ヨハネの黙示録 7
1 第四款 中間の二の出現 其後我、四の天使地の四隅に立てるを見しが、彼等は地の四方の風を引止め、地上にも海上にも如何なる樹の上にも吹かざらしめんとせり。
And after this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind should blow upon the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 此外に又一の天使、活き給へる神の印を持ちて東より上るを見たり。此天使、海陸を害する事を許されたる四の天使に聲高く呼はりて、
And I saw another angel ascending from the sun's rising, having the seal of the Living God. And he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it had been granted to harm the earth and the sea,
3 言ひけるは、我等我神の僕等の額に印するまで、海にも陸にも樹木にも触るること勿れ、と。
saying: “Do not harm the earth, nor the sea nor the trees, until we have sealed the slaves of our God on their foreheads.”
4 斯て我、イスラエルの子等の諸族中印せられたる者の數を聞きしに、印せられたる者十四萬四千人、
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 即ちユダ族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、ルベン族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、ガド族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、
From the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 アゼル族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、ネフタリ族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、マナッセ族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、
from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 シメオン族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、レヴィ族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、イッサカアル族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、
from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 ザブロン族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、ヨゼフ族の中にて一萬二千人印せられ、ベンヤミン族の中にて一萬二千人印せられたるなり。
from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 其後我、誰も數ふる事能はざる大群衆を見しが、諸國、諸族、諸民、諸語の中よりして、白き衣を着し、手に棕櫚の葉を持ちて、玉座の前、羔の目前に立ち、
After these things I looked, and wow, a great multitude that no one could number, from all ethnic nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the Throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes and having palm branches in their hands.
10 聲高く呼はりて言ひけるは、救霊は玉座に坐し給ふ我神及び羔に歸す、と。
And they shouted with a loud voice saying, “Saved by our God who sits on the throne, and by the Lamb!”
11 玉座と翁等と四の動物との周圍に立ち居たりし天使一同、玉座の前に平伏し、神を禮拝し奉りて、
And all the angels stood around the Throne, and the elders and the four living beings, and they fell down before the Throne, on their faces, and worshiped God,
saying: “Amen! The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength to our God for ever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn g165)
13 時に翁の一人答へて我に謂ひけるは、白き衣を着せる此人々は誰なるぞ、何處より來れるぞ、と。
And one of the elders reacted, saying to me, “Who are these that are clothed in the white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 我、我君よ、汝こそ知れるなれ、と言ひしに翁我に謂ひけるは、此人々は大いなる患難より來り、羔の血に己が衣を洗ひて白く為したる者なり。
So I said to him, “My lord, you know.” So he said to me: “These are those who come out of the Great Tribulation—they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 故に神の玉座の前に在りて、其[聖]殿に於て日夜之に事へ奉り、又玉座に坐し給ふものは、彼等の上に幕屋を張り給ふべし。
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His sanctuary. And He who sits on the throne will shelter them.
16 彼等最早飢渇く事なかるべく、日光も熱氣も彼等に中るべからず、
They shall not hunger anymore, nor thirst anymore; the sun will absolutely not strike them, nor any heat;
17 其は玉座の正面に在せる羔彼等を牧して、之を生命の水の源に導き給ひ、神は彼等の目より凡ての涙を拭ひ給ふべければなり、と。
because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
