Daniel 12

1 'And at that time stand up doth Michael, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of thy people, and there hath been a time of distress, such as hath not been since there hath been a nation till that time, and at that time do thy people escape, every one who is 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 the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches — to abhorrence age-during.

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 those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for 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 And thou, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the book till the time of the end, many do go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.'

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 And I have looked — I, Daniel — and lo, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood, and one there at the edge of the flood,

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 he saith to the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the waters of the flood, 'Till when [is] 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 hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the waters of the flood, and he doth lift up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sweareth by Him who is living to the age, that, 'After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, finished are all these.'

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 have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, 'O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?'

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 saith, 'Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things 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 Purify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea, refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do 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 of the turning aside of the perpetual [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety.

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 O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five.

等到一千三百三十五日的，那人便為有福。

13 And thou, go on to the end, then thou dost rest, and dost 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。」
