但以理书 10
1 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。
In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, was a revelation made to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar; and the revelation is true, and relateth to long warfare. And he gave heed to the revelation, and had understanding of the vision.
2 当那时，我—但以理悲伤了三个七日。
In those days, I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 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。
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, till three whole weeks were ended.
4 正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河边，
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river Hiddekel,
5 举目观看，见有一人身穿细麻衣，腰束乌法精金带。
I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man, clothed in linen garments, and his loins girded with gold of Uphaz.
6 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。
His body was like chrysolite, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like the appearance of polished brass, and the sound of his words was as the shout of a multitude.
7 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，
And I Daniel alone saw the vision and the men who were with me saw not the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 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。
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision; and there remained no strength in me, and my color was changed upon me into a deadly paleness, and I retained no strength.
9 我却听见他说话的声音，一听见就面伏在地沉睡了。
And I heard the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell senseless upon my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 忽然，有一手按在我身上，使我用膝和手掌支持微起。
And behold, a hand touched me, and lifted me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 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。
And he said to me, Daniel, much-beloved man, give heed to the words which I speak to thee, and stand upright! for to thee am I now sent. And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling.
12 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。
Then said he to me, Fear not, Daniel! for from the first day that thou didst set thy mind to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come on account of thy words.
13 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。
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood up against me one and twenty days; but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left there victorious with the kings of Persia.
14 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。”
Now I am come to teach thee what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision yet relates to distant days.
15 他向我这样说，我就脸面朝地，哑口无声。
And when he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
16 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。
And behold, one having the appearance of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spake, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my pain came upon me, and I have no strength left.
17 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。”
And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? And now there remaineth no strength in me, neither is breath left in me.
18 有一位形状像人的又摸我，使我有力量。
Then one having the appearance of a man again touched me and strengthened me,
19 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。”
and said, Fear not, much-beloved man! peace be to thee! be strong, yea, be strong! And while he was speaking with me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 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。
Then he said, Knowest thou wherefore I have come to thee? And now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia, and I will go forth, and behold, the prince of Greece will come.
21 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。”
But I will show thee what is written in the book of truth. No one putteth forth his strength with me against them but Michael, your prince.
