Daniel 12
1 Et dans ce temps-là Michel, le grand prince, qui tient le parti des fils de ton peuple, se lèvera, et il y aura un temps d'angoisse, tel qu'il n'y en a pas eu depuis l'existence d'un peuple jusqu'à cette époque-là; mais dans le même temps ton peuple sera délivré, tous ceux qui sont inscrits dans le livre [de la vie].
[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.
2 Et plusieurs de ceux qui dorment dans la poussière de la terre, se réveilleront, les uns pour une vie éternelle, et les autres pour l'opprobre et une ignominie éternelle.
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)
3 Mais les intelligents brilleront de l'éclat du firmament, et ceux qui auront conduit à la justice cette multitude, [brilleront] comme les étoiles éternellement, à jamais.
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].
4 Mais toi, Daniel, serre les paroles et scelle le livre jusqu'à l'époque de la fin. Plusieurs le parcourront, et la connaissance augmentera.
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].”
5 Et moi Daniel, je regardai, et voici, deux autres personnages étaient là, l'un en deçà de la rive du fleuve, et l'autre au delà de la rive du fleuve.
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.
6 Et l'un dit à l'homme vêtu de lin qui se tenait en dessus des ondes du fleuve: A quand la fin de ces faits singuliers?
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?”
7 Et j'entendis l'homme vêtu de lin qui se tenait en dessus des ondes du fleuve, et levant la main droite et la main gauche vers le ciel, il fit ce serment par Celui dont la vie est éternelle: Encore un temps, [deux] temps et demi, et lorsque la dispersion d'une partie du peuple saint sera consommée, tout cela s'accomplira.
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.”
8 Et j'entendais, mais je ne comprenais pas, et je dis: Mon Seigneur, quelle issue auront ces choses?
I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
9 Et il me dit: Va, Daniel; car les paroles resteront serrées et scellées jusqu'à l'époque de la fin.
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.
10 Plusieurs seront triés, blanchis et épurés, et les impies pratiqueront l'impiété, et aucun des impies n'y prendra garde, mais les intelligents y prendront garde.
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].
11 Cependant, depuis le temps de l'abolition du sacrifice perpétuel et du placement de l'abomination du dévastateur, il y a mille deux cent quatre-vingt-dix jours.
[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.
12 Heureux celui qui attend, et atteint mille trois cent trente-cinq jours!
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 Mais toi, marche vers la fin, et tu te reposeras, et tu seras debout pour ton lot à la fin des jours.
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].”
