Nthawi Yotsiriza
1“Pa nthawi imeneyo Mikayeli, mngelo wamkulu amene amateteza anthu a mtundu wako, adzabwera. Imeneyi idzakhala nthawi ya mavuto aakulu omwe sanaonekepo kuyambira pachiyambi cha mitundu ya anthu mpaka nthawi ikudzayo. Komatu pa nthawiyi anthu a mtundu wako, aliyense amene dzina lake lidzapezeke lolembedwa mʼbuku adzapulumutsidwa. 2Ambiri mwa amene akugona mʼnthaka adzadzuka: ena adzapita ku moyo wosatha, ena ku malo amanyazi ndi chilango chosatha. 3Amene ali anzeru mʼnjira ya chilungamo adzawala ngati kuwala kwa mlengalenga, ndipo amene alondolera ambiri ku njira yolungama, adzawala ngati nyenyezi ku nthawi zosatha. 4Koma iweyo, Danieli, sungitsa mawuwa, umate bukuli kufikira nthawi ya chimaliziro. Anthu ambiri adzapita uku ndi uko ndipo nzeru zidzanka zikukulirakulira.”
5Kenaka ine Danieli poyangʼana ndinaona anthu ena awiri atayima, wina tsidya lino la mtsinje, wina tsidya linalo. 6Mmodzi mwa awiriwo anafunsa munthu wovala chovala chosalala amene anali mʼmbali mwa madzi a mu mtsinje uja kuti, “Kodi padzapita nthawi yayitali bwanji kuti zodabwitsazi zidzakwaniritsidwe?”
7Munthu wovala chovala chosalala, amene anali mʼmbali mwa madzi a mu mtsinje uja, anakweza dzanja lake lamanja ndi lamanzere kumwamba, ndipo ndinamumva akulumbira mʼdzina la Wamoyo ku nthawi zonse uja kuti, “Zidzachitika patapita zaka zitatu ndi theka. Zinthu zonsezi zidzachitika akadzatha masautso amene agwera anthu olungama.”
8Ndinamva, koma sindinamvetsetse. Choncho ndinafunsa kuti, “Mbuye wanga, nanga matsiriziro a zonsezi adzakhala chiyani?”
9Ndipo anandiyankha kuti, “Pita iwe Danieli, pakuti mawuwa ndi osungidwa ndi omatidwa kufikira nthawi ya chimaliziro. 10Anthu ambiri adzayeretsedwa nakhala olungama wopanda chodetsa, koma oyipa adzakhala chiyipire. Palibe mmodzi wa anthu oyipa amene adzamvetsetsa koma okhawo amene ali anzeru adzamvetsetsa.
11“Kuyambira pamene nsembe ya tsiku ndi tsiku idzathetsedwa ndi kukhazikitsa kwa chonyansa chobweretsa chisokonezo chija, padzapita masiku 1,290. 12Wodala munthu amene adikirabe nadzafika pa mapeto a masiku 1,335.
13“Koma iweyo Danieli, pitiriza ndipo ulimbikire mpaka matsiriziro. Kenaka udzamwalira. Koma mʼmasiku otsiriza udzauka kuti ulandire gawo lako.”
The End Times
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. 2Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3Those who are wise12:3 Or who impart wisdom will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 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 before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. 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?”
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.12:7 Or a year, two years and half a year When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”
8I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”
9He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. 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“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 the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 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.”
