Daniel 12

1 And, at that time, will Michael, the great ruler who standeth for the sons of thy people, make a stand, and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, up to that time, —and, at that time, shall thy people, be delivered, every one 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 the sleepers in the dusty ground, shall awake, —these, [shall be] to age-abiding life, but, those, to reproach, and age-abiding abhorrence;

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 who make wise, shall shine like the shining of the expanse, —and, they who bring the many to righteousness, like the stars to times age-abiding and beyond.

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, Daniel, close up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end, —many will run to and fro, and knowledge, shall abound.

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 lo! two others, standing, —one on this side of the bank of the river, and one on that side of the bank of the river.

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 with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be the end of the 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 with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age-abiding, —For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things.

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 could not understand, —so I said, 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 Then said he, Go thy way, Daniel; for closed up and sealed are the words, until 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, will purify themselves and be made white and be refined, but the lawless, will act lawlessly, and none of the lawless, shall understand, —but, they who make 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 of the taking away of the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the placing of the horrid abomination that astoundeth, [shall be] one 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 Happy! is he that waiteth, and attaineth to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

等到一千三百三十五日的，那人便為有福。

13 But, thou, go thy way to the end, —and thou shalt rest, and shalt rise to 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。」
