但以理書 2
1 拿步高在位第十二年，拿步高一連做了幾個夢，遂心神不寧，不能入睡。
And in year two of [the] reign of Nebuchadnezzar he dreamed Nebuchadnezzar dreams and it was troubled spirit his and sleep his it happened on him.
2 於是君王下令召巫師、術士、方士和占星者前來給君王詳夢；他們前來了，站在君王前，
And he said the king to summon the soothsayer-priests and the conjurers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to tell to the king dreams his and they came and they stood before the king.
3 君王對他們說：「我做了一個夢，心神不寧，急於要知道這夢的究竟。」
And he said to them the king a dream I have dreamed and it was troubled spirit my to know the dream.
4 占星者用【阿剌美語】回答君王說：「大王萬歲! 請大王給你的僕人們說出夢來，我們好給大王解釋那夢的意義。」
And they spoke the Chaldeans to the king Aramaic king O for ever live! tell! dream the (to servant your *Q(K)*) and interpretation the we will declare.
5 君王答覆占星者說：「我是言出必行的，如果你們不告訴我那夢和夢的意義，你們必被萬刮凌遲，你們的家必成為廢墟。
[was] replying King the and [was] saying (to Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) word the from me [is] assured if not you will make known to me dream the and interpretation its members you will be made and houses your a refuse-heap they will be made.
6 但若你們告知我那夢和夢的意義，你們必獲得我的禮物、賞報和崇高的尊榮；為此你們告訴我那夢和夢的意義罷! 」
And if dream the and interpretation its you will declare gifts and a reward and honor great you will receive from before me therefore dream the and interpretation its declare to me.
7 他們又回答說：「請大王給你的僕人們說出夢來，好讓我們給大王解釋。」
They replied a second [time] and [they were] saying king O dream the let him tell to servants his and interpretation the we will declare.
8 君王回答說：「我明知你們是在想爭取時間，因為你們明知我是言出必行的；
[was] replying King the and [was] saying according to certain [am] knowing I that time you [are] gaining as to because that you have seen that [is] assured from me word the.
9 如果你們不告訴我那夢，為你們只有一個判決。那麼，你們是想在我面前說謊欺騙，專待時機的轉變。現在你們要告訴我那夢，好使我知道你們能為我解釋那夢的意義。」
That if dream the not you will make known to me [is] one it decree your and a word a lie and corrupt (you have agreed together *Q(K)*) to say before me until that time the it will be changed therefore dream the tell! to me so I may know that interpretation its you will declare to me.
10 占星者在君王面前回答說：「世上沒有一個人能說出大王所問的事，從來也沒有一位君王，不論他如何偉大，有勢力，向任何巫師、術士和占星者詢問過這樣的事。
They replied (Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) before king the and [they were] saying not there [is] a person on earth the who [the] matter of king the he will be able to declare as to because that any king great and powerful a matter like this not he has asked to any magician and conjurer and Chaldean.
11 大王詢問的，確是件難事，沒有誰能告訴大王，除非那不與血肉之軀同居的神祇。」
And matter the which king the [is] asking [is] difficult and [is] another not there who he will declare it before king the except gods who dwelling place their [is] with flesh not there it.
12 君王因此生氣，大發雷霆，下令消滅巴比倫所有的智者。
As to because this king the he was angry and he was furious exceedingly and he said to destroy all [the] wise men of Babylon.
13 要殺智者的諭令發出之後，人們就搜索達尼爾和他的同伴，要將他們殺死。
And decree the it went out and wise men the [were] about to be killed and they sought Daniel and companions his to be killed.
14 君王的衛隊長阿黎約客出發，要殺巴比倫的智者之時，達尼爾機警明智地應付了他。
Then Daniel he sent back counsel and discretion to Arioch [the] chief executioners the of king the who he went out to kill [the] wise men of Babylon.
15 達尼爾問君王的全權大臣阿黎約客說：「君王發出的諭令，為什麼這樣迫切」﹖阿黎約客遂將事情告訴了達尼爾。
[he was] replying And [he was] saying to Arioch captain the of king the on what? [is] decree the harsh from before king the then matter the he made known Arioch to Daniel.
16 達尼爾進去要求君王給他延長限期，好為君王詳解夢兆。
And Daniel he went in and he asked from king the that time he will give to him and interpretation the to declare to king the.
17 然後回到家裏，把事情告訴了自己的同伴阿納尼雅、米沙耳和阿匝黎雅，
Then Daniel to house his he went and to Hananiah Mishael and Azariah companions his matter the he made known.
18 要他們為這秘密事，懇求上天的大主施恩，挽救達尼爾和他的同伴與巴比倫其餘的智者，免被殺害。
And compassion to ask from before [the] God of heavens the concerning secret the this that not they will destroy Daniel and companions his with [the] rest of [the] wise men of Babylon.
