12 În vremea aceea se va scula marele voievod Mihail(A), ocrotitorul copiilor poporului tău; căci aceasta va fi o vreme de strâmtorare(B) cum n-a mai fost de când sunt neamurile şi până la vremea aceasta. Dar, în vremea aceea, poporul tău(C) va fi mântuit, şi anume oricine va fi găsit scris(D) în carte. Mulţi din cei ce dorm în ţărâna pământului se vor scula: unii pentru viaţa veşnică(E) şi alţii pentru ocară(F) şi ruşine veşnică. Cei înţelepţi(G) vor străluci(H) ca strălucirea cerului şi cei(I) ce vor învăţa pe mulţi să umble în neprihănire vor străluci ca stelele(J) în veac şi în veci de veci. Tu(K) însă, Daniele, ţine ascunse(L) aceste cuvinte şi pecetluieşte cartea până la vremea sfârşitului(M). Atunci, mulţi o vor citi şi cunoştinţa va creşte. Şi eu, Daniel, m-am uitat şi iată că alţi doi oameni stăteau în picioare, unul dincoace de râu şi altul dincolo de malul râului(N). Unul din ei a zis omului(O) aceluia îmbrăcat în haine de in, care stătea deasupra apelor râului: ‘Cât(P) va mai fi până la sfârşitul acestor minuni?’ Şi am auzit pe omul acela îmbrăcat în haine de in, care stătea deasupra apelor râului; el şi-a ridicat spre ceruri mâna dreaptă(Q) şi mâna stângă şi a jurat pe Cel ce trăieşte veşnic(R) că vor mai fi(S) o vreme, două vremuri şi o jumătate de vreme şi că toate aceste lucruri se vor sfârşi când puterea(T) poporului sfânt(U) va fi zdrobită de tot. Eu am auzit, dar n-am înţeles şi am zis: ‘Domnul meu, care va fi sfârşitul acestor lucruri?’ El a răspuns: ‘Du-te, Daniele! Căci cuvintele acestea vor fi ascunse şi pecetluite până(V) la vremea sfârşitului. 10 Mulţi(W) vor fi curăţiţi, albiţi şi lămuriţi; cei răi vor face răul(X) şi niciunul din cei răi nu va înţelege, dar cei pricepuţi(Y) vor înţelege. 11 De la vremea când(Z) va înceta jertfa necurmată şi de când se va aşeza urâciunea pustiitorului, vor mai fi o mie două sute nouăzeci de zile. 12 Ferice de cine va aştepta şi va ajunge până la o mie trei sute treizeci şi cinci de zile! 13 Iar tu du-te(AA) până va veni sfârşitul; tu te vei odihni(AB) şi te vei scula iarăşi(AC) odată în partea ta de moştenire, la sfârşitul zilelor’.”

The End Times

12 “At that time Michael,(A) the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress(B) such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book(C)—will be delivered.(D) Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake:(E) some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.(F) Those who are wise[a](G) will shine(H) like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness,(I) like the stars for ever and ever.(J) But you, Daniel, roll up and seal(K) the words of the scroll until the time of the end.(L) Many will go here and there(M) to increase knowledge.”

Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.(N) One of them said to the man clothed in linen,(O) who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”(P)

The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand(Q) and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever,(R) saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time.[b](S) When the power of the holy people(T) has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.(U)

I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”

He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed(V) until the time of the end.(W) 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined,(X) but the wicked will continue to be wicked.(Y) None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.(Z)

11 “From the time that the daily sacrifice(AA) is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation(AB) is set up, there will be 1,290 days.(AC) 12 Blessed is the one who waits(AD) for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.(AE)

13 “As for you, go your way till the end.(AF) You will rest,(AG) and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.(AH)

Prophecy of the End Time

12 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
(A)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 your people (B)shall be delivered,
Every one who is found (C)written in the book.
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
(D)Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame (E)and everlasting [a]contempt.
Those who are wise shall (F)shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
(G)And those who turn many to righteousness
(H)Like the stars forever and ever.

“But you, Daniel, (I)shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall (J)run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that (K)riverbank. And one said to the man clothed in (L)linen, who was above the waters of the river, (M)“How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?

Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he (N)held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him (O)who lives forever, (P)that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; (Q)and when the power of (R)the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?

And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 (S)Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, (T)but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but (U)the wise shall understand.

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

13 “But you, go your way till the end; (V)for you shall rest, (W)and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
