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.
But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found 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 those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always.
3 De forstandige skal straale som Himmelhvælvingens Glans, og de, der førte de mange til Retfærdighed, skal lyse som Stjerner evigt og altid.
But they that are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity.
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.«
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be manifold.
5 Og jeg, Daniel, skuede, og se, der stod to andre hver paa sin Side af Floden.
And I Daniel looked, and behold as it were two others stood: one on this side upon the bank of the river, and another on that side, on the other 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 I said to the man that was clothed In linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
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 that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn, by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.
8 Og jeg hørte det, men fattede det ikke; saa spurgte jeg: »Herre, hvad er det sidste af disse Ting?«
And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall be after 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, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time.
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 shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand.
11 Fra den Tid det daglige Offer ophæves og Ødelæggelsens Vederstyggelighed rejses, skal der gaa 1290 Dage.
And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days,
12 Salig er den, der holder ud og oplever 1335 Dage.
Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh unto a thousand three hundred 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 thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days.
