Part Four: The Dead Will Rise to Life
1 Michael, the chief of the angels, is the protector of your people, and he will come at a time of terrible suffering, the worst in all of history. And your people who have their names written in The Book will be protected. 2 Many of those who lie dead in the ground will rise from death. Some of them will be given eternal life, and others will receive nothing but eternal shame and disgrace. 3 Everyone who has been wise will shine as bright as the sky above, and everyone who has led others to please God will shine forever like the stars.
4 Daniel, I now command you to keep the message of this book secret until the end of time, even though many people will go everywhere, searching for the knowledge to be found in it.
The End of Time
5 Daniel wrote:
I looked around and saw two other people—one on this side of the river and one on the other side. 6 The angel who had spoken to me was dressed in linen and was standing upstream from them. So one of the two beside the river asked him, “How long before these amazing things happen?”
7 The angel then raised both hands toward heaven and said, “In the name of the God who lives forever, I solemnly promise that it will be a time, two times, and half a time. Everything will be over, when the suffering of God's holy people comes to an end.”
8 I heard what the angel said, but I didn't understand. So I asked, “Sir, how will it all end?”
The angel in my vision then replied:
9 Daniel, go about your business, because the meaning of this message will remain secret until the end of time. 10 Many people will have their hearts and lives made pure and clean, but those who are evil will keep on being evil and never understand. Only the wise will understand. 11 There will be 1,290 days from the time that the daily sacrifices are stopped, until someone sets up the “Horrible Thing” that causes destruction. 12 God will bless everyone who patiently waits until 1,335 days have gone by.
13 So, Daniel, be faithful until the end! You will rest, and at the end of time, you will rise from death to receive your reward.
Mirušo augšāmcelšanās
1 Tajā laikā celsies
Mihaēls, lielais varenais,
kurš sargā tavus ļaudis.
Tad nāks bēdu laiks –
tā nebūs bijis,
kopš tautas radušās
un līdz pat šim laikam,
bet tanī laikā
tavi ļaudis paglābsies –
visi, kas ierakstīti grāmatā!
2 Daudzi, kas atdusas zemes pīšļos,
celsies –
citi mūžīgai dzīvei,
citi mūžīgam kaunam un negodam.
3 Tad gudrie mirdzēs
kā spožais debesjums,
tie, kas pie taisnības veduši daudzus, –
kā zvaigznes mūžīgi mūžam.
Laika beigas
4 Bet tu, Daniēl, apslēp vārdus un aizzīmogo grāmatu līdz laika beigām. Tad daudzi skraidīs šurpu turpu, bet zināšana ies plašumā.”
5 Es, Daniēls, paskatījos, un redzi – tur stāv vēl divi citi, viens upei vienā krastā, otrs – otrā. 6 Viens teica linā tērptajam, kas stāv virs upes ūdeņiem: “Kad šīs brīnumainās lietas piepildīsies?” 7 Es dzirdēju, ka linā tērptais vīrs, kas virs upes ūdeņiem, pacēlis labo un kreiso roku pret debesīm, zvērēja pie tā, kas dzīvs mūžam: “Tas būs pēc laika, diviem laikiem un puslaika – kad svētās tautas spēks būs pilnīgi sagrauts, tad tas viss piepildīsies!” 8 Es to dzirdēju, bet nesapratu un teicu: “Mans kungs, kā tas viss beigsies?”
9 Viņš sacīja: “Vari iet, Daniēl, jo apslēpti un aizzīmogoti ir šie vārdi līdz laika beigām! 10 Daudzi šķīstīsies, darīs sevi baltus un tiks kausēti, bet ļaundari turpinās darīt ļaunu. Neviens ļaundaris nesapratīs, bet gudrie sapratīs. 11 No tā laika, kad tiks atcelts dienišķais upuris un notiks šausmīgas preteklības, paies tūkstoš divi simti deviņdesmit dienas. 12 Svētīts, kas gaida un sagaida tūkstoš trīs simti trīsdesmit piecas dienas, 13 bet tu ej līdz galam! Tu atdusēsies un celsies savai tiesai laika beigās.””
