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ャザルの元年に、ダニエルは床にあって夢を見、また脳中に幻を得たので、彼はその夢をしるして、その事の大意を述べた。 |
| 7-2 |
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven brake forth upon the great sea. |
ダニエルは述べて言った、「わたしは夜の幻のうちに見た。見よ、天の四方からの風が大海をかきたてると、 |
| 7-3 |
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. |
四つの大きな獣が海からあがってきた。その形は、おのおの異なり、 |
| 7-4 |
The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man’s heart was given to it. |
第一のものは、ししのようで、わしの翼をもっていたが、わたしが見ていると、その翼は抜きとられ、また地から起されて、人のように二本の足で立たせられ、かつ人の心が与えられた。 |
| 7-5 |
And, behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. |
見よ、第二の獣は熊のようであった。これはそのからだの一方をあげ、その口の歯の間に、三本の肋骨をくわえていたが、これに向かって『起きあがって、多くの肉を食らえ』と言う声があった。 |
| 7-6 |
After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. |
その後わたしが見たのは、ひょうのような獣で、その背には鳥の翼が四つあった。またこの獣には四つの頭があり、主権が与えられた。 |
| 7-7 |
After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. |
その後わたしが夜の幻のうちに見た第四の獣は、恐ろしい、ものすごい、非常に強いもので、大きな鉄の歯があり、食らい、かつ、かみ砕いて、その残りを足で踏みつけた。これは、その前に出たすべての獣と違って、十の角を持っていた。 |
| 7-8 |
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. |
わたしが、その角を注意して見ていると、その中に、また一つの小さい角が出てきたが、この小さい角のために、さきの角のうち三つがその根から抜け落ちた。見よ、この小さい角には、人の目のような目があり、また大きな事を語る口があった。 |
| 7-9 |
I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fire. |
わたしが見ていると、もろもろのみ座が設けられて、日の老いたる者が座しておられた。その衣は雪のように白く、頭の毛は混じりもののない羊の毛のようであった。そのみ座は火の炎であり、その車輪は燃える火であった。 |
| 7-10 |
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. |
彼の前から、ひと筋の火の流れが出てきた。彼に仕える者は千々、彼の前にはべる者は万々、審判を行う者はその席に着き、かずかずの書き物が開かれた。 |
| 7-11 |
I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire. |
わたしは、その角の語る大いなる言葉の声がするので見ていたが、わたしが見ている間にその獣は殺され、そのからだはそこなわれて、燃える火に投げ入れられた。 |
| 7-12 |
And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. |
その他の獣はその主権を奪われたが、その命は、時と季節の来るまで延ばされた。 |
| 7-13 |
I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. |
わたしはまた夜の幻のうちに見ていると、見よ、人の子のような者が、天の雲に乗ってきて、日の老いたる者のもとに来ると、その前に導かれた。 |
| 7-14 |
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, 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. |
彼に主権と光栄と国とを賜い、諸民、諸族、諸国語の者を彼に仕えさせた。その主権は永遠の主権であって、なくなることがなく、その国は滅びることがない。 |
| 7-15 |
As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. |
そこで、われダニエル、わがうちなる霊は憂え、わが脳中の幻は、わたしを悩ましたので、 |
| 7-16 |
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. |
わたしは、そこに立っている者のひとりに近寄って、このすべての事の真意を尋ねた。するとその者は、わたしにこの事の解き明かしを告げ知らせた。 |
| 7-17 |
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth. |
『この四つの大きな獣は、地に起らんとする四人の王である。 |
| 7-18 |
But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. |
しかしついには、いと高き者の聖徒が国を受け、永遠にその国を保って、世々かぎりなく続く』。 |
| 7-19 |
Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; |
そこでわたしは、さらに第四の獣の真意を知ろうとした。その獣は他の獣と異なって、はなはだ恐ろしく、その歯は鉄、そのつめは青銅であって、食らい、かつ、かみ砕いて、その残りを足で踏みつけた。 |
| 7-20 |
and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows. |
この獣の頭には、十の角があったが、そのほかに一つの角が出てきたので、この角のために、三つの角が抜け落ちた。この角には目があり、また大きな事を語る口があって、その形は、その同類のものよりも大きく見えた。 |
| 7-21 |
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; |
わたしが見ていると、この角は聖徒と戦って、彼らに勝ったが、 |
| 7-22 |
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. |
ついに日の老いたる者がきて、いと高き者の聖徒のために審判をおこなった。そしてその時がきて、この聖徒たちは国を受けた。 |
| 7-23 |
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. |
彼はこう言った、『第四の獣は地上の第四の国である。これはすべての国と異なって、全世界を併合し、これを踏みつけ、かつ打ち砕く。 |
| 7-24 |
And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings. |
十の角はこの国から起る十人の王である。その後にまたひとりの王が起る。彼は先の者と異なり、かつ、その三人の王を倒す。かつ、いと高き者の聖徒を悩ます。 |
| 7-25 |
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time. |
彼は、いと高き者に敵して言葉を出し、彼はまた時と律法とを変えようと望む。聖徒はひと時と、ふた時と、半時の間、彼の手にわたされる。 |
| 7-26 |
But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. |
しかし審判が行われ、彼の主権は奪われて、永遠に滅び絶やされ、 |
| 7-27 |
And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. |
国と主権と全天下の国々の権威とは、いと高き者の聖徒たる民に与えられる。彼らの国は永遠の国であって、諸国の者はみな彼らに仕え、かつ従う』。 |
| 7-28 |
Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart. |
その事はここで終った。われダニエルは、これを思いまわして、非常に悩み、顔色も変った。しかし、わたしはこの事を心に留めた」。 |
