但以理书 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
公绵羊和公山羊的异象
8 在看见先前的异象之后，我但以理在伯沙撒王执政第三年又看见一个异象。 2 我在异象中看见自己在以拦省的书珊城，又看见自己站在乌莱河畔。 3 我举目观看，见一只长着长角的公绵羊站在河边，其中一角比另一角长，较长的角是后长出来的。 4 我看见这公绵羊向西方、北方和南方顶撞，没有兽能抵挡它，或逃脱它的威力。它随心所欲，狂妄自大。
5 我正沉思的时候，忽然从西面出现一只公山羊，穿越大地，脚不沾地。它双眼之间有一个大角。 6 这公山羊来到我之前看见的那只站在河边的双角公绵羊那里，愤怒地向它顶去。 7 我看见公山羊愤怒地顶向公绵羊，攻击它，折断了它的双角。公绵羊无力抵挡，被撞倒在地，践踏在脚下，无人能救它脱离公山羊的威力。 8 公山羊极其狂妄自大。但正值鼎盛之时，它的大角突然折断，在原处又长出四个奇特的角，朝着天的四方。 9 其中一个角又长出一个小角，向南方、东方和佳美之地[a]扩张势力。 10 它逐渐强大，高及天军，将一些天军和星宿抛到地上，用脚践踏。 11 它狂妄自大，要与天军的统帅比高，它废除日常献给祂的祭，毁坏祂的圣所。 12 因为反叛的缘故，天军和日常所献的祭都交给了它。它将真理抛在地上，它所行的无不顺利。
13 接着，我听见一位圣者在说话，另一位圣者问他：“异象中出现的有关日常所献的祭，毁灭性的反叛和践踏圣所及天军的事要持续多久呢？” 14 他对我说：“两千三百个昼夜。之后，圣所才会洁净。”
解释异象
15 我但以理看见这异象，正想明白它的意思，忽然有一个外貌像人的站在我面前。 16 我听见有人声从乌莱河两岸之间呼喊：“加百列啊，要让此人明白这异象。” 17 于是，他朝我站的地方走来，当他走来的时候，我吓得俯伏在地。他对我说：“人子啊，你要明白，这异象是关于末后的时期。” 18 他和我说话的时候，我伏在地上昏睡过去，他便轻拍我，扶我起来， 19 对我说：“我要告诉你将来上帝发烈怒时所发生的事，因为这异象是关于那定好的末后时期。 20 你看见的那只有两角的公绵羊指玛代和波斯的诸王。 21 公山羊指希腊王，在它双眼之间的大角指第一个王。 22 大角折断后，从原处长出四个角表示四个国必从这国兴起，但都不及这国强大。 23 在四国的末期，人们恶贯满盈的时候，必有一个面貌凶恶、诡计多端的王兴起。 24 他势力强大，却不是靠自己的力量。他必带来可怕的毁灭，而且凡事亨通，他必毁灭强者和圣民。 25 他利用诡计和骗术得逞，心高气傲，乘人不备突然毁灭许多人，甚至要攻击万君之君，然而他终必被击垮，但并非被人的手击垮。 26 异象中所说的两千三百个昼夜是真的。但你要保密，不可告诉别人，因为这指的是遥远的将来。”
27 我但以理精疲力尽，病了几天。后来我起来照常办理王的事务，但我对这异象感到惊奇不已，不明白它的意思。

New King James Version
Vision of a Ram and a Goat
8 In[a] the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me—to me, Daniel—after the one that appeared to me (A)the first time. 2 I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking, that I was in (B)Shushan,[b] the [c]citadel, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai. 3 Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was (C)higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. 4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could [d]withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, (D)but he did according to his will and became great.
5 And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable (E)horn between his eyes. 6 Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power. 7 And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, [e]attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.
8 Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it (F)four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. 9 (G)And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, (H)toward the east, and toward the (I)Glorious Land. 10 (J)And it grew up to (K)the host of heaven; and (L)it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. 11 (M)He even exalted himself as high as (N)the Prince of the host; (O)and by him (P)the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of [f]His sanctuary was cast down. 12 Because of transgression, (Q)an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast (R)truth down to the ground. He (S)did all this and prospered.
13 Then I heard (T)a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression [g]of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”
14 And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred [h]days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.”
Gabriel Interprets the Vision
15 Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and (U)was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me (V)one having the appearance of a man. 16 And I heard a man’s voice (W)between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, (X)“Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” 17 So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and (Y)fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end.”
18 (Z)Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; (AA)but he touched me, and stood me upright. 19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; (AB)for at the appointed time the end shall be. 20 The ram which you saw, having the two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia. 21 And the [i]male goat is the [j]kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes (AC)is the first king. 22 (AD)As for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power.
23 “And in the latter time of their kingdom,
When the transgressors have reached their fullness,
A king shall arise,
(AE)Having fierce [k]features,
Who understands sinister schemes.