19 於是在夜間的神視中，這個秘密就啟示給達尼爾了；達尼爾遂讚美上天的大主，
Then to Daniel in vision the of night the secret the it was revealed then Daniel he blessed [the] God of heavens the.
20 說：「願天主的名，從永遠直到永遠受讚美，因為智慧和能力都屬於他。
[was] replying Daniel and [was] saying let it be name his of true God the [be] blessed from antiquity and to perpetuity that wisdom and power which [is] to him it.
21 是他變更四時季節，是他廢黜君王，也興立君主，賜智者以智慧，賜識者以聰敏；
And he [is] changing times the and appointed times the [he is] removing kings and [he is] setting up kings [he is] giving wisdom to wise men and understanding to ones knowing discernment.
22 是他啟示隱秘深奧之事，洞悉暗中的事，因為光明居於他內。
He [is] revealing deep [things] and hidden [things] [he is] knowing what? [is] in darkness the (and light the *Q(k)*) with him [is] dwelling.
23 我祖先的天主，我稱謝讚頌你，因為你賜給了我智慧和能力。我們祈求你的事，現在你已曉諭了我們，使我們知道了君王的秘密。」
You - O God of fathers my [am] praising and [am] praising I that wisdom and power you have given to me and now you have made known to me that we asked from you that [the] matter of king the you made known to us.
24 達尼爾遂去見君王委派殺戮巴比倫智者的阿黎約客，對他這樣說：「請暫且先不要殺害巴比倫的智者，帶我去見君王，我要給君王解夢。」
As to because this Daniel he went in to Arioch whom he had appointed king the to destroy [the] wise men of Babylon he went - and as follows he said to him [the] wise men of Babylon may not you destroy bring in me before king the and interpretation the to king the I will declare.
25 於是阿黎約客立刻引達尼爾去見君王，對君王說：「我從猶大被擄的子民中找得一人，他會給大王解夢。」
Then Arioch in haste he brought in Daniel before king the and as follows he said to him that I have found a man from [the] sons of exile the of Judah who interpretation the to king the he will make known.
26 君王對名叫貝耳特沙匝的達尼爾說道：「你能告訴我，我所見的夢和夢的意義嗎﹖」
[was] replying King the and [was] saying to Daniel who name his [was] Belteshazzar (¿ [are] you *Q(k)*) able to make known to me dream the which I saw and interpretation its.
27 達尼爾回答君王說：「大王所問的奧秘，不是智者、術士、巫師和占卜者所能告訴大王的；
[was] replying Daniel before king the and [was] saying secret the which king the [is] asking not wise men conjurers magicians astrologers [are] being able to declare to king the.
28 但是，在天上有一位啟示奧秘的大主! 他已將那日後要發生的事曉諭給大王。大王! 你在床上腦中所得的夢，所見的神視是這樣：
Nevertheless there [is] a God in heavens the [who] reveals secrets and he has made known to king the Nebuchadnezzar what that it will be at [the] end of days the dream your and [the] visions of head your on bed your [is] this it.
29 大王你睡在床上忽然想到日後所要發生的事，啟示奧秘的那位，把要發生的事已曉諭給你。
(You *Q(k)*) king O thought[s] your on bed your they came up what that it will be after this and [one who] reveals secrets he has made known to you what that it will be.
30 這奧秘已啟示給我，並非因為我比任何活人更有智慧，而只是為把夢兆告訴大王，叫你知道你心心中的思念。」「
And I not by wisdom which there [is] in me more than all living [people] the secret the this it has been revealed to me but on [the] cause that interpretation the to king the they will make known and [the] thoughts of heart your you will know.
31 大王! 你夢見一尊巨大的立像。這尊立像異常高大，非常光輝燦爛，立在君王面前，相貌可怕。
(You *Q(k)*) king O seeing you were and lo! an image one great image the this [was] great and splendor its extraordinary [was] standing before you and appearance its [was] terrible.
32 這尊立像，頭是純金的，胸和臂是銀的，腹和股是銅的。
It image the head its of gold good breast its and arms its of silver belli its and loins its of bronze.
33 脛是鐵的，腳一部份是鐵，一部份是泥的。
Legs its of iron feet its (some of them *Q(K)*) of iron (and some of them *Q(K)*) of clay.
34 大王，你在觀望，忽有一塊石頭，未經手鑿即滾下，擊中了立像，把鐵泥的腳，打得粉碎；
Seeing you were until that it was cut out a stone which not [was] by hands and it struck image the on feet its of iron the and clay the and it shattered them.
