Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions came into his head on his bed: then he put the dream in writing.
バビロンの王ベルシヤザルの元年にダニエルその牀にありて夢を見 腦中に異象を得たりしが即ちその夢を記してその事の大意を述ぶ
2 I had a vision by night, and saw the four winds of heaven violently moving the great sea.
ダニエル述て曰く我夜の異象の中に見てありしに四方の天風大海にむかひて烈しく吹きたり
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
四箇の大なる獣海より上りきたれりその形はおのおの異なり
4 The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings; while I was watching its wings were pulled off, and it was lifted up from the earth and placed on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
第一のは獅子の如くにして鷲の翼ありけるが我見てをりしに是はその翼を抜とられまた地より起され人のごとく足にて立せられ且人の心を賜はれり
5 And I saw another beast, like a bear, and it was lifted up on one side, and three side-bones were in its mouth, between its teeth: and they said to it, Up! take much flesh.
第二の獣は熊のごとくなりき是はその體の一方を擧げその口の歯の間に三の脇骨を啣へ居けるが之にむかひて言る者あり曰く起あがりて許多の肉を食へと
6 After this I saw another beast, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings like those of a bird; and the beast had four heads, and the power of a ruler was given to it.
その後に我見しに豹のごとき獣いでたりしがその背には鳥の翼四ありこの獣はまた四の頭ありて統轄權をたまはれり
7 After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.
我夜の異象の中に見しにその後第四の獣いでたりしが是は畏しく猛く大に強くして大なる鐵の歯あり食ひかつ咬碎きてその殘餘をば足にて踏つけたり是はその前に出たる諸の獣とは異なりてまた十の角ありき
8 I was watching the horns with care, and I saw another coming up among them, a little one, before which three of the first horns were pulled up by the roots: and there were eyes like a man's eyes in this horn, and a mouth saying great things.
我その角を考へ觀つつありけるにその中にまた一箇の小き角出きたりしがこの小き角のために先の角三箇その根より抜おちたりこの小き角には人の目のごとき目ありまた大なる事を言ふ口あり
9 I went on looking till the seats of kings were placed, and one like a very old man took his seat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool; his seat was flames of fire and its wheels burning fire.
我觀つつありしに遂に寳座を置列ぶるありて日の老たる者座を占めたりしがその衣は雪のごとくに白くその髮毛は漂潔めたる羊の毛のごとし又その寳座は火の熖にしてその車輪は燃る火なり
10 A stream of fire was flowing and coming out from before him: a thousand thousands were his servants, and ten thousand times ten thousand were in their places before him: the judge was seated and the books were open.
而して彼の前より一道の火の流わきいづ彼に仕ふる者は千々彼の前に侍る者は萬々審判すなはち始りて書を開けり
11 Then I saw — because of the voice of the great words which the horn said — I saw till the beast was put to death, and its body was given to destruction, and the beast was given to the burning of fire.
その角の大なる事を言ふ聲によりて我觀つつありけるが我が見る間にその獣は終に殺され體を壞はれて燃る火に投いれられたり
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their authority was taken away: but they let them go on living for a measure of time.
またその餘の獣はその權威を奪はれたりしがその生命は時と期の至るまで延されたり
13 I saw in visions of the night, and there was coming with the clouds of heaven one like a man, and he came to the one who was very old, and they took him near before him.
我また夜の異象の中に觀てありけるに人の子のごとき者雲に乗て來り日の老たる者の許に到りたればすなはちその前に導きけるに
14 And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.
之に權と榮と國とを賜ひて諸民諸族諸音をしてこれに事へしむその權は永遠の權にして移りさらず又その國は亡ぶることなし
15 As for me, Daniel, my spirit was pained because of this, and the visions of my head were troubling me.
是において我ダニエルその體の内の魂を憂へしめわが腦中の異象のために思ひなやみたれば
16 I came near to one of those who were waiting there, questioning him about what all this was. And he said to me that he would make clear to me the sense of these things.
すなはち其處にたてる者の一箇に就てこの一切の事の眞意を問けるに其者われにこの事の解明を告しらせて云く
17 These great beasts are four kings who will be cut off from the earth.
この四の大なる獣は地に興らんとする四人の王なり
18 But the saints of the Most High will take the kingdom, and it will be theirs for ever, even for ever and ever.
然ど終には至高者の聖徒國を受け長久にその國を保ちて世々限りなからんと
19 Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;
是において我またその第四の獣の眞意を知んと欲せり此獣は他の獣と異なりて至畏ろしくその歯は鐵その爪は銅にして食ひかつ咬碎きてその殘餘を足にて踏つけたり
20 And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns.
此獣の頭には十の角ありしが其他にまた一の角いできたりしかば之がために三の角抜おちたり此角には目ありまた大なる事を言ふ口ありてその状はその同類よりも強く見えたり我またこの事を知んと欲せり
21 And I saw how that horn made war on the saints and overcame them,
我觀つつありけるに此角聖徒と戰ひてこれに勝たりしが
22 Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.
終に日の老たる者來りて至高者の聖徒のために公義をおこなへり而してその時いたりて聖徒國を獲たり
23 This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.
彼かく言り第四の獣は地上の第四の國なり是は一切の國と異なり全世界を并呑しこれを踏つけかつ打破らん
24 And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will come to power; and after them another will come up: he will be different from the first ones and will put down three kings.
その十の角はこの國に興らんところの十人の王なり之が後にまた一人興るべし是は先の者と異なり且その王三人を倒すべし
25 And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.
かれ至高者に敵して言を出しかつ至高者の聖徒を惱まさん彼また時と法とを變んことを望まん聖徒は一時と二時と半時を經るまで彼の手に付されてあらん
26 But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it.
斯て後審判はじまり彼はその權を奪はれて終極まで滅び亡ん
27 And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.
而して國と權と天下の國々の勢力とはみな至高者の聖徒たる民に歸せん至高者の國は永遠の國なり諸國の者みな彼に事へかつ順はんと
28 Here is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, I was greatly troubled by my thoughts, and the colour went from my face: but I kept the thing in my heart.
その事此にて終れり我ダニエルこれを思ひまはして大に憂へ顔色も變りぬ我この事を心に蔵む
