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.
“At that time Michael, the great prince who guards your people, will rise up. There will be a time of trouble such as never was since the beginning of any nation until that time. At that time your people will be saved, everyone whose name is found written in the book.
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.
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
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.
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky above, and those who turn many to righteousness, are like the stars forever and ever.
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."
But you, Daniel, close up these words; keep the book sealed until the time of the end. Many will run here and there, and knowledge will increase.”
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.
Then I, Daniel, looked, and there were two others standing. One stood on the bank on this side of the river, and one stood on the bank on the other side of the river.
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?"
One of them said to the man clothed in linen, the one who was upstream along the river, “How long will it be to the end of these amazing events?”
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.
I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upstream along the river—he raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.
8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"
I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My master, what will be the outcome of all these things?”
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
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.
Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
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.
From the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that causes complete desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
Blessed is the one who waits until the end of the 1,335 days.
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.
You must go your way until the end, and you will rest. You will rise in the place assigned to you, at the end of days.”
