Daniel 12
1 [The angel also said to me, ] “After those things happen, the great angel Michael, who protects the [Israeli] people, will appear. Then there will be a time when there will be great troubles/suffering. The troubles will be greater than any troubles/suffering since the nations began. At that time, all of your people whose names have been written in the book [containing the names of those who have eternal life] will be saved.
“Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo Mikaeli, mũnene ũrĩa ũgitagĩra andũ anyu, nĩakarahũka. Nĩgũkaagĩa ihinda rĩa mĩnyamaro mĩingĩ ĩtarĩ yoneka ĩngĩ tayo kuuma rĩrĩa andũ mambĩrĩrie gũtuĩka ndũrĩrĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩyo. No rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo andũ anyu makaahonokio, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũgaakorwo aandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ.
2 Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
Kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ kĩa arĩa makomete rũkũngũ-inĩ rwa thĩ nĩmakariũkio: amwe mariũkĩre muoyo-inĩ ũrĩa ũtagaathira, nao arĩa angĩ mariũke nĩgeetha maconorithio na matũũre marĩ amene tene na tene.
3 Those who were wise will shine as brightly as the sky [is bright when the sun is shining]. And those who have shown to others the way to live righteously will shine forever, like the stars [SIM].
Arĩa oogĩ magaacangarara ta ũtheri wa igũrũ, nao arĩa macookagia andũ njĩra-inĩ cia ũthingu magaakenga ta njata tene na tene.
4 But as for you, Daniel, close up the scroll [on which you are writing], and seal it [in order that no one can open it] until the end [of the world] is near. [Before that happens, ] many people will travel rapidly here and there, learning more and more [about many things].”
No wee, Danieli, hinga ibuku na ũhũũre mũhũũri ciugo icio nyandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, nginya rĩrĩa ithirĩro rĩgaakinya. Amu andũ aingĩ nĩmakorũũraga kũndũ na kũndũ nĩguo mongerere ũmenyo.”
5 When [that angel finished speaking], I, Daniel, looked up, and suddenly I saw two other [angels]. One was standing on the side of the river [where I was], and one was standing on the other side.
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, niĩ Danieli ngĩrora, ngĩona hau mbere yakwa harũngiĩ andũ angĩ eerĩ, ũmwe wao arũngiĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia mũrĩmo ũyũ wa rũũĩ nake ũcio ũngĩ akarũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ.
6 One of them [called to] the other one, who was wearing linen/white clothes, who was now standing further up (OR, above) the river, “How long will it be until these amazing/frightening events end?”
Ũmwe wao akĩarĩria mũndũ ũcio wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, o ũcio warũgamĩte igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma rũũĩ, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ macio ma kũgegania megũikara ihinda rĩigana atĩa magĩkahinga?”
7 The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority [MTY] of God, who lives forever, “It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who (persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for) them.”
Mũndũ ũcio wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, o ũcio warũgamĩte igũrũ rĩa maaĩ ma rũũĩ, akĩambararia guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo o na ningĩ kwa ũmotho amerekeirie na igũrũ, ngĩcooka ngĩigua ehĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩa ũrĩa ũtũũraga tene na tene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ macio megũikara ihinda rĩmwe, na mahinda meerĩ, na nuthu ya ihinda. Rĩrĩa hinya wa andũ arĩa atheru ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũniine biũ-rĩ, nĩguo maũndũ macio mothe makaahingio.”
8 I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
Niĩ ngĩĩiguĩra maũndũ macio, no ndiigana gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ mo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, kĩrĩkĩrĩro kĩa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩĩ?”
9 He replied, “Daniel, you must leave now. [I cannot answer your question] because what it means must (be kept secret/not be revealed) [DOU] until the time when everything ends.
Nake akĩnjookeria, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Danieli wĩthiĩre, tondũ ciugo icio nĩhingĩre na ikahũũrwo mũhũũri nginya ihinda rĩa ithirĩro.
10 Many people will thoroughly purify their inner beings [DOU]. But wicked people will not understand these things. They will continue to be wicked. Only those who are wise will understand [these things].
Andũ aingĩ nĩmagatherio, mathirwo nĩ gĩko merũhio, taarĩ gũkumuthwo makumuthĩtwo magathera, no arĩa aaganu nĩmagakĩrĩrĩria kwagana, na gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ũkaamenya gĩtũmi kĩa maũndũ macio, no arĩa oogĩ nĩmakamamenya.
11 [But I can tell you that before everything ends, ] there will be 1,290 days, from the time that people are prevented from offering sacrifices each day, that is, from the time that the abominable/disgusting thing is put in the temple.
“Kuuma ihinda rĩrĩa magongona ma o mũthenya makaniinwo, na ithenya rĩamo harũgamio kĩndũ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ thaahu, kĩrĩa kĩngĩtũma bũrũri ũkire ihooru, gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mĩthenya 1,290.
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ ũrĩa ũgweterera na akinyĩrie mũthia wa mĩthenya 1,335.
13 So [now I say] to you, continue to faithfully [trust God] until [your life on earth] ends. You will die [EUP], but when everything ends, you will receive your reward [from God].”
“No wee-rĩ, wĩthiĩre nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ithirĩro rĩgaakinya. Nĩũkahurũka, na ningĩ marigĩrĩrio ma mĩthenya ĩyo nĩũkariũka nĩgeetha wamũkĩre igai rĩaku.”
