但以理书 7
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
但以理梦中见异象
7 巴比伦王伯沙撒第一年，但以理躺在床上时，他作了一个梦，脑海中出现了异象；他就把那梦记录下来，把事情的重点述说出来。 2 但以理说：“在夜间的异象中，我看见天的四风，搅动大海。
四巨兽
3 “有四只巨兽从海中上来，形状各不相同。 4 第一只兽像狮子，却有鹰的翅膀。我一直在观看，看见牠的翅膀被拔去，牠从地上被举起来，两脚像人一样直立在地上；又有人的心给了牠。 5 我又看见另一只兽，就是第二只兽；牠和熊相似，挺起一边的身躯，口中的牙齿衔着三根肋骨。有人这样对牠说：‘起来，吃多量的肉吧！’ 6 此后，我继续观看，看见另一只兽像豹，背上有鸟的四个翅膀；这兽有四个头，又有权柄给了牠。 7 后来，我在夜间的异象中继续观看，看见有第四只兽，非常恐怖，十分可怕，极其强壮。牠有大铁牙；牠吞吃咬碎，又把剩余的用脚践踏；这兽和前面的各兽都不相同；牠有十个角。 8 我正在究察这些角的时候，看见角的中间长出另一个小角来。在这小角前面，有三个先前的角连根被拔起来。这小角有眼，像人的眼，又有一张说夸大话的嘴。
9 “我一直在观看，
看见有些宝座安放好了，
万古常存者就坐上去；
他的衣服洁白如雪，
他的头发纯净像羊毛。
他的宝座是火焰，
宝座的轮子是烈火。
10 有火像河涌出，
烈火从他面前冒出；
事奉他的有千千，
侍立在他面前的有万万。
审判已经开始，
案卷都展开了。
11 “那时，因那小角说夸大话的声音，我继续观看，看见那兽被杀，尸体被毁，扔在烈火中。 12 至于其余的三兽，牠们的权柄都被夺去，牠们的生命却得着延长，直到所定的时候和日期。
13 “我在夜间的异象中继续观看，
看见有一位像人子的，
驾着天云而来，
到万古常存者那里，
被引领到他面前，
14 得了权柄、尊荣和国度；
各国、各族和说各种语言的人都事奉他。
他的权柄是永远的权柄，是不能废去的；
他的国度是永不毁灭的。
解释异象的意义
15 “至于我但以理，我的灵在我里面忧伤，我脑海中出现的异象使我惊惶。 16 于是我走近其中一位侍立者，问他有关这一切事的实情；他就告诉我，使我知道这些事的意思，他说： 17 ‘这四只巨兽就是将要在世上兴起的四个王。 18 但至高者的圣民必要得国，拥有这国，直到永永远远。’ 19 那时我想知道有关第四只兽的实情，牠和其他三兽不相同，十分恐怖，有铁牙铜爪；牠吞吃咬碎，又把剩余的用脚践踏。 20 我又想知道有关牠头上的十角，和那另长出来的小角，以及那三个在这小角前面倒下的角的实情。这小角有眼，有说夸大话的嘴；牠的形状比牠的同类更威猛。 21 我继续观看，看见这小角和圣民争战，战胜了他们， 22 直到万古常存者来到，为至高者的圣民伸张正义；圣民拥有国度的时候就到了。
23 “那位侍立者这样说：‘那第四只兽就是世上必有的第四国，和其他各国都不相同；牠必吞吃全地，践踏咬碎全地。 24 至于那十角，就是从这国中将要兴起的十个王，在他们以后，必有另一个王兴起，和先前的王都不相同；他必制伏三个王。 25 他必说话，敌挡至高者；他必折磨至高者的圣民，又想改变节期和律法；圣民必交在他的手中，一载、二载、半载（“一载、二载、半载”或译：“一个时期、多个时期、半个时期”）。 26 但审判要开始，他的权柄必被夺去，他必被毁坏灭绝，直到永远。 27 那时，国度、权柄，和普天之下万国的大权，都必赐给至高者的圣民。他的国是永远的国；所有掌权的都必事奉他，顺从他。’ 28 这事到此完毕。我但以理心中十分惊惶，脸色也变了，但我把这事存放在心里。”
但以理書 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
但以理夢見四獸
7 巴比倫王伯沙撒元年，但以理在床上做了一個夢，腦中出現了異象，便把夢記錄下來，講述其中的大意。 2 但以理說：「我在夜間的異象中看見天風四面吹來，攪動大海。 3 接著，四隻巨獸從海中上來，各有不同的形狀。 4 第一隻獸像獅子，但有鷹的翅膀。我觀看時，見牠的翅膀被拔掉。牠被扶起來，像人一樣雙腳站在地上，並被賦予人的頭腦。 5 第二隻獸像熊，用兩隻後腿站立，牙齒間叼著三根肋骨，有聲音對牠說，『起來，多吞吃肉吧！』
6 「此後，我繼續觀看，見還有一隻獸像豹，背上有四個如鳥翼般的翅膀。這獸有四個頭，並被賦予權柄。 7 此後，我在夜間的異象中看見第四隻獸，恐怖可怕，極其強壯，用大鐵牙吞吃、咬碎獵物，用腳踐踏所剩的。這獸與前三隻獸不同，牠有十個角。 8 我觀看這些角時，見其中長出一個小角，先前的角中有三個被連根拔出，讓它取而代之。這小角有人的眼睛和說狂言的口。
9 「我看見寶座已設立，
上面坐著亙古長存者，
祂的衣服潔白如雪，
頭髮如純淨的羊毛。
祂的寶座是火焰，
寶座的輪子是烈火。
10 從祂面前流出火河，
事奉祂的有千千，
侍立在祂面前的有萬萬。
祂坐下要審判，
案卷已經展開。
11 「我繼續觀看，見那獸被殺，身體被毀並被扔進火中，因為牠的小角口出狂言。 12 至於其餘的獸，牠們的權柄都被奪去，但獲准再存活一段時間。
13 「我在夜間的異象中看見一位像人子的，駕著天雲而來，到亙古長存者那裡，被引到祂面前。 14 他得到權柄、榮耀和國度，各族、各邦、各語種的人都要事奉他。他的統治直到永遠、沒有窮盡，他的國度永不滅亡。
解釋異象
15 「我但以理心中不安，腦中出現的異象令我恐懼， 16 便走近一位侍立一旁的，問他這些事的意思。他就向我解釋這些事的意思，說， 17 『這四隻巨獸是指四個將要在世上興起的國。 18 但至高者的聖民必承受國度，並永永遠遠擁有國度。』
19 「那時，我想知道關於第四獸的事，牠與其餘三獸不同，極其可怕，有鐵牙銅爪，吞吃、咬碎獵物，用腳踐踏所剩的。 20 我也想知道有關牠頭上的十角及後來長出的小角的事。這小角取代了三角，它有眼和說狂言的口，比其他的角更強大。 21 我看見這小角與聖民爭戰，並佔了上風。 22 後來亙古長存的至高者來為祂的聖民伸冤。聖民擁有國度的時候到了。
23 「那位侍立一旁的說，『第四隻獸是指世上將興起的第四個國，與其他各國不同，牠將吞吃、踐踏、咬碎天下。 24 十角是指這國中將興起十個王，後來又興起一王，與先前的王不同，他將制伏三個王。 25 他必褻瀆至高者，迫害至高者的聖民，試圖改變節期和律法。聖民將被交在他手中三年半。 26 然而，審判者將坐下來審判，奪去並永遠廢除他的權柄。 27 那時，國度、權柄和天下萬國的尊榮必賜給至高者的聖民。祂的國度直到永遠，一切掌權者都要事奉祂，順服祂。』
28 「這就是我的夢。我但以理心中十分害怕，臉色蒼白，但我沒有把這事告訴別人。」
Daniel 7
Darby Translation
7 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream; he told the sum of the matters.
2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens broke forth upon the great sea.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till its wings 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.
5 And behold, another beast, a second, like unto a bear, and it raised up itself on one side; and [it had] three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and they said thus unto it: Arise, devour much flesh.
6 After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceeding strong; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another, a little horn, 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.
9 I beheld till thrones were set, and the Ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was flames of fire, [and] its wheels burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11 I beheld therefore, because of the voice of the great words that the horn spoke; I beheld till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given up to be burned with fire.
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven [one] like a son of man, and he came up even to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all 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.
15 As for me Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the certainty of all this. And he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, [that] shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the most high [places] shall receive the kingdom, and they shall possess the kingdom for ever, even to the ages of ages.
19 Then I desired to know the certainty concerning the fourth beast, which was different from them all, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet;
20 and concerning the ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and before which three fell: even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose look was more imposing than its fellows.
21 I beheld, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them;
22 until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most high [places]; and the appointed time arrived, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 He said thus: The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And as to the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall arise ten kings; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be different from the former, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most high [places], and think to change seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and a half time.
26 And the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27 But the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most high [places]. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28 So far 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.
