但以理書 8:1-27

公綿羊和公山羊的異象

1在看見先前的異象之後,我但以理伯沙撒王執政第三年又看見一個異象。 2我在異象中看見自己在以攔省的書珊城,又看見自己站在烏萊河畔。 3我舉目觀看,見一隻長著長角的公綿羊站在河邊,其中一角比另一角長,較長的角是後長出來的。 4我看見這公綿羊向西方、北方和南方頂撞,沒有獸能抵擋牠,或逃脫牠的威力。牠隨心所欲,狂妄自大。

5我正沉思的時候,忽然從西面出現一隻公山羊,穿越大地,腳不沾地。牠雙眼之間有一個大角。 6這公山羊來到我之前看見的那隻站在河邊的雙角公綿羊那裡,憤怒地向牠頂去。 7我看見公山羊憤怒地頂向公綿羊,攻擊牠,折斷了牠的雙角。公綿羊無力抵擋,被撞倒在地,踐踏在腳下,無人能救牠脫離公山羊的威力。 8公山羊極其狂妄自大。但正值鼎盛之時,牠的大角突然折斷,在原處又長出四個奇特的角,朝著天的四方。 9其中一個角又長出一個小角,向南方、東方和佳美之地8·9 佳美之地」指以色列,下同11·1641擴張勢力。 10它逐漸強大,高及天軍,將一些天軍和星宿拋到地上,用腳踐踏。 11它狂妄自大,要與天軍的統帥比高,它廢除日常獻給祂的祭,毀壞祂的聖所。 12因為反叛的緣故,天軍和日常所獻的祭都交給了它。它將真理拋在地上,它所行的無不順利。

13接著,我聽見一位聖者在說話,另一位聖者問他:「異象中出現的有關日常所獻的祭,毀滅性的反叛和踐踏聖所及天軍的事要持續多久呢?」 14他對我說:「兩千三百個晝夜。之後,聖所才會潔淨。」

解釋異象

15但以理看見這異象,正想明白它的意思,忽然有一個外貌像人的站在我面前。 16我聽見有人聲從烏萊河兩岸之間呼喊:「加百列啊,要讓此人明白這異象。」 17於是,他朝我站的地方走來,當他走來的時候,我嚇得俯伏在地。他對我說:「人子啊,你要明白,這異象是關於末後的時期。」 18他和我說話的時候,我伏在地上昏睡過去,他便輕拍我,扶我起來, 19對我說:「我要告訴你將來上帝發烈怒時所發生的事,因為這異象是關於那定好的末後時期。 20你看見的那隻有兩角的公綿羊指瑪代波斯的諸王。 21公山羊指希臘王,在牠雙眼之間的大角指第一個王。 22大角折斷後,從原處長出四個角表示四個國必從這國興起,但都不及這國強大。 23在四國的末期,人們惡貫滿盈的時候,必有一個面貌兇惡、詭計多端的王興起。 24他勢力強大,卻不是靠自己的力量。他必帶來可怕的毀滅,而且凡事亨通,他必毀滅強者和聖民。 25他利用詭計和騙術得逞,心高氣傲,乘人不備突然毀滅許多人,甚至要攻擊萬君之君,然而他終必被擊垮,但並非被人的手擊垮。 26異象中所說的兩千三百個晝夜是真的。但你要保密,不可告訴別人,因為這指的是遙遠的將來。」

27但以理精疲力盡,病了幾天。後來我起來照常辦理王的事務,但我對這異象感到驚奇不已,不明白它的意思。

King James Version

Daniel 8:1-27

1In 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. 2And 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. 3Then 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.8.3 the other: Heb. the second 4I 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. 5And 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.8.5 touched…: or, none touched him in the earth8.5 a notable…: Heb. a horn of sight 6And 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. 7And 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. 8Therefore 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. 9And 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. 10And 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.8.10 to the host: or, against the host 11Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.8.11 to: or, against8.11 by him: or, from him 12And 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.8.12 an host…: or, the host was given over for the transgression against the daily sacrifice

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?8.13 that…: or, the numberer of secrets, or, the wonderful numberer: Heb. Palmoni8.13 of…: or, making desolate 14And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.8.14 days: Heb. evening morning8.14 cleansed: Heb. justified

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. 16And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. 17So 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. 18Now 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.8.18 set…: Heb. made me stand upon my standing 19And 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. 20The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 21And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. 23And 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.8.23 are…: Heb. are accomplished 24And 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.8.24 holy…: Heb. people of the holy ones 25And 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.8.25 peace: or, prosperity 26And 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. 27And 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.
