< 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.
«و در آن زمان میکائیل، امیر عظیمی که برای پسران قوم تو ایستاده است خواهد برخاست و چنان زمان تنگی خواهد شدکه از حینی که امتی به وجود آمده است تا امروزنبوده و در آنزمان هر یک از قوم تو که در دفترمکتوب یافت شود رستگار خواهد شد.۱
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)
وبسیاری از آنانی که در خاک زمین خوابیده اندبیدار خواهند شد، اما اینان به جهت حیات جاودانی و آنان به جهت خجالت و حقارت جاودانی.۲
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].
و حکیمان مثل روشنایی افلاک خواهند درخشید و آنانی که بسیاری را به راه عدالت رهبری می‌نمایند مانند ستارگان خواهندبود تا ابدالاباد.۳
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].”
اما تو‌ای دانیال کلام را مخفی دار و کتاب را تا زمان آخر مهر کن. بسیاری بسرعت تردد خواهند نمود و علم افزوده خواهدگردید.»۴
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.
پس من دانیال نظر کردم و اینک دو نفر دیگریکی به اینطرف و دیگری به آنطرف نهر ایستاده بودند.۵
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?”
و یکی از ایشان به آن مرد ملبس به کتان که بالای آبهای نهر ایستاده بود گفت: «انتهای این عجایب تا بکی خواهد بود؟»۶
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.”
و آن مرد ملبس به کتان را که بالای آبهای نهر ایستاده بود شنیدم که دست راست و دست چپ خود را بسوی آسمان برافراشته، به حی ابدی قسم خورد که برای زمانی و دو زمان و نصف زمان خواهد بود و چون پراکندگی قوت قوم مقدس به انجام رسد، آنگاه همه این امور به اتمام خواهد رسید.۷
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?”
و من شنیدم اما درک نکردم پس گفتم: «ای آقایم آخر این امور چه خواهد بود؟»۸
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.
او جواب داد که «ای دانیال برو زیرا این کلام تا زمان آخرمخفی و مختوم شده است.۹
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].
بسیاری طاهر وسفید و مصفی خواهند گردید و شریران شرارت خواهند ورزید و هیچ کدام از شریران نخواهندفهمید لیکن حکیمان خواهند فهمید.۱۰
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.
و ازهنگام موقوف شدن قربانی دایمی و نصب نمودن رجاست ویرانی، هزار و دویست و نود روزخواهد بود.۱۱
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
خوشابه‌حال آنکه انتظار کشد و به هزار و سیصد و سی و پنج روز برسد.۱۲
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].”
اما تو تابه آخرت برو زیرا که مستریح خواهی شد و درآخر این ایام در نصیب خود قایم خواهی بود.»۱۳
