< Daniel 11 >
1 “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing [is] for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to 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 and now, I declare to you truth: Behold, yet three kings are standing for Persia, and the fourth becomes far richer than all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirs up the whole, with the kingdom of Javan.
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 And a mighty king has stood, and he has ruled a great dominion, and has done according to his will;
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 and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his kingdom is plucked up—and for others apart from these.
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 And a king of the south—even of his princes—becomes strong, and prevails against him, and has ruled; a great dominion [is] his dominion.
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 And at the end of years they join themselves together, and a daughter of the king of the south comes to the king of the north to do upright things; and she does not retain the power of the arm; and he does not stand, nor his arm; and she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child, and he who is strengthening her in [these] times.
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 And [one] has stood up from a branch of her roots, [in] his station, and he comes to the bulwark, indeed, he comes into a stronghold of the king of the north, and has worked against them, and has done mightily;
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 and also their gods, with their princes, with their desirable vessels of silver and gold, he brings in captivity [to] Egypt; and he stands more years than the king of the north.
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 And the king of the south has come into the kingdom, and turned back 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 and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a multitude of great forces, and he has certainly come in, and overflowed, and passed through, and he turns back, and they stir themselves up to his stronghold.
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 And the king of the south becomes embittered, and has gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and has caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude has been given into his hand,
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 and he has carried away the multitude, his heart is high, and he has caused myriads to fall, and he does not become strong.
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 And the king of the north has turned back, and has caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the end of the times a second time he certainly comes in with a great force, and with much substance;
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 and in those times many stand up against the king of the south, and sons of the destroyers of your people lift themselves up to establish the vision—and they have stumbled.
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 And the king of the north comes in, and pours out a mound, and has captured fortified cities; and the arms of the south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, indeed, there is no power to stand.
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 And he who is coming to him does according to his will, and there is none standing before him; and he stands in the desirable land, and [it is] wholly in his hand.
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 And he sets his face to go in with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he has worked, and the daughter of women he gives to him, to corrupt her; and she does not stand, nor is for 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 And he turns back his face to the islands, and has captured many; and a prince has caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turns [it] back to him.
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 And he turns back his face to the strongholds of his land, and has stumbled and fallen, and is not found.
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 And stood up on his station has [one] causing an exactor to pass over the honor of the kingdom, and in a few days he is destroyed, and not in anger, nor 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 And a despicable one has stood up on his station, and they have not given to him the splendor of the kingdom, and he has come in quietly, and has strengthened the kingdom by flatteries.
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 And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him, and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant.
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 And after they join themselves to him, he works deceit, and has increased, and has been strong by a few of the nation.
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 Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He comes, and he has done that which his fathers did not, nor his fathers’ fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, he scatters to them, and against fortifications he devises his plans, even 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 And he stirs up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south stirs himself up to battle with a very great and mighty force, and does not stand, for they devise plans 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 and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his force overflows, and many wounded have fallen.
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 And both of the kings’ hearts [are] to do evil, and at one table they speak lies, and it does not prosper, for yet the end [is] at a time appointed.
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 And he turns back [to] his land with great substance, and his heart [is] against the holy covenant, and he has worked, and turned back to his land.
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 appointed time he turns back, and has come against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the latter.
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 And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he has been pained, and has turned back, and has been insolent toward the holy covenant, and has worked, and turned back, and he understands concerning those forsaking the holy covenant.
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 And strong ones stand up out of him, and have defiled the sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual [sacrifice], and appointed the desolating abomination.
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 And those acting wickedly [against] the covenant, he defiles by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are strong, and have worked.
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 And the teachers of the people give understanding to many; and they have stumbled by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil—days.
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 And in their stumbling, they are helped—a little help, and joined to them have been many with flatteries.
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 And some of the teachers stumble for refining by them, and for purifying, and for making white—until the end of the time, for [it is] yet for a time appointed.
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 And the king has done according to his will, and exalts himself, and magnifies himself against every god, and he speaks wonderful things against the God of gods, and has prospered until the indignation has been completed, for that which is determined has been done.
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 And to the God of his fathers he does not attend, nor to the desire of women, indeed, he does not attend to any god, for he magnifies himself against all.
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 And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he gives honor; indeed, to a god whom his fathers did not know he gives honor, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable things.
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 And he has dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds with a strange god whom he has acknowledged; he multiplies honor, and has caused them to rule over many, and the ground he apportions 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 And at the time of the end, a king of the south pushes himself forward with him, and a king of the north storms against him, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he has come into the lands, and has overflowed, and passed over,
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 and has come into the desirable land, and many stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
42 And he sends forth his hand on the lands, and the land of Egypt is not for an 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 and he has ruled over treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and Cushim [are] at his steps.
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 And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the north, and he has gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to devote many to destruction;
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 and he plants the tents of his palace between the seas and the holy desirable mountain, and has come to his end, and there is no helper to 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
