 羔來りて玉座に坐し給ふものの右の御手より巻物を受けしが、
and it came and took [it] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 其巻物を受くるや、四の動物と廿四人の翁とは羔の前に平伏し、各琴[の如きもの]又聖人等の祈なる香の充ちたる金の香炉を持ちて、
And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 新しき賛美歌を謳ひ、主よ汝は巻物を受けて其封印を解くに堪へ給へり、其は屠られ給ひて、御血を以て、神の為に諸族、諸語、諸民、諸國の中より人々を贖ひ、
And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10 之を我等の神の為に王たらしめ司祭たらしめ給ひたればなり、彼等は地上を統治すべし、と言ひ居れり。
and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth.
11 我尚見たるに、玉座と動物と翁等との周圍に在る、多くの天使の聲を聞けり、其數萬々億々にして、
And I saw, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands;
12 聲高く言ひけるは、屠られ給ひし羔は、権威と富有と、叡智と能力と、尊貴と光榮と祝福とを受くるに堪へ給ふものなり、と。
saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. (aiōn g165)
14 而して四の動物はアメンと言ひ、廿四人の翁は平伏して、世々に限なく活き給ふものを禮拝し奉れり。
And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.
