< 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.
In tempore autem illo consurget Michael princeps magnus, qui stat pro filiis populi tui: et veniet tempus quale non fuit ab eo ex quo gentes esse coeperunt usque ad tempus illud. Et in tempore illo salvabitur populus tuus, omnis qui inventus fuerit scriptus in libro.
2 Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.
Et multi de his, qui dormiunt in terrae pulvere, evigilabunt: alii in vitam aeternam, et alii in opprobrium ut videantur semper.
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.
Qui autem docti fuerint, fulgebunt quasi splendor firmamenti: et qui ad iustitiam erudiunt multos, quasi stellae in perpetuas aeternitates.
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.”
Tu autem Daniel claude sermones, et signa librum usque ad tempus statutum: plurimi pertransibunt, et multiplex erit scientia.
5 Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.
Et vidi ego Daniel, et ecce quasi duo alii stabant: unus hinc super ripam fluminis, et alius inde ex altera ripa fluminis.
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?”
Et dixi viro, qui erat indutus lineis, qui stabat super aquas fluminis: Usquequo finis horum mirabilium?
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.”
Et audivi virum, qui indutus erat lineis, qui stabat super aquas fluminis, cum elevasset dexteram et sinistram suam in caelum, et iurasset per viventem in aeternum, quia in tempus, et tempora, et dimidium temporis. Et cum completa fuerit dispersio manus populi sancti, complebuntur universa haec.
8 I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”
Et ego audivi, et non intellexi. Et dixi: Domine mi, quid erit post haec?
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.
Et ait: Vade Daniel, quia clausi sunt, signatique sermones usque ad praefinitum tempus.
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.
Eligentur, et dealbabuntur, et quasi ignis probabuntur multi: et impie agent impii, neque intelligent omnes impii, porro docti intelligent.
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.
Et a tempore cum ablatum fuerit iuge sacrificium, et posita fuerit abominatio in desolationem, dies mille ducenti nonaginta.
12 Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Beatus, qui expectat, et pervenit usque ad dies mille trecentos trigintaquinque.
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.”
Tu autem vade ad praefinitum: et requiesces, et stabis in sorte tua in finem dierum.
