Daniel 10
1 In the third yeere of Cyrus King of Persia, a thing was reueiled vnto Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar) and the worde was true, but the time appointed was long, and he vnderstood the thing, and had vnderstanding of the vision.
波斯王居魯士第三年，那名叫貝耳特沙匝的達尼爾得了一個啟示，這啟示是真實的，是有關一場大戰的事；達尼爾注意了這事，也明白了這異象。
2 At the same time I Daniel was in heauines for three weekes of dayes.
在這些日子裏，我達尼爾憂悶了三個星期，
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint my selfe at all, till three weekes of dayes were fulfilled.
我食不知味，酒肉也沒有沾過唇，也沒有用油抹過身，直到滿了三個星期。
4 And in the foure and twentieth day of the first moneth, as I was by the side of that great riuer, euen Hiddekel,
正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河邊時，
5 And I lift vp mine eyes, and looked, and beholde, there was a man clothed in linnen, whose loynes were girded with fine golde of Vphaz.
我舉目觀望：看見有一個人身穿麻衣，腰束敖非爾金帶，
6 His body also was like the Chrysolite, and his face (to looke vpon) like the lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his armes and his feete were like in colour to polished brasse, and the voyce of his wordes was like the voyce of a multitude.
他的身體好像碧玉，他的面容好似閃電，他的眼睛有如火炬，他的手臂和腿有如磨光了的銅，他說話的聲音彷彿群眾的喧嚷。
7 And I Daniel alone sawe the vision: for the men that were with me, sawe not the vision: but a great feare fell vpon them, so that they fled away and hid themselues.
惟獨我達尼爾看見了這異象，隨從我的人都沒有看見，只有一種巨大的恐怖臨到他們身上，因而他們都逃避隱藏了。
8 Therefore I was left alone, and sawe this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my strength was turned in me into corruption, and I reteined no power.
只留下我一個人，獨自觀看這巨大的異象；我頓時全身無力，容貌改變，面色蒼白，沒有一點氣力，
9 Yet heard I the voyce of his wordes: and when I heard the voyce of his wordes, I slept on my face: and my face was toward the ground.
但仍能聽到他說話的聲音；一聽到他說話的聲音，我就昏迷過去，俯伏於地。
10 And behold, an hand touched me, which set me vp vpon my knees and vpon the palmes of mine hands.
忽然有一隻手觸摸我，使我用膝和手掌勉強支持，
11 And he sayde vnto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloued, vnderstand the wordes that I speake vnto thee, and stand in thy place: for vnto thee am I nowe sent. And when hee had sayde this worde vnto me, I stood trembling.
然後他對我說：「達尼爾，最可愛的人! 你要明白我對你所說的話! 你站起來，因為我現在是被派到你這裏來的。」他對說這話時，我站立起來，渾身戰慄。
12 Then sayd he vnto me, Feare not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou diddest set thine heart to vnderstand, and to humble thy selfe before thy God, thy wordes were heard, and I am come for thy wordes.
他又對我說：「達尼爾，你不要害怕! 因為自從你下決心要明白此事，在你的天主前，自卑自賤的第一天以來，你的祈禱就得蒙應允，我就是因你的祈禱而來的。
13 But the prince of the kingdome of Persia withstoode me one and twentie dayes: but loe, Michael one of the chiefe princes, came to helpe me, and I remained there by the Kings of Persia.
但是波斯國的護守天使卻反對我，使我在波斯國護守天使那裏滯留了二十一天，後來忽有總領護守天使之一的彌額爾前來協助我，
14 Nowe I am come to shewe thee what shall come to thy people in the latter dayes: for yet the vision is for many dayes.
我纔來了，為叫你明白，你的百姓在末日所要遭遇的事，因為這神視是有關那未來之日的。」
15 And when he spake these wordes vnto me, I set my face towarde the grounde, and helde my tongue.
他對我說這些話時，我俯首至地，啞口無言。
16 And beholde, one like the similitude of the sonnes of man touched my lippes: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said vnto him that stoode before me, O my Lord, by the vision my sorowes are returned vpon me, and I haue reteined no strength.
忽然有個像人子的手，觸摸了我的唇，我便開口向那站在我面前的說道：「我主! 由於這異象，我又感到非常痛苦，沒有一點氣力。
17 For howe can the seruant of this my Lord talke with my Lord being such one? for as for me, straight way there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
我主的這個僕人如何能同我主說話﹖因為我現在全身無力，連呼吸也沒有了。」
18 Then there came againe, and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
那像人子的又撫摸了我，堅固我，
19 And said, O man, greatly beloued, feare not: peace be vnto thee: be strong and of good courage. And when he had spoken vnto me, I was strengthened, and saide, Let my Lord speake: for thou hast strengthened me.
說：「極可愛的! 不要害怕! 願你平安! 鼓起勇氣，振作精神! 」他一對我說話，我立刻覺得有了力量，於是我說：「我主，請你發言罷! 因為你堅固了我。」
20 Then saide he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come vnto thee? but nowe will I returne to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, loe, the prince of Grecia shall come.
他於是說：「你知道我為什麼到你這裏來﹖現在我要回去，同波斯的護守天使交戰。我一去，希臘的護守天使就會前來。
21 But I will shew thee that which is decreeed in the Scripture of trueth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
我要把載於真理書上的事告訴你。除了你們的護守天使彌額爾外，沒有前來協助我的。
