< Daniel 11 >

1 “As for me, during the first year that Darius was king, I helped and encouraged Michael.”
我はまたメデア人ダリヨスの元年にかれを助け彼に力をそへたる事ありしなり
2 [The angel also said], “And what I am going to reveal to you now will truly [happen]. There will be three more kings to rule Persia, [one after the other]. Then there will be a fourth king, who will be much richer than the others. As a result of [his giving] a lot of money [to people, they will enable him to] become very powerful. Then he will incite/persuade many nations [HYP] [to fight] against the kingdom of Greece.
我いま眞實を汝に示さん視よ此後ペルシヤに三人の王興らんその第四の者は富ること一切の者に勝りその富強の大なるを恃みて一切を激發してギリシヤの國を攻ん
3 Then a very powerful king will appear [in Greece]. He will rule over a very large empire, and he will do whatever he wants to do.
また一箇の強き王おこり大なる威權を振ふて世を治めその意のままに事を爲ん
4 But when he has become very powerful, [he will die]. Then his kingdom will be divided into four parts. Kings who are not his descendants will rule, but they will not be as powerful as he was.
但し彼の正に旺盛なる時にその國は破裂して天の四方に分れん其は彼の兒孫に歸せず又かれの振ひしほどの威權あらず即ち彼の國は抜とられて是等の外なる者等に歸せん
5 Then the King of Egypt [MTY] will become very powerful. But one of his army generals will become more powerful than he is, and he will rule a bigger area.
南の王は強からん然どその大臣の一人これに逾て強くなり威權を振はんその威權は大なる威權なるべし
6 Several years later, the King of Egypt and the King of Syria will make an (alliance/agreement to help each other) [MTY]. The King of Syria will give his daughter to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But she will not be able to influence him [MTY] very long, and that woman, her husband, her child, and her servants will all be killed/assassinated.
年を經て後彼等相結ばん即ち南の王の女子北の王に適て和好を圖らん然どその腕には力なしまたその王およびその腕は立ことを得じこの女とこれを導ける者とこれを生せたる者とこれに力をつけたる者はみな時におよびて付されん
7 Soon after that, one of her relatives [MET] will become King [of Egypt]. His army will attack the army of Syria. They will enter the fortress of the soldiers of Syria and defeat them.
斯て後この女の根より出たる芽興りて之に代り北の王の軍勢にむかひて來りこれが城に打いりて之を攻て勝を得
8 They will return to Egypt, taking the statues of the gods [of the people of Syria] and many items made of silver and gold that had been dedicated to those gods. Then for several years his army will not attack [the army of] the King of Syria.
之が神々鑄像および金銀の貴き器具をエジプトに携へさらん彼は北の王の上に立て年を重ねん
9 Then the army of the King of Syria will invade Egypt, but they will soon return to Syria.
彼南の王の國に打入ことあらん然ど自己の國に退くべし
10 However, the sons of the King of Syria will prepare to start a war, and they will gather a large army. That army will march [south] and spread all over [Israel] like a huge flood. They will attack a strong fortress [in the south of Israel].
その子等また憤激して許多の大軍を聚め進みきたり溢れて往來しその城まで攻寄せん
11 Then the King of Egypt, having become very angry, will march [with his army north] from Egypt and fight against the army of Syria. The King [of Syria] will gather together a very large army, but [the army of the King of Egypt] will defeat them.
是において南の王大に怒り出きたりて北の王と戰ふべし彼大軍を興してこれに當らん然れどもその軍兵はこれが手に付されん
12 The King of Egypt will become very proud because of [his army] having killed a very large number of soldiers [from Syria], but his army will not continue to win battles.
大軍すなはち興りて彼心に高ぶり數萬人を仆さん然れどもその勢力はこれがために増さじ
13 The King of Syria will again gather together an army that will be bigger than the one that he had before. After a few years, he will again march [south on their way to Egypt] with a large army and a lot of equipment [for fighting battles].
また北の王は退きて初よりも大なる軍兵を興し或時すなはち或年數を經て後かならず大兵を率ゐ莫大の輜重を備へて攻來らん
14 At that time, many people in Egypt will rebel against their king. In order to fulfill a vision that [one of their leaders had seen], some violent/lawless people from your country [of Israel] will also rebel [in order to not be controlled by Egypt any more], but they will be defeated.
是時にあたりて衆多の者興りて南の王に敵せん又なんぢの民の中の奸惡人等みづから高ぶりて事を爲しつひに預言をして應ぜしめん即ち彼らは自ら仆るべし
15 Then the King of Syria will come [south with his army] and pile up dirt against the walls of a city that is well protected, and they will [break through those walls and] they will capture the city. The soldiers from Egypt [who have come to defend that city], even the best troops, will not be strong enough to continue to fight.
茲に北の王襲ひきたり壘を築きて堅城を攻おとさん南の王の腕はこれに當ることを得じ又その撰抜の民もこれに當る力なかるべし
16 So the King of Syria will do whatever he wants to, and no one will be able to oppose him. [His army] will occupy the glorious land [of Israel] and completely control/subdue it.
