< Daniel 12 >

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who 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.
“Panguva iyoyo Mikaeri, muchinda mukuru anodzivirira vanhu vako, achasimuka. Pachava nenguva yenhamo isina kumbovapo kubva pakuvamba kwendudzi kusvikira zvino. Asi panguva iyoyo vanhu vako, ani naani ane zita rakanyorwa mubhuku, acharwirwa.
2 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.
Vazhinji vanovata muguruva renyika vachamuka: vamwe kuupenyu husingaperi, vamwe kukunyadziswa nokuzvidzwa kusingaperi.
3 And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Avo vakachenjera vachapenya sokupenya kwokudenga, uye vanodzorera vazhinji kukururama, vachapenya senyeredzi nokusingaperi-peri.
4 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.
Asi iwe, Dhanieri, vhara uye uname mashoko orugwaro kusvikira pamazuva okupedzisira. Vazhinji vachaenda kwose kwose kuti vawedzere zivo.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side.
Ipapo ini, Dhanieri, ndakatarisa uye hapo pamberi pangu pakanga pamire vamwe vaviri, mumwe kumhenderekedzo.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
Mumwe wavo akati kumurume akanga akapfeka nguo yakaisvonaka, akanga ari pamusoro pemvura zhinji yorwizi, “Kusvikira riniko zvinhu zvinoshamisa izvi zvisati zvazadziswa?”
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above 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 a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Murume akanga akapfeka nguo yakaisvonaka, akanga ari pamusoro pemvura zhinji yorwizi, akasimudza ruoko rwake rworudyi noruoko rwake rworuboshwe kudenga, ndikamunzwa achipika naiye anorarama nokusingaperi, achiti, “Zvichava kwechinguva nedzimwe nguva nehafu yenguva. Kana simba ravanhu vatsvene rikange raputsanywa, zvinhu zvose izvi zvichapedziswa.”
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?
Ndakanzwa, asi handina kunzwisisa. Saka ndakabvunza ndikati, “Ishe wangu, zvinhu zvose izvi zvichaguma seiko?”
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.
Akapindura akati, “Chienda hako, Dhanieri, nokuti mashoko aya akavharwa nokunamwa kusvikira panguva yokupedzisira.
10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.
Vazhinji vachacheneswa, vasina gwapa, uye vachanatswa, asi vakaipa vacharamba vakaipa. Hakuna achanzwisisa.
11 And from the time that the continual [burnt-offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
“Kubva panguva ichadziviswa chibayiro chamazuva ose nokumiswa kwechinhu chinonyangadza chinouyisa kuparadzwa, pachava namazuva chiuru chine zana namakumi mapfumbamwe.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Akaropafadzwa uyo achamirira nokusvika kumagumo amazuva chiuru china mazana matatu namakumi matatu namashanu.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be; for thou shalt rest, and shalt stand in thy lot, at the end of the days.
“Asi kana uriwe, enda hako kusvikira kumagumo. Uchazorora, uye ipapo pamagumo amazuva, iwe uchasimuka kuti ugamuchire mugove wenhaka yako.”
