New International Version

1“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.

1"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found written in the book--will be delivered.

2And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

2Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

3Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.

3Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

4“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

4But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge."

5Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank.

5Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.

6And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”

6One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?"

7Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

7The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed."

8Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

8I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, "My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?"

9And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

9He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end.

10Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

10Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

11“And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

11"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

12Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

12Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.

13“But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

13"As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance."
