Daniel 9
1 [Now I am going to tell you about what happened] when Darius, who was from the Mede people-group and who was the son of Xerxes, ruled as the King of Babylonia.
メデア人アハシユエロスの子ダリヨスがカルデヤ人の王とせられしその元年
2 During the first year that he was the king, I, Daniel, was studying/reading the [holy] books/Scriptures the message that Yahweh had given to the prophet Jeremiah. In that message Jeremiah had written that Jerusalem would [be destroyed and] remain ruined for seventy years.
すなはちその世の元年に我ダニエル、ヱホバの言の預言者ヱレミヤにのぞみて告たるその年の數を書によりて暁れり即ちその言にヱルサレムは荒て七十年を經んとあり
3 [After I read that], I pleaded to Yahweh my God [to help us], praying and (fasting/abstaining from eating food). [While doing that, I was wearing] rough cloth and [sitting in] ashes [to show that I was very sad about what was going to happen to us].
是にかいて我面を主ヱホバに向け斷食をなし麻の衣を着灰を蒙り祈りかつ願ひて求むることをせり
4 I confessed [the sins that we had committed], and [this is what I] prayed: Lord, you are great and awesome! You have faithfully done what you said that you would do for us. You faithfully love those who love you and who do what you have commanded [that they should do].
即ち我わが神ヱホバに祷り懺悔して言り嗚呼大にして畏るべき神なる主自己を愛し自己の誡命を守る者のために契約を保ち之に恩惠を施したまふ者よ
5 But we [Israelis] have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled [against you]. We have turned away from [obeying] your commands [DOU].
我等は罪を犯し悖れる事を爲し惡を行ひ叛逆を爲して汝の誡命と律法を離れたり
6 Your prophets spoke for you [MTY], [giving your messages to] kings, to our other rulers, to our [other] ancestors, and to all the Israeli people, but we have refused to (pay attention to/heed) those prophets.
我等はまた汝の僕なる預言者等が汝の名をもて我らの王等君等先祖等および全國の民に告たる所に聽したがはざりしなり
7 Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed [IDM]. This is [still] true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is [also] true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who [were taken to] other countries, some near [Israel] and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.
主よ公義は汝に歸し羞辱は我らに歸せりその状今日のごとし即ちユダの人々ヱルサレムの居民およびイスラエルの全家の者は近き者も遠き者も皆汝の逐やりたまひし諸の國々にて羞辱を蒙れり是は彼らが汝に背きて獲たる罪によりて然るなり
8 Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
主よ羞辱は我儕に歸し我らの王等君等および先祖等に歸す是は我儕なんぢに向ひて罪を犯したればなり
9 Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
憐憫と赦宥は主たる我らの神の裏にあり其は我らこれに叛きたればなり
10 Yahweh our God, when you gave your laws to your prophets who served you, and they told us to conduct our lives according to those laws, we did not (listen to/heed) you.
我らはまた我らの神ヱホバの言に遵はずヱホバがその僕なる預言者等によりて我らの前に設けたまひし律法を行はざりしなり
11 All [of us] Israeli people have disobeyed your laws, and we have turned away from [obeying] what you said. We have sinned against you. As a result, [you] have caused us to experience the terrible things that your servant Moses said/wrote [would happen to us] if we sinned against you.
抑イスラエルの人は皆汝の律法を犯し離れさりて汝の言に遵はざりき是をもて神の僕モーセの律法に記したる呪詛と誓詞我らの上に斟ぎかかれり是は我らこれに罪を獲たればなり
12 You warned us and our rulers that you would punish Jerusalem severely by causing a great disaster there, a disaster that would be worse than any disaster that any other city had ever experienced, and you have done what you said that you would do.
即ち神は大なる災害を我らに蒙らせたまひてその前に我らと我らを鞫ける士師とにむかひて宣ひし言を行ひとげたまへりかのエルサレムに臨みたる事の如きは普天の下に未だ曾て有ざりしなり
13 [You] punished us just like Moses wrote [that you would do]. But, Yahweh our God, we still have not tried, by turning away from our sinning and by heeding your truth, to persuade you to act mercifully toward us.
モーセの律法に記したる如くにこの災害すべて我らに臨みしかども我らはその神ヱホバの面を和めんとも爲ずその惡を離れて汝の眞理を暁らんとも爲ざりき
14 So, because we did not obey you, you prepared to punish us, and [then] you did punish us, because you always do what is righteous/just/fair.
是をもてヱホバ心にかけて災害を我らに降したまへり我らの神ヱホバは何事をなしたまふも凡て公義いますなり然るに我らはその言に遵はざりき
15 O Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt by your great power [MTY], and by doing that you have caused people from that time until the present time to know that you are great [IDM] [even though] we have sinned and done wicked things.
