< ダニエル書 9 >
1 メデア人アハシユエロスの子ダリヨスがカルデヤ人の王とせられしその元年
In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans:
2 すなはちその世の元年に我ダニエル、ヱホバの言の預言者ヱレミヤにのぞみて告たるその年の數を書によりて暁れり即ちその言にヱルサレムは荒て七十年を經んとあり
The first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, that seventy years should be accomplished of the desolation of Jerusalem.
3 是にかいて我面を主ヱホバに向け斷食をなし麻の衣を着灰を蒙り祈りかつ願ひて求むることをせり
And I set my face to the Lord my God, to pray and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4 即ち我わが神ヱホバに祷り懺悔して言り嗚呼大にして畏るべき神なる主自己を愛し自己の誡命を守る者のために契約を保ち之に恩惠を施したまふ者よ
And I prayed to the Lord my God, and I made my confession, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord God, great and terrible, who keepest the covenant, and mercy to them that love thee, and keep thy commandments.
5 我等は罪を犯し悖れる事を爲し惡を行ひ叛逆を爲して汝の誡命と律法を離れたり
We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly, and have revolted: and we have gone aside from thy commandments, and thy judgments.
6 我等はまた汝の僕なる預言者等が汝の名をもて我らの王等君等先祖等および全國の民に告たる所に聽したがはざりしなり
We have not hearkened to thy servants the prophets, that have spoken in thy name to our kings, to our princes, to our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 主よ公義は汝に歸し羞辱は我らに歸せりその状今日のごとし即ちユダの人々ヱルサレムの居民およびイスラエルの全家の者は近き者も遠き者も皆汝の逐やりたまひし諸の國々にて羞辱を蒙れり是は彼らが汝に背きて獲たる罪によりて然るなり
To thee, O Lord, justice: but to us confusion of face, as at this day to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel to them that are near, and to them that are far off in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, for their iniquities by which they have sinned against thee.
8 主よ羞辱は我儕に歸し我らの王等君等および先祖等に歸す是は我儕なんぢに向ひて罪を犯したればなり
O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our princes, and to our fathers that have sinned.
9 憐憫と赦宥は主たる我らの神の裏にあり其は我らこれに叛きたればなり
But to thee, the Lord our God, mercy and forgiveness, for we have departed from thee:
10 我らはまた我らの神ヱホバの言に遵はずヱホバがその僕なる預言者等によりて我らの前に設けたまひし律法を行はざりしなり
And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his law, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 抑イスラエルの人は皆汝の律法を犯し離れさりて汝の言に遵はざりき是をもて神の僕モーセの律法に記したる呪詛と誓詞我らの上に斟ぎかかれり是は我らこれに罪を獲たればなり
And all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have turned away from hearing thy voice, and the malediction, and the curse, which is written in the book of Moses the servant of God, is fallen upon us, because we have sinned against him.
12 即ち神は大なる災害を我らに蒙らせたまひてその前に我らと我らを鞫ける士師とにむかひて宣ひし言を行ひとげたまへりかのエルサレムに臨みたる事の如きは普天の下に未だ曾て有ざりしなり
And he hath confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our princes that judged us, that he would bring in upon us a great evil, such as never was under all the heaven, according to that which hath been done in Jerusalem.
13 モーセの律法に記したる如くにこの災害すべて我らに臨みしかども我らはその神ヱホバの面を和めんとも爲ずその惡を離れて汝の眞理を暁らんとも爲ざりき
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: and we entreated not thy face, O Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and think on thy truth.
14 是をもてヱホバ心にかけて災害を我らに降したまへり我らの神ヱホバは何事をなしたまふも凡て公義いますなり然るに我らはその言に遵はざりき
And the Lord hath watched upon the evil, and hath brought it upon us: the Lord our God is just in all his works which he hath done: for we have not hearkened to his voice.
