但以理书 10
1 波斯王塞鲁士第三年，有事显给称为伯提沙撒的但以理。这事是真的，是指着大争战；但以理通达这事，明白这异象。
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar, and the thing was true, even a great warfare. And he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 当那时，我—但以理悲伤了三个七日。
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
3 美味我没有吃，酒肉没有入我的口，也没有用油抹我的身，直到满了三个七日。
I ate no pleasant bread. Neither flesh nor wine came into my mouth. Neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河边，
And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
5 举目观看，见有一人身穿细麻衣，腰束乌法精金带。
I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz.
6 他身体如水苍玉，面貌如闪电，眼目如火把，手和脚如光明的铜，说话的声音如大众的声音。
Also his body was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 这异象惟有我—但以理一人看见，同着我的人没有看见。他们却大大战兢，逃跑隐藏，
And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great quaking fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 只剩下我一人。我见了这大异象便浑身无力，面貌失色，毫无气力。
So I was left alone, and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for my fitness was turned in me into debility, and I retained no strength.
9 我却听见他说话的声音，一听见就面伏在地沉睡了。
Yet I heard the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 忽然，有一手按在我身上，使我用膝和手掌支持微起。
And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 他对我说：“大蒙眷爱的但以理啊，要明白我与你所说的话，只管站起来，因为我现在奉差遣来到你这里。”他对我说这话，我便战战兢兢地立起来。
And he said to me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright, for I am now sent to thee. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood, trembling.
12 他就说：“但以理啊，不要惧怕！因为从你第一日专心求明白将来的事，又在你 神面前刻苦己心，你的言语已蒙应允；我是因你的言语而来。
Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that thou set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard. And I have come for thy words' sake.
13 但波斯国的魔君拦阻我二十一日。忽然有大君中的一位米迦勒来帮助我，我就停留在波斯诸王那里。
But the ruler of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. And I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14 现在我来，要使你明白本国之民日后必遭遇的事，因为这异象关乎后来许多的日子。”
I have come now to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.
15 他向我这样说，我就脸面朝地，哑口无声。
And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was mute.
16 不料，有一位像人的，摸我的嘴唇，我便开口向那站在我面前的说：“我主啊，因见这异象，我大大愁苦，毫无气力。
And, behold, someone in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have turned upon me, and I retain no strength.
17 我主的仆人怎能与我主说话呢？我一见异象就浑身无力，毫无气息。”
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, straightaway there remained no strength in me, nor was there breath left in me.
18 有一位形状像人的又摸我，使我有力量。
Then someone like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
19 他说：“大蒙眷爱的人哪，不要惧怕，愿你平安！你总要坚强。”他一向我说话，我便觉得有力量，说：“我主请说，因你使我有力量。”
And he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not. Peace be to thee. Be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak, for thou have strengthened me.
20 他就说：“你知道我为何来见你吗？现在我要回去与波斯的魔君争战，我去后，希腊的魔君必来。
Then he said, Do thou know why I have come to thee? And now I will return to fight with the ruler of Persia. And when I go forth, lo, the ruler of Greece shall come.
21 但我要将那录在真确书上的事告诉你。除了你们的大君米迦勒之外，没有帮助我抵挡这两魔君的。”
But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. And there is none who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince.
