Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, a message was revealed to Daniel, called Belteshazzar, and a true word, and great strength. And he understood the message, for understanding is needed in a vision.
ペルシャの王クロスの三年にベルテシヤザルといふダニエル一の事の黙旨を得たるがその事は眞實にしてその戦争は大なり彼その事を暁りその示現の義を暁れり
2 In those days, I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks of days.
常時我ダニエル三七日の間哀めり 即ち三七日の全く満るまでは旨き物を食ず肉と酒とを口にいれずまた身に膏油を抹ざりき
3 I ate no desirable bread, and neither meat, nor wine, entered my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment, until the three weeks of days were completed.
4 But on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was next to the great river, which is the Tigris.
正月の二十四日に我ヒデケルといふ大河の邊に在り
5 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, one man clothed in linen, and his waist was wrapped with the finest gold,
目を挙て望観しに一箇の人ありて布の衣を衣ウバズの金の帯を腰にしめをり
6 and his body was like the golden stone, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes that of a burning lamp, and his arms and all that is downward all the way to the feet had the appearance of glowing brass, and his speaking voice was like the voice of a multitude.
その體は黄金色の玉のごとくその面は電光の如くその目は火の熖のごとくその手とその足の色は磨ける銅のごとくその言ふ聲は群衆の聲の如し
7 But I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it, but an exceedingly great terror rushed over them, and they fled into hiding.
この示現は唯我ダニエル一人これを観たり我と偕なる人々はこの示現を見ざりしが何となくその身大に慄きて逃かくれたり
8 And I, having been left alone, saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me, moreover, my appearance was altered, and I languished, not having any strength.
故に我ひとり遺りたるがこの大なる示現を観るにおよびて力ぬけさり顔色まつたく變りて毫も力なかりき
9 And I heard the voice of his words, and when I heard, I lay down in confusion on my face, and my face was close to the ground.
我その語ふ聲を聞けるがその語ふ聲を聞る時我は氣を喪へる状にて俯伏し面を土につけゐたりしに
10 And behold, a hand touched me, and raised me onto my knees and the knuckles of my hands.
一の手ありて我に捫りければ我戦ひながら跪づきて手をつきたるに
11 And he said to me, “Daniel, man of longing, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand yourself upright, for I am now sent to you.” And when he had said these words to me, I stood trembling.
彼われに言けるは愛せらるる人ダニエルよ我が汝に告る言を暁れよ汝まづ起あがれ我は今汝の許に遣されたるなりと彼がこの言を我に告る時に我は戦ひて立り
12 And he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, because from the first day that you set your heart to understand, by afflicting yourself in the sight of your God, your words have been heeded, and I have arrived because of your words.
彼すなはち我に言けるはダニエルよ懼るる勿れ汝が心をこめて悟らんとし汝の神の前に身をなやませるその初の日よりして汝の言はすでに聴れたれば我汝の言によりて來れり
13 But the leader of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me for twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, one of the primary leaders, came to help me, and I remained there next to the king of the Persians.
然るにペルシャの國の君二十一日の間わが前に立塞がりけるが長たる君の一なるミカエル來りて我を肋けたれば我勝留りてペルシャの王等の傍にをる
14 But I have come to teach you what will happen to your people in the latter days, because the vision is for a long time from now.”
我は末の日に汝の民に臨まんとするところの事を汝に暁らせんとて米れりまた後の日に関はる所の異象ありと
15 And while he was speaking words to me in this way, I cast my face down to the ground and was silent.
かれ是等の言を我に宣たる時に我は面を土につけて居り辭を措ところ無りしが
16 And behold, something in the likeness of a son of man touched my lips. Then, opening my mouth, I spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, at the sight of you, my limbs became weak and no strength has remained in me.
人の子のごとき者わが唇に捫りければ我すなはち口を開きわが前に立る者に陳て言り我主よこの示現によりて我は畏怖にたへず全く力を失へり
17 And so, how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? For no strength remains in me; and even my breathing is hindered.”
此わが主の僕いかでか此わが主と語ふことを得んとその時は我まつたく力を失ひて氣息も止らんばかりなりしが
18 Therefore, he who looked like a man, touched me again and strengthened me.
人の形のごとき者ふたたび我に捫り我に力をつけて
19 And he said, “Fear not, O man of longing. May peace be with you. Take courage and be strong.” And when he spoke to me, I recovered, and I said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
言けるは愛せらるる人よ懼るる勿れ安んぜよ心強かれ心強かれと斯われに言ければ我力づきて曰り我主よ語りたまへ汝われに力をつけたまへりと
20 And he said, “Do you not know why I have come to you? And next I will return, to fight against the leader of the Persians. When I was leaving, there appeared the leader of the Greeks arriving.
彼われに言けるは汝は我が何のために汝に臨めるかを知るや我今また歸りゆきてペルシャの君と戦はんとす我が出行ん後にギリシャの君きたらん
21 But, in truth, I announce to you what is expressed in the scripture of truth. And no one is my helper in all these things, except Michael your leader.”
但し我まづ眞実の書に記されたる所を汝に示すべし我を助けて彼らに敵る者は汝らの君ミカエルのみ
