但以理书 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
但以理再見異象
8 伯沙撒王在位第三年,在先前顯給我的異象之後,再有一個異象向我但以理顯現。 2 我在異象中觀看,看見自己在以攔省書珊城堡裡;我在異象中繼續觀看,看見自己在烏萊河的岸邊。
公綿羊
3 我舉目觀看,看見一隻公綿羊,站在河邊;牠有兩個角,兩角都很高,但高低不一;那較高的角是較遲長出來的。 4 我看見那公綿羊向西、向北、向南撞去,沒有走獸能在牠面前站立得住,也沒有能拯救脫離牠手的;牠任意而行,狂妄自大。
公山羊
5 我正在思考的時候,忽然有一隻公山羊從西而來,走遍全地,快得腳不沾塵;這山羊兩眼之間有一個顯眼的角。 6 牠走到我先前所看見站在河邊、那有兩個角的公綿羊那裡去,忿怒地向公綿羊猛力衝去。 7 我看見公山羊走近公綿羊,向牠發怒,撞擊牠,折斷牠的兩個角;公綿羊在牠面前站立不住,牠把公綿羊撞倒在地上,又用腳踐踏牠,沒有能拯救公綿羊脫離牠手的。 8 這公山羊非常狂妄自大;但在牠強盛的時候,那大角被折斷了;在大角原來的地方,有四個顯眼的角向天的四方長出來。
9 從這四個角中的一個角,又長出一個小角來,這小角向南、向東和向榮美之地,不斷強大起來。 10 牠漸漸長大,高及天象,把一些天象和星星摔落在地上,用腳踐踏。 11 牠狂妄自大,要高及天象之君;牠除掉獻給天象之君的常獻祭,又拆毀他的聖所。 12 因罪過的緣故,聖民(“聖民”和8:10、11的“天象”原文是同一個字)連同常獻的祭都交給牠;牠把真理丟在地上,任意而行,凡事順利。 13 我聽見一位聖者在說話,又有一位聖者問他:“這個關於除掉常獻的祭,和引致毀壞的罪過,以及踐踏聖所和聖民(“聖民”和8:10、11的“天象”原文是同一個字)的異象,要到幾時呢?” 14 他對我說:“要到二千三百個晚上和早晨,聖所才得潔淨。”
加百列解釋異象的意義
15 我但以理看見了這異象以後,就想明白它的意義;忽然有一位外貌像人的,站在我面前。 16 我又聽見從烏萊河兩岸之間,有人的聲音呼叫著說:“加百列啊!你要使這人明白這異象。” 17 他就來到我所站的地方;他來到的時候,我就害怕,臉伏在地;他對我說:“人子啊,你要明白!這異象是關於末後的時期的。” 18 他和我說話的時候,我沉睡了,臉伏在地;他觸摸我,使我站起來。 19 他說:“看哪!我要告訴你在 神忿怒審判的後期必要發生的事,因為這是有關那末後的定期的。 20 你所看見那有兩個角的公綿羊,就是瑪代和波斯王。 21 那多毛的公山羊就是希臘王;那兩眼之間的大角就是第一個王。 22 至於代替那折斷了的角,在牠原來的地方長出來的四個角,就是四個要從他的國中興起的王國,只是沒有他的權勢。
23 “在這四國的後期,
犯罪的人惡貫滿盈的時候,
必有一個面貌兇惡的王興起,
他詭計多端。
24 他的權勢強大,卻不是出於自己的能力;
他必造成驚人的毀滅;
他任意而行,凡事順利;
他必毀滅有強力的,
又毀滅聖民。
25 他運用詭計,
行騙無往而不利;
他心裡狂妄自大;
他必乘人不備的時候,毀滅許多人;
他要起來攻擊萬君之君,
最後卻非因人的手被毀滅。
26 關於所說二千三百個晚上和早晨的異象是真的,
但你要把這異象封住,
因為那是關於將來許多的年日的。”
27 我但以理精疲力竭,病了幾天,後來我起來,辦理王的事務,但我仍因這異象驚駭不已,不明白它的意思。

The Vision of a Ram and a Goat
8 In the third year of King Belshazzar’s(A) reign, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that had appeared to me earlier.(B) 2 I saw the vision, and as I watched, I was in the fortress city of Susa,(C) in the province of Elam.(D) I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal. 3 I looked up,[a] and there was a ram(E) standing beside the canal. He had two horns. The two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one came up last. 4 I saw the ram charging to the west, the north, and the south.(F) No animal could stand against him, and there was no rescue from his power. He did whatever he wanted(G) and became great.
