1 ` And at that time stand up doth Michael, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of thy people, and there hath been a time of distress, such as hath not been since there hath been a nation till that time, and at that time do thy people escape, every one who is found written in the book.

¶ 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 ` And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches -- to abhorrence age-during.

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 A nd those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for 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 A nd thou, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the book till the time of the end, many do go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.'

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 A nd I have looked -- I, Daniel -- and lo, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood, and one there at the edge of the flood,

¶ 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 he saith to the one clothed in linen, who upon the waters of the flood, `Till when 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 A nd I hear the one clothed in linen, who upon the waters of the flood, and he doth lift up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sweareth by Him who is living to the age, that, `After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, finished are all these.'

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 nd I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, `O my lord, what the latter end of these?'

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

9 A nd he saith, `Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed the things till the time of the end;

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

10 P urify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea, refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do 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 a nd from the time of the turning aside of the perpetual, and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety.

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 O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five.

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

13 A nd thou, go on to the end, then thou dost rest, and dost stand in thy lot at the end of the days.'

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