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.
“Nʼoge ahụ, Maikel, onyeisi ọchịchị ukwuu ahụ, nke na-eche ndị unu, ga-ebili. Ọ ga-abụ oge nhụju anya, a na-ahụtụbeghị ụdị ya site na mgbe mba ọbụla malitere ruo ugbu a. Ma mgbe ahụ, ndị gị niile, ndị e dere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, ka a ga-anapụta.
2 Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.
Igwe ndị niile nwụrụ anwụ, ndị e likwara, ha ga-ebilite. Ụfọdụ ha ga-ebili baa na ndụ ebighị ebi, ma ụfọdụ ga-ebili keta ihere na ịbụ ọnụ nke ebighị ebi.
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.
Ndị ahụ bụ ndị maara ihe, ka a ga-eme ka ha nwuo ọcha dịka ihe mbara eluigwe. Ndị ahụ niile na-emekwa ka ọtụtụ si nʼihe ọjọọ mee ezi omume ga-enwukwa dịka kpakpando ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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.”
Ma gị bụ Daniel, zoo okwu e dere nʼakwụkwọ a, mechiekwa ma kachiekwa ha akara tutu ruo ọgwụgwụ oge. Ọtụtụ ga-agbagharị ebe na ebe ọzọ, ma ihe ọmụma ga-aba ụba.”
5 Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.
Mgbe ahụ, mụ bụ Daniel weliri anya hụ mmadụ abụọ ndị ọzọ ka ha nọ nʼakụkụ osimiri ahụ, otu nʼakụkụ nke a, otu nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ.
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?”
Otu nʼime ha juru nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha, nke guzo nʼakụkụ elu elu nke osimiri ahụ ajụjụ, sị, “Olee mgbe ihe ndị a na-eyi egwu ga-emezu?”
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.”
Nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha, nke nọ nʼakụkụ elu elu mmiri nke osimiri ahụ chịlịri aka nri na aka ekpe ya elu. Anụkwara m mgbe o ji Onye ahụ na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi ṅụọ iyi, “Nʼihe ndị a ga-emezu naanị mgbe afọ atọ na ọkara gafere, tupu onye ahụ na-emebi ike nke ndị dị nsọ ga-abịa nʼisi ngwụcha ndụ ya, ihe ndị a niile ga-emezucha.”
8 I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”
Anụrụ m ma aghọtaghị m, nʼihi nke a, a sịrị m, “Biko, Onyenwe m, gịnị ka ihe ndị a ga-apụta?”
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.
Ọ sịrị, “Daniel, gawara onwe gị. Nʼihi na-apịachiela okwu ndị a, kachiekwa ya akara tutu ruo nʼọgwụgwụ oge.
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.
Ọtụtụ ka a ga-eme ka ha dị ọcha, sachaa ha mee ka ha dị ọcha na-enweghị ntụpọ, a ga-anụchakwa ha. Ma ndị ajọ omume ga-aga nʼihu nʼajọ omume ha. O nweghị onye ajọ omume nke ga-aghọtakwa ihe, ma ndị ahụ maara ihe ga-aghọta ihe ihe a pụtara.
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.
“Site nʼoge e mechiri ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nke a na-achụ kwa ụbọchị niile ruo nʼoge a ga-ewuli ihe arụ ahụ nke na-eweta mbibi, ga-abụ otu puku ụbọchị, na narị ụbọchị abụọ na iri ụbọchị itoolu.
12 Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Ngọzị ga-adịrị onye ahụ nke na-echere, ma nọgidesịkwa ike ruo mgbe otu puku ụbọchị, na narị ụbọchị atọ, na iri ụbọchị atọ na ise ahụ gafere.
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.”
“Ma gị onwe, gawara onwe gị ruo ọgwụgwụ ihe ndị a. Ị ga-ezukwa ike, ị ga-ebilitekwa nʼoge ikpeazụ ịnara ihe nketa nke ruuru gị.”
