Danieli 12
1 “Katika wakati huo Mikaeli, mtawala mkuu ambaye huwalinda watu wako, atainuka. Kutakuwako wakati wa taabu ambao haujatokea tangu mwanzo wa mataifa hadi wakati huo. Lakini wakati huo, watu wako, kila mmoja ambaye jina lake litakutwa limeandikwa kwenye kitabu, ataokolewa.
And at that time shall Michael stand vp, ye great prince, which standeth for ye children of thy people, and there shall be a time of trouble, such as neuer was since there began to be a nation vnto that same time: and at that time thy people shall be deliuered, euery one that shall be foud written in ye boke.
2 Wengi ambao wamelala kwenye mavumbi wataamka, baadhi yao kwa uzima wa milele, wengine kwa aibu na kudharauliwa milele.
And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to euerlasting life, and some to shame and perpetuall contempt.
3 Wale wenye hekima watangʼaa kama mwanga wa mbingu, nao wale ambao huwaongoza wengi kutenda haki, watangʼaa kama nyota milele na milele.
And they that be wise, shall shine, as ye brightnes of the firmament: and they that turne many to righteousnes, shall shine as the starres, for euer and euer.
4 Lakini wewe Danieli, yafunge na kuyatia muhuri maneno ya kitabu hiki mpaka wakati wa mwisho. Wengi watakwenda huku na huko, na maarifa yataongezeka.”
But thou, O Daniel, shut vp the words, and seale the boke til the end of the time: many shall run to and from, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Ndipo mimi Danieli nikaangalia, nako mbele yangu walisimama wengine wawili, mmoja katika ukingo huu wa mto, na mwingine ukingo wa pili wa mto.
Then I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, ye one on this side of ye brinke of ye riuer, and the other on that side of ye brinke of the riuer.
6 Mmoja wao akasema na yule mtu aliyevaa nguo za kitani, aliyekuwa juu ya maji ya mto, “Je, itachukua muda gani kabla mambo haya ya kushangaza hayajatimizwa?”
And one saide vnto the man clothed in linen, which was vpon ye waters of the riuer, When shalbe the ende of these wonders?
7 Kisha mtu yule aliyevaa nguo za kitani, aliyekuwa juu ya maji ya mto, akainua mkono wake wa kuume na mkono wake wa kushoto kuelekea mbinguni, nami nikamsikia akiapa kwa jina lake yeye aishiye milele, akisema, “Itakuwa wakati, nyakati mbili, na nusu wakati. Nguvu za watu watakatifu zitakapokuwa zimevunjwa kabisa, ndipo mambo haya yote yatakapotimizwa.”
And I heard ye man clothed in line which was vpon the waters of the riuer, when he helde vp his right hand, and his left hand vnto heauen, and sware by him that liueth for euer, that it shall tarie for a time, two times and an halfe: and when he shall haue accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 Nilisikia, lakini sikuelewa. Kwa hiyo nikauliza, “Bwana wangu, matokeo ya haya yote yatakuwa nini?”
The I heard it, but I vnderstood it not: the said I, O my Lord, what shalbe ye end of these things?
9 Akajibu, “Danieli, enenda zako, kwa sababu maneno haya yamefungwa na kutiwa muhuri mpaka wakati wa mwisho.
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for ye words are closed vp, and sealed, till the ende of the time.
10 Wengi watatakaswa, na kuondolewa mawaa na kufanywa safi, lakini waovu wataendelea kuwa waovu. Hakuna mmoja wa waovu atakayefahamu, lakini wale wenye hekima watafahamu.
Many shalbe purified, made white, and tried: but the wicked shall doe wickedly, and none of the wicked shall haue vnderstanding: but the wise shall vnderstand.
11 “Tangu wakati ule wa kukomeshwa dhabihu ya kila siku na kusimamishwa kwa chukizo la uharibifu, kutakuwako siku 1,290.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shalbe take away and the abominable desolatio set vp, there shalbe a thousand, two hundreth and ninetie daies.
12 Amebarikiwa mtu yule atakayevumilia hadi kufikia mwisho wa hizo siku 1,335.
Blessed is he that waiteth and commeth to the thousand, three hundreth and fiue and thirtie daies.
13 “Lakini wewe, enenda zako mpaka mwisho. Utapumzika, nawe ndipo mwisho wa hizo siku utafufuka ili kuupokea urithi uliowekewa.”
But go thou thy way til the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand vp in thy lot, at the end of ye daies.
