ダニエル書 8
1 我ダニエル前に異象を得たりしが後またベルシヤザルの第三年にいたりて異象を得たり
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.
2 我異象を見たり我これを見たる時に吾身はエラム州なるシユシヤンの城にあり我が異象を見たるはウライ河の邊においてなりき
And I saw in the vision, and when I looked, I was in the citadel of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
3 我目を擧て觀しに河の上に一匹の牡羊立をり之に二の角ありてその角共に長かりしが一の角はその他の角よりも長かりきその長き者は後に長たるなり
Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one came up last.
4 我觀しにその牡羊西北南にむかひて牴觸りけるが之に敵ることを得る獣一匹も無くまたその手より救ひいだすことを得る者絶てあらざりき是はその意にまかせて事をなしその勢威はなはだ盛なりき
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will, and became great.
5 我これを考へ見つつありけるにて一匹の牡山羊全地の上を飛わたりて西より來りしがその足は土を履ざりきこの牡山羊は目の間に著明しき一の角ありき
As I was considering, look, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a prominent horn between his eyes.
6 此者さきに我が河の上に立るを見たる彼の二の角ある牡羊に向ひ來り熾盛なる力をもて之の所に跑いたりけるが
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and rushed at him in the fury of his power.
7 我觀てあるに牡羊に近づくに至りて之にむかひて怒を發し牡羊を撃てその二の角を碎きたるに牡羊には之に敵る力なかりければこれを地に打倒して踏つけたり然るにその牡羊をこれが手より救ひ得る者あらざりき
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he threw him down to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one who could deliver the ram from his power.
8 而してその牡山羊甚だ大きくなりけるがその盛なる時にあたりてかの大なる角折れその代に四の著明しき角生じて天の四方に對へり
The male goat became very strong. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four prominent horns toward the four winds of heaven.
9 またその角の一よりして一の小き角いできたり南にむかひ東にむかひ美地にむかひて甚だ大きくなり
Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
10 天軍におよぶまでに高くなりその軍と星數箇を地に投くだしてこれを踏つけ
It grew so great that it reached to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
11 また自ら高ぶりてその軍の主に敵しその常供の物を取のぞきかつその聖所を毀てり
And it magnified itself, even against the Prince of the host; and it took away from him the daily sacrifice, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.
12 一軍罪の故によりて常供の物とともに棄られたり彼者はまた眞理を地に擲ち事をなしてその意志を得たり
The host was given over to it together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and kept prospering.
13 かくて我聞に一箇の聖者語ひをりしが又一箇の聖者ありてその語ひをる聖者にむかひて言ふ常供の物と荒廢を來らする罪とにつきて異象にあらはれたるところの事聖所とその軍との棄られて踏つけらるる事は何時まで斯てあるべきかと
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?"
14 彼すなはち我に言けるは二千三百の朝夕をかさぬるまで斯てあらん而して聖所は潔めらるべし
He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."
15 我ダニエルこの異象を見てその意義を知んと求めをりける時人のごとく見ゆる者わが前に立り
It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And look, there stood before me someone who appeared to be a man.
16 時に我聞にウライ河の兩岸の間より人の聲出て呼はりて言ふガブリエルよこの異象をその人に暁らしめよと
I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."
17 彼すなはち我の立る所にきたりしがその到れる時に我おそれて仆れ伏たるに彼われに言けるは人の子よ暁れ此異象は終の時にかかはる者なりと
So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs to the time of the end."
18 彼の我に語ひける時我は氣を喪へる状にて地に俯伏をりしが彼我に手をつけて我を立せ言けるは
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.
19 視よ我忿怒の終に起らんところの事を汝に知せん此事は終末の期におよびてあらん
He said, "Look, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 汝が見たるかの二の角ある牡羊はメデアとペルシヤの王なり
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 またかの牡山羊はギリシヤの王その目の間の大なる角はその第一の王なり
The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 またその角をれてその代に四の角生じたればその民よりして四の國おこらん然ど第一の者の權勢には及ばざるなり
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his nation, but not with his power.
23 彼らの國の末にいたり罪人の罪貫盈におよびて一人の王おこらんその顔は猛惡にして巧に詭譎を言ひ
In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.
24 その權勢は熾盛ならん但し自己の能力をもて之を致すに非ずその毀滅ことを爲は常ならず意志を得て事を爲し權能ある者等と聖民とを滅さん
His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 彼は機巧をもて詭譎をその手に行ひ遂げ心にみづから高ぶり平和の時に衆多の人を打滅しまた君の君たる者に敵せん然ど終には人手によらずして滅されん
Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.
26 前に告たる朝夕の異象は眞實なり汝その異象の事を秘しおけ是は衆多の日の後に有べき事なり
The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."
27 是において我ダニエル疲れはてて數日の間病わづらひて後興いでて王の事務をおこなへり我はこの異象の事を案ひて駭けり人もまたこれを暁ることを得ざりき
I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.
