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.

“Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

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.

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and 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.

Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever 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.

But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”

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.

Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that 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 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 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.

I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.

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

As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these events ?”

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.

He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.

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 will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will 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.

From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1, 290 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.

How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1, 335 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 as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age.”
