Daniel 7
1 In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter.
巴比伦王伯沙撒元年，但以理在床上做梦，见了脑中的异象，就记录这梦，述说其中的大意。
2 Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea:
但以理说： 我夜里见异象，看见天的四风陡起，刮在大海之上。
3 And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another.
有四个大兽从海中上来，形状各有不同：
4 The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him.
头一个像狮子，有鹰的翅膀；我正观看的时候，兽的翅膀被拔去，兽从地上得立起来，用两脚站立，像人一样，又得了人心。
5 And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh.
又有一兽如熊，就是第二兽，旁跨而坐，口齿内衔着三根肋骨。有吩咐这兽的说：“起来吞吃多肉。”
6 After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him.
此后我观看，又有一兽如豹，背上有鸟的四个翅膀；这兽有四个头，又得了权柄。
7 After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes.
其后我在夜间的异象中观看，见第四兽甚是可怕，极其强壮，大有力量，有大铁牙，吞吃嚼碎，所剩下的用脚践踏。这兽与前三兽大不相同，头有十角。
8 As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
我正观看这些角，见其中又长起一个小角；先前的角中有三角在这角前，连根被它拔出来。这角有眼，像人的眼，有口说夸大的话。
9 I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
我观看， 见有宝座设立， 上头坐着亘古常在者。 他的衣服洁白如雪， 头发如纯净的羊毛。 宝座乃火焰， 其轮乃烈火。
10 A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened.
从他面前有火，像河发出； 事奉他的有千千， 在他面前侍立的有万万； 他坐着要行审判， 案卷都展开了。
11 Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire.
那时我观看，见那兽因小角说夸大话的声音被杀，身体损坏，扔在火中焚烧。
12 As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season.
其余的兽，权柄都被夺去，生命却仍存留，直到所定的时候和日期。
13 As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him.
我在夜间的异象中观看， 见有一位像人子的， 驾着天云而来， 被领到亘古常在者面前，
14 And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed.
得了权柄、荣耀、国度， 使各方、各国、各族的人都事奉他。 他的权柄是永远的，不能废去； 他的国必不败坏。
15 I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide.
至于我—但以理，我的灵在我里面愁烦，我脑中的异象使我惊惶。
16 Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things.
我就近一位侍立者，问他这一切的真情。他就告诉我，将那事的讲解给我说明：
17 These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
这四个大兽就是四王将要在世上兴起。
18 And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer.
然而，至高者的圣民，必要得国享受，直到永永远远。
19 After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete.
那时我愿知道第四兽的真情，它为何与那三兽的真情大不相同，甚是可怕，有铁牙铜爪，吞吃嚼碎，所剩下的用脚践踏；
20 Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes.
头有十角和那另长的一角，在这角前有三角被它打落。这角有眼，有说夸大话的口，形状强横，过于它的同类。
21 I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them,
我观看，见这角与圣民争战，胜了他们。
22 Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome.
直到亘古常在者来给至高者的圣民伸冤，圣民得国的时候就到了。
23 Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces.
那侍立者这样说： 第四兽就是世上必有的第四国， 与一切国大不相同， 必吞吃全地， 并且践踏嚼碎。
24 And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings,
至于那十角，就是从这国中必兴起的十王， 后来又兴起一王， 与先前的不同； 他必制伏三王。
25 And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time.
他必向至高者说夸大的话， 必折磨至高者的圣民， 必想改变节期和律法。 圣民必交付他手一载、二载、半载。
26 But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende.
然而，审判者必坐着行审判； 他的权柄必被夺去， 毁坏，灭绝，一直到底。
27 And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him.
国度、权柄，和天下诸国的大权 必赐给至高者的圣民。 他的国是永远的； 一切掌权的都必事奉他，顺从他。
28 Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.
那事至此完毕。至于我—但以理，心中甚是惊惶，脸色也改变了，却将那事存记在心。
