Књига пророка Данила 12
1 А у то ће се време подигнути Михаило, велики кнез, који брани твој народ; и биће жалосно време, каквог није било откако је народа до тада; и у то ће се време избавити твој народ, сваки који се нађе записан у књизи.
[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 И много оних који спавају у праху земаљском пробудиће се, једни на живот вечни, а други на срамоту и прекор вечни.
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 И разумни ће се сјати као светлост небеска, и који многе приведоше к правди, као звезде вазда и довека.
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 А ти Данило затвори ове речи и запечати ову књигу до последњег времена; многи ће претраживати, и знање ће се умножити.
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 Тада погледах ја, Данило, и гле, стајаху друга двојица, један с ове стране на брегу реке, а други с оне стране на брегу реке.
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 И један рече човеку обученом у платно, који стајаше над водом у реци: Кад ће бити крај тим чудесима?
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 И чух човека обученог у платно, који стајаше над водом у реци, и подиже десницу своју и левицу своју к небу, и закле се Оним који живи увек да ће се све ово испунити по времену, по временима и по по времена, и кад се сврши расап силе светог народа.
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 И ја чух али не разумех; и рекох: Господару мој, какав ће бити крај томе?
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 А Он рече: Иди Данило, јер су затворене и запечаћене ове речи до последњег времена.
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 Многи ће се очистити, убелити и окушати; а безбожници ће радити безбожно, нити ће који безбожник разумети, али ће разумни разумети.
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 А од времена кад се укине жртва ваздашња и постави гнусоба пустошна, биће хиљаду и двеста и деведесет дана.
[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 Благо ономе који претрпи и дочека хиљаду и три стотине и тридесет и пет дана.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 А ти иди ка свом крају; и почиваћеш и остаћеш на делу свом до свршетка својих дана.
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].”
