Daniel 12
1 “E kindeno Mikael, malaika maduongʼ marito jou, biro thinyore. Kindeno nobed kinde mag chandruok malich mapok one nyaka ne ogendini chak bet e piny. Ka kindeno ochopo to nores jou ma nying-gi oyud kondiki e kitap Nyasaye.
[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 Ji mangʼeny mane osetho nochier ka moko kuomgi chier e ngima mochwere, to moko kuomgi nochier e wichkuot kod achaya mochwere.
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 Joma riek norieny ka ler mar polo, kendo jogo mane opuonjo ji mangʼeny mondo otim gik makare norieny ka sulwe nyaka chiengʼ.
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 To in Daniel, um kitabuni kendo idine godok nyaka chop ndalo giko. To e ndalono ji mangʼeny nodhi koni gi koni ka gimanyo rieko.”
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 Eka an Daniel nangʼicho, kendo e nyima kanyo ji mamoko ariyo nochungʼe, achiel e geng aora koni to machielo e geng aora komachielo.
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 Achiel kuom ji ariyo-ka nopenjo ngʼat mane orwako law mayom mane oyudo ochungʼ ewi pi ei aora niya, “Gik malichgi biro kawo kinde marom nadi mondo gitimre?”
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 Ngʼat morwakore gi law mayom mane ni e chuny pi aorano, notingʼo lwete korachwich kod lwete koracham malo kochomo polo, kendo ne awinje kokwongʼore gi Nying Jal Mangima Manyaka Chiengʼ; kowacho niya, “Odongʼ kinde maromo higni adek gi nus kendo ka sand misandogo jo-Nyasaye oserumo to noyud ka gigi duto osetimore.”
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 Ne awinjo gima owacho, to ne ok angʼeyo tiendgi. Omiyo napenjo niya, “Ruodha, giko mag gigi duto biro chalo nadi?”
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 Nodwoka niya, “Daniel, koro dhi adhiya, nikech wechegi odin kendo okan nyaka chop chiengʼ giko.
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 Ji mangʼeny ibiro pwodhi mi gidok maler kendo maonge songa, to joma richo nomed bedo maricho. Joma richo ok nowinj tiend wechegi kata achiel, to jomariek to nowinj tiendgi.
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 “Chakre chiengʼ ma misengini mitimo pile nokethie, nyaka chop chiengʼ ma gima kwero makelo kethruok nochungie, nokaw higni adek gi nus kata odiechienge alufu achiel mia ariyo gi piero ochiko.
[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 Ogwedh ngʼat marito kendo machopo nyaka giko mar higni adek gi nus kata odiechienge alufu achiel mia adek gi piero adek gabich.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 “To in Daniel, sik kuom Nyasaye nyaka ndalo giko. Bangʼe initho, to achien inichier miyud pokni chiengʼ giko piny.”
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].”
