但以理书 8
1 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。
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me previously.
2 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。
And I saw in the vision, and when I looked, I was in the citadel of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
3 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。
Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns. And the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one came up last.
4 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。
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will, and became great.
5 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。
As I was considering, look, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a prominent horn between his eyes.
6 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。
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and rushed at him in the fury of his power.
7 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。
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he threw him down to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one who could deliver the ram from his power.
8 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。
The male goat became very strong. But when he was strong, the large horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four prominent horns toward the four winds of heaven.
9 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。
Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
10 它渐渐强大，高及天象，将些天象和星宿抛落在地，用脚践踏。
It grew so great that it reached to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.
11 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。
And it magnified itself, even against the Prince of the host; and it took away from him the daily sacrifice, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.
12 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。
The host was given over to it together with the daily sacrifice because of transgression. And it cast down truth to the ground, and kept prospering.
13 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？”
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?"
14 他对我说：“到二千三百日，圣所就必洁净。”
He said to me, "To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored to its rightful state."
15 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。
It came about when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it. And look, there stood before me someone who appeared to be a man.
16 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。”
I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, and called out and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."
17 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。”
So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was frightened, and fell prostrate. But he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision belongs to the time of the end."
18 他与我说话的时候，我面伏在地沉睡；他就摸我，扶我站起来，
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.
19 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。
He said, "Look, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of wrath, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 你所看见双角的公绵羊，就是米底亚和波斯王。
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 那公山羊就是希腊王；两眼当中的大角就是头一王。
The male goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 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。
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall arise out of his nation, but not with his power.
23 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。
In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressions have reached their full measure, a rash and deceitful king shall arise.
24 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。
His power shall be great, but not by his own strength; and he shall cause terrible destruction, and shall succeed in whatever he does. And he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 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。
Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.
26 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。”
The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision because it refers to many days from now."
27 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。
I, Daniel, was overcome, and was ill for days. Then I rose up, and carried out the king's business. And I was astonished by the vision, but there was no one to explain it.
