< 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.
“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.
2 And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.
Ji mangʼeny mane osetho nochier ka moko kuomgi chier e ngima mochwere, to moko kuomgi nochier e wichkuot kod achaya mochwere.
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.
Joma riek norieny ka ler mar polo, kendo jogo mane opuonjo ji mangʼeny mondo otim gik makare norieny ka sulwe nyaka chiengʼ.
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.”
To in Daniel, um kitabuni kendo idine godok nyaka chop ndalo giko. To e ndalono ji mangʼeny nodhi koni gi koni ka gimanyo rieko.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.
Eka an Daniel nangʼicho, kendo e nyima kanyo ji mamoko ariyo nochungʼe, achiel e geng aora koni to machielo e geng aora komachielo.
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?”
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?”
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.”
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.”
8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
Ne awinjo gima owacho, to ne ok angʼeyo tiendgi. Omiyo napenjo niya, “Ruodha, giko mag gigi duto biro chalo nadi?”
9 “Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
Nodwoka niya, “Daniel, koro dhi adhiya, nikech wechegi odin kendo okan nyaka chop chiengʼ giko.
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.
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.
11 And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.
“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.
12 Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
Ogwedh ngʼat marito kendo machopo nyaka giko mar higni adek gi nus kata odiechienge alufu achiel mia adek gi piero adek gabich.
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.”
“To in Daniel, sik kuom Nyasaye nyaka ndalo giko. Bangʼe initho, to achien inichier miyud pokni chiengʼ giko piny.”
