Daniel 12

1 “Saa ɛberɛ no, Mikael, ɔhene babarima titire a ɔbɔ wo nkurɔfoɔ ho ban no bɛsɔre. Ahohia ɛberɛ bi bɛba a, ɛfiri aman no ahyɛaseɛ bɛsi saa da no, biribiara saa nsiiɛ da. Nanso saa ɛberɛ no, wo nkurɔfoɔ, obiara a wɔbɛhunu sɛ wɔatwerɛ ne din wɔ nwoma no mu no, wɔbɛgye no nkwa.

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 Nnipadɔm a wɔadeda fam wɔ dɔteɛ mu no bɛnyane: ebinom bɛkɔ daa nkwa mu, na ebinom nso akɔ aniwuo ne daa ahohora mu.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence.

3 Wɔn a wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ no bɛhyerɛn te sɛ ɔsoro hyerɛn, na wɔn a wɔdanee afoforɔ kɔɔ tenenee mu no bɛhyerɛn sɛ nsoromma daapem.

And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 Nanso, wo Daniel, bobɔ na sɔ nsɛm a ɛwɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ no ano, kɔsi awieeɛ ɛberɛ no. Bebree bɛkyinkyini akɔpɛ nimdeɛ.”

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 Afei, me Daniel mehwɛ hunuu nnipa baanu bi wɔ mʼanim; ɔbaako gyina asubɔnten no konkɔn so, na ɔbaako nso gyina konkɔn a ɛhwɛ baako no anim no so.

Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the bank of the river on this side, and the other on the bank of the river on that side.

6 Wɔn mu baako bisaa ɔbarima a ɔfira nwera no a ɔgyina asuo no so no sɛ, “Ɛbɛdi nna ahe ansa na anwanwadeɛ yi aba mu?”

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 the wonders?'

7 Ɔbarima no a ɔfira nwera na ɔwɔ nsuo no so no maa ne nsa nifa ne benkum so kyerɛɛ soro, na metee sɛ ɔde deɛ ɔte hɔ daa no kaa ntam sɛ, “Ɛbɛkɔ so saa ara akɔsi ɛberɛ bi, mmerɛ bi ne ɛberɛ sini bi. Sɛ nnipa kronkron no tumi sɛeɛ no ba awieeɛ koraa a, wɔbɛwie saa nneɛma yi nyinaa.”

And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore 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 Meteeɛ, nanso mante aseɛ. Enti, mebisaa sɛ, “Me Wura ɛdeɛn na ɛbɛfiri yeinom nyinaa mu aba?”

And I heard, but I understood not; then said I: 'O my Lord, what shall be the latter end of these things?'

9 Na ɔbuaa sɛ, “Daniel kɔ, ɛfiri sɛ wɔabobɔ nsɛm no asɔ ano de akɔsi awieeɛ mmerɛ no.

And he said: 'Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 Wɔbɛhohoro bebree ho a efi ne nkekaeɛ biara nni wɔn ho, nanso atirimuɔdenfoɔ bɛkɔ so ayɛ atirimuɔden; wɔn mu biara rente aseɛ, nanso anyansafoɔ deɛ, wɔbɛte aseɛ.

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 “Ɛfiri da a wɔbɛbra daa afɔrebɔ na wɔde akyiwadeɛ a ɔsɛeɛ nam ne so bɛba abɛsi hɔ no bɛyɛ nnafua apem ahanu aduɔkron.

And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the detestable thing that causes appalment set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Nhyira ne deɛ ɔtwɛn kɔsi nnafua apem ahasa aduasa enum awieeɛ no.

Happy is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

13 “Wo Daniel deɛ, tintim kɔduru awieeɛ. Wobɛhome, na nna no awieeɛ no, wobɛsɔre na woakɔgye wo kyɛfa a ɛwɔ agyapadeɛ no mu.”

But go thou thy way till the end be; and thou shalt rest, and shalt stand up to thy lot, at the end of the days.'
