دانيال 10
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، أُعْلِنَ وَحْيٌ لِدَانِيَالَ الْمَدْعُو بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ، وَالْوَحْيُ دَائِماً حَقٌّ. وَبَعْدَ مُكَابَدَةٍ مُجْهِدَةٍ، أَدْرَكَ فَحْوَى الْوَحْيِ وَفَهِمَ مَعْنَى الرُّؤْيَا. | ١ 1 |
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنَا دَانِيَالَ قَضَيْتُ ثَلاثَةَ أَسَابِيعَ فِي النَّوْحِ، | ٢ 2 |
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.
| لَمْ آكُلْ فِيهَا طَعَاماً شَهِيًّا، وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَمِي لَحْمٌ أَوْ خَمْرٌ، وَلَمْ أَتَطَيَّبْ بِدُهْنٍ. | ٣ 3 |
I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ، بَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ إِلَى جِوَارِ نَهْرِ دِجْلَةَ الْكَبِيرِ، | ٤ 4 |
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,
| تَطَلَّعْتُ حَوْلِي فَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مُرْتَدٍ كَتَّاناً، وَحَقَوَاهُ مُتَحَزِّمَانِ بِنِطَاقٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، | ٥ 5 |
I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.
| وَجِسْمُهُ كَالزَّبَرْجَدِ، وَوَجْهُهُ يَتَأَلَّقُ كَالْبَرْقِ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَتَوَهَّجَانِ كَمِصْبَاحَيْ نَارٍ، وَذِرَاعَاهُ وَرِجْلاهُ لامِعَةٌ كَالنُّحَاسِ الْمَصْقُولِ، وَأَصْدَاءُ كَلِمَاتِهِ كَجَلَبَةِ جُمْهُورٍ. | ٦ 6 |
His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.
| كُنْتُ وَحْدِي أَنَا دَانِيَالَ الَّذِي شَاهَدْتُ الرُّؤْيَا، أَمَّا الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعِي فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئاً. إِنَّمَا هَيْمَنَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ رِعْدَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، فَهَرَبُوا مُخْتَبِئِينَ. | ٧ 7 |
Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.
| وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي أَشْهَدُ الرُّوْيَا الْعَظِيمَةَ، وَقَدْ تَلاشَتْ مِنِّي الْقُوَّةُ، وَتَحَوَّلَتْ نَضَارَتِي إِلَى ذُبُولٍ، وَفَقَدْتُ قُدْرَتِي. | ٨ 8 |
So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
| وَمَا إِنْ سَمِعْتُ أَصْدَاءَ كَلِمَاتِهِ حَتَّى سَقَطْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ يَغْشَانِي سُبَاتٌ عَمِيقٌ. | ٩ 9 |
I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
| وَإذَا بِيَدٍ لَمَسَتْنِي وَأَقَامَتْنِي، وَأَنَا أَرْتَجِفُ عَلَى يَدَيَّ وَرُكْبَتَيَّ | ١٠ 10 |
Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
| وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا دَانِيَالُ، أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ الْمَحْبُوبُ، افْهَمِ الْكَلامَ الَّذِي أُخَاطِبُكَ بِهِ، وَقِفْ عَلَى رِجْلَيْكَ لأَنَّنِي قَدْ أُرْسِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ». وَعِنْدَمَا قَالَ لِي هَذَا الْكَلامَ نَهَضْتُ مُرْتَعِداً. | ١١ 11 |
He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up trembling.
| فَقَالَ لِي: «لا تَخَفْ يَا دَانِيَالُ، فَمُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي عَزَمْتَ فِيهِ عَلَى الْفَهْمِ، وَتَذَلَّلْتَ أَمَامَ إِلَهِكَ، سُمِعَتْ تَضَرُّعَاتُكَ، وَهَا أَنَا جِئْتُ تَلْبِيَةً لَهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ رَئِيسَ مَمْلَكَةِ فَارِسَ قَاوَمَنِي وَاحِداً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْماً. فَأَقْبَلَ مِيخَائِيلُ، أَحَدُ كِبَارِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ لِمَعُونَتِي، بَعْدَ أَنْ حُجِزْتُ هُنَاكَ عِنْدَ مُلُوكِ فَارِسَ. | ١٣ 13 |
However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
| وَقَدْ جِئْتُ الآنَ لأُطْلِعَكَ عَلَى مَا يُصِيبُ شَعْبَكَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الأَخِيرَةِ، لأَنَّ الرُّوْيَا تَخْتَصُّ بِالأَيَّامِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ». | ١٤ 14 |
Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
| فَلَمَّا خَاطَبَنِي بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ، أَطْرَقْتُ بِوَجْهِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَصَمَتُّ، | ١٥ 15 |
While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
| وَإذَا بِشِبْهِ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ لَمَسَ شَفَتَيَّ، فَفَتَحْتُ فَمِي وَقُلْتُ لِلْمَاثِلِ أَمَامِي: «يَا سَيِّدِي، قَدْ غَلَبَنِي الأَلَمُ بِسَبَبِ الرُّؤْيَا، فَمَا امْتَلَكْتُ قُوَّةً، | ١٦ 16 |
And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength.
| فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيعُ عَبْدُ سَيِّدِي هَذَا أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ مَعَ سَيِّدِي، وَقَدْ نَضَبَتْ مِنِّي الْقُوَّةُ، وَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِيَّ نَسَمَةٌ؟» | ١٧ 17 |
How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any breath left in me.”
| فَعَادَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي شِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ وَلَمَسَنِي وَشَدَّدَنِي، | ١٨ 18 |
Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
| وَقَالَ: «لا تَخَفْ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ الْمَحْبُوبُ؛ سَلامٌ لَكَ. تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ». وَحَالَمَا كَلَّمَنِي دَبَّتْ فِيَّ الْقُوَّةُ وَقُلْتُ: «لِيَتَكَلَّمْ سَيِّدِي لأَنَّكَ شَدَّدْتَنِي». | ١٩ 19 |
“Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
| فَسَأَلَنِي: «هَلْ أَدْرَكْتَ لِمَاذَا جِئْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَالآنَ هَا أَنَا أَعُودُ لأُحَارِبَ رَئِيسَ فَارِسَ، وَمَا إِنْ أَنْتَهِي مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُقْبِلَ رَئِيسُ الْيُونَانِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
“Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
| وَلَكِنِّي أُطْلِعُكَ عَلَى مَا نُصَّ عَلَيْهِ فِي كِتَابِ الْحَقِّ، وَلا أَحَدٌ يُؤَازِرُنِي ضِدَّ هَؤُلاءِ سِوَى حَارِسِ شَعْبِكُمُ الْمَلاكِ مِيخَائِيلَ». | ٢١ 21 |
But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.
