ダニエル書 3
1 茲にネブカデネザル王 一箇の金の像を造れりその高は六十キユビトその横の廣は六キユビトなりき即ちこれをバビロン州のドラの平野に立たり
Nebuchad-nezzar the King made an image of gold, whose height was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof sixe cubites: hee set it vp in the plaine of Dura, in the prouince of Babel.
2 而してネブカデネザル王は州牧將軍方伯刑官庫官法官士師および州郡の諸有司を召集めそのネブカデネザル王の立たる像の告成禮に臨ましめんとせり
Then Nebuchad-nezzar ye King sent foorth to gather together the nobles, the princes and the dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces, that they should come to the dedication of the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
3 是においてその州牧將軍方伯刑官庫官法官士師および州郡の諸有司等はネブカデネザル王の立たる像の告成禮に臨みそのネブカデネザル王の立たる像の前に立り
So the nobles, princes and dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces were assembled vnto the dedicating of the image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp: and they stood before the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar had set vp.
4 時に傳令者大聲に呼はりて言ふ諸民諸族諸音よ汝らは斯命ぜらる
Then an herald cried aloude, Be it knowen to you, O people, nations, and languages,
5 汝ら喇叭簫琵琶琴瑟篳篥などの諸の樂器の音を聞く時は俯伏しネブカデネザル王の立たまへる金像を拝すべし
That when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, ye fall downe and worship the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King hath set vp,
6 凡て俯伏て拝せざる者は即時に火の燃る爐の中に投こまるべしと
And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middes of an hote fierie fornace.
7 是をもて諸民等喇叭簫琵琶琴瑟などの諸の樂器の音を聞くや直に諸民諸族諸音みな俯伏しネブカデネザル王の立たる金像を拝したり
Therefore assoone as all the people heard the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and all instruments of musike, all the people, nations, and languages fell downe, and worshipped the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
8 その時或カルデヤ人等進みきたりてユダヤ人を讒奏せり
By reason whereof at that same time came men of the Caldeans, and grieuously accused the Iewes.
9 即ち彼らネブカデネザル王に奏聞して言ふ願くは王長壽かれ
For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer.
10 王よ汝は命を出して宣へり凡て喇叭簫琵琶琴瑟篳篥などの諸の樂器の音を聞く者はみな俯伏しこの金像を拝すべし
Thou, O King, hast made a decree, that euery man that shall heare the sounde of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, shall fall downe and worship the golden image,
11 凡て俯伏し拝せざる者はみな火の燃る爐の中に投こまるべしと
And whosoeuer falleth not downe, and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the mids of an hote fierie fornace.
12 此に汝が立てバビロン州の事務を司どらせ給へるユダヤ人シヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベデネゴあり王よ此人々は汝を尊ばず汝の神々にも事へず汝の立たまへる金像をも拝せざるなりと
There are certeine Iewes whome thou hast set ouer the charge of ye prouince of Babel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: these men, O King, haue not regarded thy commandement, neither wil they serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, that thou hast set vp.
13 是においてネブカデネザル怒りかつ憤りてシヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベデネゴを召寄よと命じければ即ちこの人々を王の前に引きたりしに
Then Nebuchad-nezzar in his anger and wrath commanded that they should bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: so these men were brought before the King.
14 ネブカデネザルかれらに問て言けるはジヤデラク、メシヤク、アベデネゴよ汝ら我神に事へずまた我が立たる金像を拝せざるは是故意にするなるか
And Nebuchad-nezzar spake, and said vnto them, What disorder? will not you, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego serue my god, nor worship the golden image, that I haue set vp?
15 汝らもし何の時にもあれ喇叭簫琵琶琴瑟篳篥などの諸の樂器の音を聞く時に俯伏し我が造れる像を拝することを爲ば可し然ど汝らもし拝することをせずば即時に火の燃る爐の中に投こまるべし何の神か能く汝らをわが手より救ひいだすことをせん
Now therefore are ye ready when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, to fall downe, and worship the image, which I haue made? for if ye worship it not, ye shall be cast immediatly into the middes of an hote fierie fornace: for who is that God, that can deliuer you out of mine handes?
16 シヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベデネゴ對へて王に言けるはネブカデネザルよこの事においては我ら汝に答ふるに及ばず
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the King, O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee in this matter.
