Daniel 12
Complete Jewish Bible
12 “When that time comes, Mikha’el, the great prince who champions your people, will stand up; and there will be a time of distress unparalleled between the time they became a nation and that moment. At that time, your people will be delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the book. 2 Many of those sleeping in the dust of the earth will awaken, some to everlasting life and some to everlasting shame and abhorrence. 3 But those who can discern will shine like the brightness of heaven’s dome, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Dani’el, keep these words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there as knowledge increases.”
5 Then I, Dani’el, looked; and I saw in front of me two others, one on this bank of the river and the other on its other bank. 6 One of them asked the man dressed in linen who was above the water of the river, “How long will these wonders last?” 7 The man dressed in linen who was above the water of the river raised his right and left hands toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times and a half, and that it will be when the the power of the holy people is no longer being shattered that all these things will end.
8 I heard this, but I couldn’t understand what it meant; so I asked, “Lord, what will be the outcome of all this?” 9 But he said, “Go your way, Dani’el; for these words are to remain secret and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will purify, cleanse and refine themselves; but the wicked will keep on acting wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand. But those with discernment will understand. 11 From the time the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12 How blessed will be anyone who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 But you, go your way until the end comes. Then you will rest and rise for your reward, at the end of days.”
Daniele 12
La Nuova Diodati
12 «In quel tempo sorgerà Mikael, il gran principe, il difensore dei figli del tuo popolo; e ci sarà un tempo di angoscia, come non c'era mai stato da quando esistono le nazioni fino a quel tempo. In quel tempo il tuo popolo sarà salvato, tutti quelli che saranno trovati scritti nel libro
2 Molti di coloro che dormono nella polvere della terra si risveglieranno, alcuni per vita eterna, altri per vergogna e infamia eterna.
3 Quelli che hanno sapienza risplenderanno come lo splendore del firmamento e quelli che avranno condotti molti alla giustizia, risplenderanno come le stelle per sempre.
4 Ma tu, Daniele, tieni nascoste queste parole e sigilla il libro fino al tempo della fine, molti andranno avanti e indietro e la conoscenza aumenterà».
5 Poi io, Daniele, guardai, ed ecco altri due in piedi, uno su questa sponda del fiume, e l'altro sull'altra sponda del fiume.
6 Uno di essi disse all'uomo vestito di lino, che stava sopra le acque del fiume: «Quando sarà la fine di queste meraviglie?».
7 Io udii allora l'uomo vestito di lino, che stava sopra le acque del fiume, il quale, alzata la mano destra e la mano sinistra al cielo giurò per colui che vive in eterno che ciò sarà per un tempo, per dei tempi e per la metà di un tempo; quando la forza del popolo santo sarà interamente infranta, tutte queste cose si compiranno.
8 Io udii, ma non compresi, perciò chiesi: «Mio signore, quale sarà la fine di queste cose?».
9 Egli rispose: «Va Daniele, perché queste parole sono nascoste e sigillate fino al tempo della fine.
10 Molti saranno purificati, imbiancati e affinati; ma gli empi agiranno empiamente e nessuno degli empi capirà, ma capiranno i savi.
11 Ora, dal tempo in cui sarà abolito il sacrifico continuo e sarà eretta l'abominazione che causa la desolazione, vi saranno milleduecentonovanta giorni.
12 Beato chi aspetta e giunge a milletrecentotrentacinque giorni.
13 Ma tu va' pure alla tua fine; ti riposerai e poi ti rialzerai per ricevere la tua parte di eredità alla fine dei giorni».
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.
