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.
A, i taua wa ka whakatika a Mikaera, te rangatira nui e tu nei hei hoa mo nga tama a tou iwi; na he wa raruraru taua wa, kahore mai i mua i te wa i whai iwi ai a taea noatia taua wa nei; hei taua wa ka mawhiti tou iwi, te hunga katoa e kitea kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka.
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)
Na he tokomaha o te hunga e moe ana i te puehu o te oneone e ara ake, ko etahi ki te ora tonu, ko etahi ki te whakama, ki te whakarihariha mutungakore.
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].
A ka tiaho te hunga whakaaro nui ano kei te tiaho o te kikorangi; me te hunga hoki nana i anga ai nga tangata tokomaha ki te tika, ka rite ratou ki nga whetu a ake ake.
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].”
Ko koe ia, e Raniera, kopia nga kupu, hiritia ano te pukapuka a taea noatia te mutunga: he tokomaha e kopikopiko, ka nui haere ano te matauranga.
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.
Katahi ahau, a Raniera, ka titiro, na ko etahi atu tokorua e tu ana, ko tetahi i tenei taha o te parenga o te awa, ko tetahi i tera taha o te parenga o te awa.
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?”
Na ko te meatanga a tetahi ki te tangata i te kakahu rinena, ki tera i runga i nga wai o te awa, Ko ahea ra ano te mutunga o enei mea whakamiharo?
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.”
A i rongo ahau i ta te tangata i te kakahu rinena, i ta tera i runga i nga wai o te awa, i te aranga o tona matau, o tona maui whaka te rangi, a oatitia ana e ia ma tera e ora tonu ana ake ake, kia taka ra ano tetahi wa, nga wa, me te hawhe; a ki a oti ta ratou tukituki i te kaha o te iwi tapu, katahi ka oti enei katoa.
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?”
A ka rongo ahau, engari kihai i matau; katahi ahau ka mea, E toku Ariki, he aha ra te mutunga o enei mea?
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.
Katahi tera ka ki mai, Haere, e Raniera, kua oti hoki nga kupu te kokopi atu, hiri rawa a taea noatia te wa o te mutunga.
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].
He tokomaha e mea i a ratou kia pokekore, kia ma, kia parakore; engari ko te hunga kino ka mahi i te kino, a e kore tetahi o te hunga kino e matau; ko te hunga whai whakaaro ia ka matau.
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.
Na, mai o te wa e whakakahoretia ai te patunga tapu tuturu, e tu ai te mea whakarihariha, te mea whakangaro, kotahi mano e rua rau e iwa tekau nga ra.
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
Ka hari te tangata e tatari ana, a ka tutuki ki nga ra kotahi mano e toru rau e toru tekau ma rima.
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].”
Na haere kia taea ra ano te mutunga; ka okioki hoki koe, a ka tu ki tou wahi i te mutunga o nga ra.
