| 尼布甲尼撒的梦
|
但以理的解释
|
附记
|
|---|
| 31 王阿，你观看，看见一个大像。这像巨大，极其光耀，站在你面前，样子甚是可怕。
|
|
天上的神已将末后日子必发生的事指示尼布甲尼撒王
|
|
|
36 这就是那梦；我们在王面前要讲解那梦。
|
The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy.
|
|
|
37 王阿，你是诸王之王，天上的神已将国度、权能、力量、荣耀，都赐给了你；38 无论住在何处的世人、田野的走兽、并天空的飞鸟，祂都已交付你手，使你掌管这一切。
|
|
| 32 头是精金的
|
你就是那金头(巴比倫帝國)。
|
|
| 胸膛和膀臂
|
39 在你以后必另有一国兴起(米底王國及波斯帝國)，
|
|
| 是银的
|
不及于你
|
|
| 肚腹和腰
|
又有第三国，
|
|
| 是铜的(希臘帝國)
|
就是铜的，
|
|
|
|
必掌管全地
|
|
| 33 腿
|
必有第四国
|
|
| 是铁的(羅馬共和國) (羅馬帝國)
|
坚强如铁—像铁一样能打碎克制百物；铁怎样能压碎一切，那国也必照样打碎压制列国
|
|
| 脚
|
41 你既看见那像的脚和脚指头，
|
|
| 是半铁半泥的(大英帝國和美國，或指現今的世界)
|
一半是窑匠的泥，一半是铁
|
so this will be a divided kingdom;
|
|
|
你既看见铁与陶泥搀杂
|
那国也必有铁的坚硬
|
|
|
42 那些脚指头，既是半铁半泥，
|
那国也必半强半弱；
|
|
|
43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay,
|
那国将来也必是混杂的，那国的民也必人种搀杂，
|
|
|
any more than iron mixes with clay
|
却不能彼此相合
|
| 34 While you were watching,
|
44 "In the time of those kings,
|
|
| a rock was cut out,
|
the God of heaven will set up a kingdom
|
45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain,
|
| but not by human hands.
|
|
but not by human hands
|
|
|
that will never be destroyed,
|
|
|
|
nor will it be left to another people.
|
|
| It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay
|
|
|
| and smashed them.
|
It will crush all those kingdoms
|
|
| 35 于是铁、泥、铜、银、金
|
|
… 于是铁、泥、铜、银、金
|
| 都一同砸得粉碎
|
|
a rock that broke ... to pieces.
|
| at the same time
|
|
|
| 成如夏天禾场上的糠秕
|
|
|
| 被风吹散
|
|
|
| 无处可寻
|
and bring them to an end,
|
|
| But the rock that struck the statue
|
|
|
| 变成一座大山
|
but it will itself endure forever.
|
|
| 充满全地
|
