1 “ 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.

¶ And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who is for the sons of thy people, and it shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there were people until now, but in that time thy people shall escape, all those that are found written in the book.

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

And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth shall be awakened, some for eternal life, and some for shame and everlasting confusion.

3 T hose 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.

And those that understand shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those that teach righteousness to the multitude as the stars in perpetual eternity.

4 B ut 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.”

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end: many shall pass by, and knowledge shall be multiplied.

5 T hen 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.

¶ Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, another two who stood, one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

6 A nd 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?”

And one said to the Man clothed in linens, who was upon the waters of the river, When shall be the end of these wonders?

7 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.

And I heard the Man clothed in linens, who was upon the waters of the river, who raised his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by the living one in the ages that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when the scattering of the power of the holy people shall be finished, all these things shall be fulfilled.

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

And I heard, but I did not understand; then I said, O my Lord, what is the fulfillment of these things?

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

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for these words are closed up and sealed until the time of the fulfillment.

10 M any 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.

Many shall be purified and made white and purged, but the wicked shall get worse; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

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

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

12 H ow blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1, 335 days!

Blessed is he that waits and comes unto one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

13 B ut 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.”

And thou shall go to the end and shalt rest, and thou shalt raise up in thy lot at the end of the days.
