Danihelis Prophetæ 12

1 In tempore autem illo consurget Michael princeps magnus, qui stat pro filiis populi tui: et veniet tempus quale non fuit ab eo ex quo gentes esse cœperunt usque ad tempus illud. Et in tempore illo salvabitur populus tuus, omnis qui inventus fuerit scriptus in libro.

“At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.

2 Et multi de his, qui dormiunt in terræ pulvere, evigilabunt: alii in vitam æternam, et alii in opprobrium ut videant semper.

And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 Qui autem docti fuerint, fulgebunt quasi splendor firmamenti: et qui ad iustitiam erudiunt multos, quasi stellæ in perpetuas æternitates.

Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

4 Tu autem Daniel claude sermones, et signa librum usque ad tempus statutum: plurimi pertransibunt, et multiplex erit scientia.

But you, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro, and knowledge will increase.”

5 Et vidi ego Daniel, et ecce quasi duo alii stabant: unus hinc super ripam fluminis, et alius inde ex altera ripa fluminis.

Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.

6 Et dixi viro, qui erat indutus lineis, qui stabat super aquas fluminis: Usquequo finis horum mirabilium?

One of them said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long until the fulfillment of these wonders?”

7 Et audivi virum, qui indutus erat lineis, qui stabat super aquas fluminis, cum elevasset dexteram et sinistram suam in cælum, et iurasset per viventem in æternum, quia in tempus, et tempora, et dimidium temporis. Et cum completa fuerit dispersio manus populi sancti, complebuntur universa hæc.

And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.”

8 Et ego audivi, et non intellexi. Et dixi: Domine mi, quid erit post hæc?

I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”

9 Et ait: Vade Daniel, quia clausi sunt, signatique sermones usque ad præfinitum tempus.

“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

10 Eligentur, et dealbabuntur, et quasi ignis probabuntur multi: et impie agent impii, neque intelligent omnes impii, porro docti intelligent.

Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.

11 Et a tempore cum ablatum fuerit iuge sacrificium, et posita fuerit abominatio in desolationem, dies mille ducenti nonaginta.

And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.

12 Beatus, qui expectat, et pervenit usque ad dies mille trecentos trigintaquinque.

Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.

13 Tu autem vade ad præfinitum: et requiesces, et stabis in sorte tua in finem dierum.

But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
