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.
1. At that time, Michael will rise, the Great Commander who defends the sons of your people. It shall be a time of anguish as never before since the nations first existed until this very day. Then all those whose names are written in the Book will be saved.
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.
2. Many of those who sleep in the Region of the Dust will awake, some to everlasting life but others to eternal horror and shame.
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.
3. Those who acquired knowledge will shine like the brilliance of the firmament; those who taught people to be just will shine like the stars for all eternity.
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.
4. And you, Daniel, keep these words secret and have the Book sealed until the appointed time of the end. Many will wander looking here and there. Wickedness will go on increasing."
5. Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
5. I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing, one on either side of the river.
6. And [one] said to the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, How long [shall it be to] the end of these wonders?
6. One said to the man clothed in linen who was upstream, "When will these wonderful things take place?"
7. And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon 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 an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.
7. And I heard the answer of the man in linen who was upstream. He raised his hands to heaven and swore by the One who lives eternally: "Everything will be fulfilled within a time, two times and a half a time. When the holy people is completely crushed and without any strength, then these things will be fulfilled."
8. And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]?
8. I heard but did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?"
9. And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
9. He said, "Go, Daniel, for these words are secret and sealed until the appointed time of the end.
10. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
10. Many will be purified, cleansed and proved. The impious will go on doing evil, none of them will understand anything, only the learned will understand.
11. And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
11. From the time the perpetual sacrifice is suppressed and the Abominable Idol of the devastator is installed, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days.
12. Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
12. Fortunate is the one who waits and reaches a thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
13. But go thou thy way till the end [be]: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
13. And you, go your way until your end. You shall rest and then rise to receive your reward at the end of time."
