Daniel 11
1 And I myself, in the first year of Darius the Mede, took my stand to support and defend him.
我はまたメデア人ダリヨスの元年にかれを助け彼に力をそへたる事ありしなり
2 So now let me reveal the truth to you. There are still three kings to come to power in Persia, and then a fourth who will be far richer than all the others. When he becomes strong through his wealth, he will rally the whole kingdom against Greece.
我いま眞実を汝に示さん視よ此後ペルシャに三人の王興らんその第四の者は富ること一切の者に勝りその富強の大なるを恃みて一切を激發してギリシヤの國を攻ん
3 Then a mighty king will come to power. He will rule with great authority and do whatever he wants.
また一箇の強き王おこり大なる威權を振ふて世を治めその意のままに事を爲ん
4 But as he extends his power his kingdom will be broken up, divided towards the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, and it will not be ruled as he ruled. It will be pulled up and given to others.
但し彼の正に旺盛なる時にその國は破裂して天の四方に分れん其は彼の兒孫に歸せず又かれの振ひしほどの威權あらず即ち彼の國は抜とられて是等の外なる者等に歸せん
5 The king of the south will grow strong, but one of his officers will grow even stronger and will rule his kingdom with great authority.
南の王は強からん然どその大臣の一人これに逾て強くなり威權を振はんその威權は大だる威朧なるべし
6 Some years later they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south will be married to the king of the north to guarantee the peace treaty. However, she will not be able to keep her hold on power, nor will his power continue. She and her attendants will be betrayed, along with her child and husband. Later on, however,
年を經て後彼等相結ばん即ち南の王の女子北の王に適て和好を圖らん然どその腕には力なしまたその王およびその腕は立ことを得じこの女とこれを導ける者とこれを生せたる者とこれに力をつけたる者はみな時におよびて付されん
7 a new king of the south from her family will take over. He will come to attack the army of the king of the north and enter his fortress. He will fight against them and will win.
期て後この女の根より出たる芽興りて之に代り北の王の軍勢にむかひて來りこれが城に打いりて之を攻て勝を得
8 In addition he will take back with him to Egypt the idols of their gods, along with their expensive vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will leave the king of the north alone.
之が神々鑄像および金銀の貴き器具をエジプトに携へさらん彼は北の王の上に立て年を重ねん
9 Then the king of the north will march into the kingdom of the king of the south but will have to retreat to his own land.
彼南の王の國に打入ことあらん然ど自己の國に退くべし
10 However, his sons will prepare for war, assembling a huge number of troops. One of them will lead an advance that rushes forward like a river bursting its banks, crossing over and pressing forward to attack the enemy fortress.
その子等また憤激して許多の大軍を聚め進みきたり溢れて往來しその城まで攻寄せん
11 This will infuriate the king of the south, who will go out into battle against the large army assembled by the king of the north and will defeat it.
是において南の王大に怒り出きたりて北の王と戦ふべし彼大軍を興してこれに當らん然れどもその軍兵はこれが手に付されん
12 After capturing such a large army, he will become very proud, and will kill thousands. But this triumph will not last long.
大軍すなはち興りて彼心に高ぶり數萬人を仆さん然れどもその勢力はこれがために増さじ
13 Years later the king of the north will once again raise an army, even larger than before, and will invade with this huge army, accompanied by plenty of supplies.
また北の王は退きて初よりも大なる軍兵を興し或時すなはち或年數を經て後かならず大兵を率ゐ莫大の輜重を備へて攻來らん
14 At the same time many will rebel against the king of the south. Violent men from your own people will rebel in order to fulfill this vision, but they shall fail.
是時にあたりて衆多の者興りて南の王に敵せん又なんぢの民の中の奸惡人等みづから高ぶりて事を爲しつひに預言をして應ぜしめん即ち彼らは自ら仆るべし
15 Then the king of the north will come and build siege ramps and he will capture a city with strong defenses. The forces of the south will not be able to prevent it—even his best troops won't be able to resist the attack.
