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.

And at that time shall Michael stand vp, ye great prince, which standeth for ye children of thy people, and there shall be a time of trouble, such as neuer was since there began to be a nation vnto that same time: and at that time thy people shall be deliuered, euery one that shall be foud written in ye boke.

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

And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to euerlasting life, and some to shame and perpetuall contempt.

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.

And they that be wise, shall shine, as ye brightnes of the firmament: and they that turne many to righteousnes, shall shine as the starres, for euer and euer.

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.”

But thou, O Daniel, shut vp the words, and seale the boke til the end of the time: many shall run to and from, and knowledge shall be increased.

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

Then I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, ye one on this side of ye brinke of ye riuer, and the other on that side of ye brinke of the riuer.

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?”

And one saide vnto the man clothed in linen, which was vpon ye waters of the riuer, When shalbe the ende of these wonders?

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.”

And I heard ye man clothed in line which was vpon the waters of the riuer, when he helde vp his right hand, and his left hand vnto heauen, and sware by him that liueth for euer, that it shall tarie for a time, two times and an halfe: and when he shall haue accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

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

The I heard it, but I vnderstood it not: the said I, O my Lord, what shalbe ye end of these things?

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

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for ye words are closed vp, and sealed, till the ende of the time.

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.

Many shalbe purified, made white, and tried: but the wicked shall doe wickedly, and none of the wicked shall haue vnderstanding: but the wise shall vnderstand.

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

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shalbe take away and the abominable desolatio set vp, there shalbe a thousand, two hundreth and ninetie daies.

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

Blessed is he that waiteth and commeth to the thousand, three hundreth and fiue and thirtie daies.

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.”

But go thou thy way til the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand vp in thy lot, at the end of ye daies.
