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.
En aquel tiempo se alzará Miguel, el gran príncipe y defensor de los hijos de tu pueblo; y vendrá tiempo de angustia cual nunca ha habido desde que existen naciones hasta ese tiempo. En ese tiempo será librado tu pueblo, todo aquel que se hallare inscrito en el libro.
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)
También muchos de los que duermen en el polvo de la tierra se despertarán, unos para vida eterna, otros para ignominia y vergüenza eterna.
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].
Entonces los sabios brillarán como el resplandor del firmamento, y los que condujeron a muchos a la justicia, como las estrellas por toda la eternidad.
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].”
Tú, Daniel, encierra estas palabras, y sella el libro hasta el tiempo del fin. Muchos buscarán y se acrecentará el conocimiento.”
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.
Y yo, Daniel, miré y vi otros dos que estaban en pie el uno aquende el río y el otro allende el río.
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?”
Y dijo (uno de los dos) al varón vestido de lino que estaba sobre las aguas del río: “¿Cuándo será el cumplimiento de estas maravillas?”
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.”
Y oí al varón vestido de lino, que estaba sobre las aguas del río, cuando levantando su diestra y su izquierda hacia el cielo juró por Aquel que vive eternamente que eso será dentro de un tiempo, (dos) tiempos y la mitad (de un tiempo) y que todas estas cosas se cumplirán cuando el poder del pueblo santo sea completamente destruido.
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?”
Yo oí, pero no comprendí. Dije, “Señor mío: ¿cuál será el fin de estas cosas?”
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.
Y él respondió: “Anda, Daniel; pues estas palabras están cerradas y selladas hasta el tiempo del fin.
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].
Muchos serán purificados y blanqueados y acrisolados; pero los malos seguirán haciendo el mal, y ninguno de los malvados entenderá; mas los sabios entenderán.
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.
Desde el tiempo en que será quitado el sacrificio perpetuo y entronizada la abominación desoladora, pasarán mil doscientos noventa días.
12 God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
¡Bienaventurado el que espere, y llegue a mil trescientos treinta y cinco días!
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].”
Tú, empero, marcha hacia tu fin y descansa, y te levantarás para (recibir) tu herencia al fin de los días.”
