Daniel 8
1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, [even to] me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
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 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I [was] at Shushan [in] the palace, which [is] in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river 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 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had [two] horns: and the [two] horns [were] high; but one [was] higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
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 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither [was there any] that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and 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 as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat [had] a notable 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 came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power.
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 I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of 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 Therefore the he-goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and in its stead came up four notable ones towards 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 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceeding great, towards the south, and towards the east, and towards the pleasant [land].
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 grew great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon 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 Yes, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
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 a host was given [him] against the daily [sacrifice] by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered.
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 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to that certain [saint] who spoke, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
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 me, Until two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary 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 And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then behold, there stood before me as 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 a man's voice between [the banks of] Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to 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 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end [shall be] the vision.
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 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face towards the ground: but he touched me, and set 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, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [shall be].
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 thou sawest having [two] horns [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
你所見具有兩角的公綿羊是瑪待和波斯君王，
21 And the rough goat [is] the king of Grecia: and the great horn that [is] between his eyes [is] 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 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
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 in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
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 power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
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 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without 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: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it [shall be] for many days.
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 fainted, and was sick [certain] days; afterward I rose, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood [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。
