< Daniel 11 >

1 And I in year one of Darius the Mede standing my [was] to a strengthener and to a protection for him.
わたしはまたメデアびとダリヨスの元年に立って彼を強め、彼を力づけたことがあります。
2 And now truth I will tell to you there! yet three kings [are] about to arise for Persia and the fourth [king] he will gain wealth wealth great more than everyone and according to strength his by wealth his he will stir up everyone [the] kingdom of Greece.
わたしは今あなたに真理を示そう。見よ、ペルシャになお三人の王が起るでしょう。その第四の者は、他のすべての者にまさって富み、その富によって強くなったとき、彼はすべてのものを動員して、ギリシヤの国を攻めます。
3 And he will arise a king mighty and he will have dominion dominion great and he will do according to pleasure his.
またひとりの勇ましい王が起り、大いなる権力をもって世を治め、その意のままに事をなすでしょう。
4 And just as arises he it will be broken up kingdom his and it will be divided to [the] four [the] winds of the heavens and not to posterity his and not like dominion his which he had dominion for it will be plucked up kingdom his and to others besides these.
彼が強くなった時、その国は破られ、天の四方に分かたれます。それは彼の子孫に帰せず、また彼が治めたほどの権力もなく、彼の国は抜き取られて、これら以外の者どもに帰するでしょう。
5 So he may become strong [the] king of the south and one of commanders his so he may become strong on him and he will exercise dominion [will be] a dominion great dominion his.
南の王は強くなります。しかしその将軍のひとりが、彼にまさって強くなり、権力をふるいます。その権力は、大いなる権力です。
6 And to [the] end of years they will make an alliance and [the] daughter of [the] king of the south she will come to [the] king of the north to do uprightness and not she will retain [the] power of the arm and not he will stand arm his so she may be given up she and [those who] brought her and the [one who] fathered her and [the one who] strengthened her in the times.
年を経て後、彼らは縁組をなし、南の王の娘が、北の王にきて、和親をはかります。しかしその女は、その腕の力を保つことができず、またその王も、その子も立つことができません。その女と、その従者と、その子およびその女を獲た者とは、わたされるでしょう。
7 And he will arise one of [the] shoot[s] of roots her place his so he may come against the army so he may go in [the] stronghold of [the] king of the north and he will do with them and he will prevail.
そのころ、この女の根から、一つの芽が起って彼に代り、北の王の軍勢にむかってきて、その城に討ち入り、これを攻めて勝つでしょう。
8 And also gods their with molten images their with [the] vessels of desire their silver and gold in captivity he will take Egypt and he years he will stand away from [the] king of the north.
彼はまた彼らの神々、鋳像および金銀の貴重な器物を、エジプトに携え去り、そして数年の間、北の王を討つことを控えます。
9 And he will go in [the] kingdom of [the] king of the south and he will return to own land his.
その後、北の王は、南の王の国に討ち入るが、自分の国に帰るでしょう。
10 (And sons his *Q(K)*) they will wage war and they will gather a multitude of armies great and it will go certainly and it will overflow and it will pass over and it will return (so it may wage war *Q(K)*) to (stronghold his. *Q(K)*)
その子らはまた憤激して、あまたの大軍を集め、進んで行って、みなぎりあふれ、通り過ぎるが、また行って、その城にまで攻め寄せるでしょう。
11 So he may be enraged [the] king of the south and he will go out and he will engage in battle with him with [the] king of the north and he will raise up a multitude great and it will be given the multitude in hand his.
そこで南の王は、大いに怒り、出てきて北の王と戦います。彼は大軍を起すけれども、その軍は相手の手にわたされるでしょう。
12 And it will be carried off the multitude (and it will be lifted up *Q(K)*) heart his and he will make fall tens of thousands and not he will prevail.
彼がその軍を打ち破ったとき、その心は高ぶり、数万人を倒します。しかし、勝つことはありません。
13 And he will return [the] king of the north and he will raise up a multitude great more than the first and to [the] end of the times years he will come certainly with an army large and with equipment much.
それは北の王がまた初めよりも大いなる軍を起し、数年の後、大いなる軍勢と多くの軍需品とをもって、攻めて来るからです。
14 And in the times those many [people] they will arise on [the] king of the south and [the] sons of - [the] violent ones of people your they will exalt themselves to fulfill [the] vision and they will stumble.
そのころ多くの者が起って、南の王に敵します。またあなたの民のうちのあらくれ者が、みずから高ぶって事をなし、幻を成就しようとするが失敗するでしょう。
15 And he may come [the] king of the north so he may pour out a mound and he will capture a city of fortifications and [the] forces of the south not they will stand and [the] people of choicest ones his and there not [will be] strength to stand.
