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 arise, the great prince that standeth up for the sons of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that time; and at that time shall thy people be delivered, every one that is 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 shame, to everlasting contempt.
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, Daniel, shut up these words, and seal this book even to the time of the end. Many shall run eagerly through it, and much knowledge shall be gained.
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.
And I Daniel looked, and behold, two others stood there, one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
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 of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these 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 upon the waters of the river, and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him that liveth forever, that in a time, times, and a half, even when the dispersion of a portion of the holy people should be at an end, all these things should be fulfilled.
8 Meteeɛ, nanso mante aseɛ. Enti, mebisaa sɛ, “Me Wura ɛdeɛn na ɛbɛfiri yeinom nyinaa mu aba?”
And I heard but understood not; and I said, My lord, what is 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 closed 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 be cleansed, and made white, and purified, and the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will 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 when the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination of the destroyer 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 a thousand three hundred and thirty-five 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 even to the end; for thou shalt rest, and rise up to thy lot at the end of the days.
