終わりの時

12 その時、あなたの国を守る強力な御使いの君主、ミカエルが立ち上がり、あなたのために天で悪魔の軍勢と戦う。こうして、これまでのユダヤの歴史で経験したどの苦難よりも深刻な、苦しみの時がくる。だが、あなたの同胞のうち、いのちの書に名が記されている者は、みな耐え忍ぶことができる。 死んで葬られた者のうち、多くの者が生き返る。ある者は永遠のいのちへ、ある者は永遠の辱めへと。 賢い神の民は、太陽のように明るく輝く。多くの人を正しい道に導く者は、いつまでも星のようにきらめく。 ところで、ダニエルよ、この預言を人に知らせてはならない。終わりの時がくるまで、だれにも悟られないように、この預言のことばを封じておけ。人々は知識を増そうとあちこち行き巡るだろう。」

それから、私が見ていると、川の両岸に一人ずつ、人が立っていました。 その一人が、今は川の水の上に立っている、あの亜麻布の衣を着た人に尋ねました。「いつになったら、この恐ろしいことがすべて終わるのですか。」 その人は両手を天にあげ、永遠に生きておられる方を指して誓ってこう答えました。「神の民の勢力が打ち砕かれてから三年半が過ぎるまでは、終わりません。」 私はその人が言うことを聞いても、その意味を理解できませんでした。そこで、こう尋ねました。「恐れ入りますが、これはどんな結末になるのでしょうか。」 その人は言いました。「ダニエルよ、さあ行け。私が言ったことは、終わりの時がくるまで理解されない。 10 多くの者は、激しい試練や迫害によってきよめられる。しかし悪者は悪の中に生き続け、一人として悟る者がない。進んで学ぼうとする者だけが、その意味を知るようになる。 11 毎日のささげ物が取り除かれて、『恐るべきもの』が礼拝されるために据えられてから、千二百九十日ある。 12 なお忍耐して千三百三十五日に至る者は、なんと幸いなことか。 13 あなたは自分の人生を全うし、休息に入るがよい。あなたは生き返り、終わりの時に受けるべき分を完全に受けるようになる。」

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)

  2. Daniel 12:7 Or a year, two years and half a year

12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which 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.

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

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

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.

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

And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

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

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

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

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

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
