Daniel 6
1 It pleside Darius, and he ordeynede sixe score duykis ouer the rewme, that thei schulden be in al his rewme.
ダリヨスはその國に百二十人の牧伯を立ることを善とし即ちこれを立て全國を治理しめ
2 And ouer hem he ordeynede thre princes, of whiche Danyel was oon; that the duykis schulden yelde resoun to hem, and that the kyng schulde not suffre ony disese.
また彼らの上に監督三人を立たりダニエルはその一人なりき是その州牧をして此三人の前にその職を述しめて王に損失の及ぶこと無らしめんためなりき
3 Therfor Danyel ouercam alle the princes and duikis, for more spirit of God was in hym.
ダニエルは心の殊勝たる者にしてその他の監督および州牧等に勝りたれば王かれを立て全國を治めしめんとせり
4 Certis the kyng thouyte to ordeyne hym on al the rewme. Wherfor princes and duikis souyten to fynde occasioun to Danyel, of the side of the kyng; and thei miyten fynde no cause and suspicioun, for he was feithful, and no blame and suspicioun was foundun in hym.
是においてその監督と州牧等國事につきてダエルを訟ふる隙を得んとしたりしが何の隙をも何の咎をも見いだすことを得ざりき其は彼は忠義なる者にてその身に何の咎もなく何の過失もなかりければなり
5 Therfor tho men seiden, We schulen not fynde ony occasioun to this Danyel, no but in hap in the lawe of his God.
是においてその人々言けるはこのダニエルはその神の例典について之が隙を獲にあらざればついにこれを訟るに由なしと
6 Thanne the princes and duykis maden fals suggestioun to the kyng, and spaken thus to hym, Kyng Darius, lyue thou with onten ende.
すなはちその監督と州牧等王の許に集り來りて斯王に言りダリヨス王よ願くは長壽かれ
7 Alle the princes of thi rewme, and magistratis, and duykis, senatours, and iugis, han maad a counsel, that a decree and comaundement of the emperour go out, that ech man that axith ony axyng of what euer god and man, til to thretti daies, no but of thee, thou kyng, he be sent in to the lake of liouns.
國の監督將軍州牧牧伯方伯等みな相議りて王に一の律法を立て一の禁令を定めたまはんことを求めんとす王よその事は是の如し即ち今より三十日の内は唯汝にのみ願事をなさしめ若汝をおきて神または人にこれをなす者あらば凡て獅子の穴に投いれんといふ是なり
8 Now therfor, kyng, conferme thou the sentence, and write thou the decree, that this that is ordeyned of Medeis and Perseis be not chaungid, nethir be it leueful to ony man to breke.
然ば王よねがはくはその禁令を立てその詔書を認めメデアとペルシヤの廢ることなき律法のごとくに之をして變らざらしめたまへと
9 Forsothe Darius, the kyng, settide forth, and confermyde the decree.
王すなはち詔書をしたためてその禁令を出せり
10 And whanne Danyel hadde founde this thing, that is, the lawe ordeyned, he entride in to his hous; and the while the wyndows weren open in his soler ayens Jerusalem, in thre tymes in the dai he bowide hise knees, and worschipide, and knoulechide bifore his God, as he was wont to do bifore.
茲にダニエルはその詔書を認めたることを知りて家にかへりけるがその二階の窓のヱルサレムにむかひて開ける處にて一日に三度づつ膝をかがめて祷りその神に向て感謝せり是その時の前よりして斯なし居たればなり
11 Therfor tho men enqueriden ful bisili, and founden Danyel preiynge, and bisechynge his God.
斯りしかばその人々馳よりてダニエルがその神にむかひて祷りかつ求めをるを見あらはせり
12 And thei neiyiden and spaken to the kyng of the comaundement, Kyng, whether thou ordeynedist not, that ech man that axide ony of goddis and of men, til to thretti daies, no but thee, thou kyng, he schulde be sent in to the lake of liouns? To whiche men the kyng answeride, and seide, The word is soth, bi the decree of Medeis and Perseis, which it is not leueful to breke.
而して彼ら進みきたり王の禁令の事につきて王に奏上して言けるは王よ汝は禁令をしたため出し今より三十日の内には只なんぢにのみ願事をなさしめ若し汝をおきて神または人にこれをなす者あらば凡てその者を獅子の穴に投いれんと定めたまへるならずやと王こたへて言ふ其事は眞實にしてメデアとペルシヤの律法のごとく廢べからざる者なり
13 Thanne thei answeriden, and seiden bifore the kyng, Danyel, of the sones of caitifte of Juda, reckide not of thi lawe, and of the comaundement, which thou ordeynedist, but thre tymes bi the dai he preieth in his bisechyng.
彼らまた對へて王の前に言けるは王よユダの俘擄人なるダニエルは汝をも汝の認め出し給ひし禁令をも顧みずして一日に三度づつ祈祷をなすなりと
14 And whanne the kyng hadde herd this word, he was sori ynow, and he settide the herte for Danyel, for to do delyuere hym; and til to the goyng doun of the sunne he trauelide for to do delyuere hym.
