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.

"At that time shall Michael arise, the great prince who watches over the children of your people. And there shall be a time of distress unparalleled since the beginning of the nation until that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who 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.

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

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

And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever 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 you, Daniel, close up these words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall roam here and there, and knowledge shall increase."

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 look, two others stood, one on this bank of the river, and one on the other bank of the river.

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 river, "How long shall it be till these wonders take place?"

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.

I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever 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.

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, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome 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 your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until 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 purified, cleansed and refined; but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall 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.

From the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.

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

Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.

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

But go your way until the end. For you shall rest, and shall rise to receive your reward at the end of the days.
