Daniel 12

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

「那時，保佑你本國之民的天使長米迦勒必站起來，並且有大艱難，從有國以來直到此時，沒有這樣的。你本國的民中，凡名錄在冊上的，必得拯救。

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

睡在塵埃中的，必有多人復醒。其中有得永生的，有受羞辱永遠被憎惡的。

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

智慧人必發光如同天上的光；那使多人歸義的，必發光如星，直到永永遠遠。

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

但以理啊，你要隱藏這話，封閉這書，直到末時。必有多人來往奔跑，知識就必增長。」

5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side.

我－但以理觀看，見另有兩個人站立：一個在河這邊，一個在河那邊。

6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

有一個問那站在河水以上、穿細麻衣的說：「這奇異的事到幾時才應驗呢？」

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth fear ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

我聽見那站在河水以上、穿細麻衣的，向天舉起左右手，指着活到永遠的主起誓說：「要到一載、二載、半載，打破聖民權力的時候，這一切事就都應驗了。」

8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?

我聽見這話，卻不明白，就說：「我主啊，這些事的結局是怎樣呢？」

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.

他說：「但以理啊，你只管去；因為這話已經隱藏封閉，直到末時。

10 Many shall purify themselves; and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand: but they that be wise shall understand.

必有許多人使自己清淨潔白，且被熬煉；但惡人仍必行惡，一切惡人都不明白，惟獨智慧人能明白。

11 And from the time that the continual [burnt offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

從除掉常獻的燔祭，並設立那行毀壞可憎之物的時候，必有一千二百九十日。

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

等到一千三百三十五日的，那人便為有福。

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and shalt stand in thy lot, at the end of the days.

「你且去等候結局，因為你必安歇。到了末期，你必起來，享受你的福分。」
