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.
Til den Tid skal Mikael staa frem, den store Fyrste, som værner dit Folks Sønner, og en Trængselstid kommer, som hidtil ikke har haft sin Mage, saa længe der var Folkeslag til. Men paa den Tid skal dit Folk frelses, alle, der er optegnet i Bogen.
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.
Og mange af dem, der sover under Mulde, skal vaagne, nogle til evigt Liv, andre til Skam, til evig Afsky.
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.
De forstandige skal straale som Himmelhvælvingens Glans, og de, der førte de mange til Retfærdighed, skal lyse som Stjerner evigt og altid.
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."
Men du, Daniel, sæt Lukke for Ordene og Segl for Bogen til Endens Tid! Mange skal granske i den, og Kundskaben skal blive stor.«
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.
Og jeg, Daniel, skuede, og se, der stod to andre hver paa sin Side af Floden.
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?"
Og den ene spurgte Manden, som bar de linnede Klæder og svævede over Flodens Vande: »Hvor længe varer det, før disse sælsomme Ting er til Ende?«
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.
Saa hørte jeg Manden i de linnede Klæder, ham, som svævede over Flodens Vande, sværge ved ham, som lever evindelig, idet han løftede begge Hænder mod Himmelen: »Een Tid, to Tider og en halv Tid! Naar hans Magt, som knuser det hellige Folk, er til Ende, skal alle disse Ting fuldbyrdes.«
8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"
Og jeg hørte det, men fattede det ikke; saa spurgte jeg: »Herre, hvad er det sidste af disse Ting?«
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Og han svarede: »Gaa bort, Daniel, thi for Ordene er der sat Lukke og Segl til Endens Tid.
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.
Mange skal sigtes, renses og lutres, men de gudløse handler gudløst, og ingen af de gudløse skal forstaa, men det skal de forstandige.
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.
Fra den Tid det daglige Offer ophæves og Ødelæggelsens Vederstyggelighed rejses, skal der gaa 1290 Dage.
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
Salig er den, der holder ud og oplever 1335 Dage.
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.
Men gaa du Enden i Møde, læg dig til Hvile og staa op til din Lod ved Dagenes Ende!«
