ベルシャザル王は、その大臣一千人のために、盛んな酒宴を設け、その一千人の前で酒を飲んでいた。
2 Belshazzar he said - in [the] taste of wine the to bring [the] vessels of gold and silver which he had brought out Nebuchadnezzar father his from temple the which [was] in Jerusalem so they may drink with them king the and nobles his wives his and concubines his.
酒が進んだとき、ベルシャザルは、その父ネブカデネザルがエルサレムの神殿から取ってきた金銀の器を持ってこいと命じた。王とその大臣たち、および王の妻とそばめらが、これをもって酒を飲むためであった。
3 Then they brought [the] vessels of gold which they had brought out from temple the which [was] [the] house of God which [was] in Jerusalem and they drank with them king the and nobles his wives his and concubines his.
そこで人々はそのエルサレムの神の宮すなわち神殿から取ってきた金銀の器を持ってきたので、王とその大臣たち、および王の妻とそばめらは、これをもって飲んだ。
4 They drank wine the and they praised [the] gods of gold and silver bronze iron wood and stone.
すなわち彼らは酒を飲んで、金、銀、青銅、鉄、木、石などの神々をほめたたえた。
5 At it moment the (they went forth *Q(K)*) fingers of a hand of a human and [they were] writing before candlestick the on plaster the of [the] wall of palace the of king the and king the [was] seeing [the] palm of hand the which [was] writing.
すると突然人の手の指があらわれて、燭台と相対する王の宮殿の塗り壁に物を書いた。王はその物を書いた手の先を見た。
6 Then king the brightness his they changed him and thoughts his they alarmed him and [the] joints of loin[s] his [were] loosened and knees his this [one] to this [one] [were] knocking.
そのために王の顔色は変り、その心は思い悩んで乱れ、その腰のつがいはゆるみ、ひざは震えて互に打ちあった。
7 [was] calling King the with power to bring in conjurers the (Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) and astrologers the [was] replying king the and [was] saying - to [the] wise men of Babylon that any person who he will read aloud writing the this and interpretation its he will declare to me purple he will be clothed (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [will be] on neck his and third in kingdom the he will rule.
王は大声に呼ばわって、法術士、カルデヤびと、占い師らを召してこさせた。王はバビロンの知者たちに告げて言った、「この文字を読み、その解き明かしをわたしに示す者には紫の衣を着せ、首に金の鎖をかけさせて、国の第三のつかさとしよう」と。
8 Then ([were] going in *Q(k)*) all [the] wise men of king the and not [they were] able writing the to read aloud (and interpretation its *Q(K)*) to make known to king the.
王の知者たちは皆はいってきた。しかしその文字を読むことができず、またその解き明かしを王に示すことができなかったので、
9 Then king the Belshazzar exceedingly [was] alarmed and brightness his [were] changing on him and nobles his [were] dumbfounded.
ベルシャザル王は大いに思い悩んで、その顔色は変り、王の大臣たちも当惑した。
10 Queen the before [the] words of king the and nobles his to [the] house of feast the (she went in *Q(k)*) she replied queen the and she said king O for ever live! may not they alarm you thought[s] your and brightness your may not they be changed.
時に王妃は王と大臣たちの言葉を聞いて、その宴会場にはいってきた。そして王妃は言った、「王よ、どうか、とこしえに生きながらえられますように。あなたは心に思い悩んではなりません。また顔色を変えるには及びません。
11 There [is] a man in kingdom your who a spirit of gods holy [is] in him and in [the] days of father your illumination and insight and wisdom like [the] wisdom of gods it was found in him and king the Nebuchadnezzar father your chief of [the] magicians conjurers Chaldeans astrologers he appointed him father your king the.
あなたの国には、聖なる神の霊のやどっているひとりの人がおります。あなたの父の代に、彼は、明知、分別および神のような知恵のあることをあらわしました。あなたの父ネブカデネザル王は、彼を立てて、博士、法術士、カルデヤびと、占い師らの長とされました。
12 As to because that a spirit - extraordinary and understanding and insight an interpreter of dreams and declaring of riddles and loosening of knots it was found in him in Daniel whom king the he made name his Belteshazzar now Daniel let him be summoned and interpretation the he will declare.
彼は、王がベルテシャザルという名を与えたダニエルという者ですが、このダニエルには、すぐれた霊、知識、分別があって、夢を解き、なぞを解き、難問を解くことができます。ゆえにダニエルを召しなさい。彼はその解き明かしを示すでしょう」。
13 Then Daniel he was brought before king the [was] replying king the and [was] saying to Daniel (you *Q(k)*) he [are] Daniel who [is] one of [the] sons of exile the of Judah whom he brought king the father my from Judah.
そこでダニエルは王の前に召された。王はダニエルに言った、「あなたは、わが父の王が、ユダからひきつれてきたユダの捕囚のひとりなのか。
14 And I have heard (concerning you *Q(k)*) that a spirit of gods [is] in you and illumination and insight and wisdom extraordinary it was found in you.
聞くところによると、あなたのうちには、聖なる神の霊がやどっていて、明知、分別および非凡な知恵があるそうだ。
15 And now they have been brought before me wise men the conjurers the that writing the this they will read aloud and interpretation its to make known to me and not [they were] able [the] interpretation of matter the to declare.
