Daniel 12

1 “And at that time Michael stands up, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of your people, and there has been a time of distress, such as has not been since there has been a nation until that time, and at that time your people escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.

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.

2 And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground awake, some to continuous life, and some to reproaches—to continuous abhorrence.

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.

3 And those teaching shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars for all time and forever.”

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.

4 “And you, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the scroll until the time of the end, many go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.”

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.

5 “And I have looked—I, Daniel—and behold, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood and one there at the edge of the flood,

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.

6 and he says to the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, Until when [is] the end of these wonders?

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?

7 And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, and he lifts up his right hand and his left to the heavens, and swears by Him who is living for all time, that, After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, all these are finished.

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.

8 And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?

And I heard indeed, but I understood it not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the end of these things?

9 And he says, Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things until the time of the end.

And he said, Go [thy way], Daniel; for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 Purify themselves, indeed, make themselves white, indeed, many are refined: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely understand;

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.

11 and from the time of the turning aside of the continuous [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] one thousand, two hundred, and ninety days.

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.

12 O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and comes to the one thousand, three hundred, thirty-five days.

Happy is he that waiteth, and attaineth to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

13 And you, go on to the end, then you rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.”

But thou, go [thy way] toward the end; and thou shalt rest, and arise again for thy lot at the end of the days.