之に攻きたる者はその意に任せて事をなさんその前に立ことを得る者なかるべし彼は美しき地に到らんその地はこれがために荒さるべし
17 Then he will decide to march [south] with all the soldiers from his kingdom. He will make an alliance with the King [of Egypt] and in order that his own daughter will [help him to] destroy the kingdom of Egypt, he will give her to the King of Egypt to become his wife. But that plan will fail.
彼その全國の力を盡して打入んとその面をこれに向べけれどまたこれと和好をなして婦人の女子を之に與へん然るにその婦人の女子は之がために身を滅すに至り何事をも成あたはす毫も彼のために益する所なかるべし
18 After that, the [army of] the King of Syria will attack the regions that are close to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and his [army] will conquer many of them. But [the army of] a leader from another country will defeat the army of Syria and will stop their king from continuing to be proud. He will do to the King of Syria what he deserved for being very insolent.
彼またその面を島々にむけて之を多く取らん茲に一人の大將ありて彼が與へたる恥辱を雪ぎその恥辱をかれの身に與へかへさん
19 Then the King of Syria will return to the fortresses in his own land. But he will be defeated, and he will (die/be assassinated) [EUP] there.
かくて彼その面を自己の國の城々に向ん而して終に躓き仆れて亡ん
20 Then another man will (succeed him/become king). That king will send one of his officers to oppress the people [in Jerusalem] by forcing them to pay big taxes, in order to get more money for his kingdom. But after a few years [HYP] that king will die, but he will not die as a result of people being angry with him or in a battle.
彼に代りて興る者は榮光の國に人を出して租税を征斂しめん但し彼は忿怒にも戰門にもよらずして數日の内に滅亡せん
21 The next King of Syria will be an evil man who, [because he will not be the son of the previous king, ] will not have the right to become king. But he will come when people do not expect it, and he will become king by tricking the people.
また之にかはりて起る者は賤まるる者にして國の尊榮これに歸せざらん然れども彼不意に來り巧言をもて國を獲ん
22 When his army advances, they will attack any armies that oppose him and destroy those armies. They will also kill God’s Supreme Priest.
洪水のごとき軍勢かれのために押流されて敗れん契約の君たる者も然らん
23 By making treaties/alliances with [the rulers of] other nations, he will deceive them, and he will become very powerful, even though he rules a nation that does not have a lot of people.
彼は之に契約をむすびて後詭計を行ひ上りきたりて僅少の民をもて勢を得ん
24 Suddenly his [army] will invade a province that is very wealthy, and they will do things that none of his ancestors did: they will capture in battles all kinds of possessions from the people whom they defeat. Then the king will divide those possessions among his friends. He will also plan [for his army] to attack fortresses [in Egypt], but only for a short time.
彼すなはち不意にきたりてその國の膏腴なる處に攻いりその父もその父の父も爲ざりしところの事を行はん彼はその奪ひたる物掠めたる物および財寳を衆人の中に散すべし彼は謀略をめぐらして堅固なる城々を攻取べし時の至るまで斯のごとくならん
25 He will courageously/boldly conscript/gather a large and powerful army to attack [the army of] the king of Egypt. But the King of Egypt will prepare to fight against them with a huge and powerful army. However, someone will deceive him, with the result that his plan will not be successful.
彼はその勢力を奮ひ心を勵まし大軍を率ゐて南の王に攻よせん南の王もまた自ら奮ひ甚だ大なる強き軍勢をもて迎へ戰はん然ど謀略をめぐらして攻るが故にこれに當ることを得ざるべし
26 Even his most trusted advisors will plan to get rid of him. His army will be defeated and many of his soldiers will be killed.
すなはち彼の珍膳に與り食ふ者彼を倒さんその軍兵溢れん打死する者衆かるべし
27 Then the two [kings who both want to rule that area] will sit down at the same table and eat together, but they will both lie to each other. Neither of them will get what he wants, because it will not be the time [that God] has determined/set [for them to rule Egypt].
此二人の王は害をなさんと心にはかり同席に共に食して詭計を言ん然どもその志ならざるべし定まれる時のいたる迄は其事終らじ
28 [The army of] the King [of Syria] will return to Syria, taking with them all the valuable things [that they had captured]. The king will be determined to get rid of the Supreme Priest of the Jewish people. He will do what he wants to [in Israel], and then return to his own country.
彼は莫大の財寳をもちて自己の國に歸らん彼は聖約に敵する心を懐きて事をなし而してその國にかへらん
29 When it is the time that God has decided, the King of Syria [and his army] will invade Egypt again. But this time he will not be successful like he was before.
定まれる時にいたりて彼また進みて南に到らん然ど後の模樣は先の模樣のごとくならざらん
30 The army of Rome will come in ships and oppose his army and cause him to be afraid. So he will be very angry, and [with his army] he will return [to Israel] and try to get rid of the Supreme Priest. The King of Syria will do what those who have abandoned the Jewish religion advise/want him to do for them.
