Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel surnamed Baltassar, and a true word, and great strength: and he understood the word: for there is need of understanding in a vision.
ペルシヤ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默旨を得たるがその事は眞實にしてその戰爭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 the days of three weeks.
當時我ダニエル三七日の間哀めり
3 I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine entered into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of three weeks were accomplished.
即ち三七日の全く滿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
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month I was by 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 a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold:
目を擧て望觀しに一箇の人ありて布の衣を衣ウバズの金の帶を腰にしめをり
6 And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word 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 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves.
この示現は唯我ダニエル一人これを觀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 being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.
故に我ひとり遺りたるがこの大なる示現を觀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 in a consternation, upon 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 lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands.
一の手ありて我に捫りければ我戰ひながら跪づきて手をつきたるに
11 And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word 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戰ひて立り
12 And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy 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聽れたれば我汝の言によりて來れり
13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians.
然るにペルシヤ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助けたれば我勝留りてペルシヤの王等の傍にをる
14 But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.
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來れりまた後の日に關はる所の異象ありと
15 And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my countenance to the ground, and held my peace.
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, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my Lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath 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 how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no strength remaineth in me, moreover my breath is stopped.
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 that 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 desires, peace be to thee: take courage and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong: and I said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast 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: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming.
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ヤの君と戰はんとす我が出行ん後にギリシヤの君きたらん
21 But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince.
但し我まづ眞實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
