但以理书 8
1 伯沙撒王在位第三年，有异象现与我—但以理，是在先前所见的异象之后。
In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar, a vision appeared to me. I Daniel, after what I had seen in the beginning,
2 我见了异象的时候，我以为在以拦省书珊城中；我见异象又如在乌莱河边。
Saw in my vision when I was in the castle of Susa, which is in the province of Elam: and I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.
3 我举目观看，见有双角的公绵羊站在河边，两角都高。这角高过那角，更高的是后长的。
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold a ram stood before the water, having two high horns, and one higher than the other, and growing up. Afterward
4 我见那公绵羊往西、往北、往南抵触。兽在它面前都站立不住，也没有能救护脱离它手的；但它任意而行，自高自大。
I saw the ram pushing with his horns against the west, and against the north, and against the south: and no beasts could withstand him, nor be delivered out of his hand: and he did according to his own will, and became great.
5 我正思想的时候，见有一只公山羊从西而来，遍行全地，脚不沾尘。这山羊两眼当中有一非常的角。
And I understood: and behold a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and he touched not the ground, and the he goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 它往我所看见、站在河边有双角的公绵羊那里去，大发忿怒，向它直闯。
And he went up to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.
7 我见公山羊就近公绵羊，向它发烈怒，抵触它，折断它的两角。绵羊在它面前站立不住；它将绵羊触倒在地，用脚践踏，没有能救绵羊脱离它手的。
And when he was come near the ram, he was enraged against him, and struck the ram: and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him: and when he had cast him down on the ground, he stamped upon him, and none could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 这山羊极其自高自大，正强盛的时候，那大角折断了，又在角根上向天的四方长出四个非常的角来。
And the he goat became exceeding great: and when he was grown, the great horn was broken, and there came up four horns under it towards the four winds of heaven.
9 四角之中有一角长出一个小角，向南、向东、向荣美之地，渐渐成为强大。
And out of one of them came forth a little horn: and it became great against the south, and against the east, and against the strength.
10 它渐渐强大，高及天象，将些天象和星宿抛落在地，用脚践踏。
And it was magnified even unto the strength of heaven: and it threw down of the strength, and of the stars, and trod upon them.
11 并且它自高自大，以为高及天象之君；除掉常献给君的燔祭，毁坏君的圣所。
And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
12 因罪过的缘故，有军旅和常献的燔祭交付它。它将真理抛在地上，任意而行，无不顺利。
And strength was given him against the continual sacrifice, because of sins: and truth shall be cast down on the ground, and he shall do and shall prosper.
13 我听见有一位圣者说话，又有一位圣者问那说话的圣者说：“这除掉常献的燔祭和施行毁坏的罪过，将圣所与军旅践踏的异象，要到几时才应验呢？”
And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to another, I know not to whom that was speaking: How long shall be the vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden under foot?
14 他对我说：“到二千三百日，圣所就必洁净。”
And he said to him: Unto evening and morning two thousand three hundred days: and the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
15 我—但以理见了这异象，愿意明白其中的意思。忽有一位形状像人的站在我面前。
And it came to pass when I Daniel saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man.
16 我又听见乌莱河两岸中有人声呼叫说：“加百列啊，要使此人明白这异象。”
And I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 他便来到我所站的地方。他一来，我就惊慌俯伏在地；他对我说：“人子啊，你要明白，因为这是关乎末后的异象。”
And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I fell on my face trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man, for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled.
18 他与我说话的时候，我面伏在地沉睡；他就摸我，扶我站起来，
And when he spoke to me I fell flat on the ground: and he touched me, and set me upright,
19 说：“我要指示你恼怒临完必有的事，因为这是关乎末后的定期。
And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end.
20 你所看见双角的公绵羊，就是米底亚和波斯王。
The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
21 那公山羊就是希腊王；两眼当中的大角就是头一王。
And the he goat, is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn that was between his eyes, the same is the first king.
22 至于那折断了的角，在其根上又长出四角，这四角就是四国，必从这国里兴起来，只是权势都不及他。
But whereas when that was broken, there arose up four for it: four kings shall rise up of his nation, but not with his strength.
23 这四国末时，犯法的人罪恶满盈，必有一王兴起，面貌凶恶，能用双关的诈语。
And after their reign, when iniquities shall be grown up, there shall arise a king of a shameless face, and understanding dark sentences.
24 他的权柄必大，却不是因自己的能力；他必行非常的毁灭，事情顺利，任意而行；又必毁灭有能力的和圣民。
And his power shall be strengthened, but not by his own force: and he shall lay all things waste, and shall prosper, and do more than can be believed. And he shall destroy the mighty, and the people of the saints,
25 他用权术成就手中的诡计，心里自高自大，在人坦然无备的时候，毁灭多人；又要站起来攻击万君之君，至终却非因人手而灭亡。
According to his will, and craft shall be successful in his hand: and his heart shall be puffed up, and in the abundance of all things he shall kill many: and he shall rise up against the prince of princes, and shall be broken without hand.
26 所说二千三百日的异象是真的，但你要将这异象封住，因为关乎后来许多的日子。”
And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true: thou therefore seal up the vision, because it shall come to pass after many days.
27 于是我—但以理昏迷不醒，病了数日，然后起来办理王的事务。我因这异象惊奇，却无人能明白其中的意思。
And I Daniel languished, and was sick for some days: and when I was risen up, I did the king’s business, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none that could interpret it.
