Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true, even a great warfare; and he gave heed to the word, and had understanding of the vision.
ペルシャ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黙旨を得たるがその事は眞實にしてその戦争は大なり彼その事を暁りその示現の義を暁れり
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three whole weeks.
常時我ダニエル三七日の間哀めり 即ち三七日の全く満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
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is 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 lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;
目を挙て望観しに一箇の人ありて布の衣を衣ウバズの金の帯を腰にしめをり
6 his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
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 And I Daniel alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; howbeit a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
この示現は唯我ダニエル一人これを観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 So that I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
故に我ひとり遺りたるがこの大なる示現を観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 Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward 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 And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me tottering upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
一の手ありて我に捫りければ我戦ひながら跪づきて手をつきたるに
11 And he said unto me: 'O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, give heed unto the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for now am I sent unto thee'; and when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood 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戦ひて立り
12 Then said he unto me: 'Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard; and I am come because of thy words.
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聴れたれば我汝の言によりて來れり
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left over there beside the kings of Persia.
然るにペルシャ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肋けたれば我勝留りてペルシャの王等の傍にをる
14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the end of days; for there is yet a vision for the days.'
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米れりまた後の日に関はる所の異象ありと
15 And when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
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 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said unto him that stood before me: 'O my lord, by reason of the vision my pains are come upon me, and I retain no strength.
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 For how can this servant of my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.'
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 Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.
人の形のごとき者ふたたび我に捫り我に力をつけて
19 And he said: 'O man greatly beloved, fear not! peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said: 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast 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 Then said he: Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall 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ャの君と戦はんとす我が出行ん後にギリシャの君きたらん
21 Howbeit I will declare unto thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth; and there is none that holdeth with me against these, except Michael your prince.
但し我まづ眞実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
