Daniel 12
1 Til den Tid skal Mikael staa frem, den store Fyrste, som værner dit Folks Sønner, og en Trængselstid kommer, som hidtil ikke har haft sin Mage, saa længe der var Folkeslag til. Men paa den Tid skal dit Folk frelses, alle, der er optegnet i Bogen.
And at that time Michael the great prince shall stand up, that stands over the children of thy 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 thy people shall be delivered, [even] every one that is written in the book.
2 Og mange af dem, der sover under Mulde, skal vaagne, nogle til evigt Liv, andre til Skam, til evig Afsky.
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 De forstandige skal straale som Himmelhvælvingens Glans, og de, der førte de mange til Retfærdighed, skal lyse som Stjerner evigt og altid.
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 Men du, Daniel, sæt Lukke for Ordene og Segl for Bogen til Endens Tid! Mange skal granske i den, og Kundskaben skal blive stor.«
And thou, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book to the time of the end; until many are taught, and knowledge is increased.
5 Og jeg, Daniel, skuede, og se, der stod to andre hver paa sin Side af Floden.
And I Daniel saw, and, behold, two others stood, one on one side of the bank of the river, and the other on the other side of the bank of the river.
6 Og den ene spurgte Manden, som bar de linnede Klæder og svævede over Flodens Vande: »Hvor længe varer det, før disse sælsomme Ting er til Ende?«
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 thou hast mentioned?
7 Saa hørte jeg Manden i de linnede Klæder, ham, som svævede over Flodens Vande, sværge ved ham, som lever evindelig, idet han løftede begge Hænder mod Himmelen: »Een Tid, to Tider og en halv Tid! Naar hans Magt, som knuser det hellige Folk, er til Ende, skal alle disse Ting fuldbyrdes.«
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 Og jeg hørte det, men fattede det ikke; saa spurgte jeg: »Herre, hvad er det sidste af disse Ting?«
And I heard, but I understood not: and I said, O Lord, what [will be] the end of these things?
9 Og han svarede: »Gaa bort, Daniel, thi for Ordene er der sat Lukke og Segl til Endens Tid.
And he said, Go, Daniel: for the words are closed and sealed up to the time of the end.
10 Mange skal sigtes, renses og lutres, men de gudløse handler gudløst, og ingen af de gudløse skal forstaa, men det skal de forstandige.
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 Fra den Tid det daglige Offer ophæves og Ødelæggelsens Vederstyggelighed rejses, skal der gaa 1290 Dage.
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 two hundred and ninety days.
12 Salig er den, der holder ud og oplever 1335 Dage.
Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 Men gaa du Enden i Møde, læg dig til Hvile og staa op til din Lod ved Dagenes Ende!«
But go thou, and rest; for [there are] yet days and seasons to the fulfilment of the end; and thou shalt stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
