< Daniel 12 >

1 And, at that time, will Michael, the great ruler who standeth for the sons of thy people, make a stand, and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, up to that time, —and, at that time, shall thy people, be delivered, every one found written in the book;
«وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ يَقُومُ مِيخَائِيلُ ٱلرَّئِيسُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْقَائِمُ لِبَنِي شَعْبِكَ، وَيَكُونُ زَمَانُ ضِيقٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُنْذُ كَانَتْ أُمَّةٌ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ يُنَجَّى شَعْبُكَ، كُلُّ مَنْ يُوجَدُ مَكْتُوبًا فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ.١
2 and, many of the sleepers in the dusty ground, shall awake, —these, [shall be] to age-abiding life, but, those, to reproach, and age-abiding abhorrence;
وَكَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ فِي تُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَسْتَيْقِظُونَ، هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْحَيَاةِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْعَارِ لِلِٱزْدِرَاءِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ.٢
3 and, they who make wise, shall shine like the shining of the expanse, —and, they who bring the many to righteousness, like the stars to times age-abiding and beyond.
وَٱلْفَاهِمُونَ يَضِيئُونَ كَضِيَاءِ ٱلْجَلَدِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ رَدُّوا كَثِيرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْبِرِّ كَٱلْكَوَاكِبِ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلدُّهُورِ.٣
4 But, thou, Daniel, close up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end, —many will run to and fro, and knowledge, shall abound.
«أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا دَانِيآلُ فَأَخْفِ ٱلْكَلَامَ وَٱخْتِمِ ٱلسِّفْرَ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. كَثِيرُونَ يَتَصَفَّحُونَهُ وَٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ تَزْدَادُ».٤
5 Then, I, Daniel, looked, and lo! two others, standing, —one on this side of the bank of the river, and one on that side of the bank of the river.
فَنَظَرْتُ أَنَا دَانِيآلَ وَإِذَا بِٱثْنَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ قَدْ وَقَفَا وَاحِدٌ مِنْ هُنَا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، وَآخَرُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ.٥
6 And one said to the man clothed with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be the end of the wonders?
وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ ٱللَّابِسِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ فَوْقِ مِيَاهِ ٱلنَّهْرِ: «إِلَى مَتَى ٱنْتِهَاءُ ٱلْعَجَائِبِ؟»٦
7 And I heard the man clothed with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age-abiding, —For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things.
فَسَمِعْتُ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ فَوْقِ مِيَاهِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، إِذْ رَفَعَ يُمْنَاهُ وَيُسْرَاهُ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحَلَفَ بِٱلْحَيِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ: «إِنَّهُ إِلَى زَمَانٍ وَزَمَانَيْنِ وَنِصْفٍ. فَإِذَا تَمَّ تَفْرِيقُ أَيْدِي ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ تَتِمُّ كُلُّ هَذِهِ».٧
8 And, I, heard, but could not understand, —so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things?
وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ وَمَا فَهِمْتُ. فَقُلْتُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي، مَا هِيَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ؟»٨
9 Then said he, Go thy way, Daniel; for closed up and sealed are the words, until the time of the end.
فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبْ يَا دَانِيآلُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ مَخْفِيَّةٌ وَمَخْتُومَةٌ إِلَى وَقْتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ.٩
10 Many, will purify themselves and be made white and be refined, but the lawless, will act lawlessly, and none of the lawless, shall understand, —but, they who make wise, shall understand;
كَثِيرُونَ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ وَيُبَيَّضُونَ وَيُمَحَّصُونَ، أَمَّا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فَيَفْعَلُونَ شَرًّا. وَلَا يَفْهَمُ أَحَدُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، لَكِنِ ٱلْفَاهِمُونَ يَفْهَمُونَ.١٠
11 and, from the time of the taking away of the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the placing of the horrid abomination that astoundeth, [shall be] one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
وَمِنْ وَقْتِ إِزَالَةِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ ٱلدَّائِمَةِ وَإِقَامَةِ رِجْسِ ٱلْمُخَرَّبِ أَلْفٌ وَمِئَتَانِ وَتِسْعُونَ يَوْمًا.١١
12 Happy! is he that waiteth, and attaineth to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَيَبْلُغُ إِلَى ٱلْأَلْفِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِ مِئَةٍ وَٱلْخَمْسَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا.١٢
13 But, thou, go thy way to the end, —and thou shalt rest, and shalt rise to thy lot at the end of the days.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ فتَسْتَرِيحَ، وتَقُومَ لِقُرعَتِكَ فِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ».١٣
