但以理书 7
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
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。
1In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.
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。
2Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
3有四个大兽从海中上来, 形状 各有不同:
3Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
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。
4The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man.
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。」
5Suddenly another beast appeared, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. So it was told, ‘Get up and gorge yourself on flesh!’
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。
6Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
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。
7After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.
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,连根被它拔出来。这角有眼,像人的眼,有口说夸大的话。
8While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
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。
9As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
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。
10A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
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。
11Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
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。
12As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.
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,
13In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.
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。
14And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
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。
15I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me.
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:
16I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:
17这四个大兽就是四王将要在世上兴起。
17‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
18然而,至高者的圣民,必要得国享受,直到永永远远。
18But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’
19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;
19Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.
20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。
20I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
21我观看,见这角与圣民争战,胜了他们。
21As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them,
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。
22until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom.
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。
23This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.
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。
24And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings.
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。
25He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.
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。
26But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
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。
27Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’
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。
28Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”
