Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar, a vision appeared to me. I Daniel, after what I had seen in the beginning,
我ダニエル前に異象を得たりしが後またベルシヤザルの第三年にいたりて異象を得たり
2 Saw in my vision when I was in the castle of Susa, which is in the province of Elam: and I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.
我異象を見たり我これを見たる時に吾身はエラム州なるシユシヤンの城にあり我が異象を見たるはウライ河の邊においてなりき
3 And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold a ram stood before the water, having two high horns, and one higher than the other, and growing up. Afterward
我目を擧て觀しに河の上に一匹の牡羊立をり之に二の角ありてその角共に長かりしが一の角はその他の角よりも長かりきその長き者は後に長たるなり
4 I saw the ram pushing with his horns against the west, and against the north, and against the south: and no beasts could withstand him, nor be delivered out of his hand: and he did according to his own will, and became great.
我觀しにその牡羊西北南にむかひて牴觸りけるが之に敵ることを得る獣一匹も無くまたその手より救ひいだすことを得る者絶てあらざりき是はその意にまかせて事をなしその勢威はなはだ盛なりき
5 And I understood: and behold a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and he touched not the ground, and the he goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
我これを考へ見つつありけるにて一匹の牡山羊全地の上を飛わたりて西より來りしがその足は土を履ざりきこの牡山羊は目の間に著明しき一の角ありき
6 And he went up to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.
此者さきに我が河の上に立るを見たる彼の二の角ある牡羊に向ひ來り熾盛なる力をもて之の所に跑いたりけるが
7 And when he was come near the ram, he was enraged against him, and struck the ram: and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him: and when he had cast him down on the ground, he stamped upon him, and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.
我觀てあるに牡羊に近づくに至りて之にむかひて怒を發し牡羊を撃てその二の角を碎きたるに牡羊には之に敵る力なかりければこれを地に打倒して踏つけたり然るにその牡羊をこれが手より救ひ得る者あらざりき
8 And the he goat became exceeding great: and when he was grown, the great horn was broken, and there came up four horns under it towards the four winds of heaven.
而してその牡山羊甚だ大きくなりけるがその盛なる時にあたりてかの大なる角折れその代に四の著明しき角生じて天の四方に對へり
9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn: and it became great against the south, and against the east, and against the strength.
またその角の一よりして一の小き角いできたり南にむかひ東にむかひ美地にむかひて甚だ大きくなり
10 And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it threw down of the strength, and of the stars, and trod upon them.
天軍におよぶまでに高くなりその軍と星數箇を地に投くだしてこれを踏つけ
11 And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
また自ら高ぶりてその軍の主に敵しその常供の物を取のぞきかつその聖所を毀てり
12 And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice, because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground, and he shall do and shall prosper.
一軍罪の故によりて常供の物とともに棄られたり彼者はまた眞理を地に擲ち事をなしてその意志を得たり
13 And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to another, I know not to whom that was speaking: How long shall be the vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden under foot?
かくて我聞に一箇の聖者語ひをりしが又一箇の聖者ありてその語ひをる聖者にむかひて言ふ常供の物と荒廢を來らする罪とにつきて異象にあらはれたるところの事聖所とその軍との棄られて踏つけらるる事は何時まで斯てあるべきかと
14 And he said to him: Unto evening and morning two thousand three hundred days: and the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
彼すなはち我に言けるは二千三百の朝夕をかさぬるまで斯てあらん而して聖所は潔めらるべし
15 And it came to pass when I Daniel saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man.
我ダニエルこの異象を見てその意義を知んと求めをりける時人のごとく見ゆる者わが前に立り
16 And I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
時に我聞にウライ河の兩岸の間より人の聲出て呼はりて言ふガブリエルよこの異象をその人に暁らしめよと
17 And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I fell on my face trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man, for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled.
彼すなはち我の立る所にきたりしがその到れる時に我おそれて仆れ伏たるに彼われに言けるは人の子よ暁れ此異象は終の時にかかはる者なりと
18 And when he spoke to me I fell flat on the ground: and he touched me, and set me upright,
彼の我に語ひける時我は氣を喪へる状にて地に俯伏をりしが彼我に手をつけて我を立せ言けるは
19 And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end.
視よ我忿怒の終に起らんところの事を汝に知せん此事は終末の期におよびてあらん
20 The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
汝が見たるかの二の角ある牡羊はメデアとペルシヤの王なり
21 And the he goat, is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn that was between his eyes, the same is the first king.
またかの牡山羊はギリシヤの王その目の間の大なる角はその第一の王なり
22 But whereas when that was broken, there arose up four for it: four kings shall rise up of his nation, but not with his strength.
またその角をれてその代に四の角生じたればその民よりして四の國おこらん然ど第一の者の權勢には及ばざるなり
23 And after their reign, when iniquities shall be grown up, there shall arise a king of a shameless face, and understanding dark sentences.
彼らの國の末にいたり罪人の罪貫盈におよびて一人の王おこらんその顔は猛惡にして巧に詭譎を言ひ
24 And his power shall be strengthened, but not by his own force: and he shall lay all things waste, and shall prosper, and do more than can be believed. And he shall destroy the mighty, and the people of the saints,
その權勢は熾盛ならん但し自己の能力をもて之を致すに非ずその毀滅ことを爲は常ならず意志を得て事を爲し權能ある者等と聖民とを滅さん
25 According to his will, and craft shall be successful in his hand: and his heart shall be puffed up, and in the abundance of all things he shall kill many: and he shall rise up against the prince of princes, and shall be broken without hand.
彼は機巧をもて詭譎をその手に行ひ遂げ心にみづから高ぶり平和の時に衆多の人を打滅しまた君の君たる者に敵せん然ど終には人手によらずして滅されん
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true: thou therefore seal up the vision, because it shall come to pass after many days.
前に告たる朝夕の異象は眞實なり汝その異象の事を秘しおけ是は衆多の日の後に有べき事なり
27 And I Daniel languished, and was sick for some days: and when I was risen up, I did the king’s business, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none that could interpret it.
是において我ダニエル疲れはてて數日の間病わづらひて後興いでて王の事務をおこなへり我はこの異象の事を案ひて駭けり人もまたこれを暁ることを得ざりき
