Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
ペルシヤの王クロスの三年にベルテシヤザルといふダニエル一の事の默旨を得たるがその事は眞實にしてその戰爭は大なり彼その事を暁りその示現の義を暁れり
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
當時我ダニエル三七日の間哀めり
3 I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
即ち三七日の全く滿るまでは旨き物を食ず肉と酒とを口にいれずまた身に膏油を抹ざりき
4 In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
正月の二十四日に我ヒデケルといふ大河の邊に在り
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
目を擧て望觀しに一箇の人ありて布の衣を衣ウバズの金の帶を腰にしめをり
6 His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
その體は黄金色の玉のごとくその面は電光の如くその目は火の熖のごとくその手とその足の色は磨ける銅のごとくその言ふ聲は群衆の聲の如し
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
この示現は唯我ダニエル一人これを觀たり我と偕なる人々はこの示現を見ざりしが何となくその身大に慄きて逃かくれたり
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
故に我ひとり遺りたるがこの大なる示現を觀るにおよびて力ぬけさり顔色まつたく變りて毫も力なかりき
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
我その語ふ聲を聞けるがその語ふ聲を聞る時我は氣を喪へる状にて俯伏し面を土につけゐたりしに
10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
一の手ありて我に捫りければ我戰ひながら跪づきて手をつきたるに
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
彼われに言けるは愛せらるる人ダニエルよ我が汝に告る言を暁れよ汝まづ起あがれ我は今汝の許に遣されたるなりと彼がこの言を我に告る時に我は戰ひて立り
12 Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
彼すなはち我に言けるはダニエルよ懼るる勿れ汝が心をこめて悟らんとし汝の神の前に身をなやませるその初の日よりして汝の言はすでに聽れたれば我汝の言によりて來れり
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
然るにペルシヤの國の君二十一日の間わが前に立塞がりけるが長たる君の一なるミカエル來りて我を助けたれば我勝留りてペルシヤの王等の傍にをる
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
我は末の日に汝の民に臨まんとするところの事を汝に暁らせんとて來れりまた後の日に關はる所の異象ありと
15 When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
かれ是等の言を我に宣たる時に我は面を土につけて居り辭を措ところ無りしが
16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
人の子のごとき者わが唇に捫りければ我すなはち口を開きわが前に立る者に陳て言り我主よこの示現によりて我は畏怖にたへず全く力を失へり
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
此わが主の僕いかでか此わが主と語ふことを得んとその時は我まつたく力を失ひて氣息も止らんばかりなりしが
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
人の形のごとき者ふたたび我に捫り我に力をつけて
19 He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
言けるは愛せらるる人よ懼るる勿れ安んぜよ心強かれ心強かれと斯われに言ければ我力づきて曰り我主よ語りたまへ汝われに力をつけたまへりと
20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
彼われに言けるは汝は我が何のために汝に臨めるかを知るや我今また歸りゆきてペルシヤの君と戰はんとす我が出行ん後にギリシヤの君きたらん
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
但し我まづ眞實の書に記されたる所を汝に示すべし我を助けて彼らに敵る者は汝らの君ミカエルのみ
