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.
"Pada waktu itu juga akan muncul Mikhael, pemimpin besar itu, yang akan mendampingi anak-anak bangsamu; dan akan ada suatu waktu kesesakan yang besar, seperti yang belum pernah terjadi sejak ada bangsa-bangsa sampai pada waktu itu. Tetapi pada waktu itu bangsamu akan terluput, yakni barangsiapa yang didapati namanya tertulis dalam Kitab itu.
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)
Dan banyak dari antara orang-orang yang telah tidur di dalam debu tanah, akan bangun, sebagian untuk mendapat hidup yang kekal, sebagian untuk mengalami kehinaan dan kengerian yang kekal.
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].
Dan orang-orang bijaksana akan bercahaya seperti cahaya cakrawala, dan yang telah menuntun banyak orang kepada kebenaran seperti bintang-bintang, tetap untuk selama-lamanya.
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].”
Tetapi engkau, Daniel, sembunyikanlah segala firman itu, dan meteraikanlah Kitab itu sampai pada akhir zaman; banyak orang akan menyelidikinya, dan pengetahuan akan bertambah."
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.
Kemudian aku, Daniel, melihat, maka tampaklah berdiri dua orang lain, seorang di tepi sungai sebelah sini dan yang lain di tepi sungai yang sebelah sana.
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?”
Dan yang seorang bertanya kepada yang berpakaian kain lenan, yang ada di sebelah atas air sungai itu: "Bilakah hal-hal yang ajaib ini akan berakhir?"
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.”
Lalu kudengar orang yang berpakaian kain lenan, yang ada di sebelah atas air sungai itu bersumpah demi Dia yang hidup kekal, sambil mengangkat tangan kanan dan tangan kirinya ke langit: "Satu masa dan dua masa dan setengah masa; dan setelah berakhir kuasa perusak bangsa yang kudus itu, maka segala hal ini akan digenapi!"
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?”
Adapun aku, memang kudengar hal itu, tetapi tidak memahaminya, lalu kutanya: "Tuanku, apakah akhir segala hal ini?"
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.
Tetapi ia menjawab: "Pergilah, Daniel, sebab firman ini akan tinggal tersembunyi dan termeterai sampai akhir zaman.
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].
Banyak orang akan disucikan dan dimurnikan dan diuji, tetapi orang-orang fasik akan berlaku fasik; tidak seorangpun dari orang fasik itu akan memahaminya, tetapi orang-orang bijaksana akan memahaminya.
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.
Sejak dihentikan korban sehari-hari dan ditegakkan dewa-dewa kekejian yang membinasakan itu ada seribu dua ratus dan sembilan puluh hari.
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
Berbahagialah orang yang tetap menanti-nanti dan mencapai seribu tiga ratus tiga puluh lima hari.
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].”
Tetapi engkau, pergilah sampai tiba akhir zaman, dan engkau akan beristirahat, dan akan bangkit untuk mendapat bagianmu pada kesudahan zaman."
