< Daniel 12 >

1 And at that time will Michael, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people, stand forth; and there will be a time of distress, such as hath never been since the existence of any nation, until that same time; and at that time shall thy people be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
“Saa ɛberɛ no, Mikael, ɔhene babarima titire a ɔbɔ wo nkurɔfoɔ ho ban no bɛsɔre. Ahohia ɛberɛ bi bɛba a, ɛfiri aman no ahyɛaseɛ bɛsi saa da no, biribiara saa nsiiɛ da. Nanso saa ɛberɛ no, wo nkurɔfoɔ, obiara a wɔbɛhunu sɛ wɔatwerɛ ne din wɔ nwoma no mu no, wɔbɛgye no nkwa.
2 And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to disgrace and everlasting abhorrence.
Nnipadɔm a wɔadeda fam wɔ dɔteɛ mu no bɛnyane: ebinom bɛkɔ daa nkwa mu, na ebinom nso akɔ aniwuo ne daa ahohora mu.
3 And the intelligent shall shine brilliantly like the brilliance of the expanse [of the sky]; and they that bring many to righteousness shall be like the stars, for ever and ever.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ no bɛhyerɛn te sɛ ɔsoro hyerɛn, na wɔn a wɔdanee afoforɔ kɔɔ tenenee mu no bɛhyerɛn sɛ nsoromma daapem.
4 But thou, O Daniel, close up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end: many will roam about, yet shall knowledge be increased.
Nanso, wo Daniel, bobɔ na sɔ nsɛm a ɛwɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ no ano, kɔsi awieeɛ ɛberɛ no. Bebree bɛkyinkyini akɔpɛ nimdeɛ.”
5 Then I Daniel looked, and behold, there were two others standing, the one on this side of the bank of the stream, and the other on that side of the bank of the stream.
Afei, me Daniel mehwɛ hunuu nnipa baanu bi wɔ mʼanim; ɔbaako gyina asubɔnten no konkɔn so, na ɔbaako nso gyina konkɔn a ɛhwɛ baako no anim no so.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
Wɔn mu baako bisaa ɔbarima a ɔfira nwera no a ɔgyina asuo no so no sɛ, “Ɛbɛdi nna ahe ansa na anwanwadeɛ yi aba mu?”
7 Then heard I the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto the heavens, and swore by the Everliving One that after a time, times, and a half, and when there shall be an end to the crushing of the power of the holy people, all these things shall be ended.
Ɔbarima no a ɔfira nwera na ɔwɔ nsuo no so no maa ne nsa nifa ne benkum so kyerɛɛ soro, na metee sɛ ɔde deɛ ɔte hɔ daa no kaa ntam sɛ, “Ɛbɛkɔ so saa ara akɔsi ɛberɛ bi, mmerɛ bi ne ɛberɛ sini bi. Sɛ nnipa kronkron no tumi sɛeɛ no ba awieeɛ koraa a, wɔbɛwie saa nneɛma yi nyinaa.”
8 And I heard indeed, but I understood it not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Meteeɛ, nanso mante aseɛ. Enti, mebisaa sɛ, “Me Wura ɛdeɛn na ɛbɛfiri yeinom nyinaa mu aba?”
9 And he said, Go [thy way], Daniel; for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Na ɔbuaa sɛ, “Daniel kɔ, ɛfiri sɛ wɔabobɔ nsɛm no asɔ ano de akɔsi awieeɛ mmerɛ no.
10 Many shall be selected and cleansed, and purified; but the wicked will deal wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand: but the intelligent will understand.
Wɔbɛhohoro bebree ho a efi ne nkekaeɛ biara nni wɔn ho, nanso atirimuɔdenfoɔ bɛkɔ so ayɛ atirimuɔden; wɔn mu biara rente aseɛ, nanso anyansafoɔ deɛ, wɔbɛte aseɛ.
11 And from the time that the continual sacrifice will be removed, even to set up the desolating abomination, there will be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
“Ɛfiri da a wɔbɛbra daa afɔrebɔ na wɔde akyiwadeɛ a ɔsɛeɛ nam ne so bɛba abɛsi hɔ no bɛyɛ nnafua apem ahanu aduɔkron.
12 Happy is he that waiteth, and attaineth to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Nhyira ne deɛ ɔtwɛn kɔsi nnafua apem ahasa aduasa enum awieeɛ no.
13 But thou, go [thy way] toward the end; and thou shalt rest, and arise again for thy lot at the end of the days.
“Wo Daniel deɛ, tintim kɔduru awieeɛ. Wobɛhome, na nna no awieeɛ no, wobɛsɔre na woakɔgye wo kyɛfa a ɛwɔ agyapadeɛ no mu.”
