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.
Til den Tid skal Mikal stå frem, den store fyrste, som værner dit Folks Sønner, og en Trængselstid kommer, som hidtil ikke har haft sin Mage, så længe der var Folkeslag til. Men på den Tid skal dit Folk frelses, alle, der er optegnet i Bogen.
2 Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.
Og mange af dem, der sover under Mulde, skal vågne, nogle til evigt Liv, andre til Skam, til evig Afsky.
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.
De forstandige skal stråle som Himmelhvælvingens Glans, og de, der førte de mange til Retfærdighed, skal lyse som Stjerner evigt og altid.
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.”
Men du, Daniel, sæt Lukke for Ordene og Segl for Bogen til Endens Tid! Mange skal granske i den, og Kundskaben skal blive stor."
5 Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.
Og jeg, Daniel, skuede, og se, der stod to andre hver på sin Side af Floden.
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?”
Og den ene spurgte Manden, som bar de linnede Klæder og svævede over Flodens Vande: "Hvor længe varer det, før disse sælsomme Ting er til Ende?"
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.”
Så hørte jeg Manden i de linnede Klæder, ham, som svævede over Flodens Vande, sværge ved ham, som lever evindelig, idet han løftede begge Hænder mod Himmelen: "Een Tid, to Tider og en halv Tid! Når hans Magt, som knuser det hellige Folk, er til Ende, skal alle disse Ting fuldbyrdes."
8 I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”
Og jeg hørte det, men fattede det ikke; så spurgte jeg: "Herre hvad er det sidste af disse Ting?"
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.
Og han svarede: "Gå bort, Daniel, thi for Ordene er der sat Lukke og Segl til Endens Tid.
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.
Mange skal sigtes, renses og lutres, men de gudløse handler gudløst, og ingen af de gudløse skal forstå, men det skal de forstandige.
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.
Fra den Tid det daglige Offer ophæves og Ødelæggelsens Vederstyggelighed rejses, skal der gå 1290 Dage.
12 Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Salig er den, der holder ud og oplever 1335 Dage.
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.”
Men gå du, Enden i Møde, læg dig til Hvile og stå op til din Lod, ved Dagenes Ende!
