< 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.
And at that time shall Michael arise, the great prince that standeth up for the sons of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that time; and at that time shall thy people be delivered, every one that is found 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.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt.
3 Nunyalawo aklẽ abe dziƒoŋunuwo ene eye ame siwo fiaa dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔ ame geɖewo la hã aklẽ abe ɣletiviwo ene tegbetegbe.
And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn the many to righteousness, as the stars for ever 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 thou, Daniel, shut up these words, and seal this book even to the time of the end. Many shall run eagerly through it, and much knowledge shall be gained.
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.
And I Daniel looked, and behold, two others stood there, one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank 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?”
And one of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
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.”
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him that liveth forever, that in a time, times, and a half, even when the dispersion of a portion of the holy people should be at an end, all these things should be fulfilled.
8 Mesee gake nyemese egɔme o. Ale mebiae be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, nu ka anye nu siawo ƒe metsonu?”
And I heard but understood not; and I said, My lord, what is the latter end of these things?
9 Eɖo eŋu nam be, “Daniel, heyi elabena wowu nyawo nu eye wotre wo nu va se ɖe esime nuwuwu ƒe ɣeyiɣi la naɖo.
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till 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 shall be cleansed, and made white, and purified, and the wicked will do wickedly; and 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.
And from the time when the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination of the destroyer set up, there shall be a 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.
Happy is he that waiteth and cometh to a 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 go thou thy way even to the end; for thou shalt rest, and rise up to thy lot at the end of the days.