35 同時鐵、泥、銅、銀和金立即完全粉碎，有如夏天禾場上的糠秕，被風吹去，無蹤無影；那塊擊碎立像的石頭卻變成了一座大山，佔據了全地。」「
Then they were shattered as one iron the clay the bronze the silver the and gold the and they were like chaff from threshing floors of summer and it carried away them wind the and any place not it was found for them and stone the - which it struck image the it became a mountain great and it filled all earth the.
36 夢是這樣的，現在我們要給大王解釋夢兆。
This [was] dream the and interpretation its we will tell before king the.
37 大王! 你是王中之王，上天大主賜給了你領土、勢力、權威和尊榮，
(You *Q(k)*) king O [are] [the] king of kings the whom [the] God of heavens the kingdom the power the and strength the and honor the he has given to you.
38 凡有人居住的地方，田野的走獸，天空的飛鳥，都交在你手中，由你統治這一切，你便是那屬金的頭。
And over all that ([are] dwelling *Q(k)*) [the] sons of humankind [the] animal[s] of field the and [the] bird[s] of heavens the he has given in hand your and he has made ruler you over all of them (you *Q(K)*) [are] it head the of gold.
39 在你以後，將興起另一個比你稍弱的國家，以後興起第三個國家，屬銅，她要統轄大地；
And after you it will arise a kingdom another earthward more than you and a kingdom (third *Q(k)*) another of bronze the which it will rule over all earth the.
40 相繼而來的是第四個，堅強如鐵的國家，就如鐵能粉碎擊破一切，這個國家也要如鐵粉碎擊破一切，
And a kingdom (fourth *Q(k)*) it will be strong like iron as to because that iron the [is] shattering and [is] crushing everything and like iron which [is] crushing all these it will shatter so it may crush.
41 至於你見腳和趾，一部分是泥，一部分是鐵，表示這個國家必要分裂，然而國內仍有鐵的堅強，正如你見鐵與泥相混一樣。
And that you saw feet the and toes the (some of them *Q(K)*) clay of a potter (and some of them *Q(K)*) iron a kingdom divided it will be and some of firmness the of iron the it will be in it as to because that you saw iron the mixed with [the] clay of clay the.
42 腳趾一部分是鐵，一部份是泥，表示這個國家一部分強，一部分弱。
And [the] toes of feet the (some of them *Q(K)*) iron (and some of them *Q(K)*) clay from [the] part of kingdom the it will be strong and from it it will be breakable.
43 你見鐵與泥混合，是說他們要與其他人種相混合，但是彼此不能相合，就如鐵不能與泥相混合一樣。
(And that *Q(K)*) you saw iron the mixed with [the] clay of clay the mixing they will be with [the] offspring of humankind and not they will be clinging this with this here! like that iron not [is] mixing with clay.
44 在這些君王時代，上天的大主必要興起一個永不滅亡的國家，她的王權也決不歸於其他民族，她要粉碎和毀滅這一切邦國，惟獨她永存弗替，
And in days their of kings the those he will set up [the] God of heavens the a kingdom which for ever not it will be destroyed and kingdom the to a people another not it will be left it will shatter so it may put an end to all these kingdoms the and it it will endure for ever.
45 就如你所見那塊未經手鑿，即從山上滾下的石頭，把鐵、銅、泥、銀和金打得粉碎一樣。偉大的天主已曉諭了大王，今後將要發生的事。這夢是真實的，夢的解釋也是正確的。」
As to because that you saw that from mountain it was cut out a stone which not [was] by hands and it shattered iron the bronze the clay the silver the and gold the God great he has made known to king the what that it will be after this and [is] certain dream the and [is] trustworthy interpretation its.
46 拿步高於是俯首至地，叩拜達尼爾，下令給他奉上禮物和香品，
Then king the Nebuchadnezzar he fell on face his and to Daniel he paid homage and offering and soothing offerings he said to offer in sacrifice to him.
47 然後開口對達尼爾說：「的確，你們的天主是萬神的天主，萬王的主宰，奧秘的啟示者，因為你能啟示這個奧秘。」
[was] replying King the to Daniel and [was] saying from truth that God your he [is the] God of gods and [the] lord of kings and [one who] reveals secrets that you have been able to reveal secret the this.
48 王遂擢升達尼爾，賞賜他很多珍貴的禮品，派他治理巴比倫全省，做巴比倫所有智者的首領。
Then king the Daniel he made great and gifts great many he gave to him and he made ruler him over all [the] province of Babylon and chief of prefects over all [the] wise men of Babylon.
49 達尼爾要求君王委任沙得辣客、默沙客和阿貝得乃哥掌管巴比倫省的政務；達尼爾自己卻留在朝廷內。
And Daniel he asked from king the and he appointed over administration the of [the] province of Babylon Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego and Daniel [was] in [the] gate king the.
