< Daniel 12 >
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
“Pa nthawi imeneyo Mikayeli, mngelo wamkulu amene amateteza anthu a mtundu wako, adzabwera. Imeneyi idzakhala nthawi ya mavuto aakulu omwe sanaonekepo kuyambira pachiyambi cha mitundu ya anthu mpaka nthawi ikudzayo. Komatu pa nthawiyi anthu a mtundu wako, aliyense amene dzina lake lidzapezeke lolembedwa mʼbuku adzapulumutsidwa.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence.
Ambiri mwa amene akugona mʼnthaka adzadzuka: ena adzapita ku moyo wosatha, ena ku malo amanyazi ndi chilango chosatha.
3 And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Amene ali anzeru mʼnjira ya chilungamo adzawala ngati kuwala kwa mlengalenga, ndipo amene alondolera ambiri ku njira yolungama, adzawala ngati nyenyezi ku nthawi zosatha.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.'
Koma iweyo, Danieli, sungitsa mawuwa, umate bukuli kufikira nthawi ya chimaliziro. Anthu ambiri adzapita uku ndi uko ndipo nzeru zidzanka zikukulirakulira.”
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the bank of the river on this side, and the other on the bank of the river on that side.
Kenaka ine Danieli poyangʼana ndinaona anthu ena awiri atayima, wina tsidya lino la mtsinje, wina tsidya linalo.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river: 'How long shall it be to the end of the wonders?'
Mmodzi mwa awiriwo anafunsa munthu wovala chovala chosalala amene anali mʼmbali mwa madzi a mu mtsinje uja kuti, “Kodi padzapita nthawi yayitali bwanji kuti zodabwitsazi zidzakwaniritsidwe?”
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Munthu wovala chovala chosalala, amene anali mʼmbali mwa madzi a mu mtsinje uja, anakweza dzanja lake lamanja ndi lamanzere kumwamba, ndipo ndinamumva akulumbira mʼdzina la Wamoyo ku nthawi zonse uja kuti, “Zidzachitika patapita zaka zitatu ndi theka. Zinthu zonsezi zidzachitika akadzatha masautso amene agwera anthu olungama.”
8 And I heard, but I understood not; then said I: 'O my Lord, what shall be the latter end of these things?'
Ndinamva, koma sindinamvetsetse. Choncho ndinafunsa kuti, “Mbuye wanga, nanga matsiriziro a zonsezi adzakhala chiyani?”
9 And he said: 'Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.
Ndipo anandiyankha kuti, “Pita iwe Danieli, pakuti mawuwa ndi osungidwa ndi omatidwa kufikira nthawi ya chimaliziro.
10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.
Anthu ambiri adzayeretsedwa nakhala olungama wopanda chodetsa, koma oyipa adzakhala chiyipire. Palibe mmodzi wa anthu oyipa amene adzamvetsetsa koma okhawo amene ali anzeru adzamvetsetsa.
11 And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the detestable thing that causes appalment set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
“Kuyambira pamene nsembe ya tsiku ndi tsiku idzathetsedwa ndi kukhazikitsa kwa chonyansa chobweretsa chisokonezo chija, padzapita masiku 1,290.
12 Happy is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Wodala munthu amene adikirabe nadzafika pa mapeto a masiku 1,335.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be; and thou shalt rest, and shalt stand up to thy lot, at the end of the days.'
“Koma iweyo Danieli, pitiriza ndipo ulimbikire mpaka matsiriziro. Kenaka udzamwalira. Koma mʼmasiku otsiriza udzauka kuti ulandire gawo lako.”
