< 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.
“Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Mikael, mawudɔlawo ƒe amegã si dzɔa wò amewo ŋu la atso. Xaxaɣi si tɔgbi meva kpɔ o, tso dukɔwo ƒe gɔmedzedze va se ɖe ɣe ma ɣi la anɔ anyi. Ke le ɣe ma ɣi me, wo ame siwo ƒe ŋkɔwo woŋlɔ ɖe agbegbalẽ la me la akpɔ xɔxɔ.
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.
Ame gbogbo siwo le alɔ̃ dɔm le anyigba ƒe tume la anyɔ, ɖewo na agbe mavɔ, eye bubuawo na ŋukpe kple vlododo mavɔ.
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.
Nunyalawo aklẽ abe dziƒoŋunuwo ene eye ame siwo fiaa dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔ ame geɖewo la hã aklẽ abe ɣletiviwo ene tegbetegbe.
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."
Ke wò, Daniel, dzra nya siawo ɖo eye nàtre lãgbalẽgbalẽ la me nyawo nu va se ɖe esime nuwuwu ƒe ɣeyiɣi la naɖo. Ame geɖewo ayi afii kple afi mɛ be yewoadzi yewoƒe nunya ɖe edzi.”
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.
Tete nye, Daniel, mefɔ mo dzi eye, kpɔ ɖa, ame bubu eve le tsitre ɖe nye ŋkume, ɖeka le tɔsisi la ƒe go sia dzi eye evelia le go kemɛ dzi.
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?"
Wo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ na ame si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu eye wòle tsitre ɖe tɔsisi la tame be, “Va sa ɖe ɣe ka ɣi hafi nu manyatalenu siawo ava eme?”
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.
Ŋutsu si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu eye wòle tsitre ɖe tɔsisi la tame la, do eƒe ɖusibɔ kple miabɔ ɖe dziƒo eye mese wòta ame si le agbe tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me la gblɔ be, “Anye le ƒe ɖeka, ƒe eve alo ƒe afã megbe, nenye be woŋe ame kɔkɔeawo ƒe ŋusẽ mlɔeba la, ekema nu siawo katã ava eme.”
8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"
Mesee gake nyemese egɔme o. Ale mebiae be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, nu ka anye nu siawo ƒe metsonu?”
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Eɖo eŋu nam be, “Daniel, heyi elabena wowu nyawo nu eye wotre wo nu va se ɖe esime nuwuwu ƒe ɣeyiɣi la naɖo.
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.
Woakɔ ame geɖewo ŋu, awɔ wo dzadzɛe, ɖiƒoƒo aɖeke manɔ wo ŋu o gake ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ya aganɔ vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi dzi ko. Ame vɔ̃ɖi aɖeke mase egɔme o gake nunyalawo ya ase egɔme.
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.
“Tso esime wotsi gbe sia gbe ƒe vɔsawo nu, eye woɖo ŋunyɔnu si hea gbegblẽ vɛ te la, anye ŋkeke akpe ɖeka, alafa eve blaasiekɛ.
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
Woayra ame si do dzi, eye wònɔ te va se ɖe ŋkeke akpe ɖeka, alafa etɔ̃ blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ ƒe nuwuwu.
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.
“Ke wò la, lé wò mɔ ɖe asi va se ɖe nuwuwu. Wò la, àdzudzɔ, eye le ŋkekeawo ƒe nuwuwu la, àtsi tsitre, eye nàxɔ domenyinu si nye wò gome.”
