ネブカデネザル王全世界に住める諸民諸族諸音に諭す願くは大なる平安汝らにあれ
2 Hiy God made at me myraclis and merueils;
至高神我にむかひて徴證と奇蹟を行へり我これを知しむることを善と思ふ
3 therfor it pleside me to preche hise myraclis, for tho ben greet, and hise merueils, for tho ben stronge; and his rewme is an euerlastynge rewme, and his power is in generacioun and in to generacioun.
嗚呼大なるかなその徴證嗚呼盛なるかなその奇蹟その國は永遠の國その權は世々限なし
4 I, Nabugodonosor, was restful in myn hous, and flourynge in my paleis;
我ネブカデネザルわが家に安然に居りわが宮に榮え居れり
5 Y siy a dreem, that made me aferd; and my thouytis in my bed, and the siytis of myn heed disturbliden me.
我一の夢を見て之がために懼れ即ち床にありてその事を想ひめぐらしその我脳中の異象のために心をなやませり
6 And a decre was set forth bi me, that alle the wise men of Babiloyne schulden be brouyt in bifor my siyt, and that thei schulden schewe to me the soilyng of the dreem.
是に於て我命を下しバビロンの智者をことごとく我前に召よせしめてその夢の解明を我にしめさせんと爲たれば
7 Than false dyuynours, astronomyens, Caldeis, and biholderis of auteris entriden; and Y telde the dreem in the siyt of hem, and thei schewiden not to me the soilyng therof, til the felowe in office,
すなはち博士法術士カルデヤ人卜筮師等きたりしに囚て我その夢を彼らに語りけるに彼らはその解明を我にしめすことを得ざりき
8 Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, bi the name of my God, entride in my siyt, which Danyel hath the spirit of hooli goddis in hym silf; and Y spak the dreem bifor hym.
かくて後ダニエルわが前に來れり彼の名は吾神の名にしたがひてベルテシヤザルと稱へられその裏には聖神の霊やどれり我その夢を彼の前に語りて曰けらく
9 Balthasar, prince of dyuynouris, whom Y knowe, that thou hast in thee the spirit of hooli goddis, and ech sacrament, ether preuytee, is not vnpossible to thee, telle thou to me the visiouns of my dreemes, whiche Y siy, and the soilyng of tho.
博士の長ベルテシヤザルよ我しる汝の裏には聖神の霊やどれば如何なる秘密も汝には難き事なし我が夢に見たるところの事等を聞きその解明を我に告げよ
10 This is the visioun of myn heed in my bed. Y siy, and lo! a tree was in the myddis of erthe, and the hiynesse therof was ful greet.
我が床にありて見たる吾脳中の異象は是のごとし我観しに地の當中に一の樹ありてその丈高かりしが
11 And the tree was greet and strong, and the heiythe therof touchide heuene, and the biholdynge therof was `til to the endis of al erthe.
その樹長じて強固なり天に達するほどの高となりて地の極までも見えわたり
12 The leeuys therof weren ful faire, and the fruyt therof was ful myche, and the mete of alle was in it; beestis and wielde beestis dwelliden vndur it, and briddis of the eir lyuyden in the braunchis therof, and ech man ete of it.
その葉は美しくその菓は饒にして一切の者その中より食を得また野の獣その蔭に臥し空の鳥その枝に棲み凡て血氣ある者みな是によりて身を畳ふ
13 Thus Y siy in the visioun of myn heed, on my bed. And lo! a wakere, and hooli man cam doun fro heuene,
我床にありて得たる脳中の異象の中に一箇の警寤者一箇の聖者の天より下るを見たりしが
14 and he criede strongli, and seide thus, Hewe ye doun the tree, and kitte ye doun the bowis therof, and schake ye awei the leeuys therof, and scatere ye abrood the fruytis therof; beestis fle awei, that be vndur it, and briddis fro the bowis therof.
彼聲高く呼はりて斯いへり此樹を伐たふしその枝を斫はなしその葉を揺おとしその果を打散し獣をしてその下より逃はしらせ鳥をしてその枝を飛さらしめよ
15 Netheles suffre ye the seed of rootis therof in erthe, and be he boondun with a boond of irun and of bras, in erbis that ben with out forth, and in the deew of heuene be he died, and his part be with wielde beestis in the erbe of erthe.
