Daniel 12
1 [The angel also said to me, ] “After those things happen, the great angel Michael, who protects the [Israeli] people, will appear. Then there will be a time when there will be great troubles/suffering. The troubles will be greater than any troubles/suffering since the nations began. At that time, all of your people whose names have been written in the book [containing the names of those who have eternal life] will be saved.
U ono će vrijeme ustati Mihael, veliki knez koji štiti sinove tvog naroda. Bit će to vrijeme tjeskobe kakve ne bijaše otkako je ljudi pa do toga vremena. U ono vrijeme tvoj će se narod spasiti - svi koji se nađu zapisani u Knjizi.
2 Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
Tada će se probuditi mnogi koji snivaju u prahu zemljinu; jedni za vječni život, drugi za sramotu, za vječnu gadost.
3 Those who were wise will shine as brightly as the sky [is bright when the sun is shining]. And those who have shown to others the way to live righteously will shine forever, like the stars [SIM].
Umnici će blistati kao sjajni nebeski svod, i koji su mnoge učili pravednosti, kao zvijezde navijeke, u svu vječnost.
4 But as for you, Daniel, close up the scroll [on which you are writing], and seal it [in order that no one can open it] until the end [of the world] is near. [Before that happens, ] many people will travel rapidly here and there, learning more and more [about many things].”
A ti, Daniele, drži u tajnosti ove riječi i zapečati ovu knjigu do vremena svršetka! Mnogi će tumarati, i bezakonja će rasti.”
5 When [that angel finished speaking], I, Daniel, looked up, and suddenly I saw two other [angels]. One was standing on the side of the river [where I was], and one was standing on the other side.
Ja, Daniel, pogledah, kad eno: druga dvojica stajahu jedan s jedne, drugi s druge strane rijeke.
6 One of them [called to] the other one, who was wearing linen/white clothes, who was now standing further up (OR, above) the river, “How long will it be until these amazing/frightening events end?”
Jedan upita čovjeka odjevena u lanene haljine koji stajaše iznad voda rijeke: “Kada će doći kraj tim čudesima?”
7 The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority [MTY] of God, who lives forever, “It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who (persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for) them.”
Začuh čovjeka odjevena u lanene haljine, koji stajaše iznad voda rijeke; on podiže k nebu desnicu i ljevicu, kunući se Vječno živim. “Nakon jednog vremena, dva vremena i pola vremena - kada dođe kraj rasulu snage svetoga naroda - sve će se to svršiti.”
8 I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
Ja slušah, ali ne razumjeh, pa upitah: “Gospodaru, kako će to svršiti?”
9 He replied, “Daniel, you must leave now. [I cannot answer your question] because what it means must (be kept secret/not be revealed) [DOU] until the time when everything ends.
On reče: “Idi, Daniele, ove su riječi tajne i zapečaćene do vremena svršetka.
10 Many people will thoroughly purify their inner beings [DOU]. But wicked people will not understand these things. They will continue to be wicked. Only those who are wise will understand [these things].
Mnogi će se očistiti, ubijeliti i prokušati; a bezbožnici će i dalje biti bezbožni; bezbožnici se neće urazumjeti, a umnici će razumjeti.
11 [But I can tell you that before everything ends, ] there will be 1,290 days, from the time that people are prevented from offering sacrifices each day, that is, from the time that the abominable/disgusting thing is put in the temple.
Od časa kad bude dokinuta svagdašnja žrtva i postavljena grozota pustoši: tisuću dvjesta i devedeset dana.
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
Blago onomu koji dočeka i dosegne tisuću trista trideset i pet dana!
13 So [now I say] to you, continue to faithfully [trust God] until [your life on earth] ends. You will die [EUP], but when everything ends, you will receive your reward [from God].”
A ti idi i otpočini; ustat ćeš da primiš svoju baštinu na kraju dana.”