茲に北の王襲ひきたり塁を築きて堅城を攻おとさん南の王の腕はこれに當ることを得じ又その撰抜の民もこれに當る力なかるべし
16 The invader will do whatever he wants; no one will be able to oppose him. He will stand in the Beautiful Land with the power to destroy it.
之に攻きたる者はその意に任せて事をなさんその前に立ことを得る者なかるべし彼は美しき地に到らんその地はこれがために荒さるべし
17 He will be determined to come with all the power of his kingdom and will make a peace treaty with the king of the south. To secure this he will give him a daughter of women to marry in order to destroy the kingdom. But she will not be successful and will not support him.
彼その全國の力を盡して打入んとその面をこれに向べけれどまたこれと和好をなして婦人の女子を之に與へん然るにその婦人の女子は之がために身を滅すに至り何事をも成あたはす毫も彼のために益する所なかるべし
18 Then he will turn to attack the coastlands and will conquer many, but a commander will put a stop to his arrogant behavior, paying him back for it.
彼またその面を島々にむけて之を多く取らん茲に一人の大将ありて彼が與へたる恥辱を雪ぎその恥辱をかれの身に與へかへさん
19 He will return to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, and will be gone.
かくて彼その面を自己の國の城々に向ん而して終に躓き仆れて亡ん
20 His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain royal wealth. However, in a short time he will die, but not violently or in battle.
彼に代りて興る者は榮光の國に人を出して租税を征斂しめん但し彼は忿怒にも戦門にもよらずして數日の内に滅亡せん
21 A contemptible person will follow him who will not be given royal majesty. He will take over peacably and assume control of the kingdom through deception.
また之にかはりて起る者は賤まるる者にして國の尊榮これに歸せざらん然れども彼不意に來り巧言をもて國を獲ん
22 Great armies will be swept away before him. They will be broken, as well as the prince of the agreement.
洪水のごとき軍勢かれのために押流されて敗れん契約の君たる者も然らん
23 After making an alliance with him, he will act deceptively. He will come to power peacably, becoming strong though only having a few supporters.
彼は之に契約をむすびて後詭詐を行ひ上りきたりて僅少の民をもて勢を得ん
24 He will invade the richest parts of the land and do what his fathers and forefathers never did—he will distribute plunder, spoil, and possessions. He will make plans to attack fortresses, but only for a time.
彼すなはち不意にきたりてその國の膏腴なる處に攻いりその父もその父の父も爲ざりしところの事を行はん彼はその奪ひたる物掠めたる物および財寳を衆人の中に散すべし彼は謀略をめぐらして堅固なる城々を攻取べし時の至るまで斯のごとくならん
25 Then he will draw on his strength and courage to gather a large army against the king of the south. The king of the south will prepare for war. Fighting back with a large and powerful army, but he will not be successful because of plots made against him.
彼はその勢力を奮ひ心を勵まし大軍を率ゐて南の王に攻よせん南の王もまた自ら奮ひ甚だ大なる強き軍勢をもて迎へ戦はん然ど謀略をめぐらして攻るが故にこれに當ることを得ざるべし
26 Those closest to him will destroy him. His army will be wiped out—many will fall in battle.
すなはち彼の珍膳に與り食ふ者彼を倒さんその軍兵溢れん打死する者衆かるべし
27 The two kings, with evil intentions, will tell each other lies even as they sit together at the same table. But their scheming is pointless—the end will come at the time predicted.
此二人の王は害をなさんと心にはかり同席に共に食して詭詐を言ん然どもその志ならざるべし定まれる時のいたる迄は其事終らじ
28 The king of the north will return to his own country with all the wealth he has looted. He will be determined to attack the people of the holy agreement, and do all he can to destroy it before returning to his own country.
彼は莫大の財寳をもちて自己の國に歸らん彼は聖約に敵する心を懐きて事をなし而してその國にかへらん
29 At the time predicted he will return to invade the south again, but this time it won't be like before.
定まれる時にいたりて彼また進みて南に到らん然ど後の模様は先の模様のごとくならざらん
30 Ships from Cyprus will come to attack him, frightening him off so that he retreats. But this will make him mad, and he will attack the people of the holy agreement, recognizing those who abandon their commitment to the holy agreement.
