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。
Forsothe in that tyme Miyhel, the greet prince, schal rise, that stondith for the sones of thi puple. And tyme schal come, what maner tyme was not, fro that tyme fro which folkis bigunnen to be, `vn to that tyme. And in that tyme thi puple schal be saued, ech that is foundun writun in the book of life.
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 many of hem that slepen in the dust of erthe, schulen awake fulli, summe in to euerlastynge lijf, and othere in to schenschipe, that thei se euere.
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。
Forsothe thei that ben tauyt, schulen schyne as the schynyng of the firmament, and thei that techen many men to riytfulnesse, schulen schyne as sterris in to euerlastynge euerlastyngnessis.
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 thou, Danyel, close the wordis, and aseele the book, til to the tyme ordeyned; ful many men schulen passe, and kunnyng schal be many fold.
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。
And Y, Danyel, siy, and lo! as tweyne othere men stood; oon stood on this side, on the brenk of the flood, and another on that side, on the tother part of the flood.
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 Y seide to the man, that was clothid in lynnun clothis, that stood on the watris of the flood, Hou long schal be the ende of these merueils?
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。」
And Y herde the man, that was clothid in lynnun clothis, that stood on the watris of the flood, whanne he hadde reisid his riythond and lefthond to heuene, and hadde sworun by hym that lyueth with outen ende, For in to a tyme, and tymes, and the half of tyme. And whanne the scateryng of the hoond of the hooli puple is fillid, alle these thingis schulen be fillid.
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 Y herde, and vndurstood not; and Y seide, My lord, what schal be aftir these thingis?
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 seide, Go thou, Danyel, for the wordis ben closid and aseelid, til to the tyme determyned.
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 men schulen be chosun, and schulen be maad whijt, and schulen be preued as fier, and wickid men schulen do wickidli, nether alle wickid men schulen vndurstonde; certis tauyt men schulen vndurstonde.
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 fro the tyme whanne contynuel sacrifice is takun awei, and abhomynacioun is set in to discoumfort, schulen be a thousynde daies two hundrid and nynti.
12 凡能守候直到一千三百三十五天的，是有福的。
He is blessid, that abideth, and cometh fulli, til a thousynde daies thre hundrid and fyue and thritti.
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 thou, Danyel, to the tyme determyned; and thou schalt reste, and stonde in thi part, in the ende of daies.
