¹冊上有名的必蒙拯救“那時保護你同胞的偉大護衛天使米迦勒必站起來；並且必有患難的時期，是立國以來直到那時未曾有過的。那時你的同胞中名字記錄在冊上的，都必得拯救。

¹And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who 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.

²必有許多睡在塵土中的人醒過來，有的要得永生，有的要受羞辱，永遠被憎惡。

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

³那些使人有智慧的必發光，好像天上的光體；那些使許多人歸義的必發光，如同星星，直到永永遠遠。

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

⁴但以理啊！你要隱藏這些話，把這書密封，直到末期，必有許多人來往奔跑，知識增多。”

⁴But 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.

⁵下令封閉預言直到末期我但以理觀看，看見另有兩個天使，一個站在河岸的這邊，一個站在河岸的那邊。

⁵Then 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.

⁶有一個問那身穿細麻衣、站在河水以上的人，說：“這些奇異的事的結局幾時才到呢？”

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

⁷我聽見那身穿細麻衣、站在河水以上的人，向天舉起左右手，指著活到永遠的主起誓，說：“要經過一載、二載、半載（“一載、二載、半載”或譯：“一個時期、多個時期、半個時期”）；在他們完全粉碎聖民的勢力的時候，這一切事就都要完成。”

⁷And I heard the man clothed in linen, who 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 for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

⁸我聽見，卻不明白，我就問：“我主啊，這些事的結局是怎樣呢？”

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

⁹他回答：“但以理啊！你只管去吧，因為這些話已經隱藏密封，直到末期。

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

¹⁰許多人必潔淨自己，使自己潔白，並且被熬煉。可是惡人仍然作惡。所有惡人都不明白，只有那些使人有智慧的才能明白。

¹⁰Many 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 are wise shall understand.

¹¹從廢除常獻祭，並設立那使地荒涼的可憎的像的時候起，必有一千二百九十天。

¹¹And 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 and two hundred and ninety days.

¹²等候到一千三百三十五日的，那人是有福的。

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

¹³你應去等待結局！你必安歇；到了末日，你必起來，承受你的分。”

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