2:8王回答说,我准知道你们是故意迟延,因为你们知道那梦我已经忘了。
The king answered and said; I know of certainty that ye would gain the time; because ye see the thing is gone from me。
2:9你们若不将梦告诉我,只有一法待你们。因为你们预备了谎言乱语向我说,要等候时势改变。现在你们要将梦告诉我,因我知道你们能将梦的讲解告诉我。
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream; there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me; till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream; and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof。
2:10迦勒底人在王面前回答说,世上没有人能将王所问的事说出来。因为没有君王,大臣,掌权的向术士,或用法术的,或迦勒底人问过这样的事。
The Chaldeans answered before the king; and said; There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king; lord; nor ruler; that asked such things at any magician; or astrologer; or Chaldean。
2:11王所问的事甚难。除了不与世人同居的神明,没有人在王面前能说出来。
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth; and there is none other that can shew it before the king; except the gods; whose dwelling is not with flesh。
2:12因此,王气忿忿地大发烈怒,吩咐灭绝巴比伦所有的哲士。
For this cause the king was angry and very furious; and manded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon。
2:13于是命令发出,哲士将要见杀,人就寻梢但以理和他的同伴,要杀他们。
And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain。
2:14王的护卫长亚略出来,要杀巴比伦的哲士,但以理就用婉言回答他,
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard; which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
2:15向王的护卫长亚略说,王的命令为何这样紧急呢。亚略就将情节告诉但以理。
He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain; Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel。
2:16但以理遂进去求王宽限,就可以将梦的讲解告诉王。
Then Daniel went in; and desired of the king that he would give him time; and that he would shew the king the interpretation。
2:17但以理回到他的居所,将这事告诉他的同伴哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅,
Then Daniel went to his house; and made the thing known to Hananiah; Mishael; and Azariah; his panions:
2:18要他们祈求天上的神施怜悯,将这奥秘的事指明,免得但以理和他的同伴与巴比伦其馀的哲士一同灭亡。
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon。
2:19这奥秘的事就在夜间异象中给但以理显明,但以理便称颂天上的神。
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision。 Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven。
2:20但以理说,神的名是应当称颂的。从亘古直到永远,因为智慧能力都属乎他。
Daniel answered and said; Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
2:21他改变时候,日期,废王,立王,将智慧赐与智慧人,将知识赐与聪明人。
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings; and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise; and knowledge to them that know understanding:
2:22他显明深奥隐秘的事,知道暗中所有的,光明也与他同居。
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness; and the light dwelleth with him。
2:23我列祖的神阿,我感谢你,赞美你,因你将智慧才能赐给我,允准我们所求的,把王的事给我们指明。
I thank thee; and praise thee; O thou God of my fathers; who hast given me wisdom and might; and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter。
2:24于是,但以理进去见亚略,就是王所派灭绝巴比伦哲士的,对他说,不要灭绝巴比伦的哲士,求你领我到王面前,我要将梦的讲解告诉王。
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch; whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king; and I will shew unto the king the interpretation。
2:25亚略就急忙将但以理领到王面前,对王说,我在被掳的犹大人中遇见一人,他能将梦的讲解告诉王。
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste; and said thus unto him; I have found a man of the captives of Judah; that will make known unto the king the interpretation。
2:26王问称为伯提沙撒的但以理说,你能将我所作的梦和梦的讲解告诉我吗。
The king answered and said to Daniel; whose name was Belteshazzar; Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen; and the interpretation thereof?
