1 [The person who looked like a human continued,] |At that time Michael, the great commander, will stand up on behalf of the descendants of your people. It will be a time of trouble unlike any that has existed from the time there have been nations until that time. But at that time your people, everyone written in the book, will be rescued. “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And 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, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress 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—will be delivered.
2 Many sleeping in the ground will wake up. Some will wake up to live forever, but others will wake up to be ashamed and disgraced forever. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness on the horizon. Those who lead many people to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever. And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
4 |But you, Daniel, keep these words secret, and seal the book until the end times. Many will travel everywhere, and knowledge will grow.| But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
5 When I, Daniel, looked up, I saw two men standing there. One man stood on one side of the river, and the other one stood on the other side. Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.
6 One of them asked the man dressed in linen clothes who was above the river, |How long will it be until these miracles are over?| And someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”
7 I heard the man dressed in linen clothes who was above the river. He raised his right hand and left hand to heaven and swore an oath by the one who lives forever. He said, |It will be for a time, times, and half of a time. When the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, then all these things will be finished.| And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”
8 I heard him, but I did not understand. So I asked him, |Sir, how will these things end?| I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”
9 He replied, |Go, Daniel. These words are to be kept secret and sealed until the end times. He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end.
10 Many will be purified, made white, and refined. But wicked people will do wicked things, and none of them will understand. Only wise people will understand. Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
11 From the time the daily burnt offering is taken away and the disgusting thing that causes destruction is set up, there will be 1,290 days. And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
12 Blessed are those who wait until they reach 1,335 days. Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
13 But go on until the end. You will rest, and you will rise for your inheritance at the end of time.| But go your way till the end. And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.” “As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.”
