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 Belshazzar the king, a vision hath appeared unto me — I Daniel — after that which had appeared unto me at the beginning.
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 see in a vision, and it cometh to pass, in my seeing, and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream 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
And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain ram is standing before the stream, and it hath two horns, and the two horns [are] high; and the one [is] higher than the other, and the high one is coming 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 have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no living creatures do stand before it, and there is none delivering out of its hand, and it hath done according to its pleasure, and hath exerted itself.
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
'And I have been considering, and lo, a young he-goat hath come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as to the young he-goat, a conspicuous horn [is] between its 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
And it cometh unto the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runneth unto it in the fury of its 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
And I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becometh embittered at it, and smiteth the ram, and breaketh its two horns, and there hath been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casteth it to the earth, and trampleth it down, and there hath been no deliverer to the ram out of its 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
'And the young he-goat hath exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, broken hath been the great horn; and come up doth a vision of four in its place, at the four winds of the heavens.
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
And from the one of them come forth hath a little horn, and it exerteth itself greatly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous [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
yea, it exerteth unto the host of the heavens, and causeth to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and trampleth them down.
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 unto the prince of the host it exerteth itself, and by it taken away hath been the continual [sacrifice], and thrown down the base of his sanctuary.
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
And the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice], through transgression, and it throweth down truth to the earth, and it hath worked, and prospered.
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
'And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one saith to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Till when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make both sanctuary and host a treading down?
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
And he saith unto me, Till evening — morning two thousand and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right.
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
'And it cometh to pass in my seeing — I, Daniel — the vision, that I require understanding, and lo, standing over-against me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one.
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
And I hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and he calleth and saith: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand the appearance.
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
And he cometh in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he saith unto me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] the vision.
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
And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he cometh against me, and causeth me to stand on my station,
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
and saith: Lo, I — I am causing thee to know that which is in the latter end of the indignation; for, at the appointed time [is] 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 that thou hast seen possessing two horns, [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
And the young he-goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its 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
and that being broken, stand up do four in its place, four kingdoms from the nation do stand up, and not in its 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
'And in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, stand up doth a king, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things;
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
and his power hath been mighty, and not by his own power; and wonderful things he destroyeth, and he hath prospered, and wrought, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the Holy Ones.
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
'And by his understanding he hath also caused deceit to prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerteth himself, and by ease he destroyeth many; and against the prince of princes he standeth — and without hand he is broken.
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
And the appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and thou, hide thou the vision, for [it is] after many days.'
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
And I, Daniel, have been, yea, I became sick [for] days, and I rise, and do the king's work, and am astonished at the appearance, and there is none understanding.