5 As I was observing, a male goat appeared, coming from the west across the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground. The goat had a conspicuous horn[b] between his eyes.(H) 6 He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with savage fury. 7 I saw him approaching the ram and, infuriated with him, he struck the ram, breaking his two horns, and the ram was not strong enough to stand against him. The goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and there was no one to rescue the ram from his power. 8 Then the male goat acted even more arrogantly,(I) but when he became powerful, the large horn was broken.(J) Four conspicuous horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.(K)
The Little Horn
9 From one of them a little horn(L) emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the beautiful land.[c](M) 10 It grew as high as the heavenly army, made some of the army and some of the stars[d] fall to the earth,(N) and trampled them.(O) 11 It acted arrogantly(P) even against the Prince of the heavenly army;(Q) it revoked his regular sacrifice(R) and overthrew the place of his sanctuary. 12 In the rebellion, the army was given up, together with the regular sacrifice. The horn threw truth to the ground and was successful(S) in what it did.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking,(T) and another holy one said to the speaker, “How long will the events of this vision last(U)—the regular sacrifice, the rebellion that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and of the army to be trampled?” (V)
14 He said to me,[e] “For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be restored.”
Interpretation of the Vision
15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there stood before me someone who appeared to be a man.(W) 16 I heard a human voice calling from the middle of the Ulai: “Gabriel,(X) explain the vision to this man.”
17 So he approached where I was standing; when he came near, I was terrified and fell facedown.(Y) “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision refers to the time of the end.”(Z) 18 While he was speaking to me, I fell into a deep sleep,(AA) with my face to the ground. Then he touched me, made me stand up,(AB) 19 and said, “I am here to tell you what will happen at the conclusion of the time of wrath, because it refers to the appointed time of the end.(AC) 20 The two-horned ram(AD) that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king.[f] 22 The four horns that took the place of the broken horn represent four kingdoms. They will rise from that nation, but without its power.
23 Near the end of their kingdoms,
when the rebels have reached
the full measure of their sin,[g](AE)
a ruthless[h] king, skilled in intrigue,[i]
will come to the throne.
24 His power will be great,
but it will not be his own.
He will cause outrageous destruction(AF)
and succeed in whatever he does.
He will destroy the powerful
along with the holy people.(AG)
25 He will cause deceit to prosper
through his cunning and by his influence,
and in his own mind he will exalt himself.
He will destroy many in a time of peace;
he will even stand against the Prince of princes.
Yet he will be broken—not by human hands.(AH)
26 The vision of the evenings and the mornings
that has been told is true.
Now you are to seal up the vision(AI)
because it refers to many days in the future.”
27 I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for days.(AJ) Then I got up and went about the king’s business.(AK) I was greatly disturbed by the vision and could not understand it.

Visión del carnero y del macho cabrío
8 En el año tercero del reinado del rey Belsasar, se me apareció a mí, Daniel[a], una visión, después de aquella que se me había aparecido anteriormente[b]. 2 Cuando miré en la visión, sucedió que al mirar, yo me encontraba en la ciudadela de Susa(A), que está en la provincia de Elam(B), y vi en la visión que yo estaba junto al río[c](C) Ulai. 3 Alcé, pues, mis ojos y miré, y he aquí que un carnero estaba delante del río[d]. Tenía dos cuernos(D), y los dos cuernos eran altos, pero uno era más alto que el otro, y el más alto creció[e] el último. 4 Vi al carnero dando cornadas al oeste, al norte y al sur, y ninguna bestia podía mantenerse en pie delante de él, y nadie podía librarse de su poder[f](E). Hacía lo que quería, y se engrandeció(F).
5 Estando yo observando, he aquí, un macho cabrío venía del occidente sobre la superficie de toda la tierra sin tocar el suelo; el macho cabrío tenía un cuerno prominente entre los ojos(G). 6 Se dirigió al carnero que tenía los dos cuernos, que yo había visto parado delante del río[g], y lo acometió con la furia de su poder. 7 Lo vi venir junto al carnero, y enfurecido contra él, hirió al carnero y le rompió los dos cuernos, y el carnero no tenía fuerza para mantenerse en pie delante de él; lo arrojó en tierra y lo pisoteó, y no hubo nadie que librara al carnero de su poder[h]. 8 El macho cabrío se engrandeció sobremanera, pero en cuanto llegó a ser poderoso, el gran cuerno(H) se le rompió, y en su lugar le salieron cuatro cuernos(I) prominentes hacia los cuatro vientos del cielo(J).
9 Y de uno de ellos salió un cuerno pequeño, que creció mucho(K) hacia el sur, hacia el oriente y hacia la Tierra Hermosa[i](L). 10 Creció hasta el ejército del cielo, e hizo caer a la tierra parte del ejército y de las estrellas(M), y las pisoteó(N). 11 Se engrandeció hasta igualarse con el Jefe[j](O) del ejército, le quitó su sacrificio continuo(P) y fue derribado el lugar de su santuario. 12 Y el ejército será entregado al cuerno junto con el sacrificio continuo a causa de la transgresión; arrojará por tierra la verdad(Q) y hará su voluntad y prosperará. 13 Oí entonces hablar a un santo(R), y otro santo dijo al que hablaba: ¿Hasta cuándo durará la visión(S) del sacrificio continuo, de la transgresión que espanta, y de que el lugar santo y el ejército sean pisoteados(T)? 14 Y le[k] respondió: Por dos mil trescientas tardes y mañanas; entonces el lugar santo será restaurado[l](U).
