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.
[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 Mnogi izmed teh, ki spijo v prahu zemlje, se bodo zbudili, nekateri za večno življenje, nekateri pa za sramoto in večno zaničevanje.
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 Tisti, ki so modri, bodo svetili kakor sijaj nebesnega svoda in tisti, ki mnoge obračajo k pravičnosti, [bodo] kakor zvezde na veke vekov.
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 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 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 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.
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 In eden je rekel možu, oblečenemu v lan, ki je bil na vodah reke: »Doklej bo to do konca teh čudežev?«
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 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.
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 Slišal sem, toda nisem razumel. Potem sem rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, kakšen bo konec teh stvari?«
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 Rekel je: »Pojdi svojo pot, Daniel, kajti besede so zaklenjene in zapečatene do časa konca.
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 Mnogi bodo očiščeni, pobeljeni in preizkušeni, toda zlobni bodo delali zlobno in nihče izmed zlobnih ne bo razumel, toda modri bodo razumeli.
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 Od časa, ko bo dnevno žrtvovanje odvzeto in postavljena ogabnost, ki dela opustošenje, bo tisoč dvesto devetdeset dni.
[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 Blagoslovljen je kdor čaka in prihaja k tisoč tristo petintridesetim dnem.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 Toda ti pojdi svojo pot, dokler ne bo konec, kajti počival boš in stal v svojem deležu ob koncu dni.«
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].”
