是をもて王は命を下し王のためにその夢を解せんとて博士と法術士と魔術士とカルデヤ人とを召しめたれぼ彼ら來りて王の前に立つ

3 And he said to them the king a dream I have dreamed and it was troubled spirit my to know the dream.

王すなはち彼らにむかひ我夢を見その夢の義を知んと心に思ひなやむと言ければ

4 And they spoke the Chaldeans to the king Aramaic king O for ever live! tell! dream the (to servant your *Q(K)*) and interpretation the we will declare.

カルデヤ人等スリア語をもて王に申しけるは願くは王長壽かれ請ふ僕等にその夢を語りたまへ我らその解明を進めたてまつらんと

王こたへてカルデヤ人に言けるは我すでに命を出せり汝等もしその夢とこれが解明とを我に示さざるにおいては汝らの身は切裂れ汝らの家は厠にせられん

6 And if dream the and interpretation its you will declare gifts and a reward and honor great you will receive from before me therefore dream the and interpretation its declare to me.

又汝らもしその夢とこれが解明を示さば贐物と賞賚と大なる尊榮とを我より獲ん然ばその夢と之が解明を我に示せ

7 They replied a second [time] and [they were] saying king O dream the let him tell to servants his and interpretation the we will declare.

彼らまた對へて言けるは願くは王僕どもにその夢を語りたまへ然ば我らその解明を奏すべしと

汝らもしその夢を我に示さずば汝らを處置するの法は只一のみ汝らは相語らひて虚言と妄誕なる詞を我前にのべて時の變るを待んとするなり汝ら今先その夢を我に示せ然すれば汝らがその解明をも我にしめし得ることを我しらんと

10 They replied (Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) before king the and [they were] saying not there [is] a person on earth the who [the] matter of king the he will be able to declare as to because that any king great and powerful a matter like this not he has asked to any magician and conjurer and Chaldean.

カルデヤ人等こたへて王の前に申しけるは世の中には王のその事を示し得る人一箇もなし是をもて王たる者主たる者君たる者等の中に斯る事を博士または法術士またはカルデヤ人に問たづねし者絶てあらざるなり

11 And matter the which king the [is] asking [is] difficult and [is] another not there who he will declare it before king the except gods who dwelling place their [is] with flesh not there it.

王の問たまふその事は甚だ難し肉身なる者と共に居ざる神々を除きては王の前にこれを示すことを得る者無るべしと

12 As to because this king the he was angry and he was furious exceedingly and he said to destroy all [the] wise men of Babylon.

斯りしかば王怒を發し大に憤りバビロンの智者をことごとく殺せと命じたり

13 And decree the it went out and wise men the [were] about to be killed and they sought Daniel and companions his to be killed.

即ち此命くだりければ智者等は殺されんとせり又ダニエルとその同僚をも殺さんともとめたり

14 Then Daniel he sent back counsel and discretion to Arioch [the] chief executioners the of king the who he went out to kill [the] wise men of Babylon.

茲に王の侍衛の長アリオク、バビロンの智者等を殺さんとて出きたりければダニエル遠慮と智慧とをもて之に應答せり

15 [he was] replying And [he was] saying to Arioch captain the of king the on what? [is] decree the harsh from before king the then matter the he made known Arioch to Daniel.

すなはち王の高官アリオクに對へて言けるは王なにとて斯すみやかにこの命を下したまひしやとアリオクその事をダニエルに告しらせたれば

16 And Daniel he went in and he asked from king the that time he will give to him and interpretation the to declare to king the.

ダニエルいりて王に乞求めて言ふ暫くの時日を賜へ然ばその解明を王に奏せんと

17 Then Daniel to house his he went and to Hananiah Mishael and Azariah companions his matter the he made known.

斯てダニエルその家にかへりその同僚ハナニヤ、ミシヤエルおよびアザリヤにこの事を告しらせ

18 And compassion to ask from before [the] God of heavens the concerning secret the this that not they will destroy Daniel and companions his with [the] rest of [the] wise men of Babylon.

共にこの秘密につき天の神の憐憫を乞ひダニエルとその同僚等をしてその他のバビロンの智者とともに滅びさらしめんことを求めたりしが

19 Then to Daniel in vision the of night the secret the it was revealed then Daniel he blessed [the] God of heavens the.

ダニエルつひに夜の異象の中にこの秘密を示されければダニエル天の神を賞賛ふ

20 [was] replying Daniel and [was] saying let it be name his of true God the [be] blessed from antiquity and to perpetuity that wisdom and power which [is] to him it.

即ちダニエル應へて言けるは永遠より永遠にいたるまでこの神の御名は讃まつるべきなり智慧と權能はこれが有なればなり

21 And he [is] changing times the and appointed times the [he is] removing kings and [he is] setting up kings [he is] giving wisdom to wise men and understanding to ones knowing discernment.

