Danieli 12
1 Katika kipindi hicho, Mikaeli, jemedari mkuu ambaye huwalinda watu wako, atainuka. Kutakuwa na wakati wa mateso ambao haujawahi kutokea tangu mwanzo wa taifa lolote mpaka kipindi hicho. Katika muda huo watu wako wataokolewa, yeyote ambaye jina lake litapatikana katika kitabu.
And at that time Michael the great prince shall stand up, that stands over the children of your people: and there shall be a time of tribulation, such tribulation as has not been from the time that there was a nation on the earth until that time: at that time your people shall be delivered, [even] every one that is written in the book.
2 Na wengi wa wale waliolala katika mavumbi ya dunia watainuka. baadhi kwa uzima wa milele na baadhi kwa ajili ya fedheha na matwezo ya milele.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting shame.
3 Wale wenye hekima watang'ara kama mng'ao wa anga la juu, na wale wenye kuwaelekeza wengine katika haki, watakuwa kama nyota milele na milele.
And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and [some] of the many righteous as the stars for ever and ever.
4 Lakini wewe, Danieli, yafunge maneno haya; kihifadhi kitabu kikiwa kimetiwa chapa mpaka nyakati za mwisho. Watu wengi watakimbia huku na kule, na maarifa yataongezeka.
And you, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book to the time of the end; until many are taught, and knowledge is increased.
5 Kisha mimi, Danieli, nilitazama, na kulikuwa na malaika wengine wawili wamesimama. Mmoja alisimama katika upande huu wa ukingo wa mto, na mwingine alisimama katika ukingo wa upande mwingine wa mto.
And I Daniel saw, and, behold, two others stood, on one side of the bank of the river, and the other on the other side of the bank of the river.
6 Mmoja wao alimwambia mtu aliyevaa nguo za kitani, yeye aliyekuwa juu ya mkondo wa mto, “Je itachukua muda gani mpaka mwisho wa matukio haya ya kushangaza?”
And [one] said to the man clothed in linen, who was over the water of the river, When [will be] the end of the wonders which you has mentioned?
7 Nilimsikia mtu yule aliyevaa nguo za kitani, aliyekuwa juu katika mkondo wa mto, aliinua mkono wake wa kuume na mkono wake wa kushoto kuelekea mbinguni na kuapa kwa yeye aishiye milele kwamba itakuwa kwa wakati, nyakati, na nusu wakati. Na wakati nguvu za watu watakatifu zitakapokuwa zimeshaharibiwa, mambo haya yote yatakuwa yamemalizika.
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was over the water of the river, and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and sware by him that lives for ever, that [it should be] for a time of times and half a time: when the dispersion is ended they shall know all these things.
8 Nilisikia, lakini sikufahamu. Basi nikamwuliza, “Bwana wangu, mambo haya yote yatakuwa na matokeo gani?”
And I heard, but I understood not: and I said, O Lord, what [will be] the end of these things?
9 Alisema, “Nenda zako Danieli, kwa kuwa maneno yamefungwa na kutiwa chapa mpaka wakati wa mwisho.
And he said, Go, Daniel: for the words are closed and sealed up to the time of the end.
10 Watu wengi watakuwa wametakaswa, wameoshwa, na kusafishwa, lakini waovu wataenenda katika uovu.
Many must be tested, and thoroughly whitened, and tried with fire, and sanctified; but the transgressors shall transgress: and none of the transgressors shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 Katika muda ule ambapo sadaka ya kawaida ya kuteketezwa itakapokuwa imeondolewa na chukizo la uharibifu liliosababisha ukiwa limesimamishwa, kutakuwa na siku zipatazo 1, 290.
And from the time of the removal of the perpetual sacrifice, when the abomination of desolation shall be set up, [there shall be] a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.
12 Ana heri mtu yule anayengojea mpaka mwisho wa siku 1, 335.
Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand and three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 Unapaswa uondoke uende njia yako hata mwisho, na kisha utapumzika. Utainuka katika sehemu uliyopewa, mwishoni mwa siku.”
But go you, and rest; for [there are] yet days and seasons to the fulfilment of the end; and you shall stand in your lot at the end of the days.
