第19章

1. GOD called up Erastes, prince of messengers, and he said unto him: Thou hast heard the words of thy God and of Taenas. Take therefore thirty thousand and four hundred messengers, that is, one for each and all of my remaining kingdoms, and go and proclaim the same unto them, that they, having due notice, may manage their affairs with wisdom and foresight. Erastes said: Jehovih's will and thine be done! And he saluted and withdrew, going to the palace of the messengers, and choosing his hosts, whom he instructed in regard to the message. And he gave to each of them power to choose their own officers, and to provide their own vessels of travel. And in not many days thereafter, they all departed.

1. 神は使者の君エラステスを呼んで彼に言った。あなたはあなたの神とタエナスの言葉を聞いた。それゆえ三万四百人の使者、すなわち私の残っているすべての王国に一人ずつを連れて行き、同じことを彼らに告げ知らせよ。彼らがしかるべき知らせを受けて、知恵と先見をもって自分たちの事柄を処理できるように。エラステスは言った。ジェホヴィの御心とあなたの意志が行われますように！　そして彼は敬礼して退き、使者の宮殿へ行き、自分の群れを選び、その言伝について彼らに指示した。そして彼は彼らそれぞれに自分の役人を選び、自分の旅の船を備える力を与えた。そしてその後幾日もたたないうちに、彼らはみな出発した。

2. Now it came to pass, that the following kingdoms soon fell to pieces, and drifted into the Triune Confederacy, p. 680 namely: Sho'e'gan, and her twenty-eight sub-kingdoms, all in the hadan regions; Ghi'e'wan, and her forty-four heavenly hadan kingdoms; Haotus, with seven heavenly hadan kingdoms, and five sub-kingdoms; Tuwahtal, and thirty kingdoms in the first resurrection in the plateau Theovrahkistan; Livragga, and seventy-one heavenly sub-kingdoms, of which thirty-eight were ready to enter the second resurrection; Jahkin and Mouru, with ninety-seven heavenly hadan kingdoms, of which eighty-seven were promoted to the second resurrection; Ganzoe, with four hundred hadan kingdoms, of which many were below the first resurrection; Hapsu, with four heavenly kingdoms of seventy million angels in the second resurrection; Iturba, with twelve heavenly kingdoms of one hundred and four million angels in the second resurrection, half of whom were as high as fifty in the grades; Wantawacha, with thirty heavenly kingdoms, with three hundred million angels in the second resurrection, three-fourths of whom were upward of grade fifty.

2. さて、次の王国がまもなくばらばらに崩れ、三位一体の同盟へと流れて行くことになった。（680頁）すなわち、ショエガンとその二十八の下位の王国で、みなハダの領域にあるもの。ギエワンとその四十四の天のハダの王国。七つの天のハダの王国と五つの下位の王国を持つハオトゥス。トゥワータルと、テオヴラーキスタンの台地の第一の復活にある三十の王国。リヴラッガと七十一の天の下位の王国で、そのうち三十八は第二の復活に入る用意ができていた。ヤーキンとモウルと九十七の天のハダの王国で、そのうち八十七は第二の復活へ昇進していた。四百のハダの王国を持つガンゾエで、そのうち多くは第一の復活より下にあった。第二の復活にある七千万の天使の四つの天の王国を持つハプス。第二の復活にある一億四百万の天使の十二の天の王国を持つイトゥルバで、その半分は段階五十にまで達していた。第二の復活にある三億の天使を持つ三十の天の王国を持つワンタワチャで、その四分の三は段階五十を超えていた。

3. Of the seven lower kingdoms of the second sphere, there were eight hundred million angels of the first resurrection, who migrated from their provinces to the Triune regions, Amesha; and they destroyed the road behind them.

3. 第二の球の七つの低い王国からは、第一の復活にある八億の天使が、その州から三位一体の領域アメシャへ移住した。そして彼らは背後の道を壊した。

4. Now, when God saw the great secession of his heavenly kingdoms, and their allegiance to the Triunes, his soul was filled with sorrow. And the Voice of Jehovih came to him, saying: Why takest thou sorrow to thy soul for these things? Shall a God grieve, because his burden is made lighter? Behold, in this day and hour the Gods and Lords of the Triune are rejoicing with great joy, because of these accessions. Yea, they perceive not, what a load they are taking on their own shoulders.

4. さて神は、自分の天の王国の大きな分離と、三位一体の者たちへの彼らの忠誠を見たとき、その魂は悲しみに満ちた。するとジェホヴィの声が彼に来て言った。なぜあなたはこれらのことで魂に悲しみを抱くのか。神は自分の重荷が軽くされたからといって嘆くべきであろうか。見よ、この日この時、三位一体の神々と主たちは、これらの加入のゆえに大きな喜びで喜んでいる。まことに、彼らは自分の肩にどれほどの荷を負っているかを悟っていない。

5. But thou shalt send agents amongst the Triunes, especially into their capitals and their chief kingdoms.

5. しかしあなたは三位一体の者たちのあいだへ、とりわけ彼らの首都と首位の王国へ、密偵を送れ。

6. So, God appointed many agents, different from messengers, for they were to be under the command of none but God. God said unto them: Ye shall go to the places I appoint unto each one of you, as travelers and sojourners in your own way, and observe the doings of the Triunes, especially the chiefs and leaders, Lords and Gods, and their teaching and government, and in your own good time depart out of the place and return hither and inform my Holy Council and my Holy Eleven.

6. そこで神は多くの密偵を任じた。使者とは異なり、彼らは神のほかの誰の命令の下にもないことになっていた。神は彼らに言った。私があなたたち一人一人に指定する場所へ、自分自身の仕方で旅人や寄留者として行き、三位一体の者たち、とりわけ首長と指導者、主たちと神々の行いと、彼らの教えと統治を観察せよ。そしてあなたたち自身のよい時に、その場所から去ってここへ戻り、私の聖なる評議会と私の聖なる十一人に知らせよ。

7. And the agents went forth as commanded.

7. そして密偵たちは命じられたとおりに出て行った。
