Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus the king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word is the truth, but the time appointed is long off: and he noted the word, and took notice of it in the appearance.
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 full 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 Costly food did I not eat, and flesh and wine came not in my mouth, nor did I at all anoint myself, till three whole weeks were elapsed.
4 And on the four and twentieth day of the first month, while I was by the side of the great river, which is Chiddekel,
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 my eyes, and looked, and behold there was a certain man clothed in linen, and his 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 And his body was also like the chrysolite, and his face, like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like torches of fire, and his arms and his feet, like the color of polished copper, and the sound of his words was like the noise 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 saw alone this appearance; but the men that were with me did not see the appearance: nevertheless a great terror fell upon them, so that 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 And I was left by myself alone, and I saw this great appearance, and there remained no strength in me; and my healthy color was changed on 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 Then heard I the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I sank in amazement 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, and it moved me upon my knees and 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, the man greatly beloved, mark well the words that I speak unto thee, and stand on thy standing-place; for now have I been sent unto thee. And when he had spoken this word unto me, 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戦ひて立り
12 And he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to obtain understanding, and to fast before thy God, were thy words heard: and I am come in consequence 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 stood up against me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I obtained the victory there with 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 am I come to make thee understand what is to befall thy people, in the latter days; for the vision is yet for the [coming] 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 spoke unto me such words, I directed my face toward the ground, and I became 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, something like the form of the sons of men touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and I spoke, and said unto him that stood opposite to me, O my lord, because of the appearance my pains suddenly overcame me, and I have retained 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 And how shall the servant of this my lord be able to speak with this my lord? And as for me, from that moment there remained no strength in me, and no breath was 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 something 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, Fear not, O man greatly beloved: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spoke with me, I felt myself 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 am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and as I am going forth, lo, the prince of Javan is coming.
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 Nevertheless will I tell thee what is noted down in the writing of truth: —and there is none that holdeth with me [to assist me] against those, 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
