Daniel 12
1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who guards your people, will rise up. There will be a time of trouble such as never was since the beginning of any nation until that time. At that time your people will be saved, everyone whose name is found written in the book.
“Saa bere no, Mikael, ɔhene babarima titiriw a ɔbɔ wo nkurɔfo ho ban no bɛsɔre. Ahohia bere bi bɛba a, efi aman no mfiase besi saa da no, biribi a ɛte saa nsii da. Nanso saa bere no, wo nkurɔfo no mu biara a wobehu sɛ wɔakyerɛw ne din wɔ nhoma no mu no, wobegye no nkwa.
2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Nnipadɔm a wɔadeda fam wɔ dɔte mu no benyan: ebinom bɛkɔ daa nkwa mu, na ebinom nso akɔ aniwu ne daa ahohora mu.
3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky above, and those who turn many to righteousness, are like the stars forever and ever.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ anyansafo no bɛhyerɛn te sɛnea ɔsoro hyerɛn, na wɔn a wɔdan afoforo kɔɔ trenee mu no bɛhyerɛn sɛ nsoromma, daapem.
4 But you, Daniel, close up these words; keep the book sealed until the time of the end. Many will run here and there, and knowledge will increase.”
Nanso wo Daniel, bobɔw na sɔw nsɛm a ɛwɔ nhoma mmobɔwee no ano kosi awiei bere no. Bebree bekyinkyin akɔpɛ nimdeɛ.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and there were two others standing. One stood on the bank on this side of the river, and one stood on the bank on the other side of the river.
Afei, me Daniel, mehwɛ huu nnipa baanu bi wɔ mʼanim; ɔbaako gyina asubɔnten no konkɔn so, na ɔbaako nso gyina konkɔn a ɛhwɛ baako no anim no so.
6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, the one who was upstream along the river, “How long will it be to the end of these amazing events?”
Wɔn mu baako bisaa ɔbarima a ofura nwera a ogyina asu no so no se, “Ebedi nnaahe ansa na anwonwade yi aba mu?”
7 I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upstream along the river—he raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.
Ɔbarima no a ofura nwera na ɔwɔ asu no so no maa ne nsa nifa ne benkum so kyerɛɛ ɔsoro, na metee sɛ ɔde nea ɔte hɔ daa no kaa ntam se, “Ɛbɛkɔ so saa ara akosi bere bi, mmere bi ne bere sin bi. Sɛ nnipa kronkron no tumisɛe no ba awiei koraa a, wobewie saa nneɛma yi nyinaa.”
8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My master, what will be the outcome of all these things?”
Metee, nanso mante ase. Enti mibisae se, “Me Wura dɛn na ebefi eyinom nyinaa mu aba?”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Na obuae se, “Daniel kɔ, efisɛ wɔabobɔ nsɛm no so, asɔw ano de akosi awiei mmere no.
10 Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
Wɔbɛhohoro bebree ho a fi ne nkekae biara renka wɔn ho, nanso atirimɔdenfo bɛkɔ so ayɛ atirimɔden; wɔn mu biara rente ase, nanso anyansafo de wɔbɛte ase.
11 From the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that causes complete desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
“Efi da a wɔbɛbra daa afɔrebɔ na wɔde akyiwade a ɔsɛe nam ne so bɛba abesi hɔ no bɛyɛ nnafua apem ahannu aduɔkron.
12 Blessed is the one who waits until the end of the 1,335 days.
Nhyira ne nea ɔtwɛn kosi nnafua apem ahaasa aduasa anum awiei no.
13 You must go your way until the end, and you will rest. You will rise in the place assigned to you, at the end of days.”
“Wo Daniel de, tintim kodu awiei. Wobɛhome, na nna no awiei no, wobɛsɔre na woakogye wo kyɛfa a ɛwɔ agyapade no mu.”
