Daniel 12

1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.

١ «وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ يَقُومُ مِيخَائِيلُ ٱلرَّئِيسُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْقَائِمُ لِبَنِي شَعْبِكَ، وَيَكُونُ زَمَانُ ضِيقٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُنْذُ كَانَتْ أُمَّةٌ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ يُنَجَّى شَعْبُكَ، كُلُّ مَنْ يُوجَدُ مَكْتُوبًا فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ.

2 And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.

٢ وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ فِي تُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَسْتَيْقِظُونَ، هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْعَارِ لِلِٱزْدِرَاءِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ.

3 Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

٣ وَٱلْفَاهِمُونَ يَضِيئُونَ كَضِيَاءِ ٱلْجَلَدِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ رَدُّوا كَثِيرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْبِرِّ كَٱلْكَوَاكِبِ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلدُّهُورِ.

4 But you, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro, and knowledge will increase.”

٤ «أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا دَانِيآلُ فَأَخْفِ ٱلْكَلَامَ وَٱخْتِمِ ٱلسِّفْرَ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. كَثِيرُونَ يَتَصَفَّحُونَهُ وَٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ تَزْدَادُ».

5 Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.

٥ فَنَظَرْتُ أَنَا دَانِيآلَ وَإِذَا بِٱثْنَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ قَدْ وَقَفَا وَاحِدٌ مِنْ هُنَا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَآخَرُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ.

6 One of them said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long until the fulfillment of these wonders?”

٦ وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱللَّابِسِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ فَوْقِ مِيَاهِ ٱلنَّهْرِ: «إِلَى مَتَى ٱنْتِهَاءُ ٱلْعَجَائِبِ؟»

7 And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.”

٧ فَسَمِعْتُ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ فَوْقِ مِيَاهِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، إِذْ رَفَعَ يُمْنَاهُ وَيُسْرَاهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحَلَفَ بِٱلْحَيِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ: «إِنَّهُ إِلَى زَمَانٍ وَزَمَانَيْنِ وَنِصْفٍ. فَإِذَا تَمَّ تَفْرِيقُ أَيْدِي ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ تَتِمُّ كُلُّ هَذِهِ».

8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”

٨ وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ وَمَا فَهِمْتُ. فَقُلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، مَا هِيَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ؟»

9 “Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

٩ فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبْ يَا دَانِيآلُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ مَخْفِيَّةٌ وَمَخْتُومَةٌ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ.

10 Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.

١٠ كَثِيرُونَ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ وَيُبَيَّضُونَ وَيُمَحَّصُونَ، أَمَّا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فَيَفْعَلُونَ شَرًّا. وَلَا يَفْهَمُ أَحَدُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، لَكِنِ ٱلْفَاهِمُونَ يَفْهَمُونَ.

11 And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.

١١ وَمِنْ وَقْتِ إِزَالَةِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَإِقَامَةِ رِجْسِ ٱلْمُخَرَّبِ أَلْفٌ وَمِئَتَانِ وَتِسْعُونَ يَوْمًا.

12 Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.

١٢ طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَيَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلْأَلْفِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِ مِئَةٍ وَٱلْخَمْسَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا.

13 But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

١٣ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ فتَسْتَرِيحَ، وتَقُومَ لِقُرعَتِكَ فِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ».
