但以理書 10
1 波斯王塞魯士第三年，有事顯給稱為伯提沙撒的但以理。這事是真的，是指着大爭戰；但以理通達這事，明白這異象。
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he has understood the thing, and has understanding about the appearance.
2 當那時，我－但以理悲傷了三個七日。
“In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;
3 美味我沒有吃，酒肉沒有入我的口，也沒有用油抹我的身，直到滿了三個七日。
I have not eaten desirable bread, and no flesh and wine came into my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, until the completion of three weeks of days.
4 正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河邊，
And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
5 舉目觀看，見有一人身穿細麻衣，腰束烏法精金帶。
and I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz,
6 他身體如水蒼玉，面貌如閃電，眼目如火把，手和腳如光明的銅，說話的聲音如大眾的聲音。
and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright bronze, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
7 這異象惟有我－但以理一人看見，同着我的人沒有看見。他們卻大大戰兢，逃跑隱藏，
And I, Daniel, have seen the vision by myself, and the men who have been with me have not seen the vision, but a great trembling has fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;
8 只剩下我一人。我見了這大異象便渾身無力，面貌失色，毫無氣力。
and I have been left by myself, and I see this great vision, and there has been no power left in me, and my splendor has been turned in me to corruption, indeed, I have not retained power.
9 我卻聽見他說話的聲音，一聽見就面伏在地沉睡了。
And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face [is] to the earth;
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 has come against me, and shakes me on my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 他對我說：「大蒙眷愛的但以理啊，要明白我與你所說的話，只管站起來，因為我現在奉差遣來到你這裏。」他對我說這話，我便戰戰兢兢地立起來。
And he says to me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking to you, and stand on your station, for now I have been sent to you. And when he speaks with me this word, I have stood trembling.
12 他就說：「但以理啊，不要懼怕！因為從你第一日專心求明白將來的事，又在你上帝面前刻苦己心，你的言語已蒙應允；我是因你的言語而來。
And he says to me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.
13 但波斯國的魔君攔阻我二十一日。忽然有大君中的一位米迦勒來幫助我，我就停留在波斯諸王那裏。
And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing in opposition in front of me [for] twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, first of the chief heads, has come to help me, and I have remained there near the kings of Persia;
14 現在我來，要使你明白本國之民日後必遭遇的事，因為這異象關乎後來許多的日子。」
and I have come to cause you to understand that which happens to your people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.
15 他向我這樣說，我就臉面朝地，啞口無聲。
And when he speaks with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
16 不料，有一位像人的，摸我的嘴唇，我便開口向那站在我面前的說：「我主啊，因見這異象，我大大愁苦，毫無氣力。
and behold, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say to him who is standing in opposition in front of me: My lord, by the vision my pangs have been turned against me, and I have retained no power.
17 我主的僕人怎能與我主說話呢？我一見異象就渾身無力，毫無氣息。」
And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? As for me, from now on there remains in me no power, indeed, breath has not been left in me.
18 有一位形狀像人的又摸我，使我有力量。
And he adds, and strikes against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengthens me,
19 他說：「大蒙眷愛的人哪，不要懼怕，願你平安！你總要堅強。」他一向我說話，我便覺得有力量，說：「我主請說，因你使我有力量。」
and he says: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to you, be strong, indeed, be strong; and when he speaks with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.
20 他就說：「你知道我為何來見你嗎？現在我要回去與波斯的魔君爭戰，我去後，希臘的魔君必來。
And he says, Have you known why I have come to you? And now I return to fight with the head of Persia; indeed, I am going forth, and behold, the head of Javan has come;
21 但我要將那錄在真確書上的事告訴你。除了你們的大君米迦勒之外，沒有幫助我抵擋這兩魔君的。」
but I declare to you that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.”
