< 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 Ahasuerus, of the race of the Medes, who became king over the realm of the Chaldaeans,
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
in the first year of his reign, I Daniel attentively considered in the Books the number of the years, concerning which the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem should remain in ruins till they were accomplished, namely, seventy years.
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 toward God, the Lord, and made prayers and supplications, 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 Jehovah, my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepeth the covenant and mercy to them that love him and keep his 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, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and thy statutes.
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
Neither have we hearkened to thy servants, the prophets, who spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and 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, belongeth righteousness, but to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to those that are near and to those that are far off through all the countries whither thou hast driven them because of their trespass which they have trespassed 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 kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
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
Yet with the Lord our God is mercy and forgiveness. For we have rebelled against him,
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 have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, 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
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, and turned away, so as not to obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, 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 fulfilled his word which he spake against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing great calamity upon us; for under the whole heaven hath it not been done as hath been done to 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 came upon us. For we made not our prayer to Jehovah our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and give heed to 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
Therefore hath Jehovah our God kept his mind upon the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth; for we obeyed not 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, that broughtest thy people forth from the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and madest thee a name such as it is at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
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, according to all thy goodness, let thine anger and thy fury, I beseech thee, be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain! for because of our iniquities, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are 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 prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's 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
O my God, incline thine ear, and hear! open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name! for we do not present our supplications before thee on account of our righteousness, but on account of thy great mercy.
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, forgive! O Lord, hearken and do! Defer not, for thine own sake, O my God! For thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
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
And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah 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
yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the former vision, came, weary with running, and reached me about the time of the evening oblation.
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 talked with me, and said: Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee understanding.
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
At the beginning of thy supplication a word went forth, and I am come to show it thee; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore give heed to the word, and consider 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 appointed for thy people, and for thy holy city, to complete the iniquity, and to fill up the measure of the sins, and to expiate the guilt, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint a holy of holies.
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, therefore, and understand! From the going forth of the word that Jerusalem should be restored and built till an anointed one, a prince, are seven weeks; and during sixty-two weeks it shall be restored and built with streets and moats, yet in troublous 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 the sixty-two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and there shall not be to him [[a successor]]; and the city and the sanctuary shall be destroyed by the people of a prince that shall come, whose end will be as in a flood; and to the end shall be war, decreed desolations.
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 will establish a covenant with many for one week, and during half a week he will cause sacrifice and oblation to cease, and upon the wing of abominations shall come the destroyer, until decreed destruction be poured out on the destroyer.
