Daaniʼel 12
1 “Yeroo sanatti Miikaaʼel hangafni ergamootaa inni saba kee eegu ni kaʼa. Yeroon rakkinaa kan erga saboonni uumamanii jalqabee hamma gaafasiitti takkumaa taʼee hin beekne tokko ni dhufa. Yeroo sanatti garuu namoonni kee kanneen maqaan isaanii kitaabicha keessatti galmeeffamee jiru hundi ni baraaramu.
[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 Warri biyyoo lafaa jala ciciisan baayʼeen ni kaʼu: Gariin jireenya bara baraatiif, kaan immoo qaanii fi salphina bara baraatiif kaʼu.
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 Ogeeyyiin akkuma ifa samiiwwaniitti calaqqisu; warri nama baayʼee gara qajeelummaatti fidanis akkuma urjiitti bara baraa hamma bara baraatti ni ifu.
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 Yaa Daaniʼel, ati garuu hamma bara dhumaatti dubbii kitaaba maramaa cufiitii chaappessi. Namoonni baayʼeen beekumsa dabalachuuf asii fi achi fiigu.”
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 Ani Daaniʼel nan ilaale; kunoo fuula koo dura namoonni biraa lama dhadhaabatanii turan; tokko qarqara lagaa gamanaan, inni lammaffaan immoo qarqara lagaa gamasiin ture.
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 Isaan keessaa tokko namicha uffata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee bishaanota lagaatii ol jiruun, “Waantonni dinqii kunneen raawwatamuuf yeroo hammamtu hafa?” jedhe.
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 Namichi uffata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee bishaanota lagaatiin ol ture sun harka isaa mirgaatii fi bitaa ol qabe; anis isaa, “Wanni kun baraan, barootaaf walakkaa baraatiif taʼa. Yeroo humni namoota qulqulluu dhuma irratti cabutti wanni kun hundi fiixaan baʼa” jedhee isa bara baraan jiraatu sanaan kakatu nan dhagaʼe.
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 Anis nan dhagaʼe; garuu hin hubanne. Kanaafuu ani, “Yaa gooftaa ko, dhumni waan kana hundaa maal taʼa?” jedheen gaafadhe.
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 Innis akkana jedhee deebise. “Yaa Daaniʼel, sababii hamma bara dhumaatti dubbiin sun chaappaan chaappeffameef ati karaa kee qabadhu.
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 Namoonni baayʼeen ni qulqulleeffamu; warra hirʼina hin qabne ni taʼu; ni calalamus; hamoonni garuu ittuma fufanii hammaatu. Namoota hamoo keessaa tokko iyyuu hin hubatan; ogeeyyiin garuu ni hubatu.
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 “Gaafa aarsaan guyyaa guyyaatti dhiʼaatu hambifamee jalqabee hamma gaafa wanni jibbisiisaan badiisa fidu sun achi dhaabatuutti guyyoota 1,290 taʼa.
[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 Namni obsee dhuma guyyoota 1,335 qaqqabu eebbifamaa dha.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 “Ati garuu hamma dhumaatti karaa kee qabadhu. Ati ni boqotta; dhuma barootaattis dhaala kee kan siif qoodame fudhachuuf ni kaata.”
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].”