即ちキツテムの船かれに到るべければ彼力をおとして還り聖約にむかひて忿怒をもらして事をなさん而して彼歸りゆき聖約を棄る者と相謀らん
31 His forces will occupy and defile the Temple fortress. They will put a stop to the continual service, and set up a form of idolatry that causes devastation.
彼より腕おこりて聖所すなはち堅城を汚し常供の物を撤除かせかつ残暴可惡者を立ん
32 The king will use flattery to corrupt those who break the solemn agreement, but the people who know their God will stand firm in their resistance.
彼はまた契約に関て罪を獲る者等を巧言をもて引誘して背かせん然どその神を知る人々は力ありて事をなさん
33 Wise leaders of the people will teach many, though for a time they will be killed by sword and fire, or they will be imprisoned and robbed.
民の中の頴悟者ども衆多の人を教ふるあらん然ながら彼らは暫時の間刃にかかり火にやかれ擄はれ掠められ等して仆れん
34 During this time of persecution they will receive a little help, and many who join them won't be sincere.
その仆るる時にあたりて彼らは少しく扶助を獲ん又衆多の人詐りて彼らに合せん
35 Some of the wise will be killed, so that they may be refined and purified and cleansed until the time of the end, for the predicted time is still to come.
また穎悟者等の中にも仆るる者あらん斯のごとく彼らの中に試むる事浄むる事潔よくする事おこなはれて終の時にいたらん即ち定まれる時まで然るべし
36 The king will do whatever he wants, praising himself and considering himself greater than any god, even saying outrageous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of anger has finished, for what has been decided will be accomplished.
此王その意のままに事をおこなひ萬の神に逾て自己を高くし自己を大にし神々の神たる者にむかひて大言を吐き等して忿怒の息む時までその志を得ん其はその定まれるところの事成ざるべからざればなり
37 He will have no time for the gods of his forefathers, nor for the one loved by women, nor for any other god, for he considers himself greater than any of these.
彼はその先祖の神々を顧みず婦女の愉快を思はずまた何の神をも顧みざらん其は彼一切に逾て自己を大にすればなり
38 Instead he will honor the god of fortresses—a god unknown to his forefathers—giving him offerings of gold and silver and precious stones and expensive gifts.
彼は之の代に軍神を崇め金銀珠玉および寳物をもてその先祖等の識ざりし神を崇めん
39 He will deal with strong fortresses with the help of this foreign god. He will give riches to those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over the people, and distributing the land at a price.
彼はこの異邦の神に由り要害の城々にむかひて事を爲ん凡て彼を尊ぶ者には彼加ふるに榮を以てし之をして衆多の人を治めしめ土地をこれに分ち與へて賞賜とせん
40 At the time of the end the king of the south will attack him. But the king of the north will retaliate with force like a storm, with chariots and horsemen and many ships. He will advance, sweeping through many lands.
終の時にいたりて南の王彼と戦はん北の王は車と馬と衆多の船をもて大風のごとく之に攻寄せ國に打いりて潮のごとく溢れ渉らん
41 He will invade the Beautiful Land and kill many people there. However, Moab, Edom, and most of the Ammonites will escape his power.
42 He will extend his attacks against different countries—even the land of Egypt will not be able to escape.
彼はまた美しき國に進み入ん彼のために亡ぶる者多かるべし然どエドム、モアブ、
43 He will acquire the gold and silver and riches of Egypt, ruling over them and also the Libyans and Ethiopians.
アンモン人の中の第一なる者などは彼の手を免かれん
44 But news from the east and the north will alarm him, and in a furious rage he will set out to destroy and exterminate many people.
彼國々にその手を伸さんエジプトの地も免かれがたし
45 He will set up his royal camp between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. But he will die with no one to help him.
彼は遂にエジプトの金銀財寳を手に入れんリブア人とエテオピア人は彼の後に從はん 彼東と北より報知を得て周章ふためき許多の人を滅し絶んと大に忿りて出ゆかん 彼は海の間において美しき聖山に天幕の宮殿をしつらはん然ど彼つひにその終にいたらん之を助くる者なかるべし
