| 1And 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. | 1“At that time Michael, the archangel who stands guard over your nation, will arise. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into existence. But at that time every one of your people whose name is written in the book will be rescued. |
| 2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. | 2Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace. |
| 3And 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. | 3Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever. |
| 4But 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. | 4But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.” |
| 5Then 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. | 5Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing on opposite banks of the river. |
| 6And 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? | 6One of them asked the man dressed in linen, who was now standing above the river, “How long will it be until these shocking events are over?” |
| 7And 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. | 7The man dressed in linen, who was standing above the river, raised both his hands toward heaven and took a solemn oath by the One who lives forever, saying, “It will go on for a time, times, and half a time. When the shattering of the holy people has finally come to an end, all these things will have happened.” |
| 8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? | 8I heard what he said, but I did not understand what he meant. So I asked, “How will all this finally end, my lord?” |
| 9And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. | 9But he said, “Go now, Daniel, for what I have said is kept secret and sealed until the time of the end. |
| 10Many 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. | 10Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means. |
| 11And 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. | 11“From the time the daily sacrifice is stopped and the sacrilegious object that causes desecration is set up to be worshiped, there will be 1,290 days. |
| 12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. | 12And blessed are those who wait and remain until the end of the 1,335 days! |
| 13But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. | 13“As for you, go your way until the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you.” |
