Daniel 12

KJV

GNT

1 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.
1 The angel wearing linen clothes said, "At that time the great angel Michael, who guards your people, will appear. Then there will be a time of troubles, the worst since nations first came into existence. When that time comes, all the people of your nation whose names are written in God's book will be saved.
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.
2 Many of those who have already died will live again: some will enjoy eternal life, and some will suffer eternal disgrace.
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.
3 The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever."
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.
4 He said to me, "And now, Daniel, close the book and put a seal on it until the end of the world. Meanwhile, many people will waste their efforts trying to understand what is happening."
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.
5 Then I saw two men standing by a river, one on each bank.
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?
6 One of them asked the angel who was standing further upstream, "How long will it be until these amazing events come to an end?"
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.
7 The angel raised both hands toward the sky and made a solemn promise in the name of the Eternal God. I heard him say, "It will be three and a half years. When the persecution of God's people ends, all these things will have happened."
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
8 I heard what he said, but I did not understand it. So I asked, "But, sir, how will it all end?"
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
9 He answered, "You must go now, Daniel, because these words are to be kept secret and hidden until the end comes.
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.
10 Many people will be purified. Those who are wicked will not understand but will go on being wicked; only those who are wise will 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.
11 "From the time the daily sacrifices are stopped, that is, from the time of The Awful Horror, 1,290 days will pass.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
12 Happy are those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are over!
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.
13 "And you, Daniel, be faithful to the end. Then you will die, but you will rise to receive your reward at the end of time."
