< 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.
“Ní àkókò náà, ni Mikaeli, ọmọ-aládé ńlá, ẹni tí o ń dáàbò bo àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀ yóò dìde. Àkókò ìpọ́njú yóò wà, irú èyí tí kò tí ì ṣẹlẹ̀ rí láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè títí di àkókò náà. Ṣùgbọ́n ní àkókò náà àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn tí a bá ti rí orúkọ wọn nínú ìwé ni a ó gbàlà.
2 Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn tí ó sùn nínú erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ni yóò jí: àwọn mìíràn sí ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, àwọn tókù sí ìtìjú àti sí ẹ̀gàn àìnípẹ̀kun.
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.
Àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n yóò máa tàn bí ìmọ́lẹ̀ ọ̀run, àti àwọn tí ó ń tọ́nisọ́nà sí òdodo, yóò máa tàn bí ìràwọ̀ láé àti láéláé.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ Daniẹli, pa ìwé náà dé kí o sì pa ọ̀rọ̀ ọ rẹ̀ mọ́ títí àkókò ìgbẹ̀yìn. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ yóò máa lọ sí ìhín sí ọ̀hún láti jẹ́ kí ìmọ̀ wọn di púpọ̀.”
5 Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.
Nígbà náà, ni èmi Daniẹli, wò, ní iwájú mi àwọn méjì mìíràn dúró, ọ̀kan dúró sí apá ìhín ní etí bèbè odò ẹnìkan náà ní apá òdìkejì ọ̀hún etí i bèbè.
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?”
Ọ̀kan lára wọn sọ fún ọkùnrin tí ó wọ aṣọ àlà, ẹni tí ó wà lórí omi odò pé, “Báwo ni yóò ṣe pẹ́ tó kí àwọn nǹkan ìyanu wọ̀nyí tó wá sí ìmúṣẹ?”
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.”
Ọkùnrin tí ó wọ aṣọ àlà, ẹni tí ó wà lórí omi odò, gbé ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ àti ọwọ́ òsì rẹ̀, mo gbọ́ tí ó fi ẹni tí ó wà títí láé búra, ó sọ wí pé, “Yóò ṣe ní àkókò kan, àkókò méjì àti ààbọ̀. Nígbà tí agbára àwọn ẹni mímọ́ yóò ti fọ́ tán pátápátá, gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí yóò sì parí.”
8 I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”
Èmi gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò yé mi. Nígbà náà ni mo béèrè pé, “Olúwa mi, kí ni yóò jẹ́ àbábọ̀ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí?”
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.
Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Máa lọ ní ọ̀nà rẹ, Daniẹli nítorí tí a ti pa ọ̀rọ̀ náà dé, a sì ti fi èdìdì dì í di ìgbà ìkẹyìn.
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.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni a ó fọ̀ mọ́, wọn yóò wà láìlábàwọ́n, a ó sì tún wọn ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹni búburú yóò máa ṣe búburú lọ, kò sí ẹni búburú tí òye yóò yé ṣùgbọ́n òye yóò yé àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n.
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.
“Láti àkókò tí a ó mú ẹbọ ojoojúmọ́ kúrò, tí a ó sì gbé ìríra tí ó ń fa ìsọdahoro kalẹ̀ yóò sì jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún àti igba lé àádọ́rùn-ún ọjọ́.
12 Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Ìbùkún ni fún ẹni tí ó dúró, ti ó sì di òpin ẹgbẹ̀rún àti ọ̀ọ́dúnrún lé àrùndínlógójì ọjọ́.
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.”
“Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, máa lọ ní ọ̀nà rẹ, títí di òpin. Ìwọ yóò sinmi, àti ní òpin ọjọ́ ìwọ yóò dìde láti gba èrè rẹ.”
