1 A , i taua wa ka whakatika a Mikaera, te rangatira nui e tu nei hei hoa mo nga tama a tou iwi; na he wa raruraru taua wa, kahore mai i mua i te wa i whai iwi ai a taea noatia taua wa nei; hei taua wa ka mawhiti tou iwi, te hunga katoa e kitea kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka.

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of distress, such as never was since there was a nation until that time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that is found written in the book.

2 N a he tokomaha o te hunga e moe ana i te puehu o te oneone e ara ake, ko etahi ki te ora tonu, ko etahi ki te whakama, ki te whakarihariha mutungakore.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt.

3 A ka tiaho te hunga whakaaro nui ano kei te tiaho o te kikorangi; me te hunga hoki nana i anga ai nga tangata tokomaha ki te tika, ka rite ratou ki nga whetu a ake ake.

And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars, for ever and ever.

4 K o koe ia, e Raniera, kopia nga kupu, hiritia ano te pukapuka a taea noatia te mutunga: he tokomaha e kopikopiko, ka nui haere ano te matauranga.

And thou, Daniel, close the words, and seal the book, till the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

5 K atahi ahau, a Raniera, ka titiro, na ko etahi atu tokorua e tu ana, ko tetahi i tenei taha o te parenga o te awa, ko tetahi i tera taha o te parenga o te awa.

And I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, the one on this side, on the bank of the river, and the other on that side, on the bank of the river.

6 N a ko te meatanga a tetahi ki te tangata i te kakahu rinena, ki tera i runga i nga wai o te awa, Ko ahea ra ano te mutunga o enei mea whakamiharo?

And he said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long the end of these wonders?

7 A i rongo ahau i ta te tangata i te kakahu rinena, i ta tera i runga i nga wai o te awa, i te aranga o tona matau, o tona maui whaka te rangi, a oatitia ana e ia ma tera e ora tonu ana ake ake, kia taka ra ano tetahi wa, nga wa, me te hawhe; a ki a oti ta ratou tukituki i te kaha o te iwi tapu, katahi ka oti enei katoa.

And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river; and he held up his right hand and his left hand unto the heavens, and swore by him that liveth for ever that it is for a time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.

8 A ka rongo ahau, engari kihai i matau; katahi ahau ka mea, E toku Ariki, he aha ra te mutunga o enei mea?

And I heard, but I understood not. And I said, My lord, what shall be the end of these things?

9 K atahi tera ka ki mai, Haere, e Raniera, kua oti hoki nga kupu te kokopi atu, hiri rawa a taea noatia te wa o te mutunga.

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for these words are closed and sealed till the time of the end.

10 H e tokomaha e mea i a ratou kia pokekore, kia ma, kia parakore; engari ko te hunga kino ka mahi i te kino, a e kore tetahi o te hunga kino e matau; ko te hunga whai whakaaro ia ka matau.

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

11 N a, mai o te wa e whakakahoretia ai te patunga tapu tuturu, e tu ai te mea whakarihariha, te mea whakangaro, kotahi mano e rua rau e iwa tekau nga ra.

And from the time that the continual is taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, a thousand, two hundred, and ninety days.

12 K a hari te tangata e tatari ana, a ka tutuki ki nga ra kotahi mano e toru rau e toru tekau ma rima.

Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days!

13 N a haere kia taea ra ano te mutunga; ka okioki hoki koe, a ka tu ki tou wahi i te mutunga o nga ra.

But do thou go thy way until the end; and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
