Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the summary of it.
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 spoke and said, "I saw in my vision by night, and, look, the four winds of the sky broke forth on 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 Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
有四个大兽从海中上来，形状各有不同：
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I saw until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man; and a man's mind was given to it.
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 look, another animal, a second one, like a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it, 'Arise, devour 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 saw, and look, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
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 night visions, and look, a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and extremely strong. And it had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. And it was diverse from all the animals that were before it; and it had ten horns.
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 I considered the horns, and look, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And look, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogant 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 saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels 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 fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court sat in judgment, and the books were 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 I saw at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I was watching until the animal was killed and its body destroyed and was given to be burned with 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 for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
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 I saw in the night visions, and look, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near 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 There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not 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 As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my mind troubled me.
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 I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the true meaning concerning all this. So he told me, and revealed to 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 animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.
这四个大兽就是四王将要在世上兴起。
18 But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.
然而，至高者的圣民，必要得国享受，直到永永远远。
19 Then I desired to know the true meaning concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its claws of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet.
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 And concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogant things, whose look was larger than the others.
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 saw, and the same horn made war with the holy ones, and prevailed against them,
我观看，见这角与圣民争战，胜了他们。
22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came that the holy ones possessed the kingdom.
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 This he said, 'The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break 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 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise, and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down 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 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall oppress the holy ones of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given over to him until a time and times and half a 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 And the court shall sit in judgment, and they shall take away his dominion, consumed and completely destroyed forever.
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 The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve 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 Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. I kept the matter to myself."
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。
