但以理书 7
1 巴比伦王伯沙撒元年，但以理在床上做梦，见了脑中的异象，就记录这梦，述说其中的大意。
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel has seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then he has written the dream, the chief of the things he has said.
2 但以理说： 我夜里见异象，看见天的四风陡起，刮在大海之上。
Daniel has answered and said, “I was seeing in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the Great Sea;
3 有四个大兽从海中上来，形状各有不同：
and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse from one another.
4 头一个像狮子，有鹰的翅膀；我正观看的时候，兽的翅膀被拔去，兽从地上得立起来，用两脚站立，像人一样，又得了人心。
The first [is] like a lion, and it has an eagle’s wings. I was seeing until its wings have been plucked, and it has been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it has been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it.
5 又有一兽如熊，就是第二兽，旁跨而坐，口齿内衔着三根肋骨。有吩咐这兽的说：“起来吞吃多肉。”
And behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it has been raised, and three ribs [are] in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume much flesh.
6 此后我观看，又有一兽如豹，背上有鸟的四个翅膀；这兽有四个头，又得了权柄。
After this I was seeing, and behold, another like a leopard, and it has four wings of a bird on its back, and the beast has four heads, and dominion is given to it.
7 其后我在夜间的异象中观看，见第四兽甚是可怕，极其强壮，大有力量，有大铁牙，吞吃嚼碎，所剩下的用脚践踏。这兽与前三兽大不相同，头有十角。
After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it has very great iron teeth, it has consumed, indeed, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it has ten horns.
8 我正观看这些角，见其中又长起一个小角；先前的角中有三角在这角前，连根被它拔出来。这角有眼，像人的眼，有口说夸大的话。
I was considering about the horns, and behold, another horn, a little one, has come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and behold, eyes as the eyes of man [are] in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 我观看， 见有宝座设立， 上头坐着亘古常在者。 他的衣服洁白如雪， 头发如纯净的羊毛。 宝座乃火焰， 其轮乃烈火。
I was seeing until thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment [is] white as snow, and the hair of His head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels burning fire.
10 从他面前有火，像河发出； 事奉他的有千千， 在他面前侍立的有万万； 他坐着要行审判， 案卷都展开了。
A flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, one million serve Him and one hundred million rise up before Him, judgment has been set, and the scrolls have been opened.
11 那时我观看，见那兽因小角说夸大话的声音被杀，身体损坏，扔在火中焚烧。
I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing until the beast is slain, and his body has been destroyed, and given to the burning fire;
12 其余的兽，权柄都被夺去，生命却仍存留，直到所定的时候和日期。
and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, until a season and a time.
13 我在夜间的异象中观看， 见有一位像人子的， 驾着天云而来， 被领到亘古常在者面前，
I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, [One] like a Son of Man was coming with the clouds of the heavens, and to the Ancient of Days He has come, and before Him they have brought Him near.
14 得了权柄、荣耀、国度， 使各方、各国、各族的人都事奉他。 他的权柄是永远的，不能废去； 他的国必不败坏。
And to Him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages serve Him, His dominion [is] a continuous dominion, that does not pass away, and His kingdom that which is not destroyed.
15 至于我—但以理，我的灵在我里面愁烦，我脑中的异象使我惊惶。
My spirit has been pierced—I, Daniel—in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;
16 我就近一位侍立者，问他这一切的真情。他就告诉我，将那事的讲解给我说明：
I have drawn near to one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he has spoken to me, indeed, the interpretation of the things he has caused me to know:
17 这四个大兽就是四王将要在世上兴起。
These great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings, they rise up from the earth;
18 然而，至高者的圣民，必要得国享受，直到永永远远。
and the saints of the Most High receive the kingdom, and they strengthen the kingdom for all time, even for all time and all ages.
19 那时我愿知道第四兽的真情，它为何与那三兽的真情大不相同，甚是可怕，有铁牙铜爪，吞吃嚼碎，所剩下的用脚践踏；
Then I wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, exceedingly fearful; its teeth of iron, and its nails of bronze, it has devoured, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet;
20 头有十角和那另长的一角，在这角前有三角被它打落。这角有眼，有说夸大话的口，形状强横，过于它的同类。
and concerning the ten horns that [are] in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that has eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions.
21 我观看，见这角与圣民争战，胜了他们。
I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and has prevailed over them,
22 直到亘古常在者来给至高者的圣民伸冤，圣民得国的时候就到了。
until the Ancient of Days has come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time has come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.
23 那侍立者这样说： 第四兽就是世上必有的第四国， 与一切国大不相同， 必吞吃全地， 并且践踏嚼碎。
Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumes all the earth, and treads it down, and breaks it small.
24 至于那十角，就是从这国中必兴起的十王， 后来又兴起一王， 与先前的不同； 他必制伏三王。
And the ten horns out of the kingdom [are] ten kings, they rise, and another rises after them, and it is diverse from the former, and it humbles three kings;
25 他必向至高者说夸大的话， 必折磨至高者的圣民， 必想改变节期和律法。 圣民必交付他手一载、二载、半载。
and it speaks words as an adversary of the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it hopes to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, until a time, and times, and a division of a time.
26 然而，审判者必坐着行审判； 他的权柄必被夺去， 毁坏，灭绝，一直到底。
And judgment is set, and they cause his dominion to pass away, to perish, and to be destroyed—to the end;
27 国度、权柄，和天下诸国的大权 必赐给至高者的圣民。 他的国是永远的； 一切掌权的都必事奉他，顺从他。
and the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people—the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and all dominions serve and obey Him.
28 那事至此完毕。至于我—但以理，心中甚是惊惶，脸色也改变了，却将那事存记在心。
Here [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, [am] greatly troubled [by] my thoughts, and my countenance is changed on me, and I have kept the matter in my heart.”