こうして北の王がきて、塁を築き、堅固な町を取るが、南の王の力は、これに立ち向かうことができず、またそのえり抜きの民も、これに立ち向かう力がありません。
16 And he will do the [one who] comes against him according to pleasure his and there not [will be one who] stands before him so he may stand in [the] land of beauty and complete destruction [will be] in hand his.
これに攻めて来る者は、その心のままに事をなし、その前に立ち向かうことのできる者はなく、彼は麗しい地に立ち、その地は全く彼のために荒されます。
17 And he will set - face his to come with [the] power of all kingdom his and upright [things] with him and he will do and [the] daughter of the women he will give to him to destroy it and not it will stand and not to him it will happen.
彼は全国の力をもって討ち入ろうと、その顔を向けるが、相手と仲直りをし、その娘を与えて、その国を取ろうとします。しかし、その事は成らず、また彼の利益にはならないでしょう。
18 (And he will set *Q(K)*) face his to [the] coastlands and he will capture many [people] and he will put an end to a commander scorn his for him not scorn his he will turn back to him.
その後、彼は顔を海沿いの国々に向けて、その多くのものを取ります。しかし、ひとりの大将があって、彼が与えた恥辱をそそぎ、その恥辱を彼の上に返します。
19 And he will turn face his to [the] strongholds of own land his and he will stumble and he will fall and not he will be found.
こうして彼は、その顔を自分の国の要害に向けるが、彼はつまずき倒れて消えうせるでしょう。
20 And he will arise on place his [one who] will send through an oppressor [the] splendor of a kingdom and in days one he will be broken and not in anger and not in battle.
彼に代って起る者は、栄光の国に人をつかわして、租税を取り立てさせるでしょう。しかし彼は、怒りにも戦いにもよらず、数日のうちに滅ぼされます。
21 And he will arise on place his a despicable [person] and not people had given to him [the] honor of royalty and he will come in quietness and he will take hold of royalty by intrigues.
彼に代って起る者は、卑しむべき者であって、彼には、王の尊厳が与えられず、彼は不意にきて、巧言をもって国を獲るでしょう。
22 And [the] forces of the flood they will be swept away from to before him so they may be broken and also a prince of a covenant.
洪水のような軍勢は、彼の前に押し流されて敗られ、契約の君たる者もまた敗られるでしょう。
23 And from when made an alliance with him he will act deceit and he will rise and he will become mighty with fewness of a nation.
彼は、これと同盟を結んで後、偽りのおこないをなし、わずかな民をもって強くなり、
24 In quietness and in [the] fertile places of [the] province he will come and he will do [that] which not they did ancestors his and [the] ancestors of ancestors his plunder and booty and property to them he will scatter and on strongholds he will plan plans his and until a time.
不意にその州の最も肥えた所に攻め入り、その父も、その父の父もしなかった事をおこない、その奪った物、かすめた物および財宝を、人々の中に散らすでしょう。彼はまた計略をめぐらして、堅固な城を攻めるが、ただし、それは時の至るまでです。
25 And he will stir up strength his and heart his on [the] king of the south with an army large and [the] king of the south he will get ready for the battle with an army large and mighty up to muchness and not he will stand for people will plan on him plans.
彼はその勢力と勇気とを奮い起し、大軍を率いて南の王を攻めます。南の王もまたみずから奮い、はなはだ大いなる強力な軍勢をもって戦います。しかし、彼に対して、陰謀をめぐらす者があるので、これに立ち向かうことができません。
26 And [those who] eat deli-cacies his they will break him and army his it will overflow and they will fall slain [ones] many.
すなわち彼の食物を食べる者たちが、彼を滅ぼします。そして、その軍勢は押し流されて、多くの者が倒れ死ぬでしょう。
27 And [the] two of them the kings heart their [will be] to evil and at a table one falsehood they will speak and not it will succeed for yet [the] end [is] to the appointed time.
このふたりの王は、害を与えようと心にはかり、ひとつ食卓に共に食して、偽りを語るが、それは成功しません。終りはなお定まった時の来るまでこないからです。
28 And he will return own land his with property great and heart his [will be] on [the] covenant of holiness and he will act and he will return to own land his.
彼は大いなる財宝をもって、自分の国に帰るでしょう。しかし、彼の心は聖なる契約にそむき、ほしいままに事をなして、自分の国に帰ります。
29 To the appointed time he will return and he will come in the south and not it will be as the former [time] and as the latter [time].
定まった時になって、彼はまた南に討ち入ります。しかし、この時は前の時のようではありません。
30 And they will come on him ships of Kittim and he will be disheartened and he will turn back and he will direct indignation towards [the] covenant of holiness and he will act and he will turn back and he will pay attention on [those who] forsake [the] covenant of holiness.
