Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me. After that which I had seen in the beginning, I, Daniel,
貝爾沙匝王在位第三年，在以前顯現給我的異象之後，又有異象顯現給我達尼爾。
2 saw in my vision, that I was in the capital city of Susa, which is in the region of Elam, yet I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.
我觀看這異象；我觀看時，恍惚見我在厄藍省的穌撒禁城；在神視中，我恍惚見我在烏來河畔。
3 And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a single ram stood before the marsh, having two high horns, and one was higher than the other and growing higher still.
我舉目仰視，看見有一隻公綿羊站在河畔，牠有兩隻角，這兩隻角都很高，但一隻角卻高於另一隻角，且那較高的是較晚長出來的。
4 After this, I saw the ram brandishing his horns against the West, and against the North, and against the Meridian, and all the beasts could not withstand him, nor be freed from his hand, and he did according to his own will, and he became great.
我見那隻公綿羊向西、向北、向南牴撞，走獸中沒有能抵禦牠，能擺脫牠勢力的；牠任意行事，自高自大。
5 And I understood, and behold, a he-goat among she-goats came from the West above the face of the entire earth, and he did not touch the ground. Furthermore, the he-goat had a preeminent horn between his eyes.
我定睛注視之時，看見有一隻公山羊由西而來，跑遍天下而腳不著地；這隻公山羊在兩眼之間，有一隻顯著的角。
6 And he went all the way 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.
牠來到我所見立在河畔而有兩隻角的公綿羊那裏，就憤怒地猛力向牠衝去。
7 And when he approached near to the ram, he was enraged against him, and he 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 trampled him, and no one was able to free the ram from his hand.
我見牠走近公綿羊前憤怒地觝撞牠，將牠的雙角撞斷，那公綿羊就再無力抵抗，公山羊把牠擊倒在地，用腳踐踏，竟沒有誰能救公綿羊擺脫牠的勢力。
8 But the he-goat among she-goats became exceedingly great, and when he had prospered, the great horn was shattered, and four horns were rising up beneath it by means of the four winds of heaven.
後來這公山羊長的極其強大；正當牠極強大的時候，牠那隻高大的角被折斷了，代替這角而生出來的是四隻卓絕的角，向著天下四方：
9 But from one of them came forth one little horn, and it became great against the Meridian, and against the East, and against the strength.
其中之一又生出一小角來，長得極其高大，向南、向東，亦向著光華之地。
10 And it was magnified even towards the strength of heaven, and it threw down those of the strength and of the stars, and it trampled them.
這角逐漸增高，直達天上的萬象，且把一些天象和星宿打落在地，加以蹂躪。
11 And it was magnified, even to the leader of the strength, and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.
他又自高自大，直達天象之君，取消了他的日常祭，破壞了他的聖所，且加以劫掠；
12 And the advantage was given to him against the continual sacrifice, because of the sins, and truth will be struck down to the ground, and he will act, and he will prosper.
又在獻日常祭處，安放了罪孽，將真理拋棄於地；他如此作了，也成功了。
13 And I heard one of the holy ones speaking, and one saint said to another, (I know not to whom he was speaking, ) “What is the extent of the vision, and the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation, which has happened, and of the sanctuary and the strength, which will be trampled?”
我聽見一位聖者在說話，另一位聖者問那說話的說：「關於廢除日常祭，招致毀滅的罪孽，聖所和天軍遭蹂躪的異象，要延長到何時呢﹖」
14 And he said to him, “From evening until morning, two thousand three hundred days, and so the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
那說話的回答他說：「要延長二千三百晝夜，以後聖所再要恢復原狀。」
15 But it came to pass, when I, Daniel, saw the vision and sought understanding that, behold, there stood in my sight something like the appearance of a man.
我達尼爾見了這異象之後，便渴望明瞭其中的意義；看見有一個外貌像人的立在我面前，
16 And I heard the voice of a man within Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.”
同時我聽見在烏來河中間有人的聲音呼喊說：「加俾額爾! 給這人解說這異象罷! 」
17 And he came and stood next to where I was standing, and when he approached, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for in the time of the end the vision will be fulfilled.”
他便向我站立的地方走來；我見他來近，就害怕起來，俯伏在地；他對我說：「人子，你要明白! 這異象是關於末世時期的。」
18 And when he spoke to me, I fell forward onto the ground, and so he touched me and stood me upright.
他與我說話時，我就昏迷過去了，臉伏於地上；他撫摸了我，使我起來，站在原處。
19 And he said to me, “I will reveal to you what the future things are in the earlier tribulation, for the time has its end.
他說：「看，我要把在盛怒末期將要發生的事告訴你，因為這事是關於末期的。
20 The ram, which you saw to have horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.
你所見具有兩角的公綿羊是瑪待和波斯君王，
21 Furthermore, the he-goat among she-goats is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn, which was between his eyes, is the same one, the first king.
多毛的公山羊是雅汪君王，牠兩眼之間高大的角是第一位君王，
22 And since, having been shattered, there grew four in its place, four kings will rise up from his people, but not in his strength.
代替被折斷的腳而另生出的四隻角，是指由他的民族中崛起的四個王國，但沒有前一個那樣強盛。
23 And after their reign, when iniquities will be increased, there will arise a king of shameless face and understanding negotiations.
在他們王國的末期，惡貫滿盈之時，要興起一位面貌凶惡，詭計多端的君王。
24 And his advantage will be strengthened, but not by his kind of force, and other than what he will be able to trust, everything will be eradicated, and he will prosper, and he will act. And he will execute the successful and the people of the saints,
他必勢力強大，但那力量不是出於自己；他卻有驚人的破壞力，他所行的無不成功，要摧毀強有力者和聖民，
25 according to his will, and treachery will be guided by his hand. And his heart will be inflated, and by the abundance of everything he will kill many, and he will rise up against the Lord of lords, and he will be knocked down without a hand.
憑自己的機智必攻擊聖民，靠自己的權術獲得成功；他心中妄自尊大，趁人不備而毀滅許多人民，且起而攻擊萬君之君，但終於未經人手而自趨崩潰。
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true. Therefore, you must seal the vision, because, after many days, it will occur.”
關於所說的晝夜數目的異象，是真實的，但你對這異象要保守秘密，因為是關於遙遠日期的事而說的。」
27 And I, Daniel, languished and was sick for some days, and when I had lifted myself up, I performed the king’s works, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none who could interpret it.
我達尼爾疲憊患病數日，然後纔起來處理君王的政務。我對這異象仍驚奇不已，因我不能明白其中的意義。
