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, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
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 a vision, and when I saw, I was in Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and was by the river Ulai.
3 我目を挙て観しに何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 lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram, which had two horns; and the two horns were high, and one was higher than the other; and the higher came up last.
4 我観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 beast could stand before him, and none 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
And I gave heed, and behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
6 此者さきに我が何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 he came to the ram which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran against him in the fury of his power.
7 我観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蹈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 saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him, and smote the ram, and broke in pieces his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.
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 he-goat became exceedingly great; but when he became strong the great horn was broken, and instead of it grew up four conspicuous ones 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
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly 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蹈つけ
And it exalted itself even to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and stamped upon 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
Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice did he take away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was cast 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
And a host was placed over the daily sacrifice with impiety, and it cast down truth to the ground, and it accomplished its purpose 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廃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蹈つけらるる事は何時まで斯てあるべきかと
And I heard a holy one speak; and another holy one said to the one that had spoken, To how long a time extendeth the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the impiety of the destroyer, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
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 said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
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 came to pass, that when I Daniel saw the vision, I sought for the meaning; and behold, there stood one before me having the appearance of 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
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, make this man to 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
And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face, and he said to me, Understand, O son of man! for this vision relateth 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
But when he spake to me, I sank senseless upon my face to the ground; but he touched me, and lifted me up where I had stood.
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 he said, Behold, I make known to thee what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for [[the vision relateth]] to the 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ャの王なり
The ram which thou sawest, having two horns, denoteth 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 rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn 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
And as that was broken, and four arose in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of the 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
And toward the end of their reign, when the transgressors have filled up the measure of their iniquities, a king shall arise of a fierce countenance, and cunning in artifices.
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 shall become mighty, but not by his own strength; and wonderfully will he destroy, and prosper, and accomplish his purposes, and he will destroy many, even 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 through his cunning will he cause fraud to prosper in his hand, and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in the midst of security, and against the Prince of princes will he stand up; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 前に告たる朝夕の異象は眞実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 vision of the evening and the morning, which was told thee, is true; but do thou seal up the vision, for it relates to 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 fainted, and was sick some days; then I rose up and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but no one explained it.
