¹ 伯沙撒王在位第三年，有异象现与我─但以理，是在先前所见的异象之後。

² 我见了异象的时候，我以为在以拦省书珊城（或译：宫）中；我见异象又如在乌莱河边。

³ 我举目观看，见有双角的公绵羊站在河边，两角都高。这角高过那角，更高的是後长的。

⁴ 我见那公绵羊往西、往北、往南抵触，兽在它面前都站立不住，也没有能救护脱离它手的，但它任意而行，自高自大。

⁵ 我正思想的时候，见有一只公山羊从西而来，遍行全地，脚不沾尘。这山羊两眼当中有一非常的角。

⁶ 他往我所看见、站在河边有双角的公绵羊那里去，大发忿怒，向他直闯。

⁷ 我见公山羊就近公绵羊，向它发烈怒、抵触它，折断它的两角。

⁸ 这山羊极其自高自大，正强盛的时候，那大角折断了，又在角根上向天的四方（原文是风）长出四个非常的角来。

⁹ 四角之中有一角长出一个小角，向南、向东、向荣美之地，渐渐成为强大。

¹⁰ 他渐渐强大，高及天象，将些天象和星宿抛落在地，用脚践踏。

¹¹ 并且他自高自大，以为高及天象之君；除掉常献给君的燔祭，毁坏君的圣所。

¹² 因罪过的缘故，有军旅和常献的燔祭交付他。他将真理抛在地上，任意而行，无不顺利。

¹³ 我听见有一位圣者说话，又有一位圣者问那说话的圣者说：这除掉常献的燔祭和施行毁坏的罪过，将圣所与军旅（或译：以色列的军）践踏的异象，要到几时才应验呢？

¹⁴ 他对我说：到二千三百日，圣所就必洁净。

¹⁵ 我─但以理见了这异象，愿意明白其中的意思。忽有一位形状像人的站在我面前。

¹⁶ 我又听见乌莱河两岸中有人声呼叫说：加百列啊，要使此人明白这异象。

¹⁷ 他便来到我所站的地方。他一来，我就惊慌俯伏在地；他对我说：人子啊，你要明白，因为这是关乎末後的异象。

¹⁸ 他与我说话的时候，我面伏在地沉睡；他就摸我，扶我站起来，

¹⁹ 说：我要指示你恼怒临完必有的事，因为这是关乎末後的定期。

²⁰ 你所看见双角的公绵羊，就是玛代和波斯王。

²¹ 那公山羊就是希利尼王（希利尼：原文是雅完；下同）；两眼当中的大角就是头一王。

²² 至於那折断了的角，在其根上又长出四角，这四角就是四国，必从这国里兴起来，只是权势都不及他。

²³ 这四国末时，犯法的人罪恶满盈，必有一王兴起，面貌凶恶，能用双关的诈语。

²⁴ 他的权柄必大，却不是因自己的能力；他必行非常的毁灭，事情顺利，任意而行；又必毁灭有能力的和圣民。

²⁵ 他用权术成就手中的诡计，心里自高自大，在人坦然无备的时候，毁灭多人；又要站起来攻击万君之君，至终却非因人手而灭亡。

²⁶ 所说二千三百日的异象是真的，但你要将这异象封住，因为关乎後来许多的日子。

²⁷ 於是我─但以理昏迷不醒，病了数日，然後起来办理王的事务。我因这异象惊奇，却无人能明白其中的意思。

¹ A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise, and measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.

² Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

³ I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

⁴ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.

⁵ If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

⁶ These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

⁷ When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

⁸ Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

⁹ From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

¹⁰ Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

¹¹ After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.

¹² I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.

¹³ In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁴ The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.

¹⁵ The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!"

¹⁶ The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God's throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,

¹⁷ saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned.

¹⁸ The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints, and those who fear your name, to the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

¹⁹ God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
