Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel, beheld, a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed, —then, the dream, he wrote, the sum of the matters, he told.
巴比伦王伯沙撒元年，但以理在床上做梦，见了脑中的异象，就记录这梦，述说其中的大意。
2 Daniel spake and said, I was looking, in my vision [which came] with the night, —when, lo! the four winds of the heavens, bursting forth upon the great sea;
但以理说： 我夜里见异象，看见天的四风陡起，刮在大海之上。
3 and four large wild beasts, coming up out of the sea, —diverse, one from another: —
有四个大兽从海中上来，形状各有不同：
4 The foremost, like a lion, having, the wings of an eagle, —I looked until the wings thereof, were torn out, and it was lifted up from the earth, and, upon its feet, like a man, was it caused to stand, and, the heart of a man, was given to it.
头一个像狮子，有鹰的翅膀；我正观看的时候，兽的翅膀被拔去，兽从地上得立起来，用两脚站立，像人一样，又得了人心。
5 And, lo! another wild beast, a second, resembling a bear, and, on one side, was it raised up, with three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth, —and, thus, were they saying to it, Rise! devour much flesh.
又有一兽如熊，就是第二兽，旁跨而坐，口齿内衔着三根肋骨。有吩咐这兽的说：“起来吞吃多肉。”
6 After that, I was looking, and lo! another like a leopard, and it, had four wings of a bird upon its back, —and four heads, had the wild beast, and dominion, was given to it,
此后我观看，又有一兽如豹，背上有鸟的四个翅膀；这兽有四个头，又得了权柄。
7 After that, I was looking in the visions of the night, when lo! a fourth wild beast, terrible and well-hipped and exceeding strong, and it had, large teeth of iron, it devoured and brake in pieces, and, the residue—with its feet, it trampled down, —and, it, was diverse from all the wild beasts that were before it, and it had, ten horns.
其后我在夜间的异象中观看，见第四兽甚是可怕，极其强壮，大有力量，有大铁牙，吞吃嚼碎，所剩下的用脚践踏。这兽与前三兽大不相同，头有十角。
8 I was considering the horns, when lo! another horn, a little one, came up among them, and, three of the former horns, were uprooted from before it, —and lo! eyes, like the eyes of a man, in this horn, and, a mouth, speaking great things.
我正观看这些角，见其中又长起一个小角；先前的角中有三角在这角前，连根被它拔出来。这角有眼，像人的眼，有口说夸大的话。
9 I continued looking, until that, thrones, were placed, and, the Ancient of days, took his seat, —whose, garment, like snow, was white, and, the hair of his head, like pure wool, his throne, was flames of fire, his wheels, a burning fire.
我观看， 见有宝座设立， 上头坐着亘古常在者。 他的衣服洁白如雪， 头发如纯净的羊毛。 宝座乃火焰， 其轮乃烈火。
10 A stream of fire, was flowing on and issuing forth from before him, a thousand thousand, waited upon him and, ten thousand times ten thousand, before him, stood up, —Judgment, took its seat, and, books, were opened.
从他面前有火，像河发出； 事奉他的有千千， 在他面前侍立的有万万； 他坐着要行审判， 案卷都展开了。
11 I continued looking, then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking, I continued looking, until that the wild beast, was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning of the fire.
那时我观看，见那兽因小角说夸大话的声音被杀，身体损坏，扔在火中焚烧。
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, their dominion, was taken away, —but, a lengthening of life, was given to them, until time and season.
其余的兽，权柄都被夺去，生命却仍存留，直到所定的时候和日期。
13 I continued looking in the visions of the night, when lo! with the clouds of the heavens, one like a son of man, was coming, —and, unto the Ancient of days, he approached, and, before him, they brought him near;
我在夜间的异象中观看， 见有一位像人子的， 驾着天云而来， 被领到亘古常在者面前，
14 and, unto him, were given dominion and dignity and kingship, that all peoples, races and tongues, unto him, should do service, —his dominion, was an age-abiding dominion, which should not pass away, and, his kingdom, that which should not be destroyed.
得了权柄、荣耀、国度， 使各方、各国、各族的人都事奉他。 他的权柄是永远的，不能废去； 他的国必不败坏。
15 The spirit of, me, Daniel, was grieved in the midst of the sheath, —and, the visions of my head, terrified me.
至于我—但以理，我的灵在我里面愁烦，我脑中的异象使我惊惶。
16 I drew near unto one of them who stood by, and made exact enquiry of him, concerning all this, —so he told me, and, the interpretation of the things, made he known unto me.
我就近一位侍立者，问他这一切的真情。他就告诉我，将那事的讲解给我说明：
17 These great wild beasts, which are four, —are four kings who shall arise out of the earth;
这四个大兽就是四王将要在世上兴起。
18 but the holy ones of the Highest, shall receive the kingdom, —and shall possess the kingdom for the age, yea for the age of ages.
然而，至高者的圣民，必要得国享受，直到永永远远。
19 Then desired I to be sure, concerning the fourth wild beast, which was diverse from all of them, —exceeding terrible, whose, teeth, were iron, and, his claws, of bronze, he devoured, brake in pieces, and, the residue—with his feet, he trampled down;
那时我愿知道第四兽的真情，它为何与那三兽的真情大不相同，甚是可怕，有铁牙铜爪，吞吃嚼碎，所剩下的用脚践踏；
20 also concerning the ten horns, which were in his head, and the other, which came up, and there fell—from among them that were before it—three, —and this horn which had, eyes, and, a mouth, speaking great things, and, his look, was more proud than his fellows:
头有十角和那另长的一角，在这角前有三角被它打落。这角有眼，有说夸大话的口，形状强横，过于它的同类。
21 I continued looking, when, this horn, made war with the holy ones, —and prevailed against them:
我观看，见这角与圣民争战，胜了他们。
22 until that the Ancient of Days, came, and, justice, was granted to the holy ones of the Highest, —and, the time, arrived, that the holy ones should possess, the kingdom.
直到亘古常在者来给至高者的圣民伸冤，圣民得国的时候就到了。
23 Thus, he said, The fourth wild beast, is a fourth kingdom which shall be in the earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, —and shall devour all the earth, and shall trample it down, and break it in pieces.
那侍立者这样说： 第四兽就是世上必有的第四国， 与一切国大不相同， 必吞吃全地， 并且践踏嚼碎。
24 And, the ten horns of that kingdom, are ten kings who will arise, —and, another, will arise after them, and, he, will be diverse from the former ones, and, three kings, will he cast down;
至于那十角，就是从这国中必兴起的十王， 后来又兴起一王， 与先前的不同； 他必制伏三王。
25 and, words against the Most High, will he speak, and, the holy ones of the Highest, will he afflict, —and will hope to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand, for a season and seasons and the dividing of a season,
他必向至高者说夸大的话， 必折磨至高者的圣民， 必想改变节期和律法。 圣民必交付他手一载、二载、半载。
26 but, Judgment, will take its seat, —and, his dominion, will they take away, to destroy and make disappear unto an end.
然而，审判者必坐着行审判； 他的权柄必被夺去， 毁坏，灭绝，一直到底。
27 And, the kingdom, and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Highest, —his kingdom, is an age-abiding kingdom, and, all the dominions, unto him, will render service, and show themselves obedient.
国度、权柄，和天下诸国的大权 必赐给至高者的圣民。 他的国是永远的； 一切掌权的都必事奉他，顺从他。
28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, greatly did my thoughts terrify me, and, my bright looks, were changed upon me, but, the matter—in mine own heart, I kept.
那事至此完毕。至于我—但以理，心中甚是惊惶，脸色也改变了，却将那事存记在心。
