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, will Michael, the great ruler who standeth for the sons of thy people, make a stand, and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, up to that time, —and, at that time, shall thy people, be delivered, every one 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 the sleepers in the dusty ground, shall awake, —these, [shall be] to age-abiding life, but, those, to reproach, and age-abiding 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 who make wise, shall shine like the shining of the expanse, —and, they who bring the many to righteousness, like the stars to times age-abiding and beyond.
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, close up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end, —many will run to and fro, and knowledge, shall abound.
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 lo! two others, standing, —one on this side of the bank of the river, and one 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 said to the man clothed with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be 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 with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age-abiding, —For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things.
8 Meteeɛ, nanso mante aseɛ. Enti, mebisaa sɛ, “Me Wura ɛdeɛn na ɛbɛfiri yeinom nyinaa mu aba?”
And, I, heard, but could not understand, —so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things?
9 Na ɔbuaa sɛ, “Daniel kɔ, ɛfiri sɛ wɔabobɔ nsɛm no asɔ ano de akɔsi awieeɛ mmerɛ no.
Then said he, Go thy way, Daniel; for closed up and sealed are the words, until 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, will purify themselves and be made white and be refined, but the lawless, will act lawlessly, and none of the lawless, shall understand, —but, they who make 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 of the taking away of the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and the placing of the horrid abomination that astoundeth, [shall be] one 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 attaineth to one 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, thou, go thy way to the end, —and thou shalt rest, and shalt rise to thy lot at the end of the days.
