但以理书 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
末日
12 “那时,守护你本国人民的天使长米迦勒必出现。将有一段灾难时期,是开国以来从未有过的。那时,你同胞中凡名字记在册子上的,必得拯救。 2 许多长眠地下的人必醒过来,有些得到永生,有些蒙受羞辱,永远被憎恶。 3 智者必发出光辉,如耀眼的穹苍;引导多人归向公义的人必如闪烁的星辰,直到永永远远。 4 但以理啊,这些话要保密,要把这书封起来,直到末了。许多人必四处探究,因而知识必增多。”
5 我但以理观看,见另有两个人分别站在河的两岸。 6 其中一人问身穿细麻衣、站在河水之上的人:“这奇异的事何时才应验呢?” 7 我听见身穿细麻衣、站在河水之上的人向天举起双手,凭永活者起誓说:“再过三年半,等摧毁圣民的权势结束时,这一切事都要成就。” 8 我听见这话,却不明白,就问他:“我主啊,这些事的结局会怎样呢?” 9 他说:“但以理啊,你走吧,因为这些事要保密,要被封起来,一直到末了。 10 许多人必被净化、洗涤、炼净。但恶人必依旧作恶,他们无人明白,只有智者能明白。 11 从废除日常献的祭、设立带来毁灭的可憎之物算起,必经过一千二百九十天。 12 能等候一千三百三十五天的人有福了! 13 你要坚持到底。你必得到安息,到了末后的日子,你必起来承受你的产业。”
Daniel 12
Contemporary English Version
Part Four: The Dead Will Rise to Life
12 (A) Michael, the chief of the angels, is the protector of your people, and he will come at a time of terrible suffering, the worst in all of history. And your people who have their names written in The Book[a] will be protected. 2 (B) Many of those who lie dead in the ground will rise from death. Some of them will be given eternal life, and others will receive nothing but eternal shame and disgrace. 3 (C) Everyone who has been wise will shine as bright as the sky above, and everyone who has led others to please God will shine forever like the stars.
4 (D) Daniel, I now command you to keep the message of this book secret until the end of time, even though many people will go everywhere, searching for the knowledge to be found in it.[b]
The End of Time
5 Daniel wrote:
I looked around and saw two other people—one on this side of the river and one on the other side. 6 The angel who had spoken to me was dressed in linen and was standing upstream from them.[c] So one of the two beside the river asked him, “How long before these amazing things happen?”
7 (E) The angel then raised both hands toward heaven and said, “In the name of the God who lives forever, I solemnly promise that it will be a time, two times, and half a time.[d] Everything will be over, when the suffering of God's holy people comes to an end.”
8 I heard what the angel said, but I didn't understand. So I asked, “Sir, how will it all end?”
The angel in my vision then replied:
9 Daniel, go about your business, because the meaning of this message will remain secret until the end of time. 10 (F) Many people will have their hearts and lives made pure and clean, but those who are evil will keep on being evil and never understand. Only the wise will understand. 11 (G) There will be 1,290 days from the time that the daily sacrifices are stopped, until someone sets up the “Horrible Thing” that causes destruction. 12 God will bless everyone who patiently waits until 1,335 days have gone by.
13 So, Daniel, be faithful until the end! You will rest, and at the end of time, you will rise from death to receive your reward.

New King James Version
Prophecy of the End Time
12 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
(A)And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people (B)shall be delivered,
Every one who is found (C)written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
(D)Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame (E)and everlasting [a]contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall (F)shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
(G)And those who turn many to righteousness
(H)Like the stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Daniel, (I)shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall (J)run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that (K)riverbank. 6 And one said to the man clothed in (L)linen, who was above the waters of the river, (M)“How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”
7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he (N)held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him (O)who lives forever, (P)that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; (Q)and when the power of (R)the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”
9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 (S)Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, (T)but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but (U)the wise shall understand.
11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 “But you, go your way till the end; (V)for you shall rest, (W)and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
