Daniel 7
1 In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter.
バビロンの王ベルシヤザルの元年にダニエルその牀にありて夢を見 腦中に異象を得たりしが即ちその夢を記してその事の大意を述ぶ
2 Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea:
ダニエル述て曰く我夜の異象の中に見てありしに四方の天風大海にむかひて烈しく吹きたり
3 And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another.
四箇の大なる獣海より上りきたれりその形はおのおの異なり
4 The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him.
第一のは獅子の如くにして鷲の翼ありけるが我見てをりしに是はその翼を抜とられまた地より起され人のごとく足にて立せられ且人の心を賜はれり
5 And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh.
第二の獣は熊のごとくなりき是はその體の一方を擧げその口の歯の間に三の脇骨を啣へ居けるが之にむかひて言る者あり曰く起あがりて許多の肉を食へと
6 After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him.
その後に我見しに豹のごとき獣いでたりしがその背には鳥の翼四ありこの獣はまた四の頭ありて統轄權をたまはれり
7 After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes.
我夜の異象の中に見しにその後第四の獣いでたりしが是は畏しく猛く大に強くして大なる鐵の歯あり食ひかつ咬碎きてその殘餘をば足にて踏つけたり是はその前に出たる諸の獣とは異なりてまた十の角ありき
8 As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
我その角を考へ觀つつありけるにその中にまた一箇の小き角出きたりしがこの小き角のために先の角三箇その根より抜おちたりこの小き角には人の目のごとき目ありまた大なる事を言ふ口あり
9 I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
我觀つつありしに遂に寳座を置列ぶるありて日の老たる者座を占めたりしがその衣は雪のごとくに白くその髮毛は漂潔めたる羊の毛のごとし又その寳座は火の熖にしてその車輪は燃る火なり
10 A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened.
而して彼の前より一道の火の流わきいづ彼に仕ふる者は千々彼の前に侍る者は萬々審判すなはち始りて書を開けり
11 Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire.
その角の大なる事を言ふ聲によりて我觀つつありけるが我が見る間にその獣は終に殺され體を壞はれて燃る火に投いれられたり
12 As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season.
またその餘の獣はその權威を奪はれたりしがその生命は時と期の至るまで延されたり
13 As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him.
我また夜の異象の中に觀てありけるに人の子のごとき者雲に乗て來り日の老たる者の許に到りたればすなはちその前に導きけるに
14 And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed.
之に權と榮と國とを賜ひて諸民諸族諸音をしてこれに事へしむその權は永遠の權にして移りさらず又その國は亡ぶることなし
15 I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide.
是において我ダニエルその體の内の魂を憂へしめわが腦中の異象のために思ひなやみたれば
16 Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things.
すなはち其處にたてる者の一箇に就てこの一切の事の眞意を問けるに其者われにこの事の解明を告しらせて云く
17 These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
この四の大なる獣は地に興らんとする四人の王なり
18 And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer.
然ど終には至高者の聖徒國を受け長久にその國を保ちて世々限りなからんと
19 After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete.
是において我またその第四の獣の眞意を知んと欲せり此獣は他の獣と異なりて至畏ろしくその歯は鐵その爪は銅にして食ひかつ咬碎きてその殘餘を足にて踏つけたり
20 Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes.
此獣の頭には十の角ありしが其他にまた一の角いできたりしかば之がために三の角抜おちたり此角には目ありまた大なる事を言ふ口ありてその状はその同類よりも強く見えたり我またこの事を知んと欲せり
21 I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them,
我觀つつありけるに此角聖徒と戰ひてこれに勝たりしが
22 Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome.
終に日の老たる者來りて至高者の聖徒のために公義をおこなへり而してその時いたりて聖徒國を獲たり
23 Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces.
彼かく言り第四の獣は地上の第四の國なり是は一切の國と異なり全世界を并呑しこれを踏つけかつ打破らん
24 And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings,
その十の角はこの國に興らんところの十人の王なり之が後にまた一人興るべし是は先の者と異なり且その王三人を倒すべし
25 And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time.
かれ至高者に敵して言を出しかつ至高者の聖徒を惱まさん彼また時と法とを變んことを望まん聖徒は一時と二時と半時を經るまで彼の手に付されてあらん
26 But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende.
斯て後審判はじまり彼はその權を奪はれて終極まで滅び亡ん
27 And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him.
而して國と權と天下の國々の勢力とはみな至高者の聖徒たる民に歸せん至高者の國は永遠の國なり諸國の者みな彼に事へかつ順はんと
28 Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.
その事此にて終れり我ダニエルこれを思ひまはして大に憂へ顔色も變りぬ我この事を心に蔵む