24 His power shall be mighty, (AF)but not by his own power;
He shall destroy [l]fearfully,
(AG)And shall prosper and thrive;
(AH)He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.
25 “Through(AI) his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his [m]rule;
(AJ)And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
(AK)He shall even rise against the Prince of princes;
But he shall be (AL)broken without human [n]means.
26 “And the vision of the evenings and mornings
Which was told is true;
(AM)Therefore seal up the vision,
For it refers to many days in the future.”
27 (AN)And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was [o]astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.

Israels öde
(8:1—12:13)
Synen om baggen och bocken
8 Under kung Belshassars tredje regeringsår[a] hade jag, Daniel, en syn efter den jag först hade sett. 2 I min syn såg jag mig själv i Susa, den befästa staden i provinsen Elam, och i min syn såg jag mig stå vid floden Ulaj. 3 När jag såg mig omkring, fick jag se en bagge med två horn stå vid flodstranden. Hornen var långa, men det ena var längre än det andra, och det längre hade vuxit fram senare. 4 Jag såg baggen stånga mot väster, norr och söder. Inget djur kunde stå emot den, och ingen kunde rädda något ur dess våld. Den gjorde vad den ville och blev mycket mäktig.
5 Medan jag funderade över detta dök plötsligt en bock upp från väster. Den for fram över hela jorden utan att vidröra marken, och den hade ett stort horn i pannan. 6 Den kom mot baggen med de två hornen, den som jag hade sett stå vid flodstranden, och anföll den i stort raseri. 7 Jag såg den rusa inpå baggen och ursinnigt stöta till den, så att dess båda horn bröts av. Baggen hade ingen kraft att stå emot, utan bocken stångade omkull den på marken och trampade ner den, och det fanns ingen som kunde rädda baggen ur dess våld.
8 Bocken blev oerhört mäktig, men när den stod på höjden av sin makt bröts det stora hornet av, och i stället växte det fram fyra framstående horn mot himlens fyra väderstreck. 9 Från ett av dem kom ytterligare ett horn, som först var litet men växte starkt mot söder, öster och mot det härliga landet. 10 Det växte ända upp till himlens härskara och kastade några av denna här och några stjärnor ner till jorden och trampade ner dem. 11 Det nådde till och med upp till härens furste och tog bort från honom det dagliga offret och skändade helgedomen. 12 För överträdelsens skull överlämnades hären och det dagliga offret åt det, och det kastade ner sanningen på marken och hade framgång i vad det än företog sig.[b]
13 Sedan hörde jag en av de heliga tala, och en annan av de heliga sa till denne som talade: ”Hur lång tid gäller synen om det dagliga offret, den skändande överträdelsen och helgedomen och hären som trampas ner?” 14 Denne sa till mig[c]: ”Efter 2 300 kvällar och morgnar ska helgedomen återställas till sin rätt[d].”
Uttydning av synen
15 När jag, Daniel, hade sett denna syn och försökte förstå den stod någon framför mig som såg ut som en man. 16 Jag hörde en mansröst ropa tvärs över Ulaj: ”Gabriel, berätta för denne vad synen betyder!” 17 Han kom fram till mig där jag stod, men när han närmade sig blev jag förskräckt och föll ner med ansiktet mot marken. Han sa till mig: ”Du människa, du måste förstå att synen gäller den sista tiden.” 18 Medan han talade till mig var jag i djup sömn, med ansiktet mot marken. Sedan vidrörde han mig och hjälpte mig upp på fötter. 19 Han sa: ”Jag ska låta dig veta vad som kommer att hända under vredens sista tid, för det här gäller den sista tiden.
20 Baggen med de två hornen, som du såg, är Mediens och Persiens kungar. 21 Den raggiga bocken är Greklands kung, och det stora hornet i dess panna är den förste kungen. 22 Att det bröts av och fyra andra växte fram i dess ställe betyder att fyra riken ska uppstå ur hans folk, men de har inte samma styrka.
23 Mot slutet av deras regering, när de har fullföljt överträdelserna, ska en ondsint kung, en intrigernas mästare, uppstå. 24 Hans makt ska vara mycket stor, men den kommer inte från honom själv. Han ska vålla en häpnadsväckande förödelse och lyckas i vad han än gör. Han ska fördärva mäktiga män och heligt folk. 25 Med sin skicklighet får han bedrägerierna att lyckas. Han ska ha höga tankar om sig själv och fördärva många i deras trygghet. Han ska till och med vända sig mot furstarnas Furste. Men han kommer att krossas utan mänskligt ingripande.
26 Synen om 2 300 kvällar och morgnar som är omtalad här är sann. Men håll synen hemlig, för den gäller en avlägsen framtid.”
27 Jag, Daniel, blev matt och låg sjuk i flera dagar. Sedan steg jag upp och utförde min tjänst hos kungen. Men jag var förskräckt av synen och kunde inte förstå den.
Daniel 8
King James Version
8 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
