Daniel 12
1 “Iti dayta a tiempo, tumakderto ni Miguel a naindaklan a prinsipe a mangbanbantay kadagiti tattaom. Addanto ti tiempo iti riribuk a saan pay a pulos a napasamak manipud idi nangrugi ti aniaman a nasion agingga iti dayta a tiempo. Iti dayta a tiempo, maisalakanto dagiti tattaom, tunggal maysa a masarakan ti naganna a naisurat iti libro.
[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 Adunto iti agungar kadagiti pimmusay a dimmaga, dagiti dadduma ket para iti biag nga agnanayon ken dagiti dadduma ket para iti pannakaibabain ken agnanayon a pannakailaksid.
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 Agraniagto dagiti masirib a kasla iti raniag ti tangatang, ket kaslanto kadagiti bituen iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana dagiti mangisuro iti adu iti kinalinteg.
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 Ngem sika, Daniel, serraam dagitoy a sasao; pagtalinaedem a naselio-an ti libro agingga iti panungpalan. Adunto ti agtaray nga umay ditoy ken mapan sadiay, ket manayonanto ti pannakaammo.”
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 Ket siak a ni Daniel, kimmitaak, ket adda pay iti dua a nakatakder. Nagtakder ti maysa iti daytoy nga igid ti karayan, ket nagtakder met ti maysa iti bangir nga igid ti karayan.
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 Kinuna ti maysa kadakuada iti lalaki a nakakawes iti lino, nga adda iti sursurong nga igid ti karayan, “Kasano ti kabayag agingga iti panungpalan dagitoy a nakaskasdaaw a pasamak?
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 Nangngegko ti lalaki a nakakawes iti lino nga adda iti sursurong nga igid ti karayan - ingngatona sadi langit ti makannawan ken makannigid nga imana ket nagsapata babaen iti sibibiag iti agnanayon nga agpaayto iti maysa a tiempo, dagiti tiempo, ken kagudua, dayta ket tallo ket kagudua a tawen. Inton agpatinggan ti pannakaburburak ti bileg dagiti nasantoan a tattao, malpasto amin dagitoy a banbanag.
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 Nangngegko, ngem saanko a naawatan. Isu a sinaludsodko, “Apok, anianto ti pagbanagan amin dagitoy a banbanag?”
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 Kinunana, “Daniel, mapankan, ta naserraan ken naselio-an dagiti sasao agingga iti panungpalan.
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 Adunto ti mapasin-aw, madalusan ken maguguran, ngem agtignayto a sidadangkes dagiti nadangkes. Awanto kadagiti nadangkes ti makaawat, ngem maawatanto dagiti masirib.
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 Iti tiempo a maikkat ti inaldaw a daton a mapuoran ken ti pannakaisaad ti makarimon a pakaigapuan iti naan-anay a pannakadadael, addanto 1, 290 nga aldaw.
[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 Nagasat ti tao nga aguray agingga iti panagleppas ti 1, 335 nga aldaw.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 Masapul nga agtalinaedka iti dalanmo agingga iti panungpalan, ket aginanakanto. Agungarkanto iti lugar a naidutok kenka, iti pagpatinggaan dagiti aldaw.”
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].”
