Daniel 12
World English Bible
12 “At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. At that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book. 2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the expanse. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many will run back and forth, and knowledge will be increased.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on the river bank on this side, and the other on the river bank on that side. 6 One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be to the end of these wonders?”
7 I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it will be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have finished breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.
8 I heard, but I didn’t understand. Then I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
11 “From the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
13 “But go your way until the end; for you will rest, and will stand in your inheritance at the end of the days.”
Daniel 12
New King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 “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.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that (K)riverbank. 6 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?”
7 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.
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”
9 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.”

The Time of the End
12 “At that time shall arise (A)Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And (B)there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, (C)everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of those who (D)sleep in (E)the dust of the earth shall (F)awake, (G)some to everlasting life, and (H)some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 (I)And those who are wise (J)shall shine like the brightness of the sky above;[a] and (K)those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, (L)shut up the words and (M)seal the book, until (N)the time of the end. (O)Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on (P)this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6 And someone said to (Q)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,[b] (R)“How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” 7 And I heard (S)the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; (T)he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and (U)swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a (V)time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of (W)the power of (X)the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. 8 I heard, (Y)but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9 He said, (Z)“Go your way, Daniel, (AA)for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 (AB)Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but (AC)the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, (AD)but those who are wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that (AE)the regular burnt offering is taken away and (AF)the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12 (AG)Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 (AH)But go your way till the end. (AI)And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at (AJ)the end of the days.”

Den sista tiden
12 (A) ”På den tiden ska Mikael träda fram, den store fursten som står som försvarare för dina landsmän. Det kommer en tid av nöd, som inte har haft sin like ända från den dag då folken blev till och fram till den tiden.
Men på den tiden ska ditt folk bli frälst, alla som är skrivna i boken[a]. 2 (B) De många[b] som sover i mullen ska vakna, några till evigt liv och andra till förakt och evig skam. 3 (C) De förståndiga ska då lysa som himlavalvets ljus, och de som har fört många till rättfärdighet som stjärnorna för alltid och för evigt.
4 (D) Men du, Daniel, ska gömma dessa ord och försegla bokrullen till den sista tiden. Många ska forska i den[c] och kunskapen ska bli stor.”
5 När jag, Daniel, såg upp, se, då stod det två andra där, en på flodens ena strand och en på den andra stranden. 6 (E) En av dem sade till mannen som stod klädd i linnekläder ovanför flodens vatten: ”Hur länge dröjer det innan slutet kommer med dessa märkliga ting[d]?” 7 (F) Jag lyssnade till mannen som stod klädd i linnekläder ovanför flodens vatten, och han lyfte sin högra och sin vänstra hand mot himlen och svor vid honom som lever för evigt: ”Efter en tid och tider och en halv tid, när det heliga folkets makt är krossad, då ska allt detta fullbordas.”
8 Jag hörde det men förstod inte, så jag frågade: ”Min herre, vad blir slutet på allt detta?” 9 Då sade han: ”Gå, Daniel, för dessa ord ska förbli gömda och förseglade till den sista tiden. 10 (G) Många ska bli renade och tvättade[e] och luttrade, men de ogudaktiga ska utöva sin ogudaktighet. Ingen ogudaktig ska förstå detta, men de förståndiga ska förstå det. 11 (H) Från den tid då det dagliga offret avskaffas och förödelsens styggelse ställs upp ska det gå 1 290 dagar. 12 Salig är den som håller ut och når fram till 1 335 dagar.
13 (I) Men gå du bort tills slutet kommer. Sedan du har vilat ska du uppstå och få din lott vid dagarnas slut.”
