Danyèl 12
1 “Alò, nan lè sa a, Micaël, gran prens ki te kanpe pou fis a pèp ou yo, va leve. Epi va gen yon tan gwo twoub jan sa pa t janm te konn fèt soti lè te gen yon nasyon jis rive nan lè sa a. Epi nan lè sa a, pèp ou a va vin delivre, tout moun ke gen non ekri nan liv la.
[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 Anpil nan sila ki dòmi nan pousyè latè yo va leve, yon pati pou lavi etènèl yo, men lòt yo pou gwo wont ak mepriz ki p ap janm fini.
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 Sila ki gen bon konprann yo va briye klè tankou ekla a tout syèl la. Epi sila ki mennen anpil moun vè ladwati yo, va brile tankou zetwal jis pou tout tan, e pou tout tan.
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 Men ou menm, Daniel, kache pawòl sila yo, e sele liv la nèt, jis rive nan fen tan yo. Anpil moun va kouri fè ale vini, e konesans va ogmante.”
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 Epi mwen menm, Daniel te gade, e vwala, de lòt moun te kanpe, youn sou bò rivyè sa a, e lòt la sou lòtbò a.
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 Konsa youn te di a mesye abiye an len an, ki te sou dlo rivyè a: “Konbyen tan pou rive nan fen a bagay mèvèy sila yo?”
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 Mwen te tande nonm abiye an len an, ki te sou dlo rivyè a, lè l te leve men dwat li ak men goch li vè syèl la. Li te jire pa li menm ki viv pou tout tan an, ki li va pou yon tan, tan yo, ak yon mwatye tan. Lè yo fin kraze pouvwa a pèp sen an, tout evenman sila yo va fini.
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 Konsa, mwen te tande, men mwen pa t ka konprann. Akoz sa, mwen te di: “Senyè mwen, kisa ki va fen a evenman sila yo?”
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 Li te di: “Ale, Daniel, paske pawòl sila yo kache e sele nèt, jiska moman lafen an.
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 Anpil moun va pirifye tèt yo, e fè tèt yo blan pou vin rafine, men mechan yo va aji ak mechanste. Konsa okenn nan mechan yo p ap konprann, men sila ki gen sajès yo va konprann.
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 “Soti nan lè ke sakrifis nòmal la te vin aboli a abominasyon ak dezolasyon vin monte a, va genyen mil-de-san-katreven-dis jou.
[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 Beni se sila ki va tann, e rive jis nan Mil-twa-san-trann-senk jou yo.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 “Men ou menm, kontinye fè wout ou, jis rive nan fen an. Paske ou va antre nan repo, e ou va kanpe ankò pou pòsyon eritaj pa ou a nan fen jou yo.”
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].”
