Daniel 8
1 In the thirde yeere of the reigne of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared vnto mee, euen vnto me Daniel, after that which appeared vnto mee 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 when I sawe it, I was in the palace of Shushan, which is in the prouince of Elam, and in a vision me thought I was by the riuer of Vlai.
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 looked vp and sawe, and beholde, there stoode before the riuer a ramme, which had two hornes: and these two hornes were hie: but one was hier then another, and the hyest came vp 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 sawe the ramme pusshing against ye West, and against the North, and against the South: so that no beastes might stande before him, nor could deliuer out of his hand, but he did what he listed, 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 considered, beholde, a goate came from the West ouer the whole earth, and touched not the grounde: and this goate had an horne that appeared betweene 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 vnto the ramme that had the two hornes, whome I had seene standing by the riuer, and ranne vnto him in his fierce rage.
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 vnto the ramme, and being moued against him, he smote the ramme, and brake his two hornes: and there was no power in the ramme to stand against him, but he cast him downe to the grounde, and stamped vpon him, and there was none that coulde deliuer the ramme out of his power.
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 goate waxed exceeding great, and when he was at the strongest, his great horne was broken: and for it came vp foure that appeared toward the foure windes of ye heauen.
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 foorth a litle horne, which waxed very great toward the South, and toward the East, and towarde 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 Yea, it grewe vp vnto the hoste of heauen, and it cast downe some of the hoste, and of the starres to the ground, and trode vpon 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 And extolled himselfe against the prince of the hoste from whome the dayly sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuarie was cast downe.
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 time shall be giuen him ouer the dayly sacrifice for the iniquitie: and it shall cast downe the trueth to the ground, and thus shall it doe, and prosper.
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 of the Saints speaking, and one of the Saints spake vnto a certaine one, saying, Howe long shall endure the vision of the dayly sacrifice, and the iniquitie of the desolation to treade both the Sanctuarie and the armie vnder foote?
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 answered me, Vnto the euening and the morning, two thousand and three hundreth: then shall the Sanctuarie be clensed.
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 Nowe when I Daniel had seene the vision, and sought for the meaning, beholde, there stoode before me like the similitude 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 mans voyce betweene the bankes of Vlai, which called, and sayde, Gabriel, make this man to vnderstand 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 where I stood: and when hee came, I was afraide, and fell vpon my face: but he sayd vnto me, Vnderstand, O sonne of man: for in the last time shalbe 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 Nowe as he was speaking vnto me, I being a sleepe fell on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place.
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 sayde, Beholde, I will shewe thee what shalbe in the last wrath: for in the end of the time appointed it shall come.
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 ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the Kings of the Medes and Persians.
你所見具有兩角的公綿羊是瑪待和波斯君王，
21 And the goate is the King of Grecia, and the great horne that is betweene 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 And that that is broken, and foure stoode vp for it, are foure kingdomes, which shall stand vp of that nation, but not in his strength.
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 end of their kingdome, when the rebellious shalbe consumed, a King of fierce countenance, and vnderstanding darke sentences, shall stand vp.
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 shalbe mightie, but not in his strength: and hee shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mightie, 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 policie also, hee shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall extoll himselfe in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: hee shall also stande vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe broken downe 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 euening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therefore seale thou vp the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.
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 was striken and sicke certaine dayes: but when I rose vp, I did the Kings busines, and I was astonished at the vision, but none vnderstood 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。