17 もし善らんには王よ我らの事ふる我らの神我らを救ふの能あり彼その火の燃る爐の中と汝の手の中より我らを救ひいださん
Beholde, our God whom we serue, is able to deliuer vs from the hote fierie fornace, and hee will deliuer vs out of thine hand, O King.
18 假令しからざるも王よ知たまへ我らは汝の神々に事へずまた汝の立たる金像を拝せじ
But if not, bee it knowen to thee, O King, that wee will not serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, which thou hast set vp.
19 是においてネブカデネザル怒氣を充しシヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベデネゴにむかひてその面の容を變へ即ち爐を常に熱くするよりも七倍熱くせよと命じ
Then was Nebuchad-nezzar full of rage, and the forme of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore hee charged and commanded that they should heate the fornace at once seuen times more then it was wont to be heat.
20 またその軍勢の中の力強き人々を喚てシヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベデネゴを縛りてこれを火の燃る爐の中に投こめと命じたり
And hee charged the most valiant men of warre that were in his armie, to binde Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the hote fierie fornace.
21 是をもて此人々はその褲子羽織外套およびその他の服装を着たるままにて縛られて火の燃る爐の中に投こまれたりしが
So these men were bounde in their coates, their hosen, and their clokes, with their other garments, and cast into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
22 王の命はなはだ急にして爐は甚だしく熱しゐたれば彼のシヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベデネゴを引抱へゆける者等はその火焔に燒ころされたり
Therefore, because the Kings commandement was straite, that the fornace should be exceeding hote, the flame of the fire slew those men that brought foorth Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
23 また此シヤデラク、メシヤク、デベデネゴの三人は縛られたるままにて燃る爐の中に落いりぬ
And these three men Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego fell downe bound into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
24 時にネブカデネザル王驚きて急忙しくたちあがり大臣等に言ふ我らは三人を縛りて火の中に投いれざりしや彼ら王にこたへて言ふ王よ然りと
Then Nebuchad-nezzar the King was astonied and rose vp in haste, and spake, and saide vnto his counsellers, Did not wee cast three men bound into the middes of the fire? Who answered and said vnto the King, It is true, O King.
25 王また應へて言ふ今我見るに四人の者縲絏解て火の中に歩みをり凡て何の害をも受ずまたその第四の者の容は神の子のごとしと
And he answered, and said, Loe, I see foure men loose, walking in the middes of the fire, and they haue no hurt, and the forme of the fourth is like the sonne of God.
26 ネブカデネザルすなはちその火の燃る爐の口に進みよりて呼て言ふ至高神の僕シヤデラク、メシヤク、アベデネゴよ汝ら出きたれと是においてシヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベデネゴその火の中より出きたりしかば
Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar came neere to the mouth of the hote fierie fornace, and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the seruants of the hie God goe foorth and come hither: so Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came foorth of the middes of the fire.
27 州牧將軍方伯および王の大臣等集りて比人々を見たり此人々の身は火もこれを害する力なかりきまたその頭の髮は燒けずその衣裳は傷ねず火の臭氣もこれに付ざりき
Then the nobles, princes and dukes, and the Kings counsellers came together to see these men, because the fire had no power ouer their bodies: for not an heare of their head was burnt, neither was their coates changed, nor any smelll of fire came vpon them.
28 ネブカデネザルすなはち宣て曰くシヤデラク、メシヤク、アベデネゴの神は讃べき哉彼その使者を遣りて己を賴む僕を救へりまた彼らは自己の神の外には何の神にも事へずまた拝せざらんとて王の命をも用ひず自己の身をも捨んとせり
Wherefore Nebuchad-nezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who hath sent his Angel, and deliuered his seruants, that put their trust in him, and haue changed the Kings commandement, and yeelded their bodies rather then they would serue or worship any god, saue their owne God.
29 然ば我今命を下す諸民諸族諸音の中凡てシヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベダネゴの神を詈る者あらばその身は切裂れその家は厠にせられん其は是のごとくに救を施す神他にあらざればなりと
Therefore I make a decree, that euery people, nation, and language, which speake any blasphemie against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, shalbe drawen in pieces, and their houses shall be made a iakes, because there is no god that can deliuer after this sort.
30 かくて王またシヤデラク、メシヤクおよびアベデネゴの位をすすめてバビロン州にをらしむ
Then the King promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the prouince of Babel.
