Daniel 12
1 “But at that time Michael will rise up, the great leader, who stands up for the sons of your people. And a time will come, such as has not been from the time that nations began, even until that time. And, at that time, your people will be saved, all who will be found written in the book.
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。
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awaken: some to everlasting life, and others to a reproach that they will always see.
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。
3 But those who have taught will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who instruct many towards justice, like the stars for unending eternity.
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。
4 But you, Daniel, close the message and seal the book, until the established time. Many will pass through, and knowledge will be increased.”
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。
5 And I, Daniel, looked, and behold, similarly two others stood up, one over here, on the bank of the river, and the other over there, on the other bank of the river.
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。
6 And I said to the man, who was clothed in linen, who stood over the waters of the river, “How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”
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﹖」
7 And I heard the man, who was clothed in linen, who stood over the waters of the river, when he had lifted his right hand and his left hand up to heaven, and had sworn by He who lives forever, that it would be for a time, and times, and half a time. And when the dispersion of the hand of the holy people is completed, all these things will be completed.
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。」
8 And I heard and did not understand. And I said, “My lord, what will be after these things?”
我聽了以後，仍不明白，便問說：「我主! 這些事的結局究竟怎樣﹖」
9 And he said, “Go, Daniel, for the words are closed and sealed until the predetermined time.
他回答說：「達尼爾，你去罷! 因為這些事隱藏密封，直到末期。
10 Many will be chosen and purified, and, as if by fire, they will be tested, and the impious will act impiously, and none of the impious will understand, yet the teachers will understand.
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。
11 And from the time when the continual sacrifice will be taken away and the abomination of desolation will be set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
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。
12 Blessed is he who waits and reaches until one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
凡能守候直到一千三百三十五天的，是有福的。
13 But you, go, until the predetermined time, and you will rest and will stand in your allotted place at the end of days.
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。」
