Daniel 2
1 And in the seconde yeere of the raygne of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuchad-nezzar dreamed dreames wherewith his spirite was troubled, and his sleepe was vpon him.
ネブカデネザルの治世の二年にネブカデネザル夢を見それがために心に思ひなやみて復睡ること能はざりき
2 Then the King commanded to call the inchanters, and the astrologians and the sorcerers, and the Caldeans for to shewe the King his dreames: so they came and stoode before the King.
是をもて王は命を下し王のためにその夢を解せんとて博士と法術士と魔術士とカルデヤ人とを召しめたれば彼ら來りて王の前に立つ
3 And the King sayde vnto them, I haue dreamed a dreame, and my spirite was troubled to knowe the dreame.
王すなはち彼らにむかひ我夢を見その夢の義を知んと心に思ひなやむと言ければ
4 Then spake the Caldeans to the King in the Aramites language, O King, liue for euer: shewe thy seruants thy dreame, and wee shall shewe the interpretation.
カルデヤ人等スリア語をもて王に申しけるは願くは王長壽かれ請ふ僕等にその夢を語りたまへ我らその解明を進めたてまつらんと
5 And the King answered and sayd to the Caldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make me vnderstande the dreame with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be drawen in pieces, and your houses shall be made a iakes.
王こたへてカルデヤ人に言けるは我すでに命を出せり汝等もしその夢とこれが解明とを我に示さざるにおいては汝らの身は切裂れ汝らの家は厠にせられん
6 But if yee declare the dreame and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receyue of me gifts and rewardes, and great honour: therefore shewe me the dreame and the interpretation of it.
又汝らもしその夢とこれが解明を示さば贐物と賞賚と大なる尊榮とを我より獲ん然ばその夢と之が解明を我に示せ
7 They answered againe, and sayde, Let the King shewe his seruantes the dreame, and wee will declare the interpretation thereof.
彼らまた對へて言けるは願くは王僕どもにその夢を語りたまへ然ば我らその解明を奏すべしと
8 Then the King answered, and sayd, I knowe certeinly that ye would gaine the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
王こたへて言けるは我あきらかに知る汝らは吾命の下りしを見るが故に時を延さんことを望むなり
9 But if ye will not declare mee the dreame, there is but one iudgement for you: for ye haue prepared lying and corrupt wordes, to speake before me till the time bee changed: therefore tell me the dreame, that I may knowe, if yee can declare me the interpretation thereof.
汝らもしその夢を我に示さずば汝らを處置するの法は只一のみ汝らは相語らひて虚言と妄誕なる詞を我前にのべて時の變るを待んとするなり汝ら今先その夢を我に示せ然すれば汝らがその解明をも我にしめし得ることを我しらんと
10 Then the Caldeans answered before the King, and sayde, There is no man vpon earth that can declare the Kings matter: yea, there is neither king nor prince nor lorde that asked such things at an inchanter or astrologian or Caldean.
カルデヤ人等こたへて王の前に申しけるは世の中には王のその事を示し得る人一箇もなし是をもて王たる者主たる者君たる者等の中に斯る事を博士または法術士またはカルデヤ人に問たづねし者絶てあらざるなり
11 For it is a rare thing that the King requireth, and there is none other that can declare it before the King, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh.
王の問たまふその事は甚だ難し肉身なる者と共に居ざる神々を除きては王の前にこれを示すことを得る者無るべしと
12 For this cause the king was angrie and in great furie, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babel.
斯りしかば王怒を發し大に憤りバビロンの智者をことごとく殺せと命じたり
13 And when sentence was giuen, the wise men were slayne: and they sought Daniel and his fellowes to be put to death.
即ち此命くだりければ智者等は殺されんとせり又ダニエルとその同僚をも殺さんともとめたり
14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisedome to Arioch the Kings chiefe stewarde, which was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babel.
茲に王の侍衛の長アリオク、バビロンの智者等を殺さんとて出きたりければダニエル遠慮と智慧とをもて之に應答せり
15 Yea, he answered and sayde vnto Arioch the kings captaine, Why is the sentence so hastie from the king? Then Arioch declared the thing to Daniel.
すなはち王の高官アリオクに對へて言けるは王なにとて斯すみやかにこの命を下したまひしやとアリオクその事をダニエルに告しらせたれば
16 So Daniel went and desired the king that he woulde giue him leasure and that he woulde shewe the king the interpretation thereof.
ダニエルいりて王に乞求めて言ふ暫くの時日を賜へ然ばその解明を王に奏せんと
17 The Daniel went to his house and shewed the matter to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions,
斯てダニエルその家にかへりその同僚ハナニヤ、ミシヤエルおよびアザリヤにこの事を告しらせ
18 That they should beseech the God of heauen for grace in this secrete, that Daniel and his fellowes should not perish with the rest of ye wise men of Babel.
