但以理書 12
1 那時保佑你國家子民的偉大護守天使彌額爾必要起來；那將是一個災難的時期，是自開國以來，直到那時從未有過的；那時，你的人民，凡是名錄在那書上的，都必得救。
And at that time Michael will take up his place, the great angel, who is the supporter of the children of your people: and there will be a time of trouble, such as there never was from the time there was a nation even till that same time: and at that time your people will be kept safe, everyone who is recorded in the book.
2 許多長眠於塵土中的人，要醒起來：有的要入於永生，有的要永遠蒙羞受辱。
And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.
3 賢明之士要發光有如穹蒼的光輝；那些引導多人歸於正義的人，要永遠發光如同星辰。
And those who are wise will be shining like the light of the outstretched sky; and those by whom numbers have been turned to righteousness will be like the stars for ever and ever.
4 至於你，達尼爾! 你要隱藏這些話，密封這部書，直到末期；將有許多人要探討，因而智識必要增長。
But as for you, O Daniel, let the words be kept secret and the book rolled up and kept shut till the time of the end: numbers will be going out of the way and troubles will be increased.
5 那時我達尼爾觀望：看見另有兩位天使，一位站在河岸這邊，一位站在河岸那邊。
Then I, Daniel, looking, saw two others, one at the edge of the river on this side and one at the edge of the river on that side.
6 我就問那身穿細麻衣，站在河水上的人說：「幾時這些奇事纔會實現呢﹖」
And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was over the waters of the river, How long will it be to the end of these wonders?
7 我聽見那身穿細麻衣，站在河水上的人向天舉起左手及右手，指著永生者起誓說：「的確，這事必須經過一段時期，另兩段時期和半段時期：直到摧殘聖民的勢力終止時，這一切事纔要實現。」
Then in my hearing the man clothed in linen, who was over the river, lifting up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, took an oath by him who is living for ever that it would be a time, times, and a half; and when the power of the crusher of the holy people comes to an end, all these things will be ended.
8 我聽了以後，仍不明白，便問說：「我主! 這些事的結局究竟怎樣﹖」
And the words came to my ears, but the sense of them was not clear to me: then I said, O my lord, what is the sense of these things?
9 他回答說：「達尼爾，你去罷! 因為這些事隱藏密封，直到末期。
And he said, Go on your way, Daniel: for the words are secret and shut up till the time of the end;
10 將有許多人要使自己純潔清白，並受鍛鍊，而惡人卻要更加作惡；凡作惡的人不能明白，惟有賢明之士纔能明白。
Till a number are tested and make themselves clean; and the evil-doers will do evil; for not one of the evil-doers will have knowledge; but all will be made clear to those who are wise.
11 自從廢棄日常祭，設立那招致荒涼的可憎之物的時候起，必要經歷一千二百九十天。
And from the time when the regular burned offering is taken away, and an unclean thing causing fear is put up, there will be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days.
12 凡能守候直到一千三百三十五天的，是有福的。
A blessing will be on the man who goes on waiting, and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 你應去等候末期，好好安息罷! 到末日，你要起來接受你的福分。」
But you, go on your way and take your rest: for you will be in your place at the end of the days.
