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 Belshazzar the king, a vision has appeared to me—I Daniel—after that which had appeared to me at 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。
And I see in a vision, and it comes to pass, in my seeing, and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream 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 lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain ram is standing before the stream, and it has two horns, and the two horns [are] high; and one [is] higher than the other, and the high one is coming up last.
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 have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no living creatures stand before it, and there is none delivering out of its hand, and it has done according to its pleasure, and has exerted itself.
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 have been considering, and behold, a young male goat has come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as for the young male goat, a conspicuous horn [is] between its 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 it comes to the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runs to it in the fury of its power.
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 I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becomes embittered at it, and strikes the ram, and breaks its two horns, and there has been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casts it to the earth, and tramples it down, and there has been no deliverer to the ram out of its power.
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 young male goat has exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, the great horn has been broken; and a vision of four comes up in its place, at the four winds of the heavens.
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 from one of them has come forth a little horn, and it exerts itself greatly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful [land];
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。
indeed, it exerts to the host of the heavens, and causes to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and tramples them down.
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 to the prince of the host it exerts itself, and the continual [sacrifice] has been taken away by it, and thrown down the base 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 the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice], through transgression, and it throws down truth to the earth, and it has worked, and prospered.
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 hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one says to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Until when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make a treading down of both sanctuary and host?
14 他对我说：“到二千三百日，圣所就必洁净。”
And he says to me, Until evening—morning two thousand and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right.
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 comes to pass in my seeing—I, Daniel—the vision, that I require understanding, and behold, standing before me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one.
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 hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and he calls and says: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand the appearance.
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 comes in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he says to me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] the vision.
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 in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he comes against me, and causes me to stand on my station,
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 says: Behold, I am causing you to know that which is in the latter end of the indignation; for at the appointed time [is] the end.
20 你所看见双角的公绵羊，就是米底亚和波斯王。
The ram that you have seen possessing two horns, [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
21 那公山羊就是希腊王；两眼当中的大角就是头一王。
And the young male goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its eyes 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。
and that being broken, four stand up in its place, four kingdoms stand up from the nation, and not in its power.
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 in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, a king stands up, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things;
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 has been mighty, and not by his own power; and he destroys wonderful things, and he has prospered, and worked, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the Holy Ones.
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。
And by his understanding he has also caused deceit to prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerts himself, and by ease he destroys many; and he stands against the Prince of princes—and he is 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 appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and you, hide the vision, for [it is] 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, have been, indeed, I became sick [for] days, and I rise, and do the king’s work, and am astonished at the appearance, and there is none understanding.”
