< 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.
“Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo Mikaeli, mũnene ũrĩa ũgitagĩra andũ anyu, nĩakarahũka. Nĩgũkaagĩa ihinda rĩa mĩnyamaro mĩingĩ ĩtarĩ yoneka ĩngĩ tayo kuuma rĩrĩa andũ mambĩrĩrie gũtuĩka ndũrĩrĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩyo. No rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo andũ anyu makaahonokio, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũgaakorwo aandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ.
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.
Kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ kĩa arĩa makomete rũkũngũ-inĩ rwa thĩ nĩmakariũkio: amwe mariũkĩre muoyo-inĩ ũrĩa ũtagaathira, nao arĩa angĩ mariũke nĩgeetha maconorithio na matũũre marĩ amene tene na tene.
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.
Arĩa oogĩ magaacangarara ta ũtheri wa igũrũ, nao arĩa macookagia andũ njĩra-inĩ cia ũthingu magaakenga ta njata tene na tene.
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."
No wee, Danieli, hinga ibuku na ũhũũre mũhũũri ciugo icio nyandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, nginya rĩrĩa ithirĩro rĩgaakinya. Amu andũ aingĩ nĩmakorũũraga kũndũ na kũndũ nĩguo mongerere ũmenyo.”
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.
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, niĩ Danieli ngĩrora, ngĩona hau mbere yakwa harũngiĩ andũ angĩ eerĩ, ũmwe wao arũngiĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia mũrĩmo ũyũ wa rũũĩ nake ũcio ũngĩ akarũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ.
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?"
Ũmwe wao akĩarĩria mũndũ ũcio wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, o ũcio warũgamĩte igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma rũũĩ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ macio ma kũgegania megũikara ihinda rĩigana atĩa magĩkahinga?”
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.
Mũndũ ũcio wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, o ũcio warũgamĩte igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma rũũĩ, akĩambararia guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo o na ningĩ kwa ũmotho amerekeirie na igũrũ, ngĩcooka ngĩigua ehĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩa ũrĩa ũtũũraga tene na tene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ macio megũikara ihinda rĩmwe, na mahinda meerĩ, na nuthu ya ihinda. Rĩrĩa hinya wa andũ arĩa atheru ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũniine biũ-rĩ, nĩguo maũndũ macio mothe makaahingio.”
8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"
Niĩ ngĩĩiguĩra maũndũ macio, no ndiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ mo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, kĩrĩkĩrĩro kĩa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩĩ?”
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Nake akĩnjookeria, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Danieli wĩthiĩre, tondũ ciugo icio nĩhingĩre na ikahũũrwo mũhũũri nginya ihinda rĩa ithirĩro.
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.
Andũ aingĩ nĩmagatherio, mathirwo nĩ gĩko merũhio, taarĩ gũkumuthwo makumuthĩtwo magathera, no arĩa aaganu nĩmagakĩrĩrĩria kwagana, na gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ũkaamenya gĩtũmi kĩa maũndũ macio, no arĩa oogĩ nĩmakamamenya.
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.
“Kuuma ihinda rĩrĩa magongona ma o mũthenya makaniinwo, na ithenya rĩamo harũgamio kĩndũ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thaahu, kĩrĩa kĩngĩtũma bũrũri ũkire ihooru, gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mĩthenya 1,290.
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ ũrĩa ũgweterera na akinyĩrie mũthia wa mĩthenya 1,335.
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.
“No wee-rĩ, wĩthiĩre nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ithirĩro rĩgaakinya. Nĩũkahurũka, na ningĩ marigĩrĩrio ma mĩthenya ĩyo nĩũkariũka nĩgeetha wamũkĩre igai rĩaku.”
