Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
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, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
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 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河边，
5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
举目观看，见有一人身穿细麻衣，腰束乌法精金带。
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like 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 alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
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 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me 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 heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
我却听见他说话的声音，一听见就面伏在地沉睡了。
10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
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 unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, 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 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy Elohim, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy 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 Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
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 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is 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 such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
他向我这样说，我就脸面朝地，哑口无声。
16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my master, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained 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 For how can the servant of this my master talk with this my master? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there 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 Then there came again and touched me one like 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, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my master speak; for thou hast 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 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
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 shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, 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。”
