< Daniel 12 >

1 And at that time Michael will take up his place, the great angel, who is the supporter of the children of your people: and there will be a time of trouble, such as there never was from the time there was a nation even till that same time: and at that time your people will be kept safe, everyone who is recorded in the book.
«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.١
2 And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.
وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ فِي تُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَسْتَيْقِظُونَ، هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْعَارِ لِلِٱزْدِرَاءِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ.٢
3 And those who are wise will be shining like the light of the outstretched sky; and those by whom numbers have been turned to righteousness will be like the stars for ever and ever.
وَٱلْفَاهِمُونَ يَضِيئُونَ كَضِيَاءِ ٱلْجَلَدِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ رَدُّوا كَثِيرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْبِرِّ كَٱلْكَوَاكِبِ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلدُّهُورِ.٣
4 But as for you, O Daniel, let the words be kept secret and the book rolled up and kept shut till the time of the end: numbers will be going out of the way and troubles will be increased.
«أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا دَانِيآلُ فَأَخْفِ ٱلْكَلَامَ وَٱخْتِمِ ٱلسِّفْرَ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. كَثِيرُونَ يَتَصَفَّحُونَهُ وَٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ تَزْدَادُ».٤
5 Then I, Daniel, looking, saw two others, one at the edge of the river on this side and one at the edge of the river on that side.
فَنَظَرْتُ أَنَا دَانِيآلَ وَإِذَا بِٱثْنَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ قَدْ وَقَفَا وَاحِدٌ مِنْ هُنَا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَآخَرُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ.٥
6 And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was over the waters of the river, How long will it be to the end of these wonders?
وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱللَّابِسِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ فَوْقِ مِيَاهِ ٱلنَّهْرِ: «إِلَى مَتَى ٱنْتِهَاءُ ٱلْعَجَائِبِ؟»٦
7 Then in my hearing the man clothed in linen, who was over the river, lifting up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, took an oath by him who is living for ever that it would be a time, times, and a half; and when the power of the crusher of the holy people comes to an end, all these things will be ended.
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».٧
8 And the words came to my ears, but the sense of them was not clear to me: then I said, O my lord, what is the sense of these things?
وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ وَمَا فَهِمْتُ. فَقُلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، مَا هِيَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ؟»٨
9 And he said, Go on your way, Daniel: for the words are secret and shut up till the time of the end;
فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبْ يَا دَانِيآلُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ مَخْفِيَّةٌ وَمَخْتُومَةٌ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ.٩
10 Till a number are tested and make themselves clean; and the evil-doers will do evil; for not one of the evil-doers will have knowledge; but all will be made clear to those who are wise.
كَثِيرُونَ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ وَيُبَيَّضُونَ وَيُمَحَّصُونَ، أَمَّا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فَيَفْعَلُونَ شَرًّا. وَلَا يَفْهَمُ أَحَدُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، لَكِنِ ٱلْفَاهِمُونَ يَفْهَمُونَ.١٠
11 And from the time when the regular burned offering is taken away, and an unclean thing causing fear is put up, there will be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days.
وَمِنْ وَقْتِ إِزَالَةِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَإِقَامَةِ رِجْسِ ٱلْمُخَرَّبِ أَلْفٌ وَمِئَتَانِ وَتِسْعُونَ يَوْمًا.١١
12 A blessing will be on the man who goes on waiting, and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days.
طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَيَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلْأَلْفِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِ مِئَةٍ وَٱلْخَمْسَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا.١٢
13 But you, go on your way and take your rest: for you will be in your place at the end of the days.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ فتَسْتَرِيحَ، وتَقُومَ لِقُرعَتِكَ فِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ».١٣
