⁴我向耶和华—我的　神祈祷、认罪，说：“主啊，大而可畏的　神，向爱主、守主诫命的人守约施慈爱。And I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed, “O, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of loving devotion to those who love Him and keep His commandments,

⁵我们犯罪作孽，行恶叛逆，偏离你的诫命典章，we have sinned and done wrong. We have acted wickedly and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances.

⁶没有听从你仆人众先知奉你名向我们君王、首领、列祖，和国中一切百姓所说的话。We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, leaders, fathers, and all the people of the land.

⁷主啊，你是公义的，我们是脸上蒙羞的；因我们犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民，并以色列众人，或在近处，或在远处，被你赶到各国的人，都得罪了你，正如今日一样。To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but this day we are covered with shame—the men of Judah, the people of Jerusalem, and all Israel near and far, in all the countries to which You have driven us because of our unfaithfulness to You.

⁸主啊，我们和我们的君王、首领、列祖因得罪了你，就都脸上蒙羞。O LORD, we are covered with shame—our kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You.

⁹主—我们的　神是怜悯饶恕人的，我们却违背了他，To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him

¹⁰也没有听从耶和华—我们　神的话，没有遵行他借仆人众先知向我们所陈明的律法。and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God to walk in His laws, which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

¹¹以色列众人都犯了你的律法，偏行，不听从你的话；因此，在你仆人摩西律法上所写的咒诅和誓言都倾在我们身上，因我们得罪了　神。All Israel has transgressed Your law and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath and the curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.

¹²他使大灾祸临到我们，成就了警戒我们和审判我们官长的话；原来在普天之下未曾行过像在耶路撒冷所行的。You have carried out the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us a great disaster. For under all of heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.

¹³这一切灾祸临到我们身上是照摩西律法上所写的，我们却没有求耶和华—我们　神的恩典，使我们回头离开罪孽，明白你的真理。Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.

¹⁴所以耶和华留意使这灾祸临到我们身上，因为耶和华—我们的　神在他所行的事上都是公义；我们并没有听从他的话。Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does; yet we have not obeyed His voice.

¹⁵主—我们的　神啊，你曾用大能的手领你的子民出埃及地，使自己得了名，正如今日一样。我们犯了罪，作了恶。Now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and who made for Yourself a name renowned to this day, we have sinned; we have acted wickedly.

求你使脸光照你荒凉的圣所

¹⁶主啊，求你按你的大仁大义，使你的怒气和忿怒转离你的城耶路撒冷，就是你的圣山。耶路撒冷和你的子民，因我们的罪恶和我们列祖的罪孽被四围的人羞辱。O Lord, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, I pray that Your anger and wrath may turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are a reproach to all around us.

¹⁷我们的　神啊，现在求你垂听仆人的祈祷恳求，为自己使脸光照你荒凉的圣所。So now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to shine upon Your desolate sanctuary.

¹⁸我的　神啊，求你侧耳而听，睁眼而看，眷顾我们荒凉之地和称为你名下的城。我们在你面前恳求，原不是因自己的义，乃因你的大怜悯。Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great compassion.

¹⁹求主垂听，求主赦免，求主应允而行，为你自己不要迟延。我的　神啊，因这城和这民都是称为你名下的。”O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your name.”

加百列飞来

²⁰我说话，祷告，承认我的罪和本国之民以色列的罪，为我　神的圣山，在耶和华—我　神面前恳求。While I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and that of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning His holy mountain—

²¹我正祷告的时候，先前在异象中所见的那位加百列，奉命迅速飞来，约在献晚祭的时候，按手在我身上。while I was still praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.

²²他指教我说：“但以理啊，现在我出来要使你有智慧，有聪明。He instructed me and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight and understanding.

²³你初恳求的时候，就发出命令，我来告诉你，因你大蒙眷爱；所以你要思想明白这以下的事和异象。At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision:

七十个七

²⁴“为你本国之民和你圣城，已经定了七十个七。要止住罪过，除净罪恶，赎尽罪孽，引进（或译：彰显）永义，封住异象和预言，并膏至圣者（者：或译所）。Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to stop their transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

²⁵你当知道，当明白，从出令重新建造耶路撒冷，直到有受膏君的时候，必有七个七和六十二个七。正在艰难的时候，耶路撒冷城连街带濠都必重新建造。Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of distress.

²⁶过了六十二个七，那（或译：有）受膏者必被剪除，一无所有；必有一王的民来毁灭这城和圣所，至终必如洪水冲没。必有争战，一直到底，荒凉的事已经定了。Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing. Then the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.

²⁷一七之内，他必与许多人坚定盟约；一七之半，他必使祭祀与供献止息。那行毁坏可憎的（或译：使地荒凉的）如飞而来，并且有忿怒倾在那行毁坏的身上（或译：倾在那荒凉之地），直到所定的结局。”And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of the temple will come the abomination that causes desolation, until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.”