それはキッテムの船が、彼に立ち向かって来るので、彼は脅かされて帰り、聖なる契約に対して憤り、事を行うでしょう。彼は帰っていって、聖なる契約を捨てる者を顧み用いるでしょう。
31 And forces from him they will arise and they will profane the sanctuary the stronghold and they will abolish the perpetual [offering] and they will set up the abomination desolating.
彼から軍勢が起って、神殿と城郭を汚し、常供の燔祭を取り除き、荒す憎むべきものを立てるでしょう。
32 And [those who] act wickedly of [the] covenant he will pollute with flattering [words] and a people [which] knows God its they will display strength and they will act.
彼は契約を破る者どもを、巧言をもってそそのかし、そむかせるが、自分の神を知る民は、堅く立って事を行います。
33 And [those who] have insight of [the] people they will give understanding to the many [people] and they will stumble by sword and by flame by captivity and by plunder days.
民のうちの賢い人々は、多くの人を悟りに至らせます。それでも、彼らはしばらくの間、やいばにかかり、火に焼かれ、捕われ、かすめられなどして倒れます。
34 And when stumble they they will be helped help a little and they will join themselves to them many [people] by intrigues.
その倒れるとき、彼らは少しの助けを獲ます。また多くの人が、巧言をもって彼らにくみするでしょう。
35 And some of those [who] have insight they will stumble to refine them and to purge [them] and to purify [them] until [the] time of [the] end for [it is] still to the appointed time.
また賢い者のうちのある者は、終りの時まで、自分を練り、清め、白くするために倒れるでしょう。終りはなお定まった時の来るまでこないからです。
36 And he will do according to pleasure his the king so he may exalt himself and he may magnify himself above every god and on [the] God of gods he will speak extraordinary [things] and he will succeed until it has been completed indignation for [what has been] decreed it will be done.
この王は、その心のままに事をおこない、すべての神を越えて、自分を高くし、自分を大いにし、神々の神たる者にむかって、驚くべき事を語り、憤りのやむ時まで栄えるでしょう。これは定められた事が成就するからです。
37 And on [the] gods of ancestors his not he will pay attention and on [the] desire of women and on any god not he will pay attention for above all he will magnify himself.
彼はその先祖の神々を顧みず、また婦人の好む者も、いかなる神をも顧みないでしょう。彼はすべてにまさって、自分を大いなる者とするからです。
38 And a god of strongholds on place its he will honor and a god which not they knew it ancestors his he will honor with gold and with silver and with stone costly and with precious things.
彼はこれらの者の代りに、要害の神をあがめ、金、銀、宝石、および宝物をもって、その先祖たちの知らなかった神をあがめ、
39 And he will act to [the] fortresses of strongholds with a god of foreignness [one] who (he acknowledges *Q(K)*) he will increase honor and he will make rule them over the many [people] and land he will divide up for a price.
異邦の神の助けによって、最も強固な城にむかって、事をなすでしょう。そして彼を認める者には、栄誉を増し与え、これに多くの人を治めさせ、賞与として土地を分け与えるでしょう。
40 And at [the] time of [the] end he will wage war with him [the] king of the south so he may storm on him [the] king of the north with chariotry and with horsemen and with ships many and he will go in lands and he will overflow and he will pass through.
終りの時になって、南の王は彼と戦います。北の王は、戦車と騎兵と、多くの船をもって、つむじ風のように彼を攻め、国々にはいっていって、みなぎりあふれ、通り過ぎるでしょう。
41 And he will come in [the] land of beauty and many [people] they will stumble and these they will escape from hand his Edom and Moab and [the] first of [the] people of Ammon.
彼はまた麗しい国にはいります。また彼によって、多くの者が滅ぼされます。しかし、エドム、モアブ、アンモンびとらのうちのおもな者は、彼の手から救われましょう。
42 So he may stretch out hand his on lands and [the] land of Egypt not it will become an escaped remnant.
彼は国々にその手を伸ばし、エジプトの地も免れません。
43 And he will rule over [the] treasures of gold and silver and over all [the] precious things of Egypt and Libyans and Cushites [will be] in footsteps his.
彼は金銀の財宝と、エジプトのすべての宝物を支配し、リビヤびと、エチオピヤびとは、彼のあとに従います。
44 And reports they will dismay him from [the] east and from [the] north and he will go out in rage great to destroy and to totally destroy many [people].
しかし東と北からの知らせが彼を驚かし、彼は多くの人を滅ぼし絶やそうと、大いなる怒りをもって出て行きます。
45 So he may pitch [the] tents of palace his between [the] seas and [the] mountain of [the] beauty of holiness and he will come to end his and not a helper [will belong] to him.
彼は海と麗しい聖山との間に、天幕の宮殿を設けるでしょう。しかし、彼はついにその終りにいたり、彼を助ける者はないでしょう。
