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.
E naquele tempo se levantará Michael, o grande príncipe, que se levanta a favor dos filhos do teu povo, e haverá um tempo de angústia, qual nunca houve, desde que houve nação até àquele tempo; porém naquele tempo livrar-se-á o teu povo, todo aquele que se achar escrito no livro.
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)
E muitos dos que dormem no pó da terra ressuscitarão, uns para vida eterna, e outros para vergonha e para nojo eterno.
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].
Os entendidos pois resplandecerão como o resplandor do firmamento, e os que a muitos ensinam a justiça como as estrelas sempre e eternamente.
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].”
E tu, Daniel, fecha estas palavras e sela este livro, até ao fim do tempo: então muitos passarão, lendo-o, e a ciência se multiplicará.
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.
E eu, Daniel, olhei, e eis que estavam em pé outros dois, um desta banda, à beira do rio, e o outro da outra banda, à beira do rio.
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?”
E ele disse ao homem vestido de linho, que estava sobre as águas do rio: Até quando será o fim das maravilhas?
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.”
E ouvi o homem vestido de linho, que estava sobre as águas do rio, e levantou a sua mão direita e a sua mão esquerda ao céu, e jurou por aquele que vive eternamente que depois do determinado tempo, determinados tempos e a metade do tempo, e quando acabar de espalhar o poder do povo santo, todas estas coisas serão cumpridas.
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?”
Eu pois ouvi, mas não entendi; por isso eu disse: Senhor meu, qual será o fim destas coisas?
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.
E disse: vai, Daniel, porque estas palavras estão fechadas e seladas até ao tempo do fim.
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].
Muitos serão purgados, e embranquecidos, e provados; mas os ímpios obrarão impiamente, e nenhum dos ímpios entenderá, mas os entendidos entenderão.
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.
E desde o tempo em que o contínuo sacrifício for tirado, e posta a abominação assoladora, serão mil, duzentos e noventa dias.
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
Bem-aventurado o que espera e chega até mil, trezentos e trinta e cinco dias.
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].”
Tu, porém, vai até ao fim; porque repousarás, e te levantarás na tua sorte, no fim dos dias.
