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 the great angel Michael, who watches over your people, will rise up. And there will be a time of trouble, the worst since there was a nation. But at that time, every one whose name is written in the Book will be taken out of the trouble.

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

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will wake up. Some will have life that lasts forever, but others will have shame and will suffer much forever.

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

Those who are wise will shine like the bright heavens. And those who lead many to do what is right and good will shine 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 as for you, Daniel, keep these words hidden and lock up the Book until the end of time. Many will travel here and there and knowledge will be more and more.”

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

Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others. One was standing on this side of the river, and the other was standing on that side.

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 dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”

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.»

The man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven. And I heard him promise by Him Who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and a half a time (three and a half years). As soon as the power of the holy people is broken, all these things will be completed.

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

I heard, but I did not understand. So I said, “My lord, how will it all end?”

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

And he said, “Go your way, Daniel. For these words are hidden and locked up until the end of time.

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

Many will be made pure and made white and tried, but the sinners will be very sinful. None of the sinful will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

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

From the time the burnt gifts are stopped and the very sinful manmade god is set up, there will be 1, 290 days.

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

How happy is he who waits and comes to the end of the 1, 335 days!

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

But go your way until the end. Then you will have rest, and will rise again to take your place at the end of time.”
