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。
“At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. At that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written 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。
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
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。
Those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the expanse. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever 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 you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many will run back and forth, and knowledge 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, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on the river bank on this side, and the other on the river bank 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﹖」
One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above 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。」
I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it will be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have finished breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.
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﹖」
I heard, but I didn’t understand. Then I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome 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。
He said, “Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until 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。
Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
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。
“From the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
12 凡能守候直到一千三百三十五天的，是有福的。
Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred 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 go your way until the end; for you will rest, and will stand in your inheritance at the end of the days.”
