ダニエル書 12

1 その時汝の民の人々のために立ところの大なる君ミカエル起あがらん是艱難の時なり國ありてより以來その時にいたるまで斯る艱難ありし事なかるべしその時汝の民は救はれん即ち書にしるされたる者はみな救はれん

“But at that time Michael will rise up, the great leader, who stands up for the sons of your people. And a time will come, such as has not been from the time that nations began, even until that time. And, at that time, your people will be saved, all who will be found written in the book.

2 また地の下に睡りをる者の中衆多の者目を醒さんその中永生を得る者ありまた恥辱を蒙りて限なく羞る者あるべし

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awaken: some to everlasting life, and others to a reproach that they will always see.

3 穎悟者は空の光輝のごとくに耀かんまた衆多の人を義に導ける者は星のごとくなりて永遠にいたらん

But those who have taught will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who instruct many towards justice, like the stars for unending eternity.

4 ダニエルよ終末の時まで此言を秘し此書を封じおけ衆多の者跋渉らん而して知識増べしと

But you, Daniel, close the message and seal the book, until the established time. Many will pass through, and knowledge will be increased.”

5 茲に我ダニエル觀に別にまた二箇の者ありて一箇は河の此旁の岸にあり一箇は河の彼旁の岸にありけるが

And I, Daniel, looked, and behold, similarly two others stood up, one over here, on the bank of the river, and the other over there, on the other bank of the river.

6 その一箇の者かの布の衣を衣て河の水の上に立る人にむかひて言り此奇跡は何の時にいたりて終るべきやと

And I said to the man, who was clothed in linen, who stood over the waters of the river, “How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”

7 我聞にかの布の衣を衣て河の水の上に立る人天にむかひてその右の手と左の手を擧げ永久に生る者を指て誓ひて言りその間は一時と二時と半時なり聖民の手の碎くること終らん時に是等の事みな終るべしと

And I heard the man, who was clothed in linen, who stood over the waters of the river, when he had lifted his right hand and his left hand up to heaven, and had sworn by He who lives forever, that it would be for a time, and times, and half a time. And when the dispersion of the hand of the holy people is completed, all these things will be completed.

8 我聞たれども暁ることを得ざりき我また言りわが主よ是等の事の終は何ぞやと

And I heard and did not understand. And I said, “My lord, what will be after these things?”

9 彼いひけるはダニエルよ往け此言は終極の時まで秘しかつ封じ置るべし

And he said, “Go, Daniel, for the words are closed and sealed until the predetermined time.

10 衆多の者淨められ潔よくせられ試みられん然ど惡き者は惡き事を行はん惡き者は一人も暁ること無るべし然ど頴悟者は暁るべし

Many will be chosen and purified, and, as if by fire, they will be tested, and the impious will act impiously, and none of the impious will understand, yet the teachers will understand.

11 常供の者を除き殘暴可惡者を立ん時よりして一千二百九十日あらん

And from the time when the continual sacrifice will be taken away and the abomination of desolation will be set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days.

12 待をりて一千三百三十五日に至る者は幸福なり

Blessed is he who waits and reaches until one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.

13 汝終りに進み行け汝は安息に入り日の終りに至り起て汝の分を享ん

But you, go, until the predetermined time, and you will rest and will stand in your allotted place at the end of days.
