Daniel 10
1 In the third year of the reign of King Cyrus of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel (also called Belteshazzar). The message was certain and concerned a great conflict. He understood the message and gained understanding of the 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 When this happened, I, Daniel, had been in mourning for three full weeks.
當時我ダニエル三七日の間哀めり
3 I ate no fine food. No meat or wine passed my lips. I used no perfumed oils until those three weeks were over.
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 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was standing on the bank of the great River 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 I looked around and saw a man dressed in linen, and around his waist was a belt of pure 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 His body shone like a jewel; his face was as bright as lightning; his eyes were like blazing torches; his arms and legs gleamed like polished bronze; and his voice sounded like the roar of a crowd.
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 I, Daniel, was the only one to see this vision—the others with me did not see the vision, but they suddenly felt very frightened and ran away to hide 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 I was left alone to see this wonderful vision. My strength drained away, and my face turned pale as death. I didn't have an ounce of strength left.
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 I heard him speaking, and when I heard his voice I lost consciousness and I lay face down on 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 Then a hand touched me and lifted me onto my hands and knees.
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 He said to me, “Daniel, God loves you very much. Pay attention to what I'm telling you. Stand up, because I have been sent to you.” When he told me this I stood up, 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 “Don't be afraid, Daniel,” he said. “From the first day you concentrated on trying to understand this, and to humble yourself before God, your prayer was heard, and I have come to answer you.
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 Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was being detained there by the kings of Persia.
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 Now I've come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the last days, for the vision is about a time in the future.”
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 As he told me this I remained there with my face to the ground and couldn't say a word.
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 Then the one who looked like a human being touched my lips and I was able to speak. I told the one standing in front of me, “My lord, since I saw the vision I've been in agony and I feel really weak.
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 How can I, your servant, speak to you, my lord? I have no strength, and I can hardly breathe.”
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 Once again the one who looked like a human being touched me and restored my strength.
人の形のごとき者ふたたび我に捫り我に力をつけて
19 “Don't be afraid; God loves you very much. May you have peace! Be strong! Have courage!” As he spoke to me, I became stronger and I said, “My lord, speak to me, 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 “Do you know why I've come to you?” he asked. “Shortly I will have to go back and fight the prince of Persia, and after that the prince of Greece will come.
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 before that I will tell you what is written down in the Book of Truth. No one helps me fight against these princes except 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
