< 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.
In tempore autem illo consurget Michaël princeps magnus, qui stat pro filiis populi tui: et veniet tempus quale non fuit ab eo ex quo gentes esse cœperunt usque ad tempus illud. Et in tempore illo salvabitur populus tuus, omnis qui inventus fuerit scriptus in libro.
2 And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.
Et multi de his qui dormiunt in terræ pulvere evigilabunt, alii in vitam æternam, et alii in opprobrium ut videant semper.
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.
Qui autem docti fuerint, fulgebunt quasi splendor firmamenti: et qui ad justitiam erudiunt multos, quasi stellæ in perpetuas æternitates.
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.”
Tu autem Daniel, claude sermones, et signa librum usque ad tempus statutum: plurimi pertransibunt, et multiplex erit scientia.
5 Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.
Et vidi ego Daniel, et ecce quasi duo alii stabant: unus hinc super ripam fluminis, et alius inde ex altera ripa fluminis.
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?”
Et dixi viro qui erat indutus lineis, qui stabat super aquas fluminis: Usquequo finis horum mirabilium?
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.”
Et audivi virum qui indutus erat lineis, qui stabat super aquas fluminis, cum elevasset dexteram et sinistram suam in cælum, et jurasset per viventem in æternum, quia in tempus, et tempora, et dimidium temporis. Et cum completa fuerit dispersio manus populi sancti, complebuntur universa hæc.
8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
Et ego audivi, et non intellexi. Et dixi: Domine mi, quid erit post hæc?
9 “Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
Et ait: Vade, Daniel, quia clausi sunt signatique sermones usque ad præfinitum tempus.
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.
Eligentur, et dealbabuntur, et quasi ignis probabuntur multi: et impie agent impii, neque intelligent omnes impii: porro docti intelligent.
11 And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.
Et a tempore cum ablatum fuerit juge sacrificium, et posita fuerit abominatio in desolationem, dies mille ducenti nonaginta.
12 Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
Beatus qui exspectat, et pervenit usque ad dies mille trecentos triginta quinque.
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.”
Tu autem vade ad præfinitum: et requiesces, et stabis in sorte tua in finem dierum.
