Daniel 12
Nueva Versión Internacional
La hora final
12 »”Entonces se levantará Miguel, el gran príncipe protector de tu pueblo. Habrá un período de angustia, como no lo ha habido jamás desde que las naciones existen. Pero tu pueblo será liberado; todos los que están inscritos en el libro. 2 Del polvo de la tierra se levantarán las multitudes de los que duermen, algunos de ellos para vida eterna; pero otros para quedar en la vergüenza y el desprecio eternos. 3 Los sabios resplandecerán con el brillo del cielo; los que guían a muchos en el camino de la justicia brillarán como las estrellas por toda la eternidad. 4 Pero tú, Daniel, guarda en secreto las palabras y sella el libro hasta el tiempo del fin, pues muchos andarán de un lado a otro tratando de aumentar su conocimiento”.
5 »Yo, Daniel, vi ante mí a dos hombres. Uno de ellos estaba a una orilla del río; el otro, en la orilla opuesta. 6 Uno de ellos dijo al hombre vestido de tela de lino, que estaba sobre las aguas del río: “¿Cuánto falta para que se cumplan estas cosas asombrosas?”.
7 »Y oí al hombre vestido de tela de lino, que estaba sobre las aguas del río, el cual levantó las manos al cielo y juró por el que vive para siempre: “Faltan un tiempo, tiempos y medio tiempo.[a] Todo esto se cumplirá, cuando termine la destrucción del pueblo santo”.
8 »Aunque escuché lo que dijo ese hombre, no pude entenderlo, así que pregunté: “Señor, ¿en qué va a parar todo esto?”. 9 Y él me respondió: “Sigue adelante, Daniel, que estas palabras se mantendrán secretas y selladas hasta el tiempo del fin. 10 Muchos serán purificados y perfeccionados, y quedarán limpios, pero los malvados seguirán en su maldad. Ninguno de ellos entenderá nada, pero los sabios lo entenderán todo. 11 A partir del momento en que se suspenda el sacrificio diario y se establezca la abominación que causa destrucción, transcurrirán mil doscientos noventa días. 12 ¡Dichoso el que espere a que hayan transcurrido mil trescientos treinta y cinco días! 13 Pero tú, persevera hasta el fin y descansa, que al final de los tiempos te levantarás para recibir tu recompensa”».

Daniel 12
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 12
1 “At that time there shall arise
    Michael, the great prince,
    the guardian of your people.
Then there will be a period
    that will be unsurpassed in distress
    since nations first came into existence.
At that time your own people will be spared,
    everyone whose names are found written in the book.
2 “Many of those shall awake
    who sleep in the dust of the earth.
Some shall gain everlasting life;
    others will earn shame and everlasting disgrace.
3 However, the wise will shine
    like the brightness of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness
    will be as bright as the stars forever and ever.
4 As for you, Daniel,
    keep these words secret,
    and seal the book until the time of the end.
Many shall fall away,
    and evils shall increase.”
Daniel’s Final Revelation.[a] 5 I, Daniel, then looked and saw two others standing, one on the bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. 6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upstream, “How long shall it be until these incredible events take place?”
7 The man robed in linen who was upstream raised both his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, “It will be for a year, for two years, and half a year, and then all these things will cease when the power of the destroyer of the holy people will come to an end.”
8 I heard what was said but I did not understand, so I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of all these things?” 9 He replied, “Go on your way, Daniel, for these words are to be kept secret and remain sealed until the end time.
10 “Many shall be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will persist in their evil ways. 11 From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the appalling abomination is set up, one thousand two hundred and ninety days will elapse.
12 “Blessed is the man who perseveres and attains one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. 13 But you, go on your way and rest. Then you will rise for your reward at the end of the ages.”
Footnotes
- Daniel 12:5 The author predicts that the trial will last three and a half years. This approximate time corresponds to the half week of the great prophecy (Dan 9:27); it will subsequently become the symbolic duration of all persecution. The image of the sealed book hints that they will not be understood until the events are fulfilled. In the Book of Revelation (Rev 6) the seals are opened by the Lamb, that is, the risen Jesus, in whom history gets its meaning. Destined to comfort martyrs, the final numbers (vv. 11-12) are possibly witnesses of a hope that is disappointed several times before it is finally fulfilled: the recompense is near.
Daniel 12
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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 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.
6 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?
7 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.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 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.
Daniel 12
New International Version
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) 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake:(E) some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.(F) 3 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) 4 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.”
5 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) 6 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)
7 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)”
8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”
9 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)”