古列第三年的异象

¹波斯王古列第三年，有事显给称为伯提沙撒的但以理。这事是真的，是指着大争战；但以理通达这事，明白这异象。In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.

²当那时，我—但以理悲伤了三个七日。In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.

³美味我没有吃，酒肉没有入我的口，也没有用油抹我的身，直到满了三个七日。I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.

河边穿细麻衣的人

⁴正月二十四日，我在底格里斯大河边，On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,

⁵举目观看，见有一人身穿细麻衣，腰束乌法精金带。I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.

⁶他身体如水苍玉，面貌如闪电，眼目如火把，手和脚如光明的铜，说话的声音如大众的声音。His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.

⁷这异象惟有我—但以理一人看见，同着我的人没有看见。他们却大大战兢，逃跑隐藏，Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.

⁸只剩下我一人。我见了这大异象便浑身无力，面貌失色，毫无气力。So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.

⁹我却听见他说话的声音，一听见就面伏在地沉睡了。I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.

大蒙眷爱的但以理

¹⁰忽然，有一手按在我身上，使我用膝和手掌支持微起。Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

¹¹他对我说：“大蒙眷爱的但以理啊，要明白我与你所说的话，只管站起来，因为我现在奉差遣来到你这里。”他对我说这话，我便战战兢兢地立起来。He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up trembling.

波斯的魔君拦阻

¹²他就说：“但以理啊，不要惧怕！因为从你第一日专心求明白将来的事，又在你　神面前刻苦己心，你的言语已蒙应允；我是因你的言语而来。“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.

¹³但波斯国的魔君拦阻我二十一日。忽然有大君（就是天使长；二十一节同）中的一位米迦勒来帮助我，我就停留在波斯诸王那里。However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

¹⁴现在我来，要使你明白本国之民日后必遭遇的事，因为这异象关乎后来许多的日子。”Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”

天使使但以理有力量

¹⁵他向我这样说，我就脸面朝地，哑口无声。While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.

¹⁶不料，有一位像人的，摸我的嘴唇，我便开口向那站在我面前的说：“我主啊，因见这异象，我大大愁苦，毫无气力。And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength.

¹⁷我主的仆人怎能与我主说话呢？我一见异象就浑身无力，毫无气息。”How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any breath left in me.”

¹⁸有一位形状像人的又摸我，使我有力量。Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.

¹⁹他说：“大蒙眷爱的人哪，不要惧怕，愿你平安！你总要坚强。”他一向我说话，我便觉得有力量，说：“我主请说，因你使我有力量。”“Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”

与波斯和希腊的魔君争战

²⁰他就说：“你知道我为何来见你吗？现在我要回去与波斯的魔君争战，我去后，希腊（原文是雅完）的魔君必来。“Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come.

²¹但我要将那录在真确书上的事告诉你。除了你们的大君米迦勒之外，没有帮助我抵挡这两魔君的。”But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.

扶助米迦勒

¹又说：“当玛代王大利乌元年，我曾起来扶助米迦勒，使他坚强。“And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to strengthen and protect him.

问安

¹作长老的写信给亲爱的该犹，就是我诚心所爱的。The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:

²亲爱的兄弟啊，我愿你凡事兴盛，身体健壮，正如你的灵魂兴盛一样。Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.

按真理而行

³有弟兄来证明你心里存的真理，正如你按真理而行，我就甚喜乐。For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.

⁴我听见我的儿女们按真理而行，我的喜乐就没有比这个大的。I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

接待作客旅的弟兄

⁵亲爱的兄弟啊，凡你向作客旅之弟兄所行的都是忠心的。Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.

⁶他们在教会面前证明了你的爱；你若配得过　神，帮助他们往前行，这就好了。They have testified to the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

⁷因他们是为主的名（原文是那名）出外，对于外邦人一无所取。For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

⁸所以我们应该接待这样的人，叫我们与他们一同为真理做工。Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.

丢特腓的作为

⁹我曾略略地写信给教会，但那在教会中好为首的丢特腓不接待我们。I have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.

¹⁰所以我若去，必要提说他所行的事，就是他用恶言妄论我们。还不以此为足，他自己不接待弟兄，有人愿意接待，他也禁止，并且将接待弟兄的人赶出教会。So if I come, I will call attention to his malicious slander against us. And unsatisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so, even putting them out of the church.

效法善

¹¹亲爱的兄弟啊，不要效法恶，只要效法善。行善的属乎　神；行恶的未曾见过　神。Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

低米丢的好见证

¹²低米丢行善，有众人给他作见证，又有真理给他作见证，就是我们也给他作见证。你也知道我们的见证是真的。Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true.

盼望当面谈论

¹³我原有许多事要写给你，却不愿意用笔墨写给你，I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with pen and ink.

¹⁴但盼望快快地见你，我们就当面谈论。Instead, I hope to see you soon and speak with you face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send you greetings. Greet each of our friends there by name.