但しその根の上の斬株を地に遺しおき鉄と銅の索をかけて之を野の草の中にあらしめよ是は天よりくだる露に濕れまた地の草の中にて獣とその分を同じうせん
16 His herte be chaungid fro mannus herte, and the herte of a wielde beeste be youun to hym, and seuene tymes be chaungid on hym.
又その心は變りて人間の心のごとくならず獣の心を稟て七の時を經ん
17 In the sentence of wakeris it is demed, and it is the word and axyng of seyntis, til lyuynge men knowe, that hiy God is Lord in the rewme of men; and he schal yyue it to whom euere he wole, and he schal ordeyne on it the mekeste man.
この事は警寤者等の命によりこの事は聖者等の言による是至高者人間の國を治めて自己の意のままにこれを人に與ヘまた人の中の最も賤き者をその上に立たまふといふ事を一切の者に知しめんがためなり
18 Y, Nabugodonosor, the kyng, siy this dreem. Therfor thou, Balthasar, telle hastili the interpretyng, for alle the wise men of my rewme moun not seie to me the soilyng; but thou maist, for the spirit of hooli goddis is in thee.
我ネブカデネザル王この夢を見たりベルテシヤザルよ汝その解明を我に述よ我國の智者は執も皆その解明を我に示すことを得ざりしが汝は之を能せん其は汝の裏には聖神の霊やどればなりと
19 Thanne Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, began to thenke priueli with ynne hym silf, as in oon our, and hise thouytis disturbliden hym. Forsothe the kyng answeride, and seide, Balthasar, the dreem and the interpretyng therof disturble not thee. Balthasar answeride, and seide, My lord, the dreem be to hem that haten thee, and the interpretyng therof be to thin enemyes.
その時ダニエル又の名はベルタシヤザルとい者暫時の間驚き居り心に深く懼れたれば王これに告て言りベルテシヤザルよ汝この夢とその解明のために懼るるにおよばずとベルテシヤザルすなはち答へて言けらく我主よ願くはこの夢汝を惡む者の上にかからん事を願くは此解明汝の敵にのぞまんことを
20 The tree which thou siyest hiy and strong, whos heiythe stretchith `til to heuene, and the biholdyng therof in to ech lond,
汝が見たまひし樹すなはちその長じて強くなり天に達するほどの高となりて地の極までも見えわたり
21 and the faireste braunchis therof, and the fruyt therof ful myche, and the mete of alle in it, and beestis of the feeld dwellynge vndur it, and the briddis of the eir dwellynge in the boowis therof,
その葉は美しくその果は饒にして一切の者その中より食を得またその下に野の獣臥しその枝に空の鳥棲たる者
22 thou art, kyng, that art magnefied, and wexidist strong, and thi greetnesse encreesside, and cam `til to heuene, and thi power in to the endis of al erthe.
王よ是はすなはち汝なり汝は長じて強くなり汝の勢ひは盛にして天におよび汝の權は地の極にまでおよべり
23 Sotheli that the kyng siy a wakere and hooli come doun fro heuene, and seie, Hewe ye doun the tree, and distrie ye it, netheles leeue ye the seed of rootis therof in erthe, and be he boundun with irun and bras, in erbis with out forth, and be he bispreynt with the deew of heuene, and his mete be with wielde beestis, til seuene tymes be chaungid on hym;
王また一箇の警寤者一箇の聖者の天より下りて斯言ふを見たまへり云くこの樹を伐たふして之をそこなへ但し其根の上の斬株を地に遺しおき鉄と銅の索をかけて之を野の草の中にあらしめよ是は天より下る露に濡れ野の獣とその分を同じうして七の時を經ん
24 this is the interpretyng of the sentence of the hiyeste, which sentence is comun on my lord, the kyng.
王よその解明は是の如し是即ち至高者の命にして王我主に臨まんとする者なり
25 Thei schulen caste thee out fro men, and thi dwellyng schal be with beestys and wielde beestis, and thou schalt ete hey, as an oxe doith, but also thou schalt be bisched with the dew of heuene, also seuene tymes schulen be chaungid on thee, til thou knowe, that hiy God is Lord `on the rewme of men, and yyueth it to whom euer he wole.
即ち汝は逐れて世の人と離れ野の獣とともに居り牛のごとくに草を食ひ天よりくだる露に濡れん是の如くにして七の時を經て汝つひに知ん至高者人間の國を治めて自己の意のままに之を人に與へ給ふと
26 Forsothe that he comaundide, that the seed of rootis therof, that is, of the tree, schulde be left, thi rewme schal dwelle to thee, aftir that thou knowist that the power is of heuene.
