ヨハネの黙示録 4
1 この後われ見しに、視よ、天に開けたる門あり。初に我に語るを聞きしラッパのごとき聲いふ『ここに登れ、我この後おこるべき事を汝に示さん』
After this I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven! And the voice I had previously heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show yoʋ what must take place after this.”
2 直ちに、われ御靈に感ぜしが、視よ、天に御座 設けあり。
Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, there was a throne in heaven, with one sitting on the throne,
3 その御座に坐したまふ者あり、その坐し給ふものの状は碧玉・赤瑪瑙のごとく、かつ御座の周圍には緑玉のごとき虹ありき。
like jasper and carnelian in appearance. And around the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.
4 また御座のまはりに二十四の座位ありて、二十四人の長老、白き衣を纏ひ、首に金の冠冕を戴きて、その座位に坐せり。
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and sitting on the thrones were the twenty-four elders. They were clothed in white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.
5 御座より數多の電光と聲と雷霆と出づ。また御座の前に燃えたる七つの燈火あり、これ神の七つの靈なり。
From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, and there were seven flaming torches burning before the throne; these are the seven spirits of God.
6 御座のまへに水晶に似たる玻璃の海あり。御座の中央と御座の周圍とに四つの活物ありて、前も後も數々の目にて滿ちたり。
Also before the throne was something like a sea of glass that looked like crystal. Around the throne on each side were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.
7 第一の活物は獅子のごとく、第二の活物は牛のごとく、第三の活物は面のかたち人のごとく、第四の活物は飛ぶ鷲のごとし。
The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature was like an eagle in flight.
8 この四つの活物おのおの六つの翼あり、翼の内も外も數々の目にて滿ちたり、日も夜も絶間なく言ふ、『聖なるかな、聖なるかな、聖なるかな、昔いまし、今いまし、のち來りたまふ主たる全能の神』
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.”
And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne and say, (aiōn g165)
11 『我らの主なる神よ、榮光と尊崇と能力とを受け給ふは宜なり。汝は萬物を造りたまひ、萬物は御意によりて存し、かつ造られたり』
“Yoʋ are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive glory, honor, and power; for yoʋ created all things, and by yoʋr will they came into existence and were created.”