2:27但以理在王面前回答说,王所问的那奥秘事,哲士,用法术的,术士,观兆的都不能告诉王。
Daniel answered in the presence of the king; and said; The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men; the astrologers; the magicians; the soothsayers; shew unto the king;
2:28只有一位在天上的神能显明奥秘的事。他已将日后必有的事指示尼布甲尼撒王。你的梦和你在床上脑中的异象是这样,
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets; and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days。 Thy dream; and the visions of thy head upon thy bed; are these;
2:29王阿,你在床上想到后来的事,那显明奥秘事的主把将来必有的事指示你。
As for thee; O king; thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed; what should e to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall e to pass。
2:30至于那奥秘的事显明给我,并非因我的智慧胜过一切活人,乃为使王知道梦的讲解和心里的思念。
But as for me; this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living; but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king; and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart。
2:31王阿,你梦见一个大像,这像甚高,极其光耀,站在你面前,形状甚是可怕。
Thou; O king; sawest; and behold a great image。 This great image; whose brightness was excellent; stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible。
2:32这像的头是精金的,胸膛和膀臂是银的,肚腹和腰是铜的,
This image's head was of fine gold; his breast and his arms of silver; his belly and his thighs of brass;
2:33腿是铁的,脚是半铁半泥的。
His legs of iron; his feet part of iron and part of clay。
2:34你观看,见有一块非人手凿出来的石头打在这像半铁半泥的脚上,把脚砸碎。
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands; which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay; and brake them to pieces。
2:35于是金,银,铜,铁,泥都一同砸得粉碎,成如夏天禾场上的糠秕,被风吹散,无处可寻。打碎这像的石头变成一座大山,充满天下。
Then was the iron; the clay; the brass; the silver; and the gold; broken to pieces together; and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away; that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain; and filled the whole earth。
2:36这就是那梦。我们在王面前要讲解那梦。
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king。
2:37王阿,你是诸王之王。天上的神已将国度,权柄,能力,尊荣都赐给你。
Thou; O king; art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom; power; and strength; and glory。
2:38凡世人所住之地的走兽,并天空的飞鸟,他都交付你手,使你掌管这一切。你就是那金头。
And wheresoever the children of men dwell; the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand; and hath made thee ruler over them all。 Thou art this head of gold。
2:39在你以后必另兴一国,不及于你。又有第三国,就是铜的,必掌管天下。
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of brass; which shall bear rule over all the earth。
2:40第四国,必坚壮如铁,铁能打碎克制百物,又能压碎一切,那国也必打碎压制列国。
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these; shall it break in pieces and bruise。
2:41你既见像的脚和脚指头,一半是窑匠的泥,一半是铁,那国将来也必分开。你既见铁与泥搀杂,那国也必有铁的力量。
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes; part of potters' clay; and part of iron; the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron; forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay。
2:42那脚指头,既是半铁半泥,那国也必半强半弱。
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron; and part of clay; so the kingdom shall be partly strong; and partly broken。
2:43你既见铁与泥搀杂,那国民也必与各种人搀杂,却不能彼此相合,正如铁与泥不能相合一样。
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay; they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another; even as iron is not mixed with clay。
2:44当那列王在位的时候,天上的神必另立一国,永不败坏,也不归别国的人,却要打碎灭绝那一切国,这国必存到永远。
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom; which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms; and it shall stand for ever。
2:45你既看见非人手凿出来的一块石头从山而出,打碎金,银,铜,铁,泥,那就是至大的神把后来必有的事给王指明。这梦准是这样,这讲解也是确实的。
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands; and that it brake in pieces the iron; the brass; the clay; the silver; and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall e to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain; and the interpretation thereof sure。
2:46当时,尼布甲尼撒王俯伏在地,向但以理下拜,并且吩咐人给他奉上供物和香品。
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face; and worshipped Daniel; and manded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him。
2:47王对但以理说,你既能显明这奥秘的事,你们的神诚然是万神之神,万王之主,又是显明奥秘事的。
The king answered unto Daniel; and said; Of a truth it is; that your God is a God of gods; and a Lord of kings; and a revealer of secrets; seeing thou couldest reveal this secret。
2:48于是王高抬但以理,赏赐他许多上等礼物,派他管理巴比伦全省,又立他为总理,掌管巴比伦的一切哲士。
Then the king made Daniel a great man; and gave him many great gifts; and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon; and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon。
2:49但以理求王,王就派沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌管理巴比伦省的事务,只是但以理常在朝中侍立。
Then Daniel requested of t
