Daniel 12

1 And at that time shall Michael stand vp, ye great prince, which standeth for ye children of thy people, and there shall be a time of trouble, such as neuer was since there began to be a nation vnto that same time: and at that time thy people shall be deliuered, euery one that shall be foud written in ye boke.

“At that time Michael, the great prince who guards your people, will rise up. There will be a time of trouble such as never was since the beginning of any nation until that time. At that time your people will be saved, everyone whose name is found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to euerlasting life, and some to shame and perpetuall contempt.

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise, shall shine, as ye brightnes of the firmament: and they that turne many to righteousnes, shall shine as the starres, for euer and euer.

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky above, and those who turn many to righteousness, are like the stars forever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut vp the words, and seale the boke til the end of the time: many shall run to and from, and knowledge shall be increased.

But you, Daniel, close up these words; keep the book sealed until the time of the end. Many will run here and there, and knowledge will increase.”

5 Then I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, ye one on this side of ye brinke of ye riuer, and the other on that side of ye brinke of the riuer.

Then I, Daniel, looked, and there were two others standing. One stood on the bank on this side of the river, and one stood on the bank on the other side of the river.

6 And one saide vnto the man clothed in linen, which was vpon ye waters of the riuer, When shalbe the ende of these wonders?

One of them said to the man clothed in linen, the one who was upstream along the river, “How long will it be to the end of these amazing events?”

7 And I heard ye man clothed in line which was vpon the waters of the riuer, when he helde vp his right hand, and his left hand vnto heauen, and sware by him that liueth for euer, that it shall tarie for a time, two times and an halfe: and when he shall haue accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upstream along the river—he raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.

8 The I heard it, but I vnderstood it not: the said I, O my Lord, what shalbe ye end of these things?

I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My master, what will be the outcome of all these things?”

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for ye words are closed vp, and sealed, till the ende of the time.

He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

10 Many shalbe purified, made white, and tried: but the wicked shall doe wickedly, and none of the wicked shall haue vnderstanding: but the wise shall vnderstand.

Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shalbe take away and the abominable desolatio set vp, there shalbe a thousand, two hundreth and ninetie daies.

From the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that causes complete desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth and commeth to the thousand, three hundreth and fiue and thirtie daies.

Blessed is the one who waits until the end of the 1,335 days.

13 But go thou thy way til the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand vp in thy lot, at the end of ye daies.

You must go your way until the end, and you will rest. You will rise in the place assigned to you, at the end of days.”
