< Daniel 12 >

1 “Nʼoge ahụ, Maikel, onyeisi ọchịchị ukwuu ahụ, nke na-eche ndị unu, ga-ebili. Ọ ga-abụ oge nhụju anya, a na-ahụtụbeghị ụdị ya site na mgbe mba ọbụla malitere ruo ugbu a. Ma mgbe ahụ, ndị gị niile, ndị e dere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ ahụ, ka a ga-anapụta.
And, at that time, will Michael, the great ruler who standeth for the sons of thy people, make a stand, and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, up to that time, —and, at that time, shall thy people, be delivered, every one found written in the book;
2 Igwe ndị niile nwụrụ anwụ, ndị e likwara, ha ga-ebilite. Ụfọdụ ha ga-ebili baa na ndụ ebighị ebi, ma ụfọdụ ga-ebili keta ihere na ịbụ ọnụ nke ebighị ebi.
and, many of the sleepers in the dusty ground, shall awake, —these, [shall be] to age-abiding life, but, those, to reproach, and age-abiding abhorrence;
3 Ndị ahụ bụ ndị maara ihe, ka a ga-eme ka ha nwuo ọcha dịka ihe mbara eluigwe. Ndị ahụ niile na-emekwa ka ọtụtụ si nʼihe ọjọọ mee ezi omume ga-enwukwa dịka kpakpando ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
and, they who make wise, shall shine like the shining of the expanse, —and, they who bring the many to righteousness, like the stars to times age-abiding and beyond.
4 Ma gị bụ Daniel, zoo okwu e dere nʼakwụkwọ a, mechiekwa ma kachiekwa ha akara tutu ruo ọgwụgwụ oge. Ọtụtụ ga-agbagharị ebe na ebe ọzọ, ma ihe ọmụma ga-aba ụba.”
But, thou, Daniel, close up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end, —many will run to and fro, and knowledge, shall abound.
5 Mgbe ahụ, mụ bụ Daniel weliri anya hụ mmadụ abụọ ndị ọzọ ka ha nọ nʼakụkụ osimiri ahụ, otu nʼakụkụ nke a, otu nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ.
Then, I, Daniel, looked, and lo! two others, standing, —one on this side of the bank of the river, and one on that side of the bank of the river.
6 Otu nʼime ha juru nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha, nke guzo nʼakụkụ elu elu nke osimiri ahụ ajụjụ, sị, “Olee mgbe ihe ndị a na-eyi egwu ga-emezu?”
And one said to the man clothed with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be the end of the wonders?
7 Nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha, nke nọ nʼakụkụ elu elu mmiri nke osimiri ahụ chịlịri aka nri na aka ekpe ya elu. Anụkwara m mgbe o ji Onye ahụ na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi ṅụọ iyi, “Nʼihe ndị a ga-emezu naanị mgbe afọ atọ na ọkara gafere, tupu onye ahụ na-emebi ike nke ndị dị nsọ ga-abịa nʼisi ngwụcha ndụ ya, ihe ndị a niile ga-emezucha.”
And I heard the man clothed with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age-abiding, —For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things.
8 Anụrụ m ma aghọtaghị m, nʼihi nke a, a sịrị m, “Biko, Onyenwe m, gịnị ka ihe ndị a ga-apụta?”
And, I, heard, but could not understand, —so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things?
9 Ọ sịrị, “Daniel, gawara onwe gị. Nʼihi na-apịachiela okwu ndị a, kachiekwa ya akara tutu ruo nʼọgwụgwụ oge.
Then said he, Go thy way, Daniel; for closed up and sealed are the words, until the time of the end.
10 Ọtụtụ ka a ga-eme ka ha dị ọcha, sachaa ha mee ka ha dị ọcha na-enweghị ntụpọ, a ga-anụchakwa ha. Ma ndị ajọ omume ga-aga nʼihu nʼajọ omume ha. O nweghị onye ajọ omume nke ga-aghọtakwa ihe, ma ndị ahụ maara ihe ga-aghọta ihe ihe a pụtara.
Many, will purify themselves and be made white and be refined, but the lawless, will act lawlessly, and none of the lawless, shall understand, —but, they who make wise, shall understand;
11 “Site nʼoge e mechiri ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nke a na-achụ kwa ụbọchị niile ruo nʼoge a ga-ewuli ihe arụ ahụ nke na-eweta mbibi, ga-abụ otu puku ụbọchị, na narị ụbọchị abụọ na iri ụbọchị itoolu.
and, from the time of the taking away of the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the placing of the horrid abomination that astoundeth, [shall be] one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Ngọzị ga-adịrị onye ahụ nke na-echere, ma nọgidesịkwa ike ruo mgbe otu puku ụbọchị, na narị ụbọchị atọ, na iri ụbọchị atọ na ise ahụ gafere.
Happy! is he that waiteth, and attaineth to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 “Ma gị onwe, gawara onwe gị ruo ọgwụgwụ ihe ndị a. Ị ga-ezukwa ike, ị ga-ebilitekwa nʼoge ikpeazụ ịnara ihe nketa nke ruuru gị.”
But, thou, go thy way to the end, —and thou shalt rest, and shalt rise to thy lot at the end of the days.
