Daniel 12

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of distress, such as never was since there was a nation until that time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that is found written in the book.

١ «وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ يَقُومُ الرَّئِيسُ الْعَظِيمُ الْمَلاكُ مِيخَائِيلُ حَارِسُ شَعْبِكَ، وَذَلِكَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ ضِيقٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَثِيلٌ مُنْذُ أَنْ وُجِدَتْ أُمَّةٌ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ اسْمُهُ مُدَوَّناً فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ يَنْجُو فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt.

٢ وَيَسْتَيْقِظُ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ الْمَدْفُونِينَ فِي تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ، بَعْضُهُمْ لِيُثَابُوا بِالْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ وَبَعْضُهُمْ لِيُسَامُوا ذُلَّ الْعَارِ وَالازْدِرَاءِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

3 And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars, for ever and ever.

٣ وَيُضِيءُ الْحُكَمَاءُ (أَيْ شَعْبُ اللهِ) كَضِيَاءِ الْجَلَدِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ رَدُّوا كَثِيرِينَ إِلَى الْبِرِّ يَشِعُّونَ كَالْكَوَاكِبِ إِلَى مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

4 And thou, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book, till the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

٤ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا دَانِيَالُ فَاكْتُمِ الْكَلامَ، وَاخْتِمْ عَلَى الْكِتَابِ إِلَى مِيعَادِ النِّهَايَةِ. وَكَثِيرُونَ يَطُوفُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَتَزْدَادُ الْمَعْرِفَةُ».

5 And I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, the one on this side, on the bank of the river, and the other on that side, on the bank of the river.

٥ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ أَنَا دَانِيَالَ فَإِذَا بِاثْنَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ وَقَفَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى ضَفَّةٍ مِنْ ضَفَّتَيِ النَّهْرِ،

6 And he said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long [is it to] the end of these wonders?

٦ سَأَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا الرَّجُلَ اللّابِسَ الْكَتَّانِ الْوَاقِفَ عَلَى مِيَاهِ النَّهْرِ: «مَتَى يَنْقَضِي زَمَنُ هَذِهِ الأَحْدَاثِ الْعَجِيبَةِ؟».

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river; and he held up his right hand and his left hand unto the heavens, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it is for a time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.

٧ فَسَمِعْتُ الرَّجُلَ اللّابِسَ الْكَتَّانِ الْوَاقِفَ فَوْقَ مِيَاهِ النَّهْرِ يَقُولُ، بَعْدَ أَنْ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاوَاتِ مُقْسِماً بِالْحَيِّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ: «تَنْقَضِي هَذِهِ الْعَجَائِبُ بَعْدَ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفٍ، حِينَ يَتِمُّ تَشْتِيتُ قُوَّةِ الشَّعْبِ الْمُقَدَّسِ».

8 And I heard, but I understood not. And I said, My lord, what shall be the end of these things?

٨ فَسَمِعْتُ مَا قَالَهُ وَلَكِنَّنِي لَمْ أَفْهَمْ، فَسَأَلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي مَا هِيَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ؟»

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for these words are closed and sealed till the time of the end.

٩ فَأَجَابَ: «اذْهَبْ يَا دَانِيَالُ لأَنَّ الْكَلِمَاتِ مَكْتُومَةٌ وَمَخْتُومَةٌ إِلَى وَقْتِ النِّهَايَةِ.

10 Many shall be purified, and be made white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

١٠ كَثِيرُونَ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ وَيَتَنَقَّوْنَ وَيُمَحَّصُونَ بِالتَّجَارِبِ، أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَيَرْتَكِبُونَ شَرّاً وَلا يَفْهَمُونَ. إِنَّمَا ذَوُو الْفِطْنَةِ يُدْرِكُونَ.

11 And from the time that the continual [sacrifice] is taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand, two hundred, and ninety days.

١١ أَمَّا الْفَتْرَةُ مَا بَيْنَ إِزَالَةِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ وَإِقَامَةِ رِجْسِ الْمُخَرَّبِ، فَهِيَ أَلْفٌ وَمِئَتَانِ وَتِسْعُونَ يَوْماً.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days!

١٢ فَطُوبَى لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ إِلَى الأَلْفِ وَالثَّلاثِ مِئَةٍ وَالْخَمْسَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ يَوْماً.

13 But do thou go thy way until the end; and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

١٣ وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاذْهَبْ إِلَى آخِرَتِكَ فَتَسْتَرِيحَ، ثُمَّ تَقُومَ فِي نِهَايَةِ الأَيَّامِ لِتُثَابَ بِمَا قُسِمَ لَكَ».
