¹但以理再得启示与异象

¹In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he hath understood the thing, and hath understanding about the appearance.

²悲哀禁食那时，我但以理悲伤了三个星期。

²`In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;

³美味的食物我没有吃，肉和酒没有入我的口，我也没有用膏油抹身，整整三个星期。

³desirable bread I have not eaten, and flesh and wine hath not come in unto my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, till the completion of three weeks of days.

⁴得天使的安慰正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河边的时候，

⁴`And in the twenty and fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:

⁵我举目观看，看见有一个人身穿细麻衣，腰束乌法纯金的带。

⁵and I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz,

⁶他的身像碧玉，面貌像闪电的样子，眼睛像火把，手臂和腿像擦亮的铜那么闪耀，说话的声音像群众喊叫的声音。

⁶and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.

⁷独有我但以理看见这异象，那些和我在一起的人都没有看见，不过他们却大大惊慌，逃跑躲藏起来了。

⁷`And I have seen — I, Daniel, by myself — the appearance: and the men who have been with me have not seen the appearance, but a great trembling hath fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;

⁸因此，只有我一人留下来；我看见了这大异象，就全身无力，脸色大变，一点力气都没有。

⁸and I have been left by myself, and I see this great appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not retained power.

⁹我却仍听见他说话的声音；我一听见他说话的声音，就沉睡了，脸伏在地。

⁹`And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face [is] to the earth;

¹⁰忽然有一只手按在我身上，使我用膝和手掌勉强支持着要站起来。

¹⁰and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and the palms of my hands.

¹¹他对我说：“大蒙眷爱的但以理啊！你应当留意我要对你说的话。你只管站起来，因为我现在奉差遣到你这里来。”他和我说这话的时候，我就战战兢兢地站起来。

¹¹`And he saith unto me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking unto thee, and stand on thy station, for now I have been sent unto thee. `And when he speaketh with me this word, I have stood trembling.

¹²他又对我说：“但以理啊！不要惧怕，因为自从你第一天决心要明白这些事，又在你的　神面前谦卑自己，你祷告的话已蒙垂听了；我就是因你祷告的话而来的。

¹²And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I have come because of thy words.

¹³但波斯国的护卫天使拦阻我二十一天；后来有护卫天使长中的一位米迦勒来帮助我，我就留他在那里（“我就留他在那里”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“我就被留在那里”；现参照《七十士译本》翻译），和波斯众王在一起。

¹³`And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing over-against me twenty and one days, and lo, Michael, first of the chief heads, hath come in to help me, and I have remained there near the kings of Persia;

¹⁴现在我来是要使你明白日后所要发生在你的同胞身上的事，因为这异象是关于将来许多的年日的。”

¹⁴and I have come to cause thee to understand that which doth happen to thy people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.

¹⁵他和我说这些话的时候，我就脸伏在地，默默无声。

¹⁵`And when he speaketh with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;

¹⁶忽然有一位像人的，摸我的嘴唇，我就开口和那站在我面前的交谈，说：“我主啊！因着这异象，我非常痛苦，毫无气力。

¹⁶and lo, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say unto him who is standing over-against me: My lord, by the appearance turned have been my pangs against me, and I have retained no power.

¹⁷我主的仆人怎能和我主说话呢？我现在全身无力，没有气息。”

¹⁷And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? as for me, henceforth there remaineth in me no power, yea, breath hath not been left in me.

¹⁸那位像人的再摸我，使我有力量。

¹⁸`And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth me,

¹⁹他说：“大蒙眷爱的人哪！不要惧怕，愿你平安，你要大大刚强。”他和我说话的时候，我就刚强起来；于是我说：“我主请说，因为你刚强了我。”

¹⁹and he saith: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to thee, be strong, yea, be strong; and when he speaketh with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for thou hast strengthened me.

²⁰他说：“现在我要回去和波斯的护卫天使作战；我一离去，希腊的护卫天使就要来。但你知道我为什么到你这里来吗？

²⁰And he saith, Hast thou known why I have come unto thee? and now I turn back to fight with the head of Persia; yea, I am going forth, and lo, the head of Javan hath come;

²¹我来是要把那记录在真理书上的事告诉你。除了你们的护卫天使米迦勒之外，没有一个帮助我，和我一起抵挡他们。”

²¹but I declare to thee that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.
