Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
バビロンの王ベルシヤザルの元年にダニエルその牀にありて夢を見 腦中に異象を得たりしが即ちその夢を記してその事の大意を述ぶ
2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven strove upon the great sea.
ダニエル述て曰く我夜の異象の中に見てありしに四方の天風大海にむかひて烈しく吹きたり
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
四箇の大なる獣海より上りきたれりその形はおのおの異なり
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
第一のは獅子の如くにして鷲の翼ありけるが我見てをりしに是はその翼を抜とられまた地より起され人のごとく足にて立せられ且人の心を賜はれり
5 And behold another beast, a second, like a bear, and it raised itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
第二の獣は熊のごとくなりき是はその體の一方を挙げその口の歯の間に三の脇骨を啣へ居けるが之にむかひて言る者あり曰く起あがりて許多の肉を食へと
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
その後に我見しに豹のごとき獣いでたりしがその背には鳥の翼四ありこの獣はまた四の頭ありて統轄權をたまはれり
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the remainder with its feet: and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
我夜の異象の中に見しにその後第四の獣いでたりしが是は畏しく猛く大に強くして大なる鉄の歯あり食ひかつ咬碎きてその残餘をば足にて踏つけたり是はその前に出たる諸の獣とは異なりてまた十の角ありき
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
我その角を考へ観つつありけるにその中にまた一箇の小き角出きたりしがこの小き角のために先の角三箇その根より抜おちたりこの小き角には人の目のごとき目ありまた大なる事を言口あり
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
我観つつありしに遂に賓座を置列ぶるありて日の老たる者座を占めたりしがその衣は雪のごとくに白くその髪毛は漂潔めたる羊の毛のごとし又その賓座は火の熖にしてその車輪は燃る火なり
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
而して彼の前より一道の火の流わきいづ彼に仕ふる者は千々彼の前に侍る者は萬々審判すなはち始りて書を開けり
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
その角の大なる事を言ふ聲によりて我観つつありけるが我が見る間にその獣は終に殺され體を壊はれて燃る火に投いれられたり
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
またその餘の獣はその權威を奪はれたりしがその生命は時と期の至るまで延されたり
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
我また夜の異象の中に観てありけるに人の子のごとき者雲に乗て來り日の老たる者の許に到りたればすなはちその前に導きけるに
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
之に權と榮と國とを賜ひて諸民諸族諸音をしてこれに事へしむその權は永遠の權にして移りさらず又その國は亡ぶることなし
15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
是において我ダニエルその體の内の魂を憂へしめわが脳中の異象のために思ひなやみたれば
16 I came near to one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
すなはち其處にたてる者の一箇に就てこの一切の事の眞意を問けるに其者われにこの事の解明を告しらせて云く
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
この四の大なる獣は地に興らんとする四人の王なり
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
然ど終には至高者の聖徒國を受け長久にその國を保ちて世々限りなからんと
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the remainder with his feet;
是において我またその第四の獣の眞意を知んと欲せり此獣は他の獣と異なりて至畏ろしくその歯は鉄その爪は銅にして食ひかつ咬碎きてその残餘を足にて踏つけたり
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
此獣の頭には十の角ありしが其他にまた一の角いできたりしかば之がために三の角抜おちたり此角には目ありまた大なる事を言ふ口ありてその状はその同類よりも強く見えたり我またこの事を知んと欲せり
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
我観つつありけるに此角聖徒と戦ひてこれに勝たりしが
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
終に日の老たる者來りて至高者の聖徒のために公義をおこなへり而してその時いたりて聖徒國を捉たり
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
彼かく言り第四の獣は地上の第四の國なり是は一切の國と異なり全世界を并呑しこれを踏つけかつ打破らん
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be different from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
その十の角はこの國に興らんところの十人の王なり之が後にまた一人興るべし是は先の者と異なり且その王三人を倒すべし
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
かれ至高者に敵して言を出しかつ至高者の聖徒を惱まさん彼また時と法とを變んことを望まん聖徒は一時と二時と半時を經るまで彼の手に付されてあらん
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
斯て後審判はじまり彼はその權を奪はれて終極まで滅び亡ん
27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
而して國と權と天下の國々の勢力とはみな至高者の聖徒たる民に歸せん至高者の國は永遠の國なり諸國の者みな彼に事へかつ順はんと
28 Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
その事此にて終れり我ダニエルこれを思ひまはして大に憂へ顔色も變りぬ我この事を心に蔵む
