Daniel 12

12 ¹For dat time, Michael, di great prince wey dey guard your people pikin dem, go rise up. Wahala wey no get match go dey, wey never happen since nations start, until dat time. For dat time your people—all wey dem write for di book—go get rescue. ²Plenty people wey dey sleep for di dust of di earth go wake up—some go life wey no dey end, some go shame and disgrace wey no dey end. ³Di wise people go shine like di brightness of di sky; those wey turn plenty people to correct-and-holy way go shine like stars, forever and ever. ⁴But you, Daniel, close dis words and seal di book until di end time. Plenty people go dey waka up and down, and knowledge go increase.

⁵Den I, Daniel, look and I see two other people wey stand, one for each side of di river bank. ⁶One of dem ask di man wey wear linen cloth, wey dey on top di river water, “How long e go take before dis wonders go end?”

⁷I hear di man wey wear linen, wey dey on top di river water, as e raise im right hand and im left hand towards heaven and swear by di One wey dey live forever: for a time, times, and half a time; wen di breaking of di holy people power go finish, all dis things go finish. ^a a v7 Di everlasting One wey dem swear di oath by am — di One wey dey live forever — na our Papa, di source and di end of all di ages.

⁸I hear, but I no understand, so I say, “My oga, wetin be di end of dis things?”

⁹E say, “Go, Daniel, because di words dem shut and seal until di time of di end. ¹⁰Plenty people go clean, go white, go refine; di wicked people go continue to dey do evil. None of di wicked people go understand, but di wise people go understand.

¹¹From di time wey dem remove di daily sacrifice and dem set up di abomination wey dey cause desolation: 1,290 days. ¹²Blessing dey for di person wey wait and reach di 1,335 days.

¹³But you, go till di end. You go rest, den you go stand up for your inheritance for di end of di days.”
