Daniela 12

1 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hitsangana Mikaela, andrian-dehibe, izay mitsangana hiaro ny zanaky ny firenenao; ary hisy andro fahoriana, izay tsy nisy tahaka azy hatrizay nisian’ ny firenena ka hatramin’ izany andro izany; ary amin’ izany dia ho afaka ny firenenao, dia izay rehetra hita voasoratra ao amin’ ny boky.

And at that time Michael will take up his place, the great angel, who is the supporter of the children of your people: and there will be a time of trouble, such as there never was from the time there was a nation even till that same time: and at that time your people will be kept safe, everyone who is recorded in the book.

2 Ary maro amin’ izay matory ao amin’ ny vovoky ny tany no hifoha: ny sasany ho amin’ ny fiainana mandrakizay, ary ny sasany ho amin’ ny henatra sy ny latsa mandrakizay.

And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.

3 Ary izay hendry dia hamirapiratra toy ny famirapiratry ny lanitra; ary izay mamerina ny maro ho amin’ ny fahamarinana dia ho tahaka ny kitana mandrakizay doria.

And those who are wise will be shining like the light of the outstretched sky; and those by whom numbers have been turned to righteousness will be like the stars for ever and ever.

4 Ary ianao, ry Daniela, dia ahoroninao ny teny, ka asio tombo-kase ny taratasy mandra-pihavin’ ny andro farany; maro no hazoto mandinika, ka hitombo ny fahalalana.

But as for you, O Daniel, let the words be kept secret and the book rolled up and kept shut till the time of the end: numbers will be going out of the way and troubles will be increased.

5 Dia nijery aho Daniela, ka, indro, nisy roa hafa koa nitsangana ny anankiray teto amoron’ ny ony, ary ny anankiray kosa teroa an-dafiny.

Then I, Daniel, looking, saw two others, one at the edge of the river on this side and one at the edge of the river on that side.

6 Ary hoy ny anankiray tamin’ ilay lehilahy mitafy rongony fotsy, izay teo ambonin’ ny rano amin’ ny ony: Mandra-pahoviana vao ho tanteraka ny faran’ ireo fahagagana ireo?

And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was over the waters of the river, How long will it be to the end of these wonders?

7 Ary ilay lehilahy mitafy rongony fotsy, izay teo ambonin’ ny rano amin’ ny ony, dia nanandratra ny tànany ankavanana sy ny tànany ankavia ho amin’ ny lanitra ka reko nianiana tamin’ Izay velona mandrakizay izy fa ho fetr’ andro iray sy fetr’ andro roa ary antsasaky ny fetr’ andro; ary rehefa vita ny fanamontsamontsanana ny herin’ ny olo-masìna, dia ho tanteraka ireo rehetra ireo.

Then in my hearing the man clothed in linen, who was over the river, lifting up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, took an oath by him who is living for ever that it would be a time, times, and a half; and when the power of the crusher of the holy people comes to an end, all these things will be ended.

8 Ary nandre izany aho, nefa tsy nahafantatra; dia hoy izaho: Tompoko ô, hanao ahoana no hiafaran’ ireo zavatra ireo?

And the words came to my ears, but the sense of them was not clear to me: then I said, O my lord, what is the sense of these things?

9 Dia hoy izy: Andeha, ry Daniela, fa efa voahorona ny teny sady voaisy tombo-kase mandra-pihavin’ ny andro farany.

And he said, Go on your way, Daniel: for the words are secret and shut up till the time of the end;

10 Maro no hodiovina sy hofotsiana ary hozahan-toetra; fa ny ratsy fanahy kosa mbola hanao ratsy ihany, ary tsy hisy amin’ ny ratsy fanahy hahafantatra, fa ny hendry no hahafantatra.

Till a number are tested and make themselves clean; and the evil-doers will do evil; for not one of the evil-doers will have knowledge; but all will be made clear to those who are wise.

11 Ary hatramin’ ny andro hampitsaharana ny fanatitra isan’ andro sy hampidirana ny fahavetavetana mahatonga fandravana dia hisy andro sivifolo sy roan-jato amby arivo.

And from the time when the regular burned offering is taken away, and an unclean thing causing fear is put up, there will be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days.

12 Sambatra izay miandry sy mahatratra ny andro dimy amby telo-polo amby telon-jato sy arivo.

A blessing will be on the man who goes on waiting, and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days.

13 Fa mandehana ianao mandra-pihavin’ ny farany; fa hitsahatra ianao ka hitsangana ho ao amin’ ny anjaranao amin’ ny andro farany.

But you, go on your way and take your rest: for you will be in your place at the end of the days.
