< 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.
And at that time shall Michael stand vp, ye great prince, which standeth for ye children of thy people, and there shall be a time of trouble, such as neuer was since there began to be a nation vnto that same time: and at that time thy people shall be deliuered, euery one that shall be foud written in ye boke.
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.
And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to euerlasting life, and some to shame and perpetuall 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.
And they that be wise, shall shine, as ye brightnes of the firmament: and they that turne many to righteousnes, shall shine as the starres, for euer and euer.
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 thou, O Daniel, shut vp the words, and seale the boke til the end of the time: many shall run to and from, and knowledge shall be increased.
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 behold, there stood other two, ye one on this side of ye brinke of ye riuer, and the other on that side of ye brinke of the riuer.
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?"
And one saide vnto the man clothed in linen, which was vpon ye waters of the riuer, When shalbe the ende of these wonders?
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.
And I heard ye man clothed in line which was vpon the waters of the riuer, when he helde vp his right hand, and his left hand vnto heauen, and sware by him that liueth for euer, that it shall tarie for a time, two times and an halfe: and when he shall haue accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"
The I heard it, but I vnderstood it not: the said I, O my Lord, what shalbe ye end of these things?
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for ye words are closed vp, and sealed, till the ende of the time.
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 shalbe purified, made white, and tried: but the wicked shall doe wickedly, and none of the wicked shall haue vnderstanding: but the wise shall vnderstand.
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.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shalbe take away and the abominable desolatio set vp, there shalbe a thousand, two hundreth and ninetie daies.
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
Blessed is he that waiteth and commeth to the thousand, three hundreth and fiue and thirtie daies.
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.
But go thou thy way til the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand vp in thy lot, at the end of ye daies.
