< 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.
“E kindeno Mikael, malaika maduongʼ marito jou, biro thinyore. Kindeno nobed kinde mag chandruok malich mapok one nyaka ne ogendini chak bet e piny. Ka kindeno ochopo to nores jou ma nying-gi oyud kondiki e kitap Nyasaye.
2 Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.
Ji mangʼeny mane osetho nochier ka moko kuomgi chier e ngima mochwere, to moko kuomgi nochier e wichkuot kod achaya mochwere.
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.
Joma riek norieny ka ler mar polo, kendo jogo mane opuonjo ji mangʼeny mondo otim gik makare norieny ka sulwe nyaka chiengʼ.
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.”
To in Daniel, um kitabuni kendo idine godok nyaka chop ndalo giko. To e ndalono ji mangʼeny nodhi koni gi koni ka gimanyo rieko.”
5 Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.
Eka an Daniel nangʼicho, kendo e nyima kanyo ji mamoko ariyo nochungʼe, achiel e geng aora koni to machielo e geng aora komachielo.
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?”
Achiel kuom ji ariyo-ka nopenjo ngʼat mane orwako law mayom mane oyudo ochungʼ ewi pi ei aora niya, “Gik malichgi biro kawo kinde marom nadi mondo gitimre?”
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.”
Ngʼat morwakore gi law mayom mane ni e chuny pi aorano, notingʼo lwete korachwich kod lwete koracham malo kochomo polo, kendo ne awinje kokwongʼore gi Nying Jal Mangima Manyaka Chiengʼ; kowacho niya, “Odongʼ kinde maromo higni adek gi nus kendo ka sand misandogo jo-Nyasaye oserumo to noyud ka gigi duto osetimore.”
8 I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”
Ne awinjo gima owacho, to ne ok angʼeyo tiendgi. Omiyo napenjo niya, “Ruodha, giko mag gigi duto biro chalo nadi?”
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.
Nodwoka niya, “Daniel, koro dhi adhiya, nikech wechegi odin kendo okan nyaka chop chiengʼ giko.
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.
Ji mangʼeny ibiro pwodhi mi gidok maler kendo maonge songa, to joma richo nomed bedo maricho. Joma richo ok nowinj tiend wechegi kata achiel, to jomariek to nowinj tiendgi.
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.
“Chakre chiengʼ ma misengini mitimo pile nokethie, nyaka chop chiengʼ ma gima kwero makelo kethruok nochungie, nokaw higni adek gi nus kata odiechienge alufu achiel mia ariyo gi piero ochiko.
12 Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Ogwedh ngʼat marito kendo machopo nyaka giko mar higni adek gi nus kata odiechienge alufu achiel mia adek gi piero adek gabich.
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.”
“To in Daniel, sik kuom Nyasaye nyaka ndalo giko. Bangʼe initho, to achien inichier miyud pokni chiengʼ giko piny.”
