¹Nenguva iyo Mikaeri achasimuka, iye muchinda mukuru anochengeta vana vavanhu vako; ipapo nguva yenjodzi ichavapo, isina kumbovapo yakadaro kubva pakumuka kwamarudzi avanhu kusvikira nguva iyo; nenguva iyo vanhu vako vacharwirwa, ivo vose vakanyorwa mubhuku.

¹“At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your 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 your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.

²Zvino vazhinji vavavete muvhu rapasi vachamuka, vamwe vachamukira upenyu hwusingaperi, vamwe kukunyadziswa nokuzvidzwa kusingaperi.

²Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

³Vakachenjera vachapenya sokupenya kokudenga, uye vanodzorera vazhinji kukururama vachapenya senyeredzi nokusingaperi-peri.

³Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

⁴Asi iwe Dhanyeri, vanza mashoko, unamire bhuku rechisimbiso, kusvikira kunguva yokupedzisira; vazhinji vachamhanya pose-pose, nezivo ichawanda.

⁴But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased.”

⁵Ipapo ini Dhanyeri ndakatarira, ndikaona vamwe vaviri, mumwe pamahombekombe erwizi nechouno mhiri, mumwe pamahombekombe erwizi nechemhiri.

⁵Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on the river bank on this side, and the other on the river bank on that side.

⁶Kukanzi kumurume akanga akapfeka hanzu dzemicheka, akanga ari pamusoro pemvura yorwizi, Inguva yakadini kusvikira pakuguma kwezvishamiso izvi?

⁶One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

⁷Ndikanzwa murume akanga akapfeka hanzu dzemicheka, akanga ari pamusoro pemvura yorwizi, achisimudzira kudenga ruoko rwake rworudyi noruoko rwake rworuboshwe, achipika naiye anorarama nokusingaperi, kuti zvichaita nguva imwe, nedzimwe nguva, nehafu yenguva; kana vapedza kuputsanya simba ravanhu vatsvene, izvi zvose zvichapedziswa.

⁷I 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 a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

⁸Ndikanzwa, asi handina kuzvinzwisisa, ipapo ndikati, Aiwa ishe wangu, kupera kwezvinhu izvi ndokweiko?

⁸I heard, but I didn’t understand: then I said, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?

⁹Iye akati, Chienda hako, iwe Dhanyeri, nekuti mashoko awa akavanzwa nokunamirwa nechisimbiso kusvikira panguva yokupedzisira.

⁹He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

¹⁰Vazhinji vachazvinatsa nokuzvichenesa nokubviswa tsvina, asi vakaipa vachaita zvakaipa; hakuna pakati pavakaipa achanzwisisa, asi vakachenjera ndivo vachanzwisisa.

¹⁰Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.

¹¹Kubva panguva yokubviswa kwechipiriso chinopiswa nguva dzose, nokumutswa kwechifananidzo chinonyangadza chinoparadza, zvichaita mazuva ane chiuru chimwe namazana maviri namakumi mapfumbamwe.

¹¹From the time that the continual burnt offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.

¹²Akaropafadzwa anoramba achimirira kusvikira pamazuva ane chiuru chimwe namazana matatu namakumi matatu namashanu.

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

¹³Asi iwe chienda hako kusvikira kuguma kwavapo; nekuti iwe achazorora, ndokumukirazve mugove wako pakupera kwamazuva iwayo.

¹³But go you your way until the end; for you shall rest, and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.
