ヨハネの黙示録 8

1 第一款 豫備の出現 [羔]第七の封印を解き給ひしかば、天上静まりかへる事半時間。

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

2 我又見たるに、七の天使神の御前に立ちて七の喇叭を授けられ、

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

3 別に又一の天使、金の香炉を持來りて香台の上に立ち、多くの香を授けられしが、是諸聖人の祈に加へて、神の玉座の前なる金の香台の上に献げん為なり。

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4 斯て香の烟は、諸聖人の祈と共に天使の手より神の御前に立昇りしが、

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5 天使香炉を取り、之に香台の火を盛りて地に投げしかば、雷と聲と電光と大地震と起り、

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 又七の喇叭を持てる七の天使、喇叭を吹かん身構を為せり。

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 第二款 初の六の喇叭 斯て第一の天使喇叭を吹きしに、血の雑りたる雹と火と起りて地に降らされ、地の三分の一燃上り、樹木の三分の一燃上り、緑草悉く焼盡されたり。

The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8 第二の天使喇叭を吹きしに、火の燃ゆる大いなる山の如きもの海に投げられ、海の三分の一血に變じて、

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

9 海の中に活ける被造物の三分の一死し、船の三分の一も亡びたり。

And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

10 第三の天使喇叭を吹きしに、松明の如くに燃ゆる大いなる星天より落ちて、河の三分の一と水の源との上に落ちたり。

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11 此星は名を苦艾と云ひ、水の三分の一は苦艾の如くに成りて、水の苦く成りしが為に多くの人死せり。

And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 第四の天使喇叭を吹きしに、日の三分の一と月の三分の一と打たれしかば、其三分の一は暗み、晝も三分の一は光らず、夜も亦同じ。

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

13 我尚見たるに、天の中央を飛べる一の鷲聲高く、禍なる哉、禍なる哉、禍なる哉、地上に住める人々、尚喇叭を吹かんとする三の天使の聲によりて、と言へるを聞けり。

And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the citizens of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
