Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Baltasar; and the thing was true, and great power and understanding in the vision was given to him.
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。
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
当那时，我—但以理悲伤了三个七日。
3 I ate no pleasant bread, and no flesh or wine entered into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself with oil, until three whole weeks were accomplished.
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。
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.
正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河边，
5 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with gold of Ophaz:
举目观看，见有一人身穿细麻衣，腰束乌法精金带。
6 and his body was as Tharsis, and his face was a the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
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。
7 And I Daniel only saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear.
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，
8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength.
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。
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard him I was pricked [in the heart], and [I fell with] my face to the earth.
我却听见他说话的声音，一听见就面伏在地沉睡了。
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees.
忽然，有一手按在我身上，使我用膝和手掌支持微起。
11 And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to you, and stand upright: for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken to me this word, I stood trembling.
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。
12 And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to afflict yourself before the Lord your God, they words were heard, and I am come because of your words.
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。
13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:
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。
14 and I have come to inform you of all that shall befall your people in the last days: for the vision is yet for [many] days.
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。”
15 And when he had spoken with me according to these words, I turned my face to the ground, and was pricked [in the heart].
他向我这样说，我就脸面朝地，哑口无声。
16 And, behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O [my] lord, at the sight of you my bowels were turned within me, and I had no strength.
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。
17 And how shall your servant be able, O [my] lord, to speak with this my lord? and as for me, from henceforth strength will not remain in me, and there is no breath left in me.
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。”
18 And there touched me again as it were the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
有一位形状像人的又摸我，使我有力量。
19 and said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to you, quit yourself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, and said, Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.
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。”
20 And he said, Know you, therefore I am come to you? and now I will return to fight with the prince of the Persians: and I was going in, and the prince of the Greeks came.
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。
21 But I will tell you that which is ordained in the scripture of truth: and there is no one that holds with me in these matters but Michael your prince.
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。”
