1 « فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَقِفُ الرَّئِيسُ العَظِيمُ مِيخائِيلُ المَسؤُولُ عَن خِدمَةِ شَعبِكَ، وَسَيَكُونُ هُناكَ وَقتُ ضِيقٍ لَمْ يَأتِ مِثلُهُ مُنذُ صارُوا أُمَّةً وَحَتَّى ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ. فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَنجُو كُلُّ شَعبِكَ الَّذِينَ أسماؤُهُمْ مَكتُوبَةٌ فِي الكِتابِ

“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.

2 و َكُلُّ الرّاقِدِينَ فِي تُرابِ الأرْضِ سَيَقُومُونَ، بَعضُهُمْ إلَى الحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ وَبَعضُهُمْ إلَى العارِ وَالِازدِراءِ الأبَدِيَّيْنِ.

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 و َالحُكَماءُ سَيُشرِقُونَ كَقُبَّةِ السَّماءِ اللّامِعَةِ، وَالَّذِينَ قادُوا كَثِيرِينَ إلَى البِرِّ سَيَصِيرُونَ كَالنُّجُومِ إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدِينَ.

Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.

4 « وَأمّا أنتَ يا دانِيالُ، فَأخْفِ هَذا الكَلامَ وَاختِمْهُ حَتَّى وَقتِ النِّهايَةِ. سَيَجُولُ أُناسٌ كَثِيرُونَ فِي طُولِ الأرْضِ وَعَرضِها، وَالمَعرِفَةُ تَزدادُ.»

“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.”

5 و َبَينَما كُنتُ أنظُرُ، وَقَفَ فَجأةً اثْنانِ آخَرانِ هُناكَ، واحِدٌ عَلَى كُلِّ ضِفَّةٍ.

Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank.

6 و َسَألَ أحَدُهُما الرَّجُلَ اللّابِسَ الكِتّانَ الَّذِي كانَ يَقِفُ فَوقَ المِياهِ وَسَطَ النَّهرِ: «مَتَى تَنتَهِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ البَغِيضَةُ؟»

And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be? ”

7 ف َرَفعَ الرَّجُلَ اللّابِسَ الكِتّانَ الَّذِي كانَ يَقِفُ فَوقَ مِياهِ النَّهرِ يَدَيهِ نَحوَ السَّماءِ، وَأقسَمَ بِاسْمِ الحَيِّ إلَى الأبَدِ وَقالَ: «سَيَكُونُ ذلِكَ لِثَلاثَةِ مَواسِمَ وَنِصفِ مَوسِمٍ. فَعِندَما تُكسَرُ قُوَّةُ الشَّعبِ المُقَدَّسِ، سَتَكتَمِلُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ كُلُّها.»

Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

8 ف َسَمِعْتُ، وَلَكِنَّنِي لَمْ أفهَمْ، فَقُلْتُ: «يا سَيِّدِي، ماذا سيَحدُثُ بَعدَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ؟»

Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things? ”

9 ف َقالَ: «اذهَبْ فِي سَبيلِكَ يا دانِيالُ، لأنَّ هَذِهِ الكَلِماتِ سَتَبقَى مَخفِيَّةً وَمَختُومَةً حَتَّى النِّهايَةِ.

And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 ك َثِيرُونَ سَيَتِمُّ تَطهِيرُهُمْ وَتَبيِيضُهُمْ وَتَنقِيَتُهُمْ، أمّا الأشرارُ فَسَيُدانُونَ. لَنْ يَفهَمَ أحَدٌ مِنَ الأشرارِ هَذِهِ الأُمورَ، وَأمّا العُقَلاءُ فَسَيَفهَمُونَ.

Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

11 « فَمِنْ وَقتِ إزالَةِ الذَّبِيحَةِ اليَومِيَّةِ وَحَتَّى إقامَةِ النَّجِسِ المُخَرِّبِ، سَيَكُونُ هُناكَ ألفٌ وَمِئَتانِ وَتِسعُونَ يَوماً.

“And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 ه َنِيئاً لِمَن يُثابِرُ وَيَصِلُ إلَى اليَومِ الألفِ وَالثَلاثِ مِئَةٍ وَخَمسٍ وَثَلاثِينَ.

Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

13 « وَأمّا أنتَ يا دانِيالُ، فَاذهَبْ وَعِشْ حَياتَكَ حَتَّى النِّهايَةِ. وَسَتَرقُدُ وَتَقُومُ فِي نِهايَةِ الأيّامِ لِتَأخُذَ نَصِيبَكَ.»

“But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
