Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood the word, and had understanding of the vision.
ペルシャの王クロスの三年にベルテシヤザルといふダニエル一の事の黙旨を得たるがその事は眞實にしてその戦争は大なり彼その事を暁りその示現の義を暁れり
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.
常時我ダニエル三七日の間哀めり 即ち三七日の全く満るまでは旨き物を食ず肉と酒とを口にいれずまた身に膏油を抹ざりき
3 I had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is the Tigris,
正月の二十四日に我ヒデケルといふ大河の邊に在り
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from Uphaz.
目を挙て望観しに一箇の人ありて布の衣を衣ウバズの金の帯を腰にしめをり
6 His body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.
その體は黄金色の玉のごとくその面は電光の如くその目は火の熖のごとくその手とその足の色は磨ける銅のごとくその言ふ聲は群衆の聲の如し
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
この示現は唯我ダニエル一人これを観たり我と偕なる人々はこの示現を見ざりしが何となくその身大に慄きて逃かくれたり
8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
故に我ひとり遺りたるがこの大なる示現を観るにおよびて力ぬけさり顔色まつたく變りて毫も力なかりき
9 Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
我その語ふ聲を聞けるがその語ふ聲を聞る時我は氣を喪へる状にて俯伏し面を土につけゐたりしに
10 Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
一の手ありて我に捫りければ我戦ひながら跪づきて手をつきたるに
11 He said to me, "Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
彼われに言けるは愛せらるる人ダニエルよ我が汝に告る言を暁れよ汝まづ起あがれ我は今汝の許に遣されたるなりと彼がこの言を我に告る時に我は戦ひて立り
12 Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
彼すなはち我に言けるはダニエルよ懼るる勿れ汝が心をこめて悟らんとし汝の神の前に身をなやませるその初の日よりして汝の言はすでに聴れたれば我汝の言によりて來れり
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia.
然るにペルシャの國の君二十一日の間わが前に立塞がりけるが長たる君の一なるミカエル來りて我を肋けたれば我勝留りてペルシャの王等の傍にをる
14 Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future days."
我は末の日に汝の民に臨まんとするところの事を汝に暁らせんとて米れりまた後の日に関はる所の異象ありと
15 And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
かれ是等の言を我に宣たる時に我は面を土につけて居り辭を措ところ無りしが
16 And look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have no strength.
人の子のごとき者わが唇に捫りければ我すなはち口を開きわが前に立る者に陳て言り我主よこの示現によりて我は畏怖にたへず全く力を失へり
17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
此わが主の僕いかでか此わが主と語ふことを得んとその時は我まつたく力を失ひて氣息も止らんばかりなりしが
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again and strengthened me.
人の形のごとき者ふたたび我に捫り我に力をつけて
19 And he said, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."
言けるは愛せらるる人よ懼るる勿れ安んぜよ心強かれ心強かれと斯われに言ければ我力づきて曰り我主よ語りたまへ汝われに力をつけたまへりと
20 Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, the prince of Greece shall come.
彼われに言けるは汝は我が何のために汝に臨めるかを知るや我今また歸りゆきてペルシャの君と戦はんとす我が出行ん後にギリシャの君きたらん
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them except Michael, your prince."
但し我まづ眞実の書に記されたる所を汝に示すべし我を助けて彼らに敵る者は汝らの君ミカエルのみ