又彼らその樹の根の上の斬株を遺しおけと言たれば汝の國は汝が天は主たりと知にいたる時まで汝を離れん
27 Wherfor, kyng, my counsel plese thee, and ayenbie thi synnes with almesdedis, and ayenbie thi wickidnessis with mercies of pore men; in hap God schal foryyue thi trespassis.
然ば王よ吾諌を容れ義をおこなひて罪を離れ貧者を憐みて惡を離れよ然らば汝の平安あるひは長く続かんと
28 Alle these thingis camen on Nabugodonosor, the kyng.
この事みなネブカデネザル王に臨めり
29 After the ende of twelue monethis he walkide in the halle of Babiloyne;
十二箇月を經て後王バビロンの王宮の上に歩みをり
30 and the kyng answeride, and seide, Whether this is not Babiloyne, the greet citee, which Y bildide in to the hous of rewme, in the miyt of my strengthe, and in the glorie of my fairnesse?
王すなはち語りて言ふ此大なるバビロンは我が大なる力をもて建て京城となし之をもてわが威光を耀かす者ならずや
31 Whanne the word was yit in the mouth of the kyng, a vois felle doun fro heuene, Nabugodonosor, kyng, it is seid to thee, Thi rewme is passid fro thee,
その言なほ王の口にある中に天より聲降りて言ふネブカデネザル王よ汝に告ぐ汝は國の位を失はん
32 and thei schulen caste thee out fro men, and thi dwellyng schal be with beestis and wielde beestis; thou schalt ete hey, as an oxe doith, and seuene tymes schulen be chaungid on thee, til thou knowe, that hiy God is Lord in the rewme of men, and yyueth it to whom euere he wole.
汝は逐れて世の人と離れ野の獣と共に居り牛のごとくに草を食はん斯の如くにして七の時を經て汝つひに知ん至高者人間の國を治めて己れの意のままにこれを人に與へたまふと
33 In the same our the word was fillid on Nabugodonosor, and he was cast out fro men, and he eet hey, as an oxe doith, and his bodi was colouryd with the deew of heuene, til hise heeris wexiden at the licnesse of eglis, and hise nailis as the nailis of briddis.
その時直にこの事ネブカデネザルに臨み彼は逐れて世の人に離れ牛のごとくに草を食ひてその身は天よりくだる露に濡れ終にその髪毛は鷲の羽のごとくになりその爪は鳥の爪のごとくになりぬ
34 Therfor after the ende of daies, Y, Nabugodonosor, reiside myn iyen to heuene, and my wit was yoldun to me; and Y blesside the hiyeste, and Y heriede, and glorifiede hym that lyueth with outen ende; for whi his power is euerlastynge power, and his rewme is in generacioun and in to generacioun.
斯てその日の満たる後我ネブカデネザル目をあげて天を望みしにわが分別性我に婦りたれば我至高者に感謝しその永遠に生る者を讃かつ崇めたり彼の御宇は永遠の御宇彼の國は世々かぎり無し
35 And alle the dwelleris of erthe ben arettid in to noyt at hym; for bi his wille he doith, bothe in the vertues of heuene, and in the dwelleris of erthe, and noon is, that ayenstondith his hond, and seith to hym, Whi didist thou so?
地上の居民は凡て無き者のごとし天の衆群にも地の居民にも彼はその意のままに事をなしたまふ誰も彼の手をおさへて汝なんぞ然するやと言ことを程る者なし
36 In that tyme my wit turnede ayen to me, and Y cam fulli to the onour and fairnesse of my rewme, and my figure turnede ayen to me; and my beste men and my magistratis souyten me, and Y was set in my rewme, and my greet doyng was encreessid grettir to me.
この時わが分別性かく我に歸りたりしがわが國の榮光につきてはまた我の尊厳と光耀我にかへれり且また大臣牧伯等我に請求めて我たたび國の祚を践み前よりも著しく威光を増たり
37 Now therfor Y Nabugodonosor herie, and magnefie, and glorifie the kyng of heuene; for alle hise werkis ben trewe, and alle his weies ben domes; and he may make meke hem that goon in pride.
是において我ネブカデネザル今は天の王を讃頌へかつ崇む彼の作爲は凡て眞実彼の道は正義自ら高ぶる者は彼能くこれを卑くしたまふ
