但以理书 4

Studie

   

1 尼布甲尼撒王晓谕住在全地各方、各国、各族的人说:愿你们大享平安!

2 我乐意将至的神向我所行的神迹奇事宣扬出来。

3 他的神迹何其大!他的奇事何其盛!他的国是永远的;他的权柄存到万代!

4 尼布甲尼撒安居在宫中,平顺在殿内。

5 我做了一梦,使我惧怕。我在床上的思念,并脑中的异象,使我惊惶。

6 所以我降旨召巴比伦的一切哲士到我面前,叫他们把梦的讲解告诉我。

7 於是那些术士、用法术的、迦勒底人、观兆的都进来,我将那梦告诉了他们,他们却不能把梦的讲解告诉我。

8 末後那照我神的名,称为伯提沙撒的但以理来到我面前,他里头有圣神的灵,我将梦告诉他说:

9 术士的领袖伯提沙撒啊,因我知道你里头有圣神的灵,甚麽奥秘的事都不能使你为难。现在要把我梦中所见的异象和梦的讲解告诉我。

10 我在床上脑中的异象是这样:我看见地当中有一棵树,极其大。

11 那树渐长,而且坚固,高得顶天,从地极都能看见,

12 叶子华美,果子甚多,可作众生的食物;田野的走兽卧在荫,天空的飞鸟宿在枝上;凡有血气的都从这树得食。

13 我在床上脑中的异象,见有一位守望的圣者从天而降。

14 大声呼叫:伐倒这树!砍枝子!摇掉叶子!抛散果子!使走兽离开树,飞鸟躲开树枝。

15 树墩却要留在地内,用铁圈和铜圈箍住,在田野的青草中让天露滴湿,使他与地上的兽一同吃草,

16 使他的心改变,不如人心;给他一个兽心,使他经过期(期:或译年;本章同)。

17 这是守望者所发的命,圣者所出的令,好叫世人知道至者在人的国中掌权,要将国赐与谁就赐与谁,或立极卑微的人执掌国权。

18 这是我─尼布甲尼撒王所做的梦。伯提沙撒啊,你要说明这梦的讲解;因为我国中的一切哲士都不能将梦的讲解告诉我,惟独你能,因你里头有圣神的灵。

19 於是称为伯提沙撒的但以理惊讶片时,心意惊惶。王:伯提沙撒啊,不要因梦和梦的讲解惊惶。伯提沙撒回答:我主啊,愿这梦归与恨恶你的人,讲解归与你的敌人。

20 你所见的树渐长,而且坚固,得顶天,从地极都能看见;

21 叶子华美,果子甚多,可作众生的食物;田野的走兽住在其;天空的飞鸟宿在枝上。

22 王啊,这渐长又坚固的树就是你。你的威势渐长及天,你的权柄管到地极。

23 王既看见一位守望的圣者从天而降,:将这树砍伐毁坏,树墩却要留在地内,用铁圈和铜圈箍住;在田野的青草中,让天露滴湿,使他与地上的兽一同吃草,直到经过七期。

24 王啊,讲解就是这样:临到我主我王的事是出於至者的命。

25 你必被赶出离开世人,与野地的兽同居,吃草如牛,被天露滴湿,且要经过七期。等你知道至者在人的国中掌权,要将国赐与谁就赐与谁。

26 守望者既吩咐存留树墩,等你知道诸天掌权,以後你的国必定归你。

27 王啊,求你悦纳我的谏言,以施行公断绝罪过,以怜悯穷人除掉罪孽,或者你的平安可以延长。

28 这事都临到尼布甲尼撒王。

29 过了十二个月,他游行在巴比伦王宫里(原文是上)。

30 :这大巴比伦不是我用大能大力建为京都,要显我威严的荣耀麽?

31 这话在王口中尚未完,有声音从天降下,尼布甲尼撒王啊,有话对你,你的国位离开你了。

32 你必被赶出离开世人,与野地的兽同居,吃草如牛,且要经过七期。等你知道至者在人的国中掌权,要将国赐与谁就赐与谁。

33 当时这话就应验在尼布甲尼撒的身上,他被赶出离开世人,吃草如牛,身被天露滴湿,头发长长,好像鹰毛;指甲长长,如同鸟爪。

34 日子满足,我─尼布甲尼撒举目望天,我的聪明复归於我,我便称颂至者,赞美尊敬活到永远的神。他的权柄是永有的;他的国存到万代。

35 世上所有的居民都算为虚无;在天上的万军和世上的居民中,他都凭自己的意旨行事。无人能拦住他手,或问他,你做甚麽呢?

36 那时,我的聪明复归於我,为我国的荣耀、威严,和光耀也都复归於我;并且我的谋士和大臣也来朝见我。我又得坚立在国位上,至大的权柄加增於我。

37 现在我─尼布甲尼撒赞美、尊崇、恭敬天上的王;因为他所做的全都诚实,他所行的也都公平。那行动骄傲的,他能降为卑。
