ダニエル書 12

1 その時汝の民の人々のために立ところの大なる君ミカエル起あがらん是艱難の時なり國ありてより以來その時にいたるまで斯る艱難ありし事なかるべしその時汝の民は救はれん即ち書にしるされたる者はみな救はれん

'And at that time stand up doth Michael, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of thy people, and there hath been a time of distress, such as hath not been since there hath been a nation till that time, and at that time do thy people escape, every one who is found written in the book.

2 また地の下に睡りをる者の中衆多の者目を醒さんその中永生を得る者ありまた恥辱を蒙りて限なく羞る者あるべし

'And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches — to abhorrence age-during.

3 穎悟者は空の光輝のごとくに耀かんまた衆多の人を義に導ける者は星のごとくなりて永遠にいたらん

And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.

4 ダニエルよ終末の時まで此言を秘し此書を封じおけ衆多の者跋渉らん而して知識増べしと

And thou, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the book till the time of the end, many do go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.'

5 茲に我ダニエル觀に別にまた二箇の者ありて一箇は河の此旁の岸にあり一箇は河の彼旁の岸にありけるが

And I have looked — I, Daniel — and lo, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood, and one there at the edge of the flood,

6 その一箇の者かの布の衣を衣て河の水の上に立る人にむかひて言り此奇跡は何の時にいたりて終るべきやと

and he saith to the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the waters of the flood, 'Till when [is] the end of these wonders?'

7 我聞にかの布の衣を衣て河の水の上に立る人天にむかひてその右の手と左の手を擧げ永久に生る者を指て誓ひて言りその間は一時と二時と半時なり聖民の手の碎くること終らん時に是等の事みな終るべしと

And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the waters of the flood, and he doth lift up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sweareth by Him who is living to the age, that, 'After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, finished are all these.'

8 我聞たれども暁ることを得ざりき我また言りわが主よ是等の事の終は何ぞやと

And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, 'O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?'

9 彼いひけるはダニエルよ往け此言は終極の時まで秘しかつ封じ置るべし

And he saith, 'Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things till the time of the end;

10 衆多の者淨められ潔よくせられ試みられん然ど惡き者は惡き事を行はん惡き者は一人も暁ること無るべし然ど頴悟者は暁るべし

Purify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea, refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do understand;

11 常供の者を除き殘暴可惡者を立ん時よりして一千二百九十日あらん

and from the time of the turning aside of the perpetual [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety.

12 待をりて一千三百三十五日に至る者は幸福なり

O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five.

13 汝終りに進み行け汝は安息に入り日の終りに至り起て汝の分を享ん

And thou, go on to the end, then thou dost rest, and dost stand in thy lot at the end of the days.'
