Daniel 12
1 Et en ce temps-là se lèvera Micaël, le grand chef, qui tient pour les fils de ton peuple; et ce sera un temps de détresse tel, qu’il n’y en a pas eu depuis qu’il existe une nation jusqu’à ce temps-là. Et en ce temps-là ton peuple sera délivré: quiconque sera trouvé écrit dans le livre.
[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.
2 Et plusieurs qui dorment dans la poussière de la terre se réveilleront, les uns pour la vie éternelle, et les autres pour l’opprobre, pour être un objet d’horreur éternelle.
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)
3 Et les sages brilleront comme la splendeur de l’étendue, et ceux qui ont enseigné la justice à la multitude, comme les étoiles, à toujours et à perpétuité.
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].
4 Et toi, Daniel, cache les paroles et scelle le livre jusqu’au temps de la fin. Plusieurs courront çà et là; et la connaissance sera augmentée.
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].”
5 Et moi, Daniel, je regardai; et voici deux autres [personnages] qui se tenaient, l’un deçà, sur le bord du fleuve, et l’autre delà, sur le bord du fleuve.
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.
6 Et il dit à l’homme vêtu de lin qui était au-dessus des eaux du fleuve: Jusques à quand la fin de ces merveilles?
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?”
7 Et j’entendis l’homme vêtu de lin qui était au-dessus des eaux du fleuve; et il leva sa main droite et sa main gauche vers les cieux, et jura par celui qui vit éternellement que ce serait pour un temps déterminé, et des temps déterminés, et une moitié [de temps]; et lorsqu’il aura achevé de briser la force du peuple saint, toutes ces choses seront achevées.
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.”
8 Et moi, j’entendis, mais je ne compris pas. Et je dis: Mon seigneur, quelle sera l’issue de ces choses?
I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
9 Et il dit: Va, Daniel; car ces paroles sont cachées et scellées jusqu’au temps de la fin.
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.
10 Plusieurs seront purifiés et blanchis et affinés; et les méchants agiront méchamment, et aucun des méchants ne comprendra; mais les sages comprendront.
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].
11 Et depuis le temps où le [sacrifice] continuel sera ôté et où l’abomination qui désole sera placée, [il y aura] 1 290 jours.
[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.
12 Bienheureux celui qui attend et qui parvient à 1 335 jours!
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 Et toi, va jusqu’à la fin; et tu te reposeras, et tu te tiendras dans ton lot, à la fin des jours.
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].”
