< Daniel 12 >

1 "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.
U ono će vrijeme ustati Mihael, veliki knez koji štiti sinove tvog naroda. Bit će to vrijeme tjeskobe kakve ne bijaše otkako je ljudi pa do toga vremena. U ono vrijeme tvoj će se narod spasiti - svi koji se nađu zapisani u Knjizi.
2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Tada će se probuditi mnogi koji snivaju u prahu zemljinu; jedni za vječni život, drugi za sramotu, za vječnu gadost.
3 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.
Umnici će blistati kao sjajni nebeski svod, i koji su mnoge učili pravednosti, kao zvijezde navijeke, u svu vječnost.
4 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."
A ti, Daniele, drži u tajnosti ove riječi i zapečati ovu knjigu do vremena svršetka! Mnogi će tumarati, i bezakonja će rasti.”
5 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.
Ja, Daniel, pogledah, kad eno: druga dvojica stajahu jedan s jedne, drugi s druge strane rijeke.
6 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?"
Jedan upita čovjeka odjevena u lanene haljine koji stajaše iznad voda rijeke: “Kada će doći kraj tim čudesima?”
7 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.
Začuh čovjeka odjevena u lanene haljine, koji stajaše iznad voda rijeke; on podiže k nebu desnicu i ljevicu, kunući se Vječno živim. “Nakon jednog vremena, dva vremena i pola vremena - kada dođe kraj rasulu snage svetoga naroda - sve će se to svršiti.”
8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"
Ja slušah, ali ne razumjeh, pa upitah: “Gospodaru, kako će to svršiti?”
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
On reče: “Idi, Daniele, ove su riječi tajne i zapečaćene do vremena svršetka.
10 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.
Mnogi će se očistiti, ubijeliti i prokušati; a bezbožnici će i dalje biti bezbožni; bezbožnici se neće urazumjeti, a umnici će razumjeti.
11 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.
Od časa kad bude dokinuta svagdašnja žrtva i postavljena grozota pustoši: tisuću dvjesta i devedeset dana.
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
Blago onomu koji dočeka i dosegne tisuću trista trideset i pet dana!
13 But go your way until the end. For you shall rest, and shall rise to receive your reward at the end of the days.
A ti idi i otpočini; ustat ćeš da primiš svoju baštinu na kraju dana.”