共にこの秘密につき天の神の憐憫を乞ひダニエルとその同僚等をしてその他のバビロンの智者とともに滅びさらしめんことを求めたりしが
19 Then was the secret reueiled vnto Daniel in a vision by night: therefore Daniel praysed the God of heauen.
ダニエルつひに夜の異象の中にこの秘密を示されければダニエル天の神を稱賛ふ
20 And Daniel answered and sayde, The Name of God be praysed for euer and euer: for wisedome and strength are his,
即ちダニエル應へて言けるは永遠より永遠にいたるまでこの神の御名は讃まつるべきなり智慧と權能はこれが有なればなり
21 And hee changeth the times and seasons: he taketh away kings: he setteth vp kings: he giueth wisedome vnto the wise, and vnderstanding to those that vnderstand.
彼は時と期とを變じ王を廢し王を立て智者に智慧を與へ賢者に知識を賜ふ
22 Hee discouereth the deepe and secrete things: he knoweth what is in darkenes, and the light dwelleth with him.
彼は深妙秘密の事を顯し幽暗にあるところの者を知たまふまた光明彼の裏にあり
23 I thanke thee and prayse thee, O thou God of my fathers, that thou hast giuen mee wisedome and strength, and hast shewed me nowe the thing that wee desired of thee: for thou hast declared vnto vs the kings matter.
わが先祖等の神よ汝は我に智慧と權能を賜ひ今われらが汝に乞求めたるところの事を我にしめし給へば我感謝して汝を稱賛ふ即ち汝は王のかの事を我らに示したまへり
24 Therefore Daniel went vnto Arioch, whome the King had ordeyned to destroy the wise men of Babel: he went and sayde thus vnto him, Destroy not the wise men of Babel, but bring me before the King, and I will declare vnto the King the interpretation.
是においてダニエルは王がバビロンの智者等を殺すことを命じおけるアリオクの許にいたり即ちいりてこれに言けるはバビロンの智者等を殺す勿れ我を王の前に引いたれよ我その解明を王に奏上ぐべしと
25 Then Arioch brought Daniel before the King in all haste, and sayd thus vnto him, I haue found a man of the children of Iudah that were brought captiues, that will declare vnto the King the interpretation.
アリオクすなはちダニエルを引て急ぎ王の前にいたり王にまうしけるは我ユダの俘囚人の中に一箇の人を得たり是者その解明を王にまうしあげん
26 Then answered the King, and sayde vnto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to shew me the dreame, which I haue seene, and the interpretation thereof?
王こたへてベルテシヤザルと名くるダニエルに言けるは汝は我が見たる夢とその解明とを我に知らすることを得るやと
27 Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and sayd, The secret which the King hath demanded, can neither the wise, the astrologians, the inchanters, nor the southsayers declare vnto the King.
ダニエルすなはち應へて王の前に言けるは王の問たまふ秘密は智者法術士博士卜筮師など之を王に奏上ぐることを得ず
28 But there is a God in heauen that reueileth secrets, and sheweth the King Nebuchad-nezzar what shall bee in the latter dayes. Thy dreame, and the things which thou hast seene in thine heade vpon thy bed, is this.
然ど天に一の神ありて秘密をあらはし給ふ彼後の日に起らんところの事の如何なるかをネブカデネザル王にしらせたまふなり汝の夢汝が牀にありて想見たまひし汝の腦中の異象は是なり
29 O King, when thou wast in thy bedde, thoughts came into thy mind, what should come to passe hereafter, and he that reueyleth secretes, telleth thee, what shall come.
王よ汝牀にいりし時將來の事の如何を想ひまはしたまひしが秘密を顯す者將來の事の如何を汝にしめし給へり
30 As for me, this secret is not shewed mee for any wisedome that I haue, more then any other liuing, but onely to shewe the King the interpretation, and that thou mightest knowe the thoughts of thine heart.
我がこの示現を蒙れるは凡の生る者にまさりて我に智慧あるに由にあらず唯その解明を王に知しむる事ありて王のつひにその心に想ひたまひし事を知にいたり給はんがためなり
31 O King, thou sawest, and beholde, there was a great image: this great image whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and the forme thereof was terrible.
王よ汝は一箇の巨なる像の汝の前に立るを見たまへり其像は大くしてその光輝は常ならずその形は畏ろしくあり
32 This images head was of fine golde, his breast and his armes of siluer, his bellie and his thighs of brasse,
其像は頭は純金 胸と兩腕とは銀 腹と腿とは銅
33 His legges of yron, and his feete were part of yron, and part of clay.
脛は鐵 脚は一分は鐵一分は泥土なり
34 Thou beheldest it til a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image vpon his feete, that were of yron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
汝見て居たまひしに遂に一箇の石人手によらずして鑿れて出でその像の鐵と泥土との脚を撃てこれを碎けり
35 Then was the yron, the clay, the brasse, the siluer and the golde broken all together, and became like the chaffe of the sommer floures, and the winde caryed them away, that no place was founde for them: and the stone that smote the image, became a great mountaine, and filled the whole earth.
