Daniel 8
1 'In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision hath appeared unto me — I Daniel — after that which had appeared unto me at the beginning.
伯沙撒王在位第三年，有异象现与我—但以理，是在先前所见的异象之后。
2 And I see in a vision, and it cometh to pass, in my seeing, and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream Ulai.
我见了异象的时候，我以为在以拦省书珊城中；我见异象又如在乌莱河边。
3 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain ram is standing before the stream, and it hath two horns, and the two horns [are] high; and the one [is] higher than the other, and the high one is coming up last.
我举目观看，见有双角的公绵羊站在河边，两角都高。这角高过那角，更高的是后长的。
4 I have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no living creatures do stand before it, and there is none delivering out of its hand, and it hath done according to its pleasure, and hath exerted itself.
我见那公绵羊往西、往北、往南抵触。兽在它面前都站立不住，也没有能救护脱离它手的；但它任意而行，自高自大。
5 'And I have been considering, and lo, a young he-goat hath come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as to the young he-goat, a conspicuous horn [is] between its eyes.
我正思想的时候，见有一只公山羊从西而来，遍行全地，脚不沾尘。这山羊两眼当中有一非常的角。
6 And it cometh unto the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runneth unto it in the fury of its power.
它往我所看见、站在河边有双角的公绵羊那里去，大发忿怒，向它直闯。
7 And I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becometh embittered at it, and smiteth the ram, and breaketh its two horns, and there hath been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casteth it to the earth, and trampleth it down, and there hath been no deliverer to the ram out of its power.
我见公山羊就近公绵羊，向它发烈怒，抵触它，折断它的两角。绵羊在它面前站立不住；它将绵羊触倒在地，用脚践踏，没有能救绵羊脱离它手的。
8 'And the young he-goat hath exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, broken hath been the great horn; and come up doth a vision of four in its place, at the four winds of the heavens.
这山羊极其自高自大，正强盛的时候，那大角折断了，又在角根上向天的四方长出四个非常的角来。
9 And from the one of them come forth hath a little horn, and it exerteth itself greatly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous [land];
四角之中有一角长出一个小角，向南、向东、向荣美之地，渐渐成为强大。
10 yea, it exerteth unto the host of the heavens, and causeth to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and trampleth them down.
它渐渐强大，高及天象，将些天象和星宿抛落在地，用脚践踏。
11 And unto the prince of the host it exerteth itself, and by it taken away hath been the continual [sacrifice], and thrown down the base of his sanctuary.
并且它自高自大，以为高及天象之君；除掉常献给君的燔祭，毁坏君的圣所。
12 And the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice], through transgression, and it throweth down truth to the earth, and it hath worked, and prospered.
因罪过的缘故，有军旅和常献的燔祭交付它。它将真理抛在地上，任意而行，无不顺利。
13 'And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one saith to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Till when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make both sanctuary and host a treading down?
我听见有一位圣者说话，又有一位圣者问那说话的圣者说：“这除掉常献的燔祭和施行毁坏的罪过，将圣所与军旅践踏的异象，要到几时才应验呢？”
14 And he saith unto me, Till evening — morning two thousand and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right.
他对我说：“到二千三百日，圣所就必洁净。”
15 'And it cometh to pass in my seeing — I, Daniel — the vision, that I require understanding, and lo, standing over-against me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one.
我—但以理见了这异象，愿意明白其中的意思。忽有一位形状像人的站在我面前。
16 And I hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and he calleth and saith: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand the appearance.
我又听见乌莱河两岸中有人声呼叫说：“加百列啊，要使此人明白这异象。”
17 And he cometh in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he saith unto me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] the vision.
他便来到我所站的地方。他一来，我就惊慌俯伏在地；他对我说：“人子啊，你要明白，因为这是关乎末后的异象。”
18 And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he cometh against me, and causeth me to stand on my station,
他与我说话的时候，我面伏在地沉睡；他就摸我，扶我站起来，
19 and saith: Lo, I — I am causing thee to know that which is in the latter end of the indignation; for, at the appointed time [is] the end.
说：“我要指示你恼怒临完必有的事，因为这是关乎末后的定期。
20 'The ram that thou hast seen possessing two horns, [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
你所看见双角的公绵羊，就是米底亚和波斯王。
21 And the young he-goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its eyes is the first king;
那公山羊就是希腊王；两眼当中的大角就是头一王。
22 and that being broken, stand up do four in its place, four kingdoms from the nation do stand up, and not in its power.
至于那折断了的角，在其根上又长出四角，这四角就是四国，必从这国里兴起来，只是权势都不及他。
23 'And in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, stand up doth a king, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things;
这四国末时，犯法的人罪恶满盈，必有一王兴起，面貌凶恶，能用双关的诈语。
24 and his power hath been mighty, and not by his own power; and wonderful things he destroyeth, and he hath prospered, and wrought, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the Holy Ones.
他的权柄必大，却不是因自己的能力；他必行非常的毁灭，事情顺利，任意而行；又必毁灭有能力的和圣民。
25 'And by his understanding he hath also caused deceit to prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerteth himself, and by ease he destroyeth many; and against the prince of princes he standeth — and without hand he is broken.
他用权术成就手中的诡计，心里自高自大，在人坦然无备的时候，毁灭多人；又要站起来攻击万君之君，至终却非因人手而灭亡。
26 And the appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and thou, hide thou the vision, for [it is] after many days.'
所说二千三百日的异象是真的，但你要将这异象封住，因为关乎后来许多的日子。”
27 And I, Daniel, have been, yea, I became sick [for] days, and I rise, and do the king's work, and am astonished at the appearance, and there is none understanding.
于是我—但以理昏迷不醒，病了数日，然后起来办理王的事务。我因这异象惊奇，却无人能明白其中的意思。
