Daniel 8
1 “In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision has appeared to me—I Daniel—after that which had appeared to me at the beginning.
我ダニエル前に異象を得たりしが後またベルシヤザルの第三年にいたりて異象を得たり
2 And I see in a vision, and it comes to pass, in my seeing, and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream Ulai.
我異象を見たり我これを見たる時に吾身はエラム州なるシユシヤンの城にあり我が異象を見たるはウライ河の邊においてなりき
3 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain ram is standing before the stream, and it has two horns, and the two horns [are] high; and one [is] higher than the other, and the high one is coming up last.
我目を挙て観しに何の上に一匹の牡羊立をり之に二の角ありてその角共に長かりしが一の角はその他の角よりも長かりきその長き者は後に長たるなり
4 I have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no living creatures stand before it, and there is none delivering out of its hand, and it has done according to its pleasure, and has exerted itself.
我観しにその牡羊西北南にむかひて牴觸りけるが之に敵ることを得る獣一匹も無くまたその手より救ひいだすことを得る者絶てあらざりき是はその意にまかせて事をなしその勢威はなはだ盛なりき
5 And I have been considering, and behold, a young male goat has come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as for the young male goat, a conspicuous horn [is] between its eyes.
我これを考へ見つつありけるにて一匹の牡山羊全地の上を飛わたりて西より來りしがその足は土を履ざりきこの牡山羊は目の間に著明しき一の角ありき
6 And it comes to the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runs to it in the fury of its power.
此者さきに我が何の上に立るを見たる彼の二の角ある牡羊に向ひ來り熾盛なる力をもて之の所に跑いたりけるが
7 And I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becomes embittered at it, and strikes the ram, and breaks its two horns, and there has been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casts it to the earth, and tramples it down, and there has been no deliverer to the ram out of its power.
我観てあるに牡羊に近づくに至りて之にむかひて怒を發し牡羊を撃てその二の角を碎きたるに牡羊には之に敵る力なかりければこれを地に打倒して蹈つけたり然るにその牡羊をこれが手より救ひ得る者あらざりき
8 And the young male goat has exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, the great horn has been broken; and a vision of four comes up in its place, at the four winds of the heavens.
而してその牡山羊甚だ大きくなりけるがその盛なる時にあたりてかの大なる角折れその代に四の著明しき角生じて天の四方に對へり
9 And from one of them has come forth a little horn, and it exerts itself greatly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful [land];
またその角の一よりして一の小き角いできたり南にむかひ東にむかひ美地にむかひて甚だ大きくなり
10 indeed, it exerts to the host of the heavens, and causes to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and tramples them down.
天軍におよぶまでに高くなりその軍と星數箇を地に投くだしてこれを蹈つけ
11 And to the prince of the host it exerts itself, and the continual [sacrifice] has been taken away by it, and thrown down the base of his sanctuary.
また自ら高ぶりてその軍の主に敵しその常供の物を取のぞきかつその聖所を毀てり
12 And the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice], through transgression, and it throws down truth to the earth, and it has worked, and prospered.
一軍罪の故によりて常供の物とともに棄られたり彼者はまた眞理を地に擲ち事をなしてその意志を得たり
13 And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one says to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Until when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make a treading down of both sanctuary and host?
かくて我聞に一箇の聖者語ひをりしが又一箇の聖者ありてその語ひをる聖者にむかひて言ふ常供の物と荒廃を來らする罪とにつきて異象にあらはれたるところの事聖所とその軍との棄られて蹈つけらるる事は何時まで斯てあるべきかと
14 And he says to me, Until evening—morning two thousand and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right.
彼すなはち我に言けるは二千三百の朝夕をかさぬるまで斯てあらん而して聖所は潔めらるべし
15 And it comes to pass in my seeing—I, Daniel—the vision, that I require understanding, and behold, standing before me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one.
我ダニエルこの異象を見てその意義を知んと求めをりける時人のごとく見ゆる者わが前に立り
16 And I hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and he calls and says: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand the appearance.
時に我聞にウライ河の兩岸の間より人の聲出て呼はりて言ふガブリエルよこの異象をその人に暁らしめよと
17 And he comes in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he says to me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] the vision.
彼すなはち我の立る所にきたりしがその到れる時に我おそれて仆れ伏たるに彼われに言けるは人の子よ暁れ此異象は終の時にかかはる者なりと
18 And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he comes against me, and causes me to stand on my station,
彼の我に語ひける時我は氣を喪へる状にて地に俯伏をりしが彼我に手をつけて我を立せ言けるは
19 and says: Behold, I am causing you to know that which is in the latter end of the indignation; for at the appointed time [is] the end.
視よ我忿怒の終に起らんところの事を汝に知せん此事は終末の期におよびてあらん
20 The ram that you have seen possessing two horns, [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
汝が見たるかの二の角ある牡羊はメデアとペルシャの王なり
21 And the young male goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its eyes is the first king;
またかの牡山羊はギリシヤの王その目の間の大なる角はその第一の王なり
22 and that being broken, four stand up in its place, four kingdoms stand up from the nation, and not in its power.
またその角をれてその代に四の角生じたればその民よりして四の國おこらん然ど第一の者の權勢には及ばざるなり
23 And in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, a king stands up, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things;
彼らの國の末にいたり罪人の罪貫盈におよびて一人の王おこらんその顔は猛惡にして巧に詭譎を言ひ
24 and his power has been mighty, and not by his own power; and he destroys wonderful things, and he has prospered, and worked, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the Holy Ones.
その權勢は熾盛ならん但し自己の能力をもて之を致すに非ずその毀滅ことを爲は常ならず意志を得て事を爲し權能ある者等と聖民とを滅さん
25 And by his understanding he has also caused deceit to prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerts himself, and by ease he destroys many; and he stands against the Prince of princes—and he is broken without hand.
彼は機巧をもて詭譎をその手に行ひ遂げ心にみづから高ぶり平和の時に衆多の人を打滅しまた君の君たる者に敵せん然ど終には人手によらずして滅されん
26 And the appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and you, hide the vision, for [it is] after many days.
前に告たる朝夕の異象は眞実なり汝その異象の事を秘しおけ是は衆多の日の後に有べき事なり
27 And I, Daniel, have been, indeed, I became sick [for] days, and I rise, and do the king’s work, and am astonished at the appearance, and there is none understanding.”
是において我ダニエル疲れはてて數日の間病わづらひて後興いでて王の事務をおこなへり我はこの異象の事を案ひて駭けり人もまたこれを暁ることを得ざりき
