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. 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.
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.””