斯りしかばその鐵と泥土と銅と銀と金とは皆ともに碎けて夏の禾場の糠のごとくに成り風に吹はらはれて止るところ無りき而してその像を撃たる石は大なる山となりて全地に充り
36 This is the dreame, and we will declare before the King the interpretation thereof.
是その夢なり我らその解明を王の前に陳ん
37 O King, thou art a king of Kings: for the God of heauen hath giuen thee a kingdome, power, and strength, and glorie.
王よ汝は諸王の王にいませり即ち天の神汝に國と權威と能力と尊貴とを賜へり
38 And in all places where the children of men dwell, the beasts of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen hath he giuen into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler ouer them al: thou art this heade of golde.
また人の子等野の獣畜および天空の鳥は何處にをる者にもあれ皆これを汝の手に與へて汝にこれをことごとく治めしめたまふ汝はすなはち此金の頭なり
39 And after thee shall rise another kingdome, inferiour to thee, of siluer, and another third kingdome shalbe of brasse, which shall beare rule ouer all the earth.
汝の後に汝に劣る一の國おこらんまた第三に銅の國おこりて全世界を治めん
40 And the fourth kingdome shall be strong as yron: for as yron breaketh in pieces, and subdueth all things, and as yron bruiseth all these things, so shall it breake in pieces, and bruise all.
第四の國は堅きこと鐵のごとくならん鐵は能く萬の物を毀ち碎くなり 鐵の是等をことごとく打碎くがごとく其國は毀ちかつ碎くことをせん
41 Where as thou sawest the feete and toes, parte of potters clay, and part of yron: the kingdome shalbe deuided, but there shalbe in it of the strength of the yron, as thou sawest the yron mixt with the clay, and earth.
汝その足と足の趾を見たまひしに一分は陶人の泥土一分は鐵なりければその國は分裂たる者ならん又汝鐵と粘土との混和たるを見たまひたればその國は鐵のごとく強からん
42 And as the toes of the feete were parte of yron, and parte of clay, so shall the kingdome be partly strong, and partly broken.
その足の趾の一分は鐵一分は泥土なりしごとくその國は強きところもあり脆きところも有ん
43 And where as thou sawest yron mixt with clay and earth, they shall mingle themselues with the seede of men: but they shall not ioyne one with another, as yron can not bee mixed with clay.
汝が鐵と粘土との混りたるを見たまひしごとく其等は人草の種子と混らん然ど鐵と泥土との相合せざるごとく彼と此と相合すること有じ
44 And in the dayes of these Kings, shall the God of heauen set vp a kingdome, which shall neuer be destroyed: and this kingdome shall not be giuen to another people, but it shall breake, and destroy al these kingdomes, and it shall stand for euer.
この王等の日に天の神一の國を建たまはん是は何時までも滅ぶること無らん此國は他の民に歸せず却てこの諸の國を打破りてこれを滅せん是は立ちて永遠にいたらん
45 Where as thou sawest, that the stone was cut of the mountaine without handes, and that it brake in pieces the yron, the brasse, the clay, the siluer, and the golde: so the great God hath shewed the King, what shall come to passe hereafter, and the dreame is true, and the interpretation thereof is sure.
かの石の人手によらずして山より鑿れて出で鐵と銅と泥土と銀と金とを打碎きしを汝が見たまひしは即ちこの事なり大御神この後に起らんところの事を王にしらせたまへるなりその夢は眞にしてこの解明は確なり
46 Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar fell vpon his face, and bowed himselfe vnto Daniel, and commanded that they should offer meate offrings, and sweete odours vnto him.
是においてネブカデネザル王は俯伏てダニエルを拝し禮物と香をこれに献ぐることを命じたり
47 Also the King answered vnto Daniel, and said, I know of a trueth that your God is a God of gods, and the Lord of Kings, and the reueiler of secrets, seeing thou couldest open this secret.
而して王こたへてダニエルに言けるは汝がこの秘密を明かに示すことを得たるを見れば誠に汝らの神は神等の神王等の主にして能く秘密を示す者なりと
48 So the King made Daniel a great man, and gaue him many and great giftes. Hee made him gouernour ouer the whole prouince of Babel, and chiefe of the rulers, and aboue all the wise men of Babel.
かくて王はダこエルに高位を授け種々の大なる賜物を與へてこれをバビロン全州の總督となしまたバビロンの智者等を統る者の首長となせり
49 Then Daniel made request to the King, and hee set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ouer the charge of the prouince of Babel: but Daniel sate in the gate of the King.
王またダニエルの願によりてシヤデラクとメシヤクとアベデネゴを擧てバビロン州の事務をつかさどらしめたりダニエルは王の宮にをる