彼は時と期とを變じ王を廃し王を立て智者に智慧を與へ賢者に知識を賜ふ

22 He [is] revealing deep [things] and hidden [things] [he is] knowing what? [is] in darkness the (and light the *Q(k)*) with him [is] dwelling.

彼は深妙秘密の事を顕し幽暗にあるところの者を知たまふまた光明彼の裏にあり

23 You - O God of fathers my [am] praising and [am] praising I that wisdom and power you have given to me and now you have made known to me that we asked from you that [the] matter of king the you made known to us.

わが先祖等の神よ汝は我に智慧と權能を賜ひ今われらが汝に乞求めたるところの事を我にしめし給へば我感謝して汝を賞賛ふ即ち汝は王のかの事を我らに示したまへり

24 As to because this Daniel he went in to Arioch whom he had appointed king the to destroy [the] wise men of Babylon he went - and as follows he said to him [the] wise men of Babylon may not you destroy bring in me before king the and interpretation the to king the I will declare.

是においてダニエルは王がバビロンの智者等を殺すことを命じおけるアリオクの許にいたり即ちいりてこれに言けるはバビロンの智者等を殺す勿れ我を王の前に引いたれよ我その解明を王に奏上ぐべしと

25 Then Arioch in haste he brought in Daniel before king the and as follows he said to him that I have found a man from [the] sons of exile the of Judah who interpretation the to king the he will make known.

アリオクすなはちダニエルを引て急ぎ王の前にいたり王にまうしけるは我ユダの俘囚人の中に一箇の人を得たり是者その解明を王にまうしあげん

26 [was] replying King the and [was] saying to Daniel who name his [was] Belteshazzar (¿ [are] you *Q(k)*) able to make known to me dream the which I saw and interpretation its.

王こたへてベルテシヤザルと名くるダニエルに言けるは汝は我が見たる夢とその解明とを我に知らすることを得るやと

27 [was] replying Daniel before king the and [was] saying secret the which king the [is] asking not wise men conjurers magicians astrologers [are] being able to declare to king the.

ダニエルすなはち應へて王の前に言けるは王の問たまふ秘密は智者法術士博士卜筮師など之を王に奏上ぐることを得ず

28 Nevertheless there [is] a God in heavens the [who] reveals secrets and he has made known to king the Nebuchadnezzar what that it will be at [the] end of days the dream your and [the] visions of head your on bed your [is] this it.

然ど天に一の神ありて秘密をあらはし給ふ彼後の日に起らんところの事の如何なるかをネブカデネザル王にしらせたまふなり汝の夢汝が牀にありて想見たまひし汝の脳中の異象は是なり

29 (You *Q(k)*) king O thought[s] your on bed your they came up what that it will be after this and [one who] reveals secrets he has made known to you what that it will be.

王よ汝牀にいりし時将來の事の如何を想ひまはしたまひしが秘密を顕す者将來の事の如何を汝にしめし給へり

30 And I not by wisdom which there [is] in me more than all living [people] the secret the this it has been revealed to me but on [the] cause that interpretation the to king the they will make known and [the] thoughts of heart your you will know.

我がこの示現を蒙れるは凡の生る者にまさりて我に智慧あるに由にあらず唯その解明を王に知しむる事ありて王のつひにその心に想ひたまひし事を知にいたり給はんがためなり

31 (You *Q(k)*) king O seeing you were and lo! an image one great image the this [was] great and splendor its extraordinary [was] standing before you and appearance its [was] terrible.

王よ汝は一箇の巨なる像の汝の前に立るを見たまへり其像は大くしてその光輝は常ならずその形は畏ろしくあり

32 It image the head its of gold good breast its and arms its of silver belli its and loins its of bronze.

其像は頭は純金 胸と兩腕とは銀 腹と腿とは銅

33 Legs its of iron feet its (some of them *Q(K)*) of iron (and some of them *Q(K)*) of clay.

34 Seeing you were until that it was cut out a stone which not [was] by hands and it struck image the on feet its of iron the and clay the and it shattered them.

汝見て居たまひしに遂に一箇の石人手によらずして鑿れて出でその像の鉄と泥土との脚を撃てこれを碎けり

斯りしかばその鉄と泥土と銅と銀と金とは皆ともに碎けて夏の禾場の糠のごとくに成り風に吹はらはれて止るところ無りき而してその像を撃たる石は大なる山となりて全地に充り

36 This [was] dream the and interpretation its we will tell before king the.

是その夢なり我らその解明を王の前に陳ん

37 (You *Q(k)*) king O [are] [the] king of kings the whom [the] God of heavens the kingdom the power the and strength the and honor the he has given to you.

第四の國は堅きこと鉄のごとくならん鉄は能く萬の物を毀ち碎くなり 鉄の是等をことごとく打碎くがごとく其國は毀ちかつ碎くことをせん
