< Daniel 12 >
1 Ob tistem času bo vstal Mihael, veliki princ, ki stoji za otroke tvojega ljudstva in tam bo čas stiske, tak, kakršnega ni bilo, odkar je bil tam narod, celó do tega istega časa. In ob tistem času bo tvoje ljudstvo osvobojeno, vsak, kdor bo najden zapisan v knjigi.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 Mnogi izmed teh, ki spijo v prahu zemlje, se bodo zbudili, nekateri za večno življenje, nekateri pa za sramoto in večno zaničevanje.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Tisti, ki so modri, bodo svetili kakor sijaj nebesnega svoda in tisti, ki mnoge obračajo k pravičnosti, [bodo] kakor zvezde na veke vekov.
And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 Toda ti, oh Daniel, zakleni besede in zapečati knjigo, celó do časa konca. Mnogi bodo tekali sem ter tja in spoznanje se bo povečalo.«
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Potem sem jaz, Daniel, pogledal in glej tam sta stala druga dva, eden na tej strani rečnega brega, drugi pa na drugi strani rečnega brega.
Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side.
6 In eden je rekel možu, oblečenemu v lan, ki je bil na vodah reke: »Doklej bo to do konca teh čudežev?«
And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 Slišal sem moža, oblečenega v lan, ki je bil na vodah reke, ko je držal svojo desno roko in svojo levo roko k nebu in prisegel pri njem, ki živi na veke, da bo to za čas, [dva] časa in polovico, in ko bo dovršil, da razkropi moč svetega ljudstva, se bodo vse te stvari končale.
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 Slišal sem, toda nisem razumel. Potem sem rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, kakšen bo konec teh stvari?«
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?
9 Rekel je: »Pojdi svojo pot, Daniel, kajti besede so zaklenjene in zapečatene do časa konca.
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Mnogi bodo očiščeni, pobeljeni in preizkušeni, toda zlobni bodo delali zlobno in nihče izmed zlobnih ne bo razumel, toda modri bodo razumeli.
Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.
11 Od časa, ko bo dnevno žrtvovanje odvzeto in postavljena ogabnost, ki dela opustošenje, bo tisoč dvesto devetdeset dni.
And from the time that the continual [burnt-offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blagoslovljen je kdor čaka in prihaja k tisoč tristo petintridesetim dnem.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 Toda ti pojdi svojo pot, dokler ne bo konec, kajti počival boš in stal v svojem deležu ob koncu dni.«
But go thou thy way till the end be; for thou shalt rest, and shalt stand in thy lot, at the end of the days.
