7:1
|
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。
|
|
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
|
7:2
|
但以理说:我夜里见异象,看见天的四风陡起,刮在大海之上。
|
|
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven brake forth upon the great sea.
|
7:3
|
有四个大兽从海中上来,形状各有不同:
|
|
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
|
7:4
|
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。
|
|
The first was like a lion, and had eagle`s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man`s heart was given to it.
|
7:5
|
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。」
|
|
And, behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
|
7:6
|
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。
|
|
After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
|
7:7
|
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。
|
|
After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
|
7:8
|
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,连根被他拔出来。这角有眼,像人的眼,有口说夸大的话。
|
|
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
|
7:9
|
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。
|
|
I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, [and] the wheels thereof burning fire.
|
7:10
|
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。
|
|
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
|
7:11
|
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。
|
|
I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
|
7:12
|
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。
|
|
And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
|
7:13
|
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,
|
|
I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
|
7:14
|
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。
|
|
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
|
7:15
|
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。
|
|
As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
|
7:16
|
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:
|
|
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
|
7:17
|
这四个大兽就是四王将要在世上兴起。
|
|
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.
|
7:18
|
然而,至高者的圣民,必要得国享受,直到永永远远。
|
|
But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
|
7:19
|
那时我愿知道第四兽的真情,他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;
|
|
Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
|
7:20
|
头有十角和那另长的一角,在这角前有三角被他打落。这角有眼,有说夸大话的口,形状强横,过于他的同类。
|
|
and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other [horn] which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
|
7:21
|
我观看,见这角与圣民争战,胜了他们。
|
|
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
|
7:22
|
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。
|
|
until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
|
7:23
|
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。
|
|
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
|
7:24
|
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。
|
|
And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
|
7:25
|
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。
|
|
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
|
7:26
|
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。
|
|
But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
|
7:27
|
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。
|
|
And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
|
7:28
|
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。
|
|
Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