主たる我らの神よ汝は強き手をもて汝の民をエジプトの地より導き出して今日のごとく汝の名を揚たまふ我らは罪を犯し惡き事を行へり
16 Lord, Jerusalem is your city, and [your temple was built there] on your sacred hill. Now all the people who live in nearby [countries/nations] despise Jerusalem and [us] your people because of our sins and because of the evil things that our ancestors did. But [now], because you do what is righteous/just, [we ask you to] not be angry with Jerusalem any longer.
主よ願くは汝が是まで公義き御行爲を爲たまひし如く汝の邑ヱルサレム汝の聖山より汝の忿怒と憤恨を取離し給へ其は我らの罪と我らの先祖の惡のためにヱルサレムと汝の民は我らの周圍の者の笑柄となりたればなり
17 O Lord our God, listen to what I am praying and pleading [for you to do]. (For your own sake/In order that people will know that you are very great), act kindly [IDM] concerning your temple, which was destroyed [by the armies of Babylonia].
然ば我らの神よ僕の祷と願を聽たまへ汝は主にいませばかの荒をる汝の聖所に汝の面を耀かせたまへ
18 My God, listen [to my prayer]. Look [at us] and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you [MTY] has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.
我神よ耳を傾けて聽たまへ目を啓きて我らの荒蕪たる状を觀汝の名をもて稱へらるる邑を觀たまへ我らが汝の前に祈祷をたてまつるは自己の公義によるに非ず唯なんぢの大なる憐憫によるなり
19 Lord, listen [to us]! Lord, forgive us! Lord, this city and these people belong to you, so [we plead with you to] heed what we are saying and act [to help us] right now, (for your own sake/in order that people will know that you are very great)!
主よ聽いれたまへ主よ赦したまへ主よ聽いれて行ひたまへこの事を遅くしたまふなかれわが神よ汝みづからのために之をなしたまへ其は汝の邑と汝の民は汝の名をもて稱へらるればなり
20 I continued praying and confessing the sins that my people and I had committed, and pleading with Yahweh my God that he would restore [the temple on] the sacred hill [in Jerusalem].
我かく言て祈りかつわが罪とわが民イスラエルの罪を懺悔し我神の聖山の事につきてわが神ヱホバのまへに願をたてまつりをる時
21 While I was praying, Gabriel, the angel/one whom I had seen in the vision previously, came flying rapidly to me, at the time in the evening when [the priests] offered sacrifices.
即ち我祈祷の言をのべをる時我が初に異象の中に見たるかの人ガブリエル迅速に飛て晩の祭物を献ぐる頃我許に達し
22 He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
我に告げ我に語りて言けるはダニエルよ今我なんぢを敎へて了解を得せしめんとて出きたれり
23 When you began to plead [with God], he gave me a message [to pass on to you]. He loves you very much, so [he has sent me] to tell you what he said to me. So [now] (pay attention/listen carefully) in order that you may understand the meaning of what he revealed [to Jeremiah].
汝が祈祷を始むるに方りて我言を受たれば之を汝に示さんとて來れり汝は大に愛せらるる者なり此言を了りその現れたる事の義を暁れ
24 [God] has determined/declared that there will be 490 years until he frees/saves your people from [the guilt of] their sins and to atone for the evil things that they have done. Then [God] will rule everyone justly, and he will do that forever. And [what you saw in] the vision and what [Jeremiah] prophesied will (come true/be fulfilled), and the sacred temple will be dedicated [to God again].
汝の民と汝の聖邑のために七十週を定めおかる而して惡を抑へ罪を封じ愆を贖ひ永遠の義を携へ入り異象と預言を封じ至聖者に膏を灌がん
25 You need to know and understand this: There will be 49 years from the time that [the king] commands that Jerusalem should be rebuilt until the leader/king that God has chosen will come. Then 434 years later, Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and it will have streets and will have a (moat/deep ditch filled with water) around it [to protect the city]. But that will be a time when [God’s people] will have [a lot of] troubles/difficulties/suffering.
汝暁り知べしヱルサレムを建なほせといふ命令の出づるよりメッシヤたる君の起るまでに七週と六十二週ありその街と石垣とは擾亂の間に建なほされん
26 After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed [when it seems that] he will have accomplished nothing (unjustly/without having done anything wrong). After that, the temple will be destroyed by [the army of] a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood [MET] [destroys everything]. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that [God] has decreed [will happen].
その六十二週の後にメッシャ絶れん但し是は自己のために非ざるなりまた一人の君の民きたりて邑と聖所とを毀たんその終は洪水に由れる如くなるべし戰爭の終るまでに荒蕪すでに極る
27 That ruler will make a strong agreement with many people. He will promise to do for seven years what he has said in that agreement. But when that time is half finished, he will prevent [priests from] giving any more offerings and sacrifices [to God]. A disgusting idol will be put on the highest part of the temple, and it will stay there until [God] gets rid of the one who put it there, which is what he said that he would do.”
彼一週の間衆多の者と固く契約を結ばん而して彼その週の半に犠牲と供物を廢せんまた殘暴可惡者羽翼の上に立たん斯てつひにその定まれる災害殘暴るる者の上に斟ぎくだらん
