Daniel 12

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

“And at that time Michael stands up, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of your people, and there has been a time of distress, such as has not been since there has been a nation until that time, and at that time your people escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground awake, some to continuous life, and some to reproaches—to continuous abhorrence.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

And those teaching shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars for all time and forever.”

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

“And you, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the scroll until the time of the end, many go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.”

5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side.

“And I have looked—I, Daniel—and behold, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood and one there at the edge of the flood,

6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

and he says to the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, Until when [is] the end of these wonders?

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth fear ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an 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 hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, and he lifts up his right hand and his left to the heavens, and swears by Him who is living for all time, that, After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, all these are finished.

8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?

And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.

And he says, Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things until the time of the end.

10 Many shall purify themselves; and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand: but they that be wise shall understand.

Purify themselves, indeed, make themselves white, indeed, many are refined: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely understand;

11 And from the time that the continual [burnt offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

and from the time of the turning aside of the continuous [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] one thousand, two hundred, and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and comes to the one thousand, three hundred, thirty-five days.

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and shalt stand in thy lot, at the end of the days.

And you, go on to the end, then you rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.”