王この事を聞てこれがために大に愁ひダニエルを救はんと心を用ひ即ちこれを拯けんと力をつくして日の入る頃におよびければ
15 But tho men vndurstoden the kyng, and seiden to hym, Wite thou, kyng, that it is the lawe of Medeis and of Perseis, that it is not leueful that ony decree be chaungid,
その人々また王の許に集ひきたりて王に言けるは王よ知りたまへメデアとペルシヤの律法によれば王の立たる禁令または法度は變べからざる者なりと
16 which the kyng ordeyneth. Thanne the kyng comaundide, and thei brouyten Danyel, and senten hym in to the lake of liouns. And the kyng seide to Danyel, Thi God, whom thou worschipist euere, he schal delyuere thee.
是において王命を下しければダニエルを曳きたりて獅子の穴に投いれたり王ダニエルに語りて言ふ願くは汝が恒に事ふる神汝を救はんことをと
17 And o stoon was brouyt, and was put on the mouth of the lake, which the kyng aselide with his ryng, and with the ryng of hise beste men, lest ony thing were don ayens Danyel.
時に石を持きたりてその穴の口を塞ぎければ王おのれの印と大臣等の印をもてこれに封印をなせり是ダニエルの處置をして變ることなからしめんためなりき
18 Thanne the kyng yede in to his hous, and slepte with out soper, and metis weren not brouyte bifore hym; ferthermore and sleep yede awei fro hym.
斯て後王はその宮にかへりけるがその夜は食をなさずまた嬪等を召よせずして全く寝ることをせざりき
19 Thanne the kyng roos in the firste morewtid, and yede hastili to the lake of liouns;
而して王は朝まだきに起いでてその獅子の穴に急ぎいたりしが
20 and he neiyide to the lake, and criede on Danyel with wepynge vois, and spak to hym, Danyel, the seruaunt of God lyuynge, gessist thou, whether thi God, whom thou seruest euere, miyte delyuere thee fro liouns?
穴にいたりける時哀しげなる聲をあげてダニエルを呼りすなはち王ダニエルに言けるは活神の僕ダニエルよ汝が恒に事ふる神汝を救ふて獅子の害を免れしむることを得しや
21 And Danyel answeride the kyng, and seide, King, lyue thou with outen ende.
ダニエル王にいひけるは願くは王長壽かれ
22 My God sente his aungel, and closide togidere the mouthis of liouns, and tho noieden not me, for riytfulnesse is foundun in me bifore hym; but also, thou kyng, Y dide no trespas bifore thee.
吾神その使をおくりて獅子の口を閉させたまひたれば獅子は我を害せざりき其は我の辜なき事かれの前に明かなればなり王よ我は汝にも惡しき事をなさざりしなりと
23 Thanne the kyng made ioie greetli on hym, and comaundide Danyel to be led out of the lake. And Danyel was led out of the lake, and noon hirtyng was foundun in hym, for he bileuede to his God.
是において王おほいに喜びダニエルを穴の中より出せと命じければダニルは穴の中より出されけるがその身に何の害をも受をらざりき是は彼おのれの神を賴みたるによりてなり
24 Forsothe the kyng comaundide, tho men, that accusiden Danyel, weren brouyt, and weren sent in to the lake of liouns, thei, and the sones of hem, and the wyues of hem; and thei camen not `til to the pawment of the lake, til the liouns rauyschiden hem, and al to-braken alle the boonys of hem.
かくて王また命を下しかのダニエルを讒奏せし者等を曳きたらせて之をその妻子とともに獅子の穴に投いれしめたるにその穴の底につかざる内に獅子はやくも彼らを攫みてその骨までもことごとく咬碎けり
25 Thanne Darius, the kyng, wroot to alle puplis, lynagis, and langagis, dwellynge in al erthe, Pees be multiplied to you.
是においてダリヨス王全世界に住る諸民諸族諸音に詔書を頒てり云く願くは大なる平安なんぢらにあれ
26 Therfor a decree is ordeyned of me, that in al myn empire and rewme men tremble, and drede the God of Danyel; for he is God lyuynge, and euerlastynge in to worldis, and his rewme schal not be distried, and his power is `til in to with outen ende.
今我詔命を出す我國の各州の人みなダニエルの神を畏れ敬ふべし是は活神にして永遠に立つ者またその國は亡びずその權は終極まで続くなり
27 He is delyuerer and sauyour, makynge myraclis and merueils in heuene and in erthe, which delyuerede Danyel fro the lake of liouns.
是は救を施し拯をなし天においても地においても休徴をほどこし奇蹟をおこなふ者にてすなはちダニエルを救ひて獅子の力を免れしめたりと
28 Certis Danyel dwellide stabli `til to the rewme of Darius, and `til to the rewme of Sirus of Persey.
このダニエルはダリヨスの世とペルシヤ人クロスの世においてその身榮えたり
