1In the first year of Baltasar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said:
1巴比倫 王 伯沙撒 元年， 但以理 在床上做夢，見了腦中的異象，就記錄這夢，述說其中的大意。
2I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
2但以理 說： 我夜裏見異象，看見天的四風陡起，颳在大海之上。
3And four great beasts, different one from another, came up out of the sea.
3有四個大獸從海中上來， 形狀 各有不同：
4The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her.
4頭一個像獅子，有鷹的翅膀；我正觀看的時候，獸的翅膀被拔去，獸從地上得立起來，用兩腳站立，像人一樣，又得了人心。
5And behold another beast like a bear stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh.
5又有一獸如熊，就是第二獸，旁跨而坐，口齒內啣着三根肋骨。有吩咐這獸的說：「起來吞吃多肉。」
6After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
6此後我觀看，又有一獸如豹，背上有鳥的四個翅膀；這獸有四個頭，又得了權柄。
7After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.
7其後我在夜間的異象中觀看，見第四獸甚是可怕，極其強壯，大有力量，有大鐵牙，吞吃嚼碎，所剩下的用腳踐踏。這獸與前三獸大不相同，頭有十角。
8I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
8我正觀看這些角，見其中又長起一個小角；先前的角中有三角在這角前，連根被牠拔出來。這角有眼，像人的眼，有口說誇大的話。
9I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire.
9我觀看， 見有寶座設立， 上頭坐着亙古常在者。 他的衣服潔白如雪， 頭髮如純淨的羊毛。 寶座乃火焰， 其輪乃烈火。
10A swift stream of fire issued forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened.
10從他面前有火，像河發出； 事奉他的有千千， 在他面前侍立的有萬萬； 他坐着要行審判， 案卷都展開了。
11I beheld because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt:
11那時我觀看，見那獸因小角說誇大話的聲音被殺，身體損壞，扔在火中焚燒。
12And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and time.
12其餘的獸，權柄都被奪去，生命卻仍存留，直到所定的時候和日期。
13I beheld therefore in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the Ancient of days: and they presented him before him.
13我在夜間的異象中觀看， 見有一位像人子的， 駕着天雲而來， 被領到亙古常在者面前，
14And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed.
14得了權柄、榮耀、國度， 使各方、各國、各族的人都事奉他。 他的權柄是永遠的，不能廢去； 他的國必不敗壞。
15My spirit trembled, I Daniel was affrighted at these things, and the visions of my head troubled me.
15至於我－ 但以理 ，我的靈在我裏面愁煩，我腦中的異象使我驚惶。
16I went near to one of them that stood by, and asked the truth of him concerning all these things, and he told me the interpretation of the words, and instructed me:
16我就近一位侍立者，問他這一切的真情。他就告訴我，將那事的講解給我說明：
17These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which shall arise out of the earth.
17這四個大獸就是四王將要在世上興起。
18But the saints of the most high God shall take the kingdom: and they shall possess the kingdom for ever and ever.
18然而，至高者的聖民，必要得國享受，直到永永遠遠。
19After this I would diligently learn concerning the fourth beast. which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet:
19那時我願知道第四獸的真情，牠為何與那三獸的真情大不相同，甚是可怕，有鐵牙銅爪，吞吃嚼碎，所剩下的用腳踐踏；
20And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest.
20頭有十角和那另長的一角，在這角前有三角被牠打落。這角有眼，有說誇大話的口，形狀強橫，過於牠的同類。
21I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints, and prevailed over them,
21我觀看，見這角與聖民爭戰，勝了他們。
22Till the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the saints of the most High, and the time came, and the saints obtained the kingdom.
22直到亙古常在者來給至高者的聖民伸冤，聖民得國的時候就到了。
23And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
23那侍立者這樣說： 第四獸就是世上必有的第四國， 與一切國大不相同， 必吞吃全地， 並且踐踏嚼碎。
24And the ten horns of the same kingdom, shall be ten kings: and another shall rise up after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings.
24至於那十角，就是從這國中必興起的十王， 後來又興起一王， 與先前的不同； 他必制伏三王。
25And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.
25他必向至高者說 誇大的 話， 必折磨至高者的聖民， 必想改變節期和律法。 聖民必交付他手一載、二載、半載。
26And judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end.
26然而，審判者必坐着行審判； 他的權柄必被奪去， 毀壞，滅絕，一直到底。
27And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve him, and shall obey him.
27國度、權柄，和天下諸國的大權 必賜給至高者的聖民。 他的國是永遠的； 一切掌權的都必事奉他，順從他。
28Hitherto is the end of the word. I Daniel was much troubled with my thoughts, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the word in my heart.
28那事至此完畢。至於我－ 但以理 ，心中甚是驚惶，臉色也改變了，卻將那事存記在心。
