دانيال 12

١ 1 «وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ يَقُومُ الرَّئِيسُ الْعَظِيمُ الْمَلاكُ مِيخَائِيلُ حَارِسُ شَعْبِكَ، وَذَلِكَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ ضِيقٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَثِيلٌ مُنْذُ أَنْ وُجِدَتْ أُمَّةٌ حَتَّى ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ اسْمُهُ مُدَوَّناً فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ شَعْبِكَ يَنْجُو فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ.

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

٢ 2 وَيَسْتَيْقِظُ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ الْمَدْفُونِينَ فِي تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ، بَعْضُهُمْ لِيُثَابُوا بِالْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ وَبَعْضُهُمْ لِيُسَامُوا ذُلَّ الْعَارِ وَالازْدِرَاءِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.

٣ 3 وَيُضِيءُ الْحُكَمَاءُ (أَيْ شَعْبُ اللهِ) كَضِيَاءِ الْجَلَدِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ رَدُّوا كَثِيرِينَ إِلَى الْبِرِّ يَشِعُّونَ كَالْكَوَاكِبِ إِلَى مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

٤ 4 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا دَانِيَالُ فَاكْتُمِ الْكَلامَ، وَاخْتِمْ عَلَى الْكِتَابِ إِلَى مِيعَادِ النِّهَايَةِ. وَكَثِيرُونَ يَطُوفُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَتَزْدَادُ الْمَعْرِفَةُ».

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ أَنَا دَانِيَالَ فَإِذَا بِاثْنَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ وَقَفَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى ضَفَّةٍ مِنْ ضَفَّتَيِ النَّهْرِ،

Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

٦ 6 سَأَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا الرَّجُلَ اللّابِسَ الْكَتَّانِ الْوَاقِفَ عَلَى مِيَاهِ النَّهْرِ: «مَتَى يَنْقَضِي زَمَنُ هَذِهِ الأَحْدَاثِ الْعَجِيبَةِ؟».

And [one] said to the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, How long [shall it be to] the end of these wonders?

٧ 7 فَسَمِعْتُ الرَّجُلَ اللّابِسَ الْكَتَّانِ الْوَاقِفَ فَوْقَ مِيَاهِ النَّهْرِ يَقُولُ، بَعْدَ أَنْ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ نَحْوَ السَّمَاوَاتِ مُقْسِماً بِالْحَيِّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ: «تَنْقَضِي هَذِهِ الْعَجَائِبُ بَعْدَ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفٍ، حِينَ يَتِمُّ تَشْتِيتُ قُوَّةِ الشَّعْبِ الْمُقَدَّسِ».

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.

٨ 8 فَسَمِعْتُ مَا قَالَهُ وَلَكِنَّنِي لَمْ أَفْهَمْ، فَسَأَلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي مَا هِيَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ؟»

And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]?

٩ 9 فَأَجَابَ: «اذْهَبْ يَا دَانِيَالُ لأَنَّ الْكَلِمَاتِ مَكْتُومَةٌ وَمَخْتُومَةٌ إِلَى وَقْتِ النِّهَايَةِ.

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

١٠ 10 كَثِيرُونَ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ وَيَتَنَقَّوْنَ وَيُمَحَّصُونَ بِالتَّجَارِبِ، أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَيَرْتَكِبُونَ شَرّاً وَلا يَفْهَمُونَ. إِنَّمَا ذَوُو الْفِطْنَةِ يُدْرِكُونَ.

Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

١١ 11 أَمَّا الْفَتْرَةُ مَا بَيْنَ إِزَالَةِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ وَإِقَامَةِ رِجْسِ الْمُخَرَّبِ، فَهِيَ أَلْفٌ وَمِئَتَانِ وَتِسْعُونَ يَوْماً.

And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

١٢ 12 فَطُوبَى لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ إِلَى الأَلْفِ وَالثَّلاثِ مِئَةٍ وَالْخَمْسَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ يَوْماً.

Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

١٣ 13 وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاذْهَبْ إِلَى آخِرَتِكَ فَتَسْتَرِيحَ، ثُمَّ تَقُومَ فِي نِهَايَةِ الأَيَّامِ لِتُثَابَ بِمَا قُسِمَ لَكَ».

But go thou thy way till the end [be: ] for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
