但以理書 8
1 貝爾沙匝王在位第三年，在以前顯現給我的異象之後，又有異象顯現給我達尼爾。
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, to me Daniel, after that which had appeared unto me at the first.
2 我觀看這異象；我觀看時，恍惚見我在厄藍省的穌撒禁城；在神視中，我恍惚見我在烏來河畔。
And I saw in the vision—and it came to pass, in my seeing, that I was at Shushan the capital, which is in the province of 'Elam; —and I saw in the vision, as though I was by the river Ulai.
3 我舉目仰視，看見有一隻公綿羊站在河畔，牠有兩隻角，這兩隻角都很高，但一隻角卻高於另一隻角，且那較高的是較晚長出來的。
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there was a ram standing before the river, and he had two horns; and the horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.
4 我見那隻公綿羊向西、向北、向南牴撞，走獸中沒有能抵禦牠，能擺脫牠勢力的；牠任意行事，自高自大。
I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; so that all the beasts could not stand before him, and no one was there to deliver out of his hand: and he did according to his will, and became great.
5 我定睛注視之時，看見有一隻公山羊由西而來，跑遍天下而腳不著地；這隻公山羊在兩眼之間，有一隻顯著的角。
And as I was looking attentively, behold, there came a shaggy, he-goat from the west over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a sightly large horn between his eyes.
6 牠來到我所見立在河畔而有兩隻角的公綿羊那裏，就憤怒地猛力向牠衝去。
And he came as far as the ram that had two horns, that I had seen standing before the river, and ran at him with his furious power.
7 我見牠走近公綿羊前憤怒地觝撞牠，將牠的雙角撞斷，那公綿羊就再無力抵抗，公山羊把牠擊倒在地，用腳踐踏，竟沒有誰能救公綿羊擺脫牠的勢力。
And I saw him coming close unto the ram, and he became bitterly enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand forward before him: and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and there was no one to deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 後來這公山羊長的極其強大；正當牠極強大的時候，牠那隻高大的角被折斷了，代替這角而生出來的是四隻卓絕的角，向著天下四方：
And the shaggy he-goat became very great: but when he was grown strong, the great horn was broken; and there came up four slightly large ones in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
9 其中之一又生出一小角來，長得極其高大，向南、向東，亦向著光華之地。
And out of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
10 這角逐漸增高，直達天上的萬象，且把一些天象和星宿打落在地，加以蹂躪。
And it became great, even up to the host of the heavens; and it cast down to the ground some of the host and of the stars, and trod them under foot.
11 他又自高自大，直達天象之君，取消了他的日常祭，破壞了他的聖所，且加以劫掠；
Yea, it magnified itself even up to the prince of the host, and by it the continual sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 又在獻日常祭處，安放了罪孽，將真理拋棄於地；他如此作了，也成功了。
And the host is given up together with the continual sacrifice, by reason of transgression: and it casteth down the truth to the ground, and it doth [this], and is prosperous.
13 我聽見一位聖者在說話，另一位聖者問那說話的說：「關於廢除日常祭，招致毀滅的罪孽，聖所和天軍遭蹂躪的異象，要延長到何時呢﹖」
Then did I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a holy one said unto the unknown one who was speaking, For how long is the vision concerning the continual sacrifice, and the wasting transgression, to give up both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 那說話的回答他說：「要延長二千三百晝夜，以後聖所再要恢復原狀。」
And he said unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings, when the sanctuary shall be justified.
15 我達尼爾見了這異象之後，便渴望明瞭其中的意義；看見有一個外貌像人的立在我面前，
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought for understanding, that, behold, there was standing opposite to me something like the appearance of a man.
16 同時我聽見在烏來河中間有人的聲音呼喊說：「加俾額爾! 給這人解說這異象罷! 」
And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ulai, and it called, and said, Gabriel, cause this one to understand this appearance.
17 他便向我站立的地方走來；我見他來近，就害怕起來，俯伏在地；他對我說：「人子，你要明白! 這異象是關於末世時期的。」
So he came close to where I stood: and when he came, I was terrified, and I fell upon my face; but he said unto me, Mark it well, O son of man; because for the time of the end is the vision.
18 他與我說話時，我就昏迷過去了，臉伏於地上；他撫摸了我，使我起來，站在原處。
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell down in amazement on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright where I had been standing.
19 他說：「看，我要把在盛怒末期將要發生的事告訴你，因為這事是關於末期的。
And he said, Behold, I will make known unto thee what is to be at the last end of the indignation; for it is for the appointed time of the end.
20 你所見具有兩角的公綿羊是瑪待和波斯君王，
The ram that thou hast seen, him with the two horns, [signifieth] the kings of Media and Persia.
21 多毛的公山羊是雅汪君王，牠兩眼之間高大的角是第一位君王，
And the shaggy he-goat is the king of Javan; and the great horn which is between his eyes is the first king.
22 代替被折斷的腳而另生出的四隻角，是指由他的民族中崛起的四個王國，但沒有前一個那樣強盛。
But that it was broken, and that four sprung up in its stead, [signifieth that] four kingdoms will spring up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 在他們王國的末期，惡貫滿盈之時，要興起一位面貌凶惡，詭計多端的君王。
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have filled their measure of guilt, there will arise a king of an impudent face, and understanding deep schemes.
24 他必勢力強大，但那力量不是出於自己；他卻有驚人的破壞力，他所行的無不成功，要摧毀強有力者和聖民，
And his power will be mighty, but not by his own power; and he will destroy wonderfully, and will prosper while he doth [this]; and he will destroy very many and the people of the saints.
25 憑自己的機智必攻擊聖民，靠自己的權術獲得成功；他心中妄自尊大，趁人不備而毀滅許多人民，且起而攻擊萬君之君，但終於未經人手而自趨崩潰。
And through his intelligence, and because he prospereth, is craftiness in his hand; and in his heart will he magnify himself, and in peace will he destroy many: he will also stand up against the Prince of princes; but without a human hand will he be broken.
26 關於所說的晝夜數目的異象，是真實的，但你對這異象要保守秘密，因為是關於遙遠日期的事而說的。」
And the appearance of the evening and the morning which was spoken of is true: but do thou keep the vision closed up;
27 我達尼爾疲憊患病數日，然後纔起來處理君王的政務。我對這異象仍驚奇不已，因我不能明白其中的意義。
And I Daniel grieved, and was sick several days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was depressed because of the appearance; but no one observed it.
