Danieli 12
1 Katika kipindi hicho, Mikaeli, jemedari mkuu ambaye huwalinda watu wako, atainuka. Kutakuwa na wakati wa mateso ambao haujawahi kutokea tangu mwanzo wa taifa lolote mpaka kipindi hicho. Katika muda huo watu wako wataokolewa, yeyote ambaye jina lake litapatikana katika kitabu.
“And at that time Michael stands up, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of your people, and there has been a time of distress, such as has not been since there has been a nation until that time, and at that time your people escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.
2 Na wengi wa wale waliolala katika mavumbi ya dunia watainuka. baadhi kwa uzima wa milele na baadhi kwa ajili ya fedheha na matwezo ya milele.
And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground awake, some to continuous life, and some to reproaches—to continuous abhorrence.
3 Wale wenye hekima watang'ara kama mng'ao wa anga la juu, na wale wenye kuwaelekeza wengine katika haki, watakuwa kama nyota milele na milele.
And those teaching shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars for all time and forever.”
4 Lakini wewe, Danieli, yafunge maneno haya; kihifadhi kitabu kikiwa kimetiwa chapa mpaka nyakati za mwisho. Watu wengi watakimbia huku na kule, na maarifa yataongezeka.
“And you, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the scroll until the time of the end, many go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.”
5 Kisha mimi, Danieli, nilitazama, na kulikuwa na malaika wengine wawili wamesimama. Mmoja alisimama katika upande huu wa ukingo wa mto, na mwingine alisimama katika ukingo wa upande mwingine wa mto.
“And I have looked—I, Daniel—and behold, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood and one there at the edge of the flood,
6 Mmoja wao alimwambia mtu aliyevaa nguo za kitani, yeye aliyekuwa juu ya mkondo wa mto, “Je itachukua muda gani mpaka mwisho wa matukio haya ya kushangaza?”
and he says to the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, Until when [is] the end of these wonders?
7 Nilimsikia mtu yule aliyevaa nguo za kitani, aliyekuwa juu katika mkondo wa mto, aliinua mkono wake wa kuume na mkono wake wa kushoto kuelekea mbinguni na kuapa kwa yeye aishiye milele kwamba itakuwa kwa wakati, nyakati, na nusu wakati. Na wakati nguvu za watu watakatifu zitakapokuwa zimeshaharibiwa, mambo haya yote yatakuwa yamemalizika.
And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, and he lifts up his right hand and his left to the heavens, and swears by Him who is living for all time, that, After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, all these are finished.
8 Nilisikia, lakini sikufahamu. Basi nikamwuliza, “Bwana wangu, mambo haya yote yatakuwa na matokeo gani?”
And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?
9 Alisema, “Nenda zako Danieli, kwa kuwa maneno yamefungwa na kutiwa chapa mpaka wakati wa mwisho.
And he says, Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things until the time of the end.
10 Watu wengi watakuwa wametakaswa, wameoshwa, na kusafishwa, lakini waovu wataenenda katika uovu.
Purify themselves, indeed, make themselves white, indeed, many are refined: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely understand;
11 Katika muda ule ambapo sadaka ya kawaida ya kuteketezwa itakapokuwa imeondolewa na chukizo la uharibifu liliosababisha ukiwa limesimamishwa, kutakuwa na siku zipatazo 1, 290.
and from the time of the turning aside of the continuous [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] one thousand, two hundred, and ninety days.
12 Ana heri mtu yule anayengojea mpaka mwisho wa siku 1, 335.
O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and comes to the one thousand, three hundred, thirty-five days.
13 Unapaswa uondoke uende njia yako hata mwisho, na kisha utapumzika. Utainuka katika sehemu uliyopewa, mwishoni mwa siku.”
And you, go on to the end, then you rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.”