わたしは、知者、法術士らを、わが前に召しよせて、この文字を読ませ、その解き明かしを示させようとしたが、彼らは、この事の解き明かしを示すことができなかった。
16 And I I have heard (concerning you *Q(k)*) that (you are able *Q(k)*) interpretations to interpret and knots to loosen now if (you will be able *Q(k)*) writing the to read aloud and interpretation its to make known to me purple you will be clothed (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [will be] on neck your and third the in kingdom the you will rule.
しかしまた聞くところによると、あなたは解き明かしをなし、かつ難問を解くことができるそうだ。それで、あなたがもし、この文字を読み、その解き明かしをわたしに示すことができたなら、あなたに紫の衣を着せ、金の鎖を首にかけさせて、この国の第三のつかさとしよう」。
17 Then [was] replying Daniel and [say] saying before king the gifts your for yourself let them be and rewards your to another give! nevertheless writing the I will read aloud to king the and interpretation the I will make known to him.
ダニエルは王の前に答えて言った、「あなたの賜物は、あなたご自身にとっておき、あなたの贈り物は、他人にお与えください。それでも、わたしは王のためにその文字を読み、その解き明かしをお知らせいたしましょう。
18 (You *Q(k)*) king O God (Most High the *Q(k)*) kingdom the and greatness the and honor the and majesty the he gave to Nebuchadnezzar father your.
王よ、いと高き神はあなたの父ネブカデネザルに国と権勢と、光栄と尊厳とを賜いました。
19 And from greatness the which he gave to him all peoples the nations the and languages the they were (trembling *Q(k)*) and fearing from before him whom he was pleased he was killing and whom he was pleased he was letting live and whom he was pleased he was lifting up and whom he was pleased he was bringing low.
彼に権勢を賜わったことによって、諸民、諸族、諸国語の者はみな、彼の前におののき恐れました。彼は自分の欲する者を殺し、自分の欲する者を生かし、自分の欲する者を上げ、自分の欲する者を下しました。
20 And as that it rose up heart his and spirit his it grew strong to act presumptuously he was deposed from [the] throne of kingdom his and honor the they removed from him.
しかし彼は心に高ぶり、かたくなになり、ごうまんにふるまったので、王位からしりぞけられ、その光栄を奪われ、
21 And away from [the] sons of humankind he was chased and heart his - with animal[s] the (they made *Q(K)*) and [was] with wild donkeys the dwelling place his grass like oxen they fed him and from [the] dew of heavens the body his it became wet until that he knew that [was] having mastery God (Most High the *Q(k)*) over [the] kingdom of humankind and to whomever whom he will be pleased he will appoint (over it. *Q(K)*)
追われて世の人と離れ、その思いは獣のようになり、そのすまいは野ろばと共にあり、牛のように草を食い、その身は天からくだる露にぬれ、こうしてついに彼は、いと高き神が人間の国を治めて、自分の意のままに人を立てられるということを、知るようになりました。
22 (And you *Q(k)*) son his O Belshazzar not you have brought low heart your as to because that all this you knew.
ベルシャザルよ、あなたは彼の子であって、この事をことごとく知っていながら、なお心を低くせず、
23 And against [the] lord of heavens the - you have lifted yourself up and vessels the of house his they have brought (before you and you and nobles your *Q(k)*) wives your and concubines your wine [are] drinking with them and [the] gods of silver and gold bronze iron wood and stone who not [are] seeing and not [are] hearing and not [are] knowing you have praised and God the who breath your [is] in hand his and all ways your [are] to him not you have glorified.
かえって天の主にむかって、みずから高ぶり、その宮の器物をあなたの前に持ってこさせ、あなたとあなたの大臣たちと、あなたの妻とそばめたちは、それをもって酒を飲み、そしてあなたは見ることも、聞くことも、物を知ることもできない金、銀、青銅、鉄、木、石の神々をほめたたえたが、あなたの命をその手ににぎり、あなたのすべての道をつかさどられる神をあがめようとはしなかった。
24 Then from before him it was sent out palm the of hand the and writing the this it was inscribed.
それゆえ、彼の前からこの手が出てきて、この文字が書きしるされたのです。
25 And this [is] writing the which it was inscribed mene mene teqel and pharsin.
そのしるされた文字はこうです。メネ、メネ、テケル、ウパルシン。
26 This [is] [the] interpretation of matter the mene he has numbered God kingdom your and he has finished it.
その事の解き明かしはこうです、メネは神があなたの治世を数えて、これをその終りに至らせたことをいうのです。
27 Teqel you have been weighed in scales the and you have been found lacking.
テケルは、あなたがはかりで量られて、その量の足りないことがあらわれたことをいうのです。
28 Peres it has been broken in two kingdom your and it has been given to Medes and Persians.
ペレスは、あなたの国が分かたれて、メデアとペルシャの人々に与えられることをいうのです」。
29 Then - he said Belshazzar and they clothed Daniel purple (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [was] on neck his and they made proclamation concerning him that he will be having mastery third the in kingdom the.
そこでベルシャザルは命じて、ダニエルに紫の衣を着せ、金の鎖をその首にかけさせ、彼について布告を発して、彼は国の第三のつかさであると言わせた。
30 On it on night the he was killed Belshazzar king the (Chaldeans the. *Q(k)*)
カルデヤびとの王ベルシャザルは、その夜のうちに殺され、
31 And Darius (Median the *Q(K)*) he received kingdom the about a son of years sixty and two.
メデアびとダリヨスが、その国を受けた。この時ダリヨスは、おおよそ六十二歳であった。
