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.
Katika kipindi hicho, Mikaeli, jemedari mkuu ambaye huwalinda watu wako, atainuka. Kutakuwa na wakati wa mateso ambao haujawahi kutokea tangu mwanzo wa taifa lolote mpaka kipindi hicho. Katika muda huo watu wako wataokolewa, yeyote ambaye jina lake litapatikana katika kitabu.
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.
Na wengi wa wale waliolala katika mavumbi ya dunia watainuka. baadhi kwa uzima wa milele na baadhi kwa ajili ya fedheha na matwezo ya milele.
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.
Wale wenye hekima watang'ara kama mng'ao wa anga la juu, na wale wenye kuwaelekeza wengine katika haki, watakuwa kama nyota milele na milele.
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.
Lakini wewe, Danieli, yafunge maneno haya; kihifadhi kitabu kikiwa kimetiwa chapa mpaka nyakati za mwisho. Watu wengi watakimbia huku na kule, na maarifa yataongezeka.
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.
Kisha mimi, Danieli, nilitazama, na kulikuwa na malaika wengine wawili wamesimama. Mmoja alisimama katika upande huu wa ukingo wa mto, na mwingine alisimama katika ukingo wa upande mwingine wa mto.
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?
Mmoja wao alimwambia mtu aliyevaa nguo za kitani, yeye aliyekuwa juu ya mkondo wa mto, “Je itachukua muda gani mpaka mwisho wa matukio haya ya kushangaza?”
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.
Nilimsikia mtu yule aliyevaa nguo za kitani, aliyekuwa juu katika mkondo wa mto, aliinua mkono wake wa kuume na mkono wake wa kushoto kuelekea mbinguni na kuapa kwa yeye aishiye milele kwamba itakuwa kwa wakati, nyakati, na nusu wakati. Na wakati nguvu za watu watakatifu zitakapokuwa zimeshaharibiwa, mambo haya yote yatakuwa yamemalizika.
8 The I heard it, but I vnderstood it not: the said I, O my Lord, what shalbe ye end of these things?
Nilisikia, lakini sikufahamu. Basi nikamwuliza, “Bwana wangu, mambo haya yote yatakuwa na matokeo gani?”
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for ye words are closed vp, and sealed, till the ende of the time.
Alisema, “Nenda zako Danieli, kwa kuwa maneno yamefungwa na kutiwa chapa mpaka wakati wa mwisho.
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.
Watu wengi watakuwa wametakaswa, wameoshwa, na kusafishwa, lakini waovu wataenenda katika uovu.
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.
Katika muda ule ambapo sadaka ya kawaida ya kuteketezwa itakapokuwa imeondolewa na chukizo la uharibifu liliosababisha ukiwa limesimamishwa, kutakuwa na siku zipatazo 1, 290.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth and commeth to the thousand, three hundreth and fiue and thirtie daies.
Ana heri mtu yule anayengojea mpaka mwisho wa siku 1, 335.
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.
Unapaswa uondoke uende njia yako hata mwisho, na kisha utapumzika. Utainuka katika sehemu uliyopewa, mwishoni mwa siku.”
