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.

And, at that time, will Michael, the great ruler who standeth for the sons of thy people, make a stand, and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, up to that time, —and, at that time, shall thy people, be delivered, every one found written in the book;

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.

and, many of the sleepers in the dusty ground, shall awake, —these, [shall be] to age-abiding life, but, those, to reproach, and age-abiding abhorrence;

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.

and, they who make wise, shall shine like the shining of the expanse, —and, they who bring the many to righteousness, like the stars to times age-abiding and beyond.

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.”

But, thou, Daniel, close up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end, —many will run to and fro, and knowledge, shall abound.

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.

Then, I, Daniel, looked, and lo! two others, standing, —one on this side of the bank of the river, and one on that side of the bank of the river.

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?”

And one said to the man clothed with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be the end of the wonders?

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.

And I heard the man clothed with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age-abiding, —For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things.

8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My master, what will be the outcome of all these things?”

And, I, heard, but could not understand, —so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things?

9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

Then said he, Go thy way, Daniel; for closed up and sealed are the words, until the time of the end.

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.

Many, will purify themselves and be made white and be refined, but the lawless, will act lawlessly, and none of the lawless, shall understand, —but, they who make wise, shall understand;

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.

and, from the time of the taking away of the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the placing of the horrid abomination that astoundeth, [shall be] one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is the one who waits until the end of the 1,335 days.

Happy! is he that waiteth, and attaineth to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

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.”

But, thou, go thy way to the end, —and thou shalt rest, and shalt rise to thy lot at the end of the days.
