The time of the end

EnglishLatinLatin and EnglishRead it in Latin, word by word

12:1But at that time Michael will rise up, the great prince, who stands for the sons of your people: and there will come a time such as there has not been from when nations began to be right up to that time. 12:1And at that time your people will be saved, everyone who shall be found written in the book. 12:2And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to eternal life, and others to reproach, that they may see it always. 12:3But those who have been learned will shine like the brightness of the firmament: and those who instruct many to justice, like the stars for everlasting eternities.

12:4But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the appointed time: very many will pass through, and knowledge will be manifold." 12:5And I, Daniel, looked, and behold, as it were two others were standing: one on this side, upon the bank of the river, and the other on that side, on the other bank of the river. 12:6And I said to the man who was clothed in linen, who was standing upon the waters of the river: "How long until the end of these wonders?" 12:7And I heard the man who was clothed in linen, who was standing upon the waters of the river, when he had raised his right hand and his left to heaven, and had sworn by him who lives for ever, that it would be for a time, and times, and half a time.

12:7"And when the scattering of the band of the holy people has been completed, all these things will be completed." 12:8And I heard, and did not understand. 12:8And I said: "My lord, what will be after these things?" 12:9And he said: "Go, Daniel, because the words have been shut up and sealed until the time fixed beforehand. 12:10Many will be chosen, and made white, and tried as by fire: and the impious will act impiously, nor will any of the impious understand: but the learned will understand. 12:11And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall have been taken away, and the abomination shall have been set up for desolation, there will be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12:12Blessed is he who waits, and reaches right up to a thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. 12:13But you, go to the appointed end: and you will rest, and you will stand in your lot at the end of the days."
