Daniel 12
1 At that time Michael the great prince, the protector of your people, will stand up and there will be a time of trouble like never before, since nations first existed. But at that time your people will be saved, all whose names are written in the book.
“Pa nthawi imeneyo Mikayeli, mngelo wamkulu amene amateteza anthu a mtundu wako, adzabwera. Imeneyi idzakhala nthawi ya mavuto aakulu omwe sanaonekepo kuyambira pachiyambi cha mitundu ya anthu mpaka nthawi ikudzayo. Komatu pa nthawiyi anthu a mtundu wako, aliyense amene dzina lake lidzapezeke lolembedwa mʼbuku adzapulumutsidwa.
2 Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.
Ambiri mwa amene akugona mʼnthaka adzadzuka: ena adzapita ku moyo wosatha, ena ku malo amanyazi ndi chilango chosatha.
3 Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky; those who have shown many the right way to live will shine as bright as the stars forever and ever.
Amene ali anzeru mʼnjira ya chilungamo adzawala ngati kuwala kwa mlengalenga, ndipo amene alondolera ambiri ku njira yolungama, adzawala ngati nyenyezi ku nthawi zosatha.
4 But as for you, Daniel, keep this message secret, and seal the book closed until the time of the end. Many will search this way and that way, and knowledge will grow greater and greater.”
Koma iweyo, Danieli, sungitsa mawuwa, umate bukuli kufikira nthawi ya chimaliziro. Anthu ambiri adzapita uku ndi uko ndipo nzeru zidzanka zikukulirakulira.”
5 Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.
Kenaka ine Danieli poyangʼana ndinaona anthu ena awiri atayima, wina tsidya lino la mtsinje, wina tsidya linalo.
6 One of then asked the man dressed in linen who was above the river's waters, “How long before these outrageous things come to an end?”
Mmodzi mwa awiriwo anafunsa munthu wovala chovala chosalala amene anali mʼmbali mwa madzi a mu mtsinje uja kuti, “Kodi padzapita nthawi yayitali bwanji kuti zodabwitsazi zidzakwaniritsidwe?”
7 The man dressed in linen, who was above the river's waters, lifted both hands to heaven made a solemn promise by the One who lives eternally. I heard him say, “It will last for a time, times, and half a time. When the scattering of the power of the holy people has come to an end, then all these things will also come to an end.”
Munthu wovala chovala chosalala, amene anali mʼmbali mwa madzi a mu mtsinje uja, anakweza dzanja lake lamanja ndi lamanzere kumwamba, ndipo ndinamumva akulumbira mʼdzina la Wamoyo ku nthawi zonse uja kuti, “Zidzachitika patapita zaka zitatu ndi theka. Zinthu zonsezi zidzachitika akadzatha masautso amene agwera anthu olungama.”
8 I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”
Ndinamva, koma sindinamvetsetse. Choncho ndinafunsa kuti, “Mbuye wanga, nanga matsiriziro a zonsezi adzakhala chiyani?”
9 “Daniel, you can go on your way now,” he replied, “for this message is secret and kept sealed until the time of the end.
Ndipo anandiyankha kuti, “Pita iwe Danieli, pakuti mawuwa ndi osungidwa ndi omatidwa kufikira nthawi ya chimaliziro.
10 Many will be purified and cleansed and refined, but the wicked will go on being wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.
Anthu ambiri adzayeretsedwa nakhala olungama wopanda chodetsa, koma oyipa adzakhala chiyipire. Palibe mmodzi wa anthu oyipa amene adzamvetsetsa koma okhawo amene ali anzeru adzamvetsetsa.
11 From the time the continual ministry is stopped in order to set up the idolatry that causes devastation will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
“Kuyambira pamene nsembe ya tsiku ndi tsiku idzathetsedwa ndi kukhazikitsa kwa chonyansa chobweretsa chisokonezo chija, padzapita masiku 1,290.
12 Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Wodala munthu amene adikirabe nadzafika pa mapeto a masiku 1,335.
13 But as for you, go your way until your life ends, and then rest. You will rise to receive your reward at the end of time.”
“Koma iweyo Danieli, pitiriza ndipo ulimbikire mpaka matsiriziro. Kenaka udzamwalira. Koma mʼmasiku otsiriza udzauka kuti ulandire gawo lako.”
