Daniel 12
1 “Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Mikael, mawudɔlawo ƒe amegã si dzɔa wò amewo ŋu la atso. Xaxaɣi si tɔgbi meva kpɔ o, tso dukɔwo ƒe gɔmedzedze va se ɖe ɣe ma ɣi la anɔ anyi. Ke le ɣe ma ɣi me, wo ame siwo ƒe ŋkɔwo woŋlɔ ɖe agbegbalẽ la me la akpɔ xɔxɔ.
At that time Michael the great prince, the protector of your people, will stand up and there will be a time of trouble like never before, since nations first existed. But at that time your people will be saved, all whose names are written in the book.
2 Ame gbogbo siwo le alɔ̃ dɔm le anyigba ƒe tume la anyɔ, ɖewo na agbe mavɔ, eye bubuawo na ŋukpe kple vlododo mavɔ.
Millions sleeping in the ground in death will awake, some to eternal life, and some to eternal shame and disgrace.
3 Nunyalawo aklẽ abe dziƒoŋunuwo ene eye ame siwo fiaa dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔ ame geɖewo la hã aklẽ abe ɣletiviwo ene tegbetegbe.
Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky; those who have shown many the right way to live will shine as bright as the stars forever and ever.
4 Ke wò, Daniel, dzra nya siawo ɖo eye nàtre lãgbalẽgbalẽ la me nyawo nu va se ɖe esime nuwuwu ƒe ɣeyiɣi la naɖo. Ame geɖewo ayi afii kple afi mɛ be yewoadzi yewoƒe nunya ɖe edzi.”
But as for you, Daniel, keep this message secret, and seal the book closed until the time of the end. Many will search this way and that way, and knowledge will grow greater and greater.”
5 Tete nye, Daniel, mefɔ mo dzi eye, kpɔ ɖa, ame bubu eve le tsitre ɖe nye ŋkume, ɖeka le tɔsisi la ƒe go sia dzi eye evelia le go kemɛ dzi.
Then I, Daniel, noticed two others, each standing on opposite sides of the river.
6 Wo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ na ame si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu eye wòle tsitre ɖe tɔsisi la tame be, “Va sa ɖe ɣe ka ɣi hafi nu manyatalenu siawo ava eme?”
One of then asked the man dressed in linen who was above the river's waters, “How long before these outrageous things come to an end?”
7 Ŋutsu si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu eye wòle tsitre ɖe tɔsisi la tame la, do eƒe ɖusibɔ kple miabɔ ɖe dziƒo eye mese wòta ame si le agbe tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me la gblɔ be, “Anye le ƒe ɖeka, ƒe eve alo ƒe afã megbe, nenye be woŋe ame kɔkɔeawo ƒe ŋusẽ mlɔeba la, ekema nu siawo katã ava eme.”
The man dressed in linen, who was above the river's waters, lifted both hands to heaven made a solemn promise by the One who lives eternally. I heard him say, “It will last for a time, times, and half a time. When the scattering of the power of the holy people has come to an end, then all these things will also come to an end.”
8 Mesee gake nyemese egɔme o. Ale mebiae be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, nu ka anye nu siawo ƒe metsonu?”
I heard the answer, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, “My lord, what's the final result of all this?”
9 Eɖo eŋu nam be, “Daniel, heyi elabena wowu nyawo nu eye wotre wo nu va se ɖe esime nuwuwu ƒe ɣeyiɣi la naɖo.
“Daniel, you can go on your way now,” he replied, “for this message is secret and kept sealed until the time of the end.
10 Woakɔ ame geɖewo ŋu, awɔ wo dzadzɛe, ɖiƒoƒo aɖeke manɔ wo ŋu o gake ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ya aganɔ vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi dzi ko. Ame vɔ̃ɖi aɖeke mase egɔme o gake nunyalawo ya ase egɔme.
Many will be purified and cleansed and refined, but the wicked will go on being wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.
11 “Tso esime wotsi gbe sia gbe ƒe vɔsawo nu, eye woɖo ŋunyɔnu si hea gbegblẽ vɛ te la, anye ŋkeke akpe ɖeka, alafa eve blaasiekɛ.
From the time the continual ministry is stopped in order to set up the idolatry that causes devastation will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Woayra ame si do dzi, eye wònɔ te va se ɖe ŋkeke akpe ɖeka, alafa etɔ̃ blaetɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ ƒe nuwuwu.
Blessed are those who patiently wait for and reach the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 “Ke wò la, lé wò mɔ ɖe asi va se ɖe nuwuwu. Wò la, àdzudzɔ, eye le ŋkekeawo ƒe nuwuwu la, àtsi tsitre, eye nàxɔ domenyinu si nye wò gome.”
But as for you, go your way until your life ends, and then rest. You will rise to receive your reward at the end of time.”