15 主たる我らの神よ汝は強き手をもて汝の民をエジプトの地より導き出して今日のごとく汝の名を揚たまふ我らは罪を犯し惡き事を行へり
And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thee a name as at this day: we have sinned, we have committed iniquity,
16 主よ願くは汝が是まで公義き御行爲を爲たまひし如く汝の邑ヱルサレム汝の聖山より汝の忿怒と憤恨を取離し給へ其は我らの罪と我らの先祖の惡のためにヱルサレムと汝の民は我らの周圍の者の笑柄となりたればなり
O Lord, against all thy justice: let thy wrath and thy indignation be turned away, I beseech thee, from thy city Jerusalem, and from thy holy mountain. For by reason of our sins, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem, and thy people are a reproach to all that are round about us.
17 然ば我らの神よ僕の祷と願を聽たまへ汝は主にいませばかの荒をる汝の聖所に汝の面を耀かせたまへ
Now therefore, O our God, hear the supplication of thy servant, and his prayers: and shew thy face upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for thy own sake.
18 我神よ耳を傾けて聽たまへ目を啓きて我らの荒蕪たる状を觀汝の名をもて稱へらるる邑を觀たまへ我らが汝の前に祈祷をたてまつるは自己の公義によるに非ず唯なんぢの大なる憐憫によるなり
Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear: open thy eyes, and see our desolation, and the city upon which thy name is called: for it is not for our justifications that we present our prayers before thy face, but for the multitude of thy tender mercies.
19 主よ聽いれたまへ主よ赦したまへ主よ聽いれて行ひたまへこの事を遅くしたまふなかれわが神よ汝みづからのために之をなしたまへ其は汝の邑と汝の民は汝の名をもて稱へらるればなり
O Lord, hear: O Lord, be appeased: hearken and do: delay not for thy own sake, O my God: because thy name is invocated upon thy city, and upon thy people.
20 我かく言て祈りかつわが罪とわが民イスラエルの罪を懺悔し我神の聖山の事につきてわが神ヱホバのまへに願をたてまつりをる時
Now while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people of Israel, and presenting my supplications in the sight of my God, for the holy mountain of my God:
21 即ち我祈祷の言をのべをる時我が初に異象の中に見たるかの人ガブリエル迅速に飛て晩の祭物を献ぐる頃我許に達し
As I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 我に告げ我に語りて言けるはダニエルよ今我なんぢを敎へて了解を得せしめんとて出きたれり
And he instructed me, and spoke to me, and said: O Daniel, I am now come forth to teach thee, and that thou mightest understand.
23 汝が祈祷を始むるに方りて我言を受たれば之を汝に示さんとて來れり汝は大に愛せらるる者なり此言を了りその現れたる事の義を暁れ
From the beginning of thy prayers the word came forth: and I am come to shew it to thee, because thou art a man of desires: therefore do thou mark the word, and understand the vision.
24 汝の民と汝の聖邑のために七十週を定めおかる而して惡を抑へ罪を封じ愆を贖ひ永遠の義を携へ入り異象と預言を封じ至聖者に膏を灌がん
Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the saint of saints may be anointed.
25 汝暁り知べしヱルサレムを建なほせといふ命令の出づるよりメッシヤたる君の起るまでに七週と六十二週ありその街と石垣とは擾亂の間に建なほされん
Know thou therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls in straitness of times.
26 その六十二週の後にメッシャ絶れん但し是は自己のために非ざるなりまた一人の君の民きたりて邑と聖所とを毀たんその終は洪水に由れる如くなるべし戰爭の終るまでに荒蕪すでに極る
And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation.
27 彼一週の間衆多の者と固く契約を結ばん而して彼その週の半に犠牲と供物を廢せんまた殘暴可惡者羽翼の上に立たん斯てつひにその定まれる災害殘暴るる者の上に斟ぎくだらん
And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week: and in the half of the week the victim and the sacrifice shall fall: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation: and the desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end.
