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;
U ono će vrijeme ustati Mihael, veliki knez koji štiti sinove tvog naroda. Bit će to vrijeme tjeskobe kakve ne bijaše otkako je ljudi pa do toga vremena. U ono vrijeme tvoj će se narod spasiti - svi koji se nađu zapisani u Knjizi.
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;
Tada će se probuditi mnogi koji snivaju u prahu zemljinu; jedni za vječni život, drugi za sramotu, za vječnu gadost.
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.
Umnici će blistati kao sjajni nebeski svod, i koji su mnoge učili pravednosti, kao zvijezde navijeke, u svu vječnost.
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.
A ti, Daniele, drži u tajnosti ove riječi i zapečati ovu knjigu do vremena svršetka! Mnogi će tumarati, i bezakonja će rasti.”
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.
Ja, Daniel, pogledah, kad eno: druga dvojica stajahu jedan s jedne, drugi s druge strane rijeke.
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?
Jedan upita čovjeka odjevena u lanene haljine koji stajaše iznad voda rijeke: “Kada će doći kraj tim čudesima?”
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.
Začuh čovjeka odjevena u lanene haljine, koji stajaše iznad voda rijeke; on podiže k nebu desnicu i ljevicu, kunući se Vječno živim. “Nakon jednog vremena, dva vremena i pola vremena - kada dođe kraj rasulu snage svetoga naroda - sve će se to svršiti.”
8 And, I, heard, but could not understand, —so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things?
Ja slušah, ali ne razumjeh, pa upitah: “Gospodaru, kako će to svršiti?”
9 Then said he, Go thy way, Daniel; for closed up and sealed are the words, until the time of the end.
On reče: “Idi, Daniele, ove su riječi tajne i zapečaćene do vremena svršetka.
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;
Mnogi će se očistiti, ubijeliti i prokušati; a bezbožnici će i dalje biti bezbožni; bezbožnici se neće urazumjeti, a umnici će razumjeti.
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.
Od časa kad bude dokinuta svagdašnja žrtva i postavljena grozota pustoši: tisuću dvjesta i devedeset dana.
12 Happy! is he that waiteth, and attaineth to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Blago onomu koji dočeka i dosegne tisuću trista trideset i pet dana!
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.
A ti idi i otpočini; ustat ćeš da primiš svoju baštinu na kraju dana.”
