< 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.
Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Maikeli, ʻae ʻEiki lahi, ʻaia ʻoku tokoni ki he fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai: pea ʻe hoko ha kuonga ʻoe mamahi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hano tatau talu mo e ʻi ai ha puleʻanga, ʻo aʻu ki he puleʻanga ko ia: pea ʻe fakahaofi hoʻo kakai ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻaia kotoa pē ʻe ʻiloʻi kuo tohi ʻi he tohi.
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.
Pea ʻē ʻā ʻae tokolahi ʻokinautolu ʻoku mohe ʻi he efu ʻo māmani, ko e niʻihi ki he moʻui taʻengata, mo e niʻihi ki he mā mo e manuki taʻengata.
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.
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku poto ʻe ngingila ʻo hangē ko e ulo ʻoe langi; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fakatafokiʻi ʻae tokolahi ki he māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fetuʻu, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
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."
Ka ko koe, ʻe Taniela, ke ke tāpuni ʻae ngaahi lea mo fakamaʻu ʻae tohi, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe ngataʻanga: ʻe feʻaluʻaki fano pe ʻae tokolahi, pea ʻe tupu ʻae poto.
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.
Pea ko au Taniela ne u sio, pea vakai, naʻe tutuʻu mai ʻae toko ua kehe, ko e tokotaha ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe, pea mo e tokotaha ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe.
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?"
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fukahi vai ʻoe vaitafe, “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa pea hoko ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ni?”
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.
Pea ne u fanongo ki he tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fukahi vai ʻoe vaitafe, ʻi heʻene hiki hake hono nima toʻomataʻu, mo hono toʻohema ki he langi, pea ne fuakava ʻiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo taʻengata, “ʻE fai ia ʻi ha kuonga mo e ngaahi kuonga, mo e vaeuamālieʻanga; pea ʻi heʻene lavaʻi ke movete ʻae mālohi ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni, ʻe toki fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.”
8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?"
Pea ne u fanongo, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo: pea ne u pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ko e hā hono ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni?”
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Pea naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ke ke ʻalu koe Taniela: he kuo tāpuni mo fakamaʻu ʻae ngaahi lea, ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ʻoe ngataʻanga.
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.
‌ʻE ʻi ai ʻae tokolahi ʻe fakamaʻa, mo fakahinehina, mo ʻahiʻahiʻi; ka e fai hala ʻae kau angahala: pea ʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ʻi he kau angahala ʻe ʻilo; ka e ʻilo ʻe he kau poto.
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.
Pea mei he kuonga ko ia, ʻe ʻave ai ʻae feilaulau ʻaho, mo e fokotuʻu ʻae fakalielia, ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻulia, ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe taha afe ma uangeau mo e hivangofulu.
12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
‌ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku tatali, pea hoko ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe taha afe ma tolungeau, mā tolungofulu ma nima.
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.
Ka ke ʻalu pe koe ʻi ho hala kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻae ngataʻanga: he te ke mālōlō pea te ke tuʻu ʻi ho lakanga ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho.”
