ヨハネの黙示録 16
Japanese Living Bible
七人の天使による災害
16 また私は、神殿から大きな声が七人の天使に呼びかけるのを聞きました。「さあ、出かけて行って、神の怒りで満ちた七つの鉢を、地上にぶちまけなさい。」
2 そこで、第一の天使が神殿から出て行き、鉢を地上にぶちまけました。すると、獣の刻印をして、その像を拝む者全員に、恐ろしい悪性のはれものができました。
3 第二の天使が鉢を海にぶちまけると、海の水は死者の血のようになり、海の中のすべての生き物が死に絶えました。
4 第三の天使は、鉢を川と泉にぶちまけました。すると、水はたちまち血に変わりました。 5 私は、水を支配している天使のことばを聞きました。「今も昔も存在される聖なる方。あなたは正しい方です。 6 あなたのきよい民や預言者は殉教を遂げ、この地上に血を流しました。今度はあなたが、彼らを殺した者たちの血をしたたらせる番です。これは当然の報いなのです。」 7 また私は、祭壇の天使の声を聞きました。「全能の神、主よ。あなたのさばきは正しく、真実です。」
8 次に、第四の天使が鉢を太陽にぶちまけました。すると太陽は、すべての人を火で焼く力を得ました。 9 人々は、その激しい炎熱に焼かれながらも、なおその心や態度を改めて、神の栄光を恐れようとはせず、かえって、災害をも支配される神の御名をのろいました。
10 それから、第五の天使は、鉢を海から現れた獣の王座にぶちまけました。すると獣の国は暗闇でおおわれ、その民は苦しさのあまり、舌をかみ切って自殺をはかりました。 11 彼らは、苦痛とはれもののために天の神をのろいましたが、自分の悪い行いを悔い改めようとはしませんでした。
12 第六の天使は、鉢を大ユーフラテス川にぶちまけました。すると、川の水がすっかり干上がり、東方の王がいつでも軍隊を率いて西方に攻め入ることができる道ができました。 13 また私は、竜と獣と偽預言者の口から、かえるに似た三つの悪霊が飛び出すのを見ました。 14 奇跡を行う力を持ったこの悪霊たちは、全世界の支配者に相談をもちかけました。全能の神の恐ろしい審判の日に備えて、一丸となって主と戦おうとけしかけるためです。 15 「用心していなさい。わたしは盗人のように、思いがけない時に来ます。目を覚まして待っている人は幸いです。そのような人は、着物をきちんと着ているので、裸で外を歩くような恥はかきません。」 16 こうして彼らは、ヘブル語でハルマゲドンと呼ばれる場所の近くに、世界の全軍隊を結集させました。
17 次に、第七の天使が、鉢を空中にぶちまけました。すると、「すべてが終わった」という大きな声が、天の神殿の王座から響き渡りました。 18 雷鳴がとどろき、いなずまが走り、史上最大の大地震が発生しました。 19 大いなる都バビロンは三つに裂け、世界各地の都市もすべて破壊されて、瓦礫の山と化しました。神はバビロンの罪をすべてご存じであり、そのためにバビロンは、神の激しい怒りのぶどう酒であふれる杯を、最後の一滴まで飲み干す罰を受けたのです。 20 島々は消え去り、山々は平地に変わりました。 21 また、一つが三十五キロもの重さの雹が降り、多くの被害が出て、人々はこの恐ろしい雹のことで神をのろいました。
Revelation 16
King James Version
16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Revelation 16
English Standard Version
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling (A)the seven angels, “Go and (B)pour out on the earth (C)the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful (D)sores came upon the people who bore (E)the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and (F)it became like the blood of a corpse, and (G)every living thing died that was in the sea.
4 The third angel poured out his bowl into (H)the rivers and the springs of water, and (I)they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[a] say,
(J)“Just are you, (K)O Holy One, (L)who is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6 For (M)they have shed the blood of (N)saints and prophets,
and (O)you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard (P)the altar saying,
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
(Q)true and just are your judgments!”
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people (R)with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and (S)they cursed[b] the name of God who had power over these plagues. (T)They did not repent (U)and give him glory.
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on (V)the throne of the beast, and (W)its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed (X)the God of heaven for their pain and (Y)sores. (Z)They did not repent of their deeds.
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on (AA)the great river Euphrates, and (AB)its water was dried up, (AC)to prepare the way for the kings (AD)from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of (AE)the dragon and out of the mouth of (AF)the beast and out of the mouth of (AG)the false prophet, three (AH)unclean spirits like (AI)frogs. 14 For they are (AJ)demonic spirits, (AK)performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, (AL)to assemble them for battle on (AM)the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (AN)I am coming like a thief! (AO)Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, (AP)that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And (AQ)they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called (AR)Armageddon.
The Seventh Bowl
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into (AS)the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, (AT)“It is done!” 18 And there were (AU)flashes of lightning, rumblings,[c] peals of thunder, and (AV)a great earthquake (AW)such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 (AX)The great city (AY)was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God (AZ)remembered (BA)Babylon the great, (BB)to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And (BC)every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And (BD)great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[d] each, fell from heaven on people; and (BE)they cursed God for (BF)the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
