Daniel 12
1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who guards your people, will rise up. There will be a time of trouble such as never was since the beginning of any nation until that time. At that time your people will be saved, everyone whose name is found written in the book.
Til den Tid skal Mikal stå frem, den store fyrste, som værner dit Folks Sønner, og en Trængselstid kommer, som hidtil ikke har haft sin Mage, så længe der var Folkeslag til. Men på den Tid skal dit Folk frelses, alle, der er optegnet i Bogen.
2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Og mange af dem, der sover under Mulde, skal vågne, nogle til evigt Liv, andre til Skam, til evig Afsky.
3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky above, and those who turn many to righteousness, are like the stars forever and ever.
De forstandige skal stråle som Himmelhvælvingens Glans, og de, der førte de mange til Retfærdighed, skal lyse som Stjerner evigt og altid.
4 But you, Daniel, close up these words; keep the book sealed until the time of the end. Many will run here and there, and knowledge will increase.”
Men du, Daniel, sæt Lukke for Ordene og Segl for Bogen til Endens Tid! Mange skal granske i den, og Kundskaben skal blive stor."
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and there were two others standing. One stood on the bank on this side of the river, and one stood on the bank on the other side of the river.
Og jeg, Daniel, skuede, og se, der stod to andre hver på sin Side af Floden.
6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, the one who was upstream along the river, “How long will it be to the end of these amazing events?”
Og den ene spurgte Manden, som bar de linnede Klæder og svævede over Flodens Vande: "Hvor længe varer det, før disse sælsomme Ting er til Ende?"
7 I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upstream along the river—he raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.
Så hørte jeg Manden i de linnede Klæder, ham, som svævede over Flodens Vande, sværge ved ham, som lever evindelig, idet han løftede begge Hænder mod Himmelen: "Een Tid, to Tider og en halv Tid! Når hans Magt, som knuser det hellige Folk, er til Ende, skal alle disse Ting fuldbyrdes."
8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My master, what will be the outcome of all these things?”
Og jeg hørte det, men fattede det ikke; så spurgte jeg: "Herre hvad er det sidste af disse Ting?"
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Og han svarede: "Gå bort, Daniel, thi for Ordene er der sat Lukke og Segl til Endens Tid.
10 Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
Mange skal sigtes, renses og lutres, men de gudløse handler gudløst, og ingen af de gudløse skal forstå, men det skal de forstandige.
11 From the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that causes complete desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
Fra den Tid det daglige Offer ophæves og Ødelæggelsens Vederstyggelighed rejses, skal der gå 1290 Dage.
12 Blessed is the one who waits until the end of the 1,335 days.
Salig er den, der holder ud og oplever 1335 Dage.
13 You must go your way until the end, and you will rest. You will rise in the place assigned to you, at the end of days.”
Men gå du, Enden i Møde, læg dig til Hvile og stå op til din Lod, ved Dagenes Ende!
