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;

“But at that time Michael will rise up, the great leader, who stands up for the sons of your people. And a time will come, such as has not been from the time that nations began, even until that time. And, at that time, your people will be saved, all who will be found written in the book.

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;

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awaken: some to everlasting life, and others to a reproach that they will always see.

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.

But those who have taught will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who instruct many towards justice, like the stars for unending eternity.

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.

But you, Daniel, close the message and seal the book, until the established time. Many will pass through, and knowledge will be increased.”

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.

And I, Daniel, looked, and behold, similarly two others stood up, one over here, on the bank of the river, and the other over there, on the other bank of the river.

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?

And I said to the man, who was clothed in linen, who stood over the waters of the river, “How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”

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.

And I heard the man, who was clothed in linen, who stood over the waters of the river, when he had lifted his right hand and his left hand up to heaven, and had sworn by He who lives forever, that it would be for a time, and times, and half a time. And when the dispersion of the hand of the holy people is completed, all these things will be completed.

8 And, I, heard, but could not understand, —so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things?

And I heard and did not understand. And I said, “My lord, what will be after these things?”

9 Then said he, Go thy way, Daniel; for closed up and sealed are the words, until the time of the end.

And he said, “Go, Daniel, for the words are closed and sealed until the predetermined time.

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;

Many will be chosen and purified, and, as if by fire, they will be tested, and the impious will act impiously, and none of the impious will understand, yet the teachers will understand.

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.

And from the time when the continual sacrifice will be taken away and the abomination of desolation will be set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days.

12 Happy! is he that waiteth, and attaineth to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

Blessed is he who waits and reaches until one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.

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.

But you, go, until the predetermined time, and you will rest and will stand in your allotted place at the end of days.
