< Daniel 9 >

1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,
メデア人アハシユエロスの子ダリヨスがカルデヤ人の王とせられしその元年
2 in the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by the books that the number of the years, whereof the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishment of the desolations of Jerusalem, was seventy years.
すなはちその世の元年に我ダニエル、ヱホバの言の預言者ヱレミヤにのぞみて告たるその年の數を書によりて暁れり即ちその言にヱルサレムは荒て七十年を經んとあり
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes;
是にかいて我面を主ヱホバに向け斷食をなし麻の衣を着灰を蒙り祈りかつ願ひて求むることをせり
4 and I prayed unto Jehovah my God, and made my confession, and said, Alas Lord! the great and terrible God, keeping covenant and loving-kindness with them that love him, and that keep his commandments:
即ち我わが神ヱホバに祷り懺悔して言り嗚呼大にして畏るべき神なる主自己を愛し自己の誡命を守る者のために契約を保ち之に恩惠を施したまふ者よ
5 we have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy commandments and from thine ordinances.
我等は罪を犯し悖れる事を爲し惡を行ひ叛逆を爲して汝の誡命と律法を離れたり
6 And we have not hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
我等はまた汝の僕なる預言者等が汝の名をもて我らの王等君等先祖等および全國の民に告たる所に聽したがはざりしなり
7 Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their unfaithfulness in which they have been unfaithful against thee.
主よ公義は汝に歸し羞辱は我らに歸せりその状今日のごとし即ちユダの人々ヱルサレムの居民およびイスラエルの全家の者は近き者も遠き者も皆汝の逐やりたまひし諸の國々にて羞辱を蒙れり是は彼らが汝に背きて獲たる罪によりて然るなり
8 O Lord, unto us is confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
主よ羞辱は我儕に歸し我らの王等君等および先祖等に歸す是は我儕なんぢに向ひて罪を犯したればなり
9 With the Lord our God are mercies and pardons, for we have rebelled against him;
憐憫と赦宥は主たる我らの神の裏にあり其は我らこれに叛きたればなり
10 and we have not hearkened unto the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through his servants the prophets.
我らはまた我らの神ヱホバの言に遵はずヱホバがその僕なる預言者等によりて我らの前に設けたまひし律法を行はざりしなり
11 And all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside so as not to listen unto thy voice. And the curse hath been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God: for we have sinned against him.
抑イスラエルの人は皆汝の律法を犯し離れさりて汝の言に遵はざりき是をもて神の僕モーセの律法に記したる呪詛と誓詞我らの上に斟ぎかかれり是は我らこれに罪を獲たればなり
12 And he hath performed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that there hath not been done under the whole heaven as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
即ち神は大なる災害を我らに蒙らせたまひてその前に我らと我らを鞫ける士師とにむかひて宣ひし言を行ひとげたまへりかのエルサレムに臨みたる事の如きは普天の下に未だ曾て有ざりしなり
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet we besought not Jehovah our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
モーセの律法に記したる如くにこの災害すべて我らに臨みしかども我らはその神ヱホバの面を和めんとも爲ずその惡を離れて汝の眞理を暁らんとも爲ざりき
14 And Jehovah hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he hath done; and we have not hearkened unto his voice.
是をもてヱホバ心にかけて災害を我らに降したまへり我らの神ヱホバは何事をなしたまふも凡て公義いますなり然るに我らはその言に遵はざりき
15 — And now, O Lord our God, who broughtest thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name, as it is this day, — we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
主たる我らの神よ汝は強き手をもて汝の民をエジプトの地より導き出して今日のごとく汝の名を揚たまふ我らは罪を犯し惡き事を行へり
16 Lord, according to all thy righteousnesses, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; for because of our sins, and because of the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people [are become] a reproach to all round about us.
主よ願くは汝が是まで公義き御行爲を爲たまひし如く汝の邑ヱルサレム汝の聖山より汝の忿怒と憤恨を取離し給へ其は我らの罪と我らの先祖の惡のためにヱルサレムと汝の民は我らの周圍の者の笑柄となりたればなり
17 And now, our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
然ば我らの神よ僕の祷と願を聽たまへ汝は主にいませばかの荒をる汝の聖所に汝の面を耀かせたまへ
18 Incline thine ear, O my God, and hear; open thine eyes and behold our desolations, and the city that is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee because of our righteousnesses, but because of thy manifold mercies.
我神よ耳を傾けて聽たまへ目を啓きて我らの荒蕪たる状を觀汝の名をもて稱へらるる邑を觀たまへ我らが汝の前に祈祷をたてまつるは自己の公義によるに非ず唯なんぢの大なる憐憫によるなり
19 Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, hearken and do! defer not, for thine own sake, O my God! for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
主よ聽いれたまへ主よ赦したまへ主よ聽いれて行ひたまへこの事を遅くしたまふなかれわが神よ汝みづからのために之をなしたまへ其は汝の邑と汝の民は汝の名をもて稱へらるればなり
20 And whilst I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God;
我かく言て祈りかつわが罪とわが民イスラエルの罪を懺悔し我神の聖山の事につきてわが神ヱホバのまへに願をたてまつりをる時
21 whilst I was yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
即ち我祈祷の言をのべをる時我が初に異象の中に見たるかの人ガブリエル迅速に飛て晩の祭物を献ぐる頃我許に達し
22 And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.
我に告げ我に語りて言けるはダニエルよ今我なんぢを敎へて了解を得せしめんとて出きたれり
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the word went forth, and I am come to declare [it]; for thou art one greatly beloved. Therefore consider the word, and have understanding in the vision:
汝が祈祷を始むるに方りて我言を受たれば之を汝に示さんとて來れり汝は大に愛せらるる者なり此言を了りその現れたる事の義を暁れ
24 Seventy weeks are apportioned out upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to close the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make expiation for iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal the vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.
汝の民と汝の聖邑のために七十週を定めおかる而して惡を抑へ罪を封じ愆を贖ひ永遠の義を携へ入り異象と預言を封じ至聖者に膏を灌がん
25 Know therefore and understand: From the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah, the Prince, are seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. The street and the moat shall be built again, even in troublous times.
汝暁り知べしヱルサレムを建なほせといふ命令の出づるよりメッシヤたる君の起るまでに七週と六十二週ありその街と石垣とは擾亂の間に建なほされん
26 And after the sixty-two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, and shall have nothing; and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with an overflow, and unto the end, war, — the desolations determined.
その六十二週の後にメッシャ絶れん但し是は自己のために非ざるなりまた一人の君の民きたりて邑と聖所とを毀たんその終は洪水に由れる如くなるべし戰爭の終るまでに荒蕪すでに極る
27 And he shall confirm a covenant with the many [for] one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and because of the protection of abominations [there shall be] a desolator, even until that the consumption and what is determined shall be poured out upon the desolate.
彼一週の間衆多の者と固く契約を結ばん而して彼その週の半に犠牲と供物を廢せんまた殘暴可惡者羽翼の上に立たん斯てつひにその定まれる災害殘暴るる者の上に斟ぎくだらん
