| 1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. | 1"'At that time, Michael will arise, the great prince who will stand up on behalf of your people, and a time of trouble will come like there has never been since nations began until that time. Also at that time, your people will be delivered—everyone who will have been written in the book. |

| 3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. | 3Those who manifest wisdom will shine like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who turn many to righteousness will shine like the stars for ever and ever. |
| 4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. | 4Now as for you, Daniel, roll up your scroll and seal your words until the time of the end. Many will rush around, while knowledge increases.'" |
| 5Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. | 5"Then while I, Daniel, continued watching, suddenly two others stood there, one on this side of the river bank and one on the other side. |
| 6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? | 6One asked the man dressed in linen clothes, who was standing above the waters of the river, 'How long until the fulfillment of the wonders?' |
| 7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. | 7"I heard the man dressed in linen clothes, who was standing above the waters of the river as he lifted his right and left hands to heaven and swore by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and a half. When the shattering of the power of the holy people has occurred, all these things will conclude." |
| 8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? | 8"I heard, but I didn't understand. So I asked, 'Sir, what happens next?' |
| 9And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. | 9"He answered, 'Go on your way, Daniel, because these matters are wrapped up and sealed until the time of the end. |
| 10Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. | 10Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, though the wicked will continue to act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand. Nevertheless, the insightful will understand. |
| 11And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. | 11There will be 1,290 days from the time the regular burnt offering is rescinded and the destructive desolation established. |
| 12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. | 12Blessed is the one who perseveres and attains to the 1,335 days. |
| 13But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. | 13Now as for you, keep on going until the end—you'll rest and then rise to receive your reward at the end of the age.'" |