15 Y sucedió que después que yo, Daniel, había visto la visión(V), y trataba de comprenderla[m], he aquí, vi de pie, ante mí, uno con apariencia de hombre(W). 16 Y oí una voz de hombre entre las márgenes del Ulai, que gritaba y decía: Gabriel, explícale a este la visión(X). 17 Él se acercó adonde yo estaba, y cuando llegó, me aterroricé y caí sobre mi rostro(Y), pero él me dijo: Entiende, hijo de hombre, que la visión se refiere al tiempo del fin(Z). 18 Mientras él hablaba conmigo, caí en un sueño profundo con mi rostro en tierra(AA); él me tocó y me hizo incorporar(AB) donde yo estaba. 19 Y dijo: He aquí, te voy a dar a conocer lo que sucederá al final de la ira, porque se refiere al tiempo señalado del fin(AC). 20 El carnero que viste, con los dos cuernos(AD), representa a los reyes de Media y de Persia. 21 Y el macho cabrío peludo representa al reino[n] de Grecia, y el cuerno grande que está entre sus ojos es el primer rey. 22 Y el cuerno roto y los cuatro cuernos(AE) que salieron en su lugar representan cuatro reinos que se levantarán de su nación, pero no con su poder.
23 Y al final de su reinado[o],
cuando los transgresores se acaben,
se levantará un rey,
insolente[p] y hábil en intrigas[q].
24 Su poder será grande, pero no por su propio poder;
destruirá[r] en forma extraordinaria,
prosperará y hará su voluntad;
destruirá[s] a los poderosos y al pueblo santo[t](AF).
25 Y por su astucia
hará que el engaño prospere por su influencia[u];
él se engrandecerá en su corazón,
y destruirá[v] a muchos que están confiados[w].
Aun se levantará contra el[x] Príncipe de los príncipes(AG),
pero será destruido sin intervención humana[y](AH).
26 Y la visión de las tardes y de las mañanas
que ha sido relatada, es verdadera;
pero tú, guarda en secreto la visión(AI),
porque se refiere a muchos días aún lejanos(AJ).
27 Yo, Daniel, me sentí agotado y enfermo algunos días. Después me levanté y atendí los asuntos del rey(AK); pero yo estaba espantado a causa de la visión(AL), y no había nadie que la interpretara[z].

New International Version
Daniel’s Vision of a Ram and a Goat
8 In the third year of King Belshazzar’s(A) reign, I, Daniel, had a vision,(B) after the one that had already appeared to me. 2 In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa(C) in the province of Elam;(D) in the vision I was beside the Ulai Canal. 3 I looked up,(E) and there before me was a ram(F) with two horns, standing beside the canal, and the horns were long. One of the horns was longer than the other but grew up later. 4 I watched the ram as it charged toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against it, and none could rescue from its power.(G) It did as it pleased(H) and became great.
5 As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between its eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground. 6 It came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at it in great rage. 7 I saw it attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against it; the goat knocked it to the ground and trampled on it,(I) and none could rescue the ram from its power.(J) 8 The goat became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off,(K) and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.(L)
9 Out of one of them came another horn, which started small(M) but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land.(N) 10 It grew until it reached(O) the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth(P) and trampled(Q) on them. 11 It set itself up to be as great as the commander(R) of the army of the Lord;(S) it took away the daily sacrifice(T) from the Lord, and his sanctuary was thrown down.(U) 12 Because of rebellion, the Lord’s people[a] and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground.(V)
13 Then I heard a holy one(W) speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled(X)—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot(Y) of the Lord’s people?”
14 He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.”(Z)
The Interpretation of the Vision
15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision(AA) and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man.(AB) 16 And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai(AC) calling, “Gabriel,(AD) tell this man the meaning of the vision.”(AE)
17 As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate.(AF) “Son of man,”[b] he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”(AG)
18 While he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.(AH) Then he touched me and raised me to my feet.(AI)
19 He said: “I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath,(AJ) because the vision concerns the appointed time(AK) of the end.[c](AL) 20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.(AM) 21 The shaggy goat is the king of Greece,(AN) and the large horn between its eyes is the first king.(AO) 22 The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.
23 “In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.(AP) 25 He will cause deceit(AQ) to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes.(AR) Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.(AS)
26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true,(AT) but seal(AU) up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”(AV)
27 I, Daniel, was worn out. I lay exhausted(AW) for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business.(AX) I was appalled(AY) by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