即ちキツテムの船かれに到るべければ彼力をおとして還り聖約にむかひて忿怒をもらして事をなさん而して彼歸りゆき聖約を棄る者と相謀らん
31 Some of his soldiers will do things to (defile the temple/cause the temple to become unholy for them). They will prevent the priests from offering sacrifices each day, and they will put [in the temple] something that is disgusting/abominable.
彼より腕おこりて聖所すなはち堅城を汚し常供の物を撤除かせかつ殘暴可惡者を立ん
32 By deceiving those who have abandoned the Jewish religion, he will persuade them to (become his supporters/help him to do what he wants to do). But those who are devoted to their God will firmly oppose them.
彼はまた契約に關て罪を獲る者等を巧言をもて引誘して背かせん然どその神を知る人々は力ありて事をなさん
33 And wise [Israeli] leaders will teach others also. But for a while, some of those wise leaders will be killed in battles, and some will be burned to death, and some will be robbed, and some will be put in prison.
民の中の頴悟者ども衆多の人を敎ふるあらん然ながら彼らは暫時の間刃にかかり火にやかれ擄はれ掠められ等して仆れん
34 While God’s people are being persecuted, some people will help them a little bit, although some of those who help them will not do it sincerely.
その仆るる時にあたりて彼らは少しく扶助を獲ん又衆多の人詐りて彼らに合せん
35 Some of those wise leaders will be killed [EUP], but as a result the others will be purified [DOU]. This suffering will continue until it is the time [that God] has appointed [for it to] end.
また穎悟者等の中にも仆るる者あらん斯のごとく彼らの中に試むる事淨むる事潔よくする事おこなはれて終の時にいたらん即ち定まれる時まで然るべし
36 The King [of Syria] will do what he wants to. He will boast and say that he is greater than any god. He will even revile the Supreme God. He will be able to do what he wants until the time that [God] punishes [MTY] him. [God] will accomplish what he has planned.
此王その意のままに事をおこなひ萬の神に逾て自己を高くし自己を大にし神々の神たる者にむかひて大言を吐き等して忿怒の息む時までその志を得ん其はその定まれるところの事成ざるべからざればなり
37 The [King of Syria] will ignore the god that his ancestors worshiped and the god that many women love. He will ignore every god, because he will think that he is greater than all of them.
彼はその先祖の神々を顧みず婦女の愉快を思はずまた何の神をも顧みざらん其は彼一切に逾て自己を大にすればなり
38 But he will honor the god who [people think] protects fortresses. That is a god whom his ancestors did not honor. And he will give gold, silver, (jewels/very valuable stones) and other expensive gifts to that god.
彼は之の代に軍神を崇め金銀珠玉および寳物をもてその先祖等の識ざりし神を崇めん
39 He will ask that god (OR, people who worship a god) from another country to help him to defend his fortresses. He will greatly honor those who allow him [to be their ruler]. He will appoint [some of] them to important positions in the government; and to reward them, he will give them some land.
彼はこの異邦の神に由り要害の城々にむかひて事を爲ん凡て彼を尊ぶ者には彼加ふるに榮を以てし之をして衆多の人を治めしめ土地をこれに分ち與へて賞賜とせん
40 But when his time [to rule] is almost ended, [the army of] the King of Egypt will attack his [army]. The [army of the] King of Syria will fight against them furiously [SIM]. [His soldiers will be driving] chariots and [riding on] horses and [traveling in] many ships. His army will invade many countries and [spread all over those countries] like a flood [MET].
終の時にいたりて南の王彼と戰はん北の王は車と馬と衆多の船をもて大風のごとく之に攻寄せ國に打いりて潮のごとく溢れ渉らん
41 They will invade the glorious land [of Israel] and kill [EUP] tens of thousands of people. But the people of the Edom people-group and the people of the Moab people-group and the people of the Ammon people-group who are still alive will escape.
彼はまた美しき國に進み入ん彼のために亡ぶる者多かるべし然どエドム、モアブ、アンモン人の中の第一なる者などは彼の手を免かれん
42 When the army of Syria invades other countries, even the people of Egypt will be defeated.
彼國々にその手を伸さんエジプトの地も免かれがたし
43 The army of Syria will take away from Egypt gold, silver, and other valuable items. The people of Libya and Ethiopia will allow [the King of Syria] to rule over them.
彼は遂にエジプトの金銀財寳を手に入れんリブア人とエテオピア人は彼の後に從はん
44 But he will become very frightened/alarmed when he hears reports about what is happening in the east and in the north. So he will become very angry, and send his army to fight furiously and kill many [of their enemies].
彼東と北より報知を得て周章ふためき許多の人を滅し絶んと大に忿りて出ゆかん
45 The [King of Syria] will set up his royal tents in the area between the [Mediterranean] Sea and the hill [in Jerusalem] on which the temple (exists/was built). But he will be killed there, because there will be no one to help him.”
彼は海の間において美しき聖山に天幕の宮殿をしつらはん然ど彼つひにその終にいたらん之を助くる者なかるべし
