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.

Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Maikeli, ʻae ʻEiki lahi, ʻaia ʻoku tokoni ki he fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai: pea ʻe hoko ha kuonga ʻoe mamahi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hano tatau talu mo e ʻi ai ha puleʻanga, ʻo aʻu ki he puleʻanga ko ia: pea ʻe fakahaofi hoʻo kakai ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻaia kotoa pē ʻe ʻiloʻi kuo tohi ʻi he tohi.

2 Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.

Pea ʻē ʻā ʻae tokolahi ʻokinautolu ʻoku mohe ʻi he efu ʻo māmani, ko e niʻihi ki he moʻui taʻengata, mo e niʻihi ki he mā mo e manuki taʻengata.

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.

Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku poto ʻe ngingila ʻo hangē ko e ulo ʻoe langi; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fakatafokiʻi ʻae tokolahi ki he māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.

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.”

Ka ko koe, ʻe Taniela, ke ke tāpuni ʻae ngaahi lea mo fakamaʻu ʻae tohi, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe ngataʻanga: ʻe feʻaluʻaki fano pe ʻae tokolahi, pea ʻe tupu ʻae poto.

5 Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.

Pea ko au Taniela ne u sio, pea vakai, naʻe tutuʻu mai ʻae toko ua kehe, ko e tokotaha ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe, pea mo e tokotaha ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe.

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?”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fukahi vai ʻoe vaitafe, “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa pea hoko ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ni?”

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.”

Pea ne u fanongo ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fukahi vai ʻoe vaitafe, ʻi heʻene hiki hake hono nima toʻomataʻu, mo hono toʻohema ki he langi, pea ne fuakava ʻiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo taʻengata, “ʻE fai ia ʻi ha kuonga mo e ngaahi kuonga, mo e vaeuamālieʻanga; pea ʻi heʻene lavaʻi ke movete ʻae mālohi ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni, ʻe toki fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.”

8 I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”

Pea ne u fanongo, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo: pea ne u pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ko e hā hono ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni?”

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.

Pea naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ke ke ʻalu koe Taniela: he kuo tāpuni mo fakamaʻu ʻae ngaahi lea, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe ngataʻanga.

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.

‌ʻE ʻi ai ʻae tokolahi ʻe fakamaʻa, mo fakahinehina, mo ʻahiʻahiʻi; ka e fai hala ʻae kau angahala: pea ʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ʻi he kau angahala ʻe ʻilo; ka e ʻilo ʻe he kau poto.

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.

Pea mei he kuonga ko ia, ʻe ʻave ai ʻae feilaulau ʻaho, mo e fokotuʻu ʻae fakalielia, ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻulia, ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe taha afe ma uangeau mo e hivangofulu.

12 Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

‌ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku tatali, pea hoko ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe taha afe ma tolungeau, mā tolungofulu ma nima.

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.”

Ka ke ʻalu pe koe ʻi ho hala kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻae ngataʻanga: he te ke mālōlō pea te ke tuʻu ʻi ho lakanga ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho.”
