دَانِيآل 12

١ 1 «وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ يَقُومُ مِيخَائِيلُ ٱلرَّئِيسُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْقَائِمُ لِبَنِي شَعْبِكَ، وَيَكُونُ زَمَانُ ضِيقٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُنْذُ كَانَتْ أُمَّةٌ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ يُنَجَّى شَعْبُكَ، كُلُّ مَنْ يُوجَدُ مَكْتُوبًا فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ.

At that time Michael the great prince, the protector of your people, will stand up and there will be a time of trouble like never before, since nations first existed. But at that time your people will be saved, all whose names are written in the book.

٢ 2 وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ فِي تُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَسْتَيْقِظُونَ، هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْعَارِ لِلِٱزْدِرَاءِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ.

Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.

٣ 3 وَٱلْفَاهِمُونَ يَضِيئُونَ كَضِيَاءِ ٱلْجَلَدِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ رَدُّوا كَثِيرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْبِرِّ كَٱلْكَوَاكِبِ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلدُّهُورِ.

Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky; those who have shown many the right way to live will shine as bright as the stars forever and ever.

٤ 4 «أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا دَانِيآلُ فَأَخْفِ ٱلْكَلَامَ وَٱخْتِمِ ٱلسِّفْرَ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. كَثِيرُونَ يَتَصَفَّحُونَهُ وَٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ تَزْدَادُ».

But as for you, Daniel, keep this message secret, and seal the book closed until the time of the end. Many will search this way and that way, and knowledge will grow greater and greater.”

٥ 5 فَنَظَرْتُ أَنَا دَانِيآلَ وَإِذَا بِٱثْنَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ قَدْ وَقَفَا وَاحِدٌ مِنْ هُنَا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَآخَرُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ.

Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.

٦ 6 وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱللَّابِسِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ فَوْقِ مِيَاهِ ٱلنَّهْرِ: «إِلَى مَتَى ٱنْتِهَاءُ ٱلْعَجَائِبِ؟»

One of then asked the man dressed in linen who was above the river's waters, “How long before these outrageous things come to an end?”

٧ 7 فَسَمِعْتُ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ فَوْقِ مِيَاهِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، إِذْ رَفَعَ يُمْنَاهُ وَيُسْرَاهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحَلَفَ بِٱلْحَيِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ: «إِنَّهُ إِلَى زَمَانٍ وَزَمَانَيْنِ وَنِصْفٍ. فَإِذَا تَمَّ تَفْرِيقُ أَيْدِي ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ تَتِمُّ كُلُّ هَذِهِ».

The man dressed in linen, who was above the river's waters, lifted both hands to heaven made a solemn promise by the One who lives eternally. I heard him say, “It will last for a time, times, and half a time. When the scattering of the power of the holy people has come to an end, then all these things will also come to an end.”

٨ 8 وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ وَمَا فَهِمْتُ. فَقُلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، مَا هِيَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ؟»

I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”

٩ 9 فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبْ يَا دَانِيآلُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ مَخْفِيَّةٌ وَمَخْتُومَةٌ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ.

“Daniel, you can go on your way now,” he replied, “for this message is secret and kept sealed until the time of the end.

١٠ 10 كَثِيرُونَ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ وَيُبَيَّضُونَ وَيُمَحَّصُونَ، أَمَّا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فَيَفْعَلُونَ شَرًّا. وَلَا يَفْهَمُ أَحَدُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، لَكِنِ ٱلْفَاهِمُونَ يَفْهَمُونَ.

Many will be purified and cleansed and refined, but the wicked will go on being wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.

١١ 11 وَمِنْ وَقْتِ إِزَالَةِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَإِقَامَةِ رِجْسِ ٱلْمُخَرَّبِ أَلْفٌ وَمِئَتَانِ وَتِسْعُونَ يَوْمًا.

From the time the continual ministry is stopped in order to set up the idolatry that causes devastation will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

١٢ 12 طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَيَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلْأَلْفِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِ مِئَةٍ وَٱلْخَمْسَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا.

Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ فتَسْتَرِيحَ، وتَقُومَ لِقُرعَتِكَ فِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ».

But as for you, go your way until your life ends, and then rest. You will rise to receive your reward at the end of time.”
