ダニエル書 10
1 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
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 當時我ダニエル三七日の間哀めり
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 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
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 正月の二十四日に我ヒデケルといふ大河の邊に在り
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
5 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
Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
6 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
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 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
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 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
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 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
Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 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
And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
11 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
And he said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright: for to you am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 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
Then said he to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to chasten yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I am come for your words.
13 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
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, see, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14 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
Now I am come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
15 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
And when he had spoken such words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16 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
And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned on me, and I have retained no strength.
17 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
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
18 人の形のごとき者ふたたび我に捫り我に力をつけて
Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19 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
And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be to you, be strong, yes, be strong. And when he had spoken to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.
20 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
Then said he, Know you why I come to you? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, see, the prince of Grecia shall come.
21 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
But I will show you that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holds with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
