Daniel 10
1 Treće godine Kira, kralja perzijskoga, Danielu, prozvanome Baltazar, bi objavljena riječ - riječ istinita: velik rat. On je nastojao razumjeti riječ, i razumijevanje bi mu dano u viđenju.
In the thridde yeer of the rewme of Sirus, kyng of Perseis, a word was schewid to Danyel, Balthasar bi name; and a trewe word, and greet strengthe, and he vndurstood the word; for whi vndurstondyng is nedeful in visioun.
2 U te dane ja, Daniel, žalovao sam tri sedmice:
In tho daies Y, Danyel, mourenyde bi the daies of thre woukis;
3 nisam jeo tečnih jela; meso ni vino nije ulazilo u moja usta i nisam se mazao uljem dok ne prođoše te tri sedmice.
Y eet not desirable breed, and fleisch, and wyn entride not into my mouth, but nethir Y was anoynted with oynement, til the daies of thre woukis weren fillid.
4 Dvadeset i četvrtoga dana prvog mjeseca bijah na obali velike rijeke Tigrisa;
Forsothe in the foure and twentithe dai of the firste monethe, Y was bisidis the greet flood, which is Tigris.
5 podigoh oči da vidim, i gle: Čovjek odjeven u lanene haljine, oko pasa mu pojas od zlata ofirskoga,
And Y reiside myn iyen, and Y siy, and lo! o man was clothid with lynun clothis, and hise reynes weren gird with schynynge gold;
6 tijelo mu poput krizolita, lice kao munja, oči kao baklje ognjene, ruke i noge poput mjedi uglađene, zvuk riječi njegovih kao žamor mnoštva.
and his bodi was as crisolitus, and his face was as the licnesse of leit, and hise iyen weren as a brennynge laumpe, and hise armes and tho thingis that weren bynethe til to the feet weren as the licnesse of bras beynge whijt, and the vois of hise wordis was as the vois of multitude.
7 Jedini ja, Daniel, gledah ovo viđenje, ljudi koji bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe ga, ali ih spopade silan strah te pobjegoše da se sakriju.
Forsothe Y, Danyel, aloone siy the visioun; certis the men that weren with me, sien not, but ful greet ferdfulnesse felle yn on hem, and thei fledden in to an hid place.
8 Ostadoh sam gledajući to veliko viđenje; onemoćah, lice mi problijedje, iznakazi se, snaga me ostavi.
But Y was left aloone, and Y siy this greet visioun, and strengthe dwellide not in me; but also my licnesse was chaungid in me, and Y was stark, and Y hadde not in me ony thing of strengthis.
9 Začuh glas njegovih riječi, i kad razabrah glas, onesvijestih se i padoh licem na zemlju.
And Y herde the vois of hise wordis, and Y herde, and lay astonyed on my face, and my face cleuyde to the erthe.
10 I gle: ruka me dotače i pomože mi da se uprem na koljena i na dlanove.
And lo! an hond touchide me, and reiside me on my knees, and on the toes of my feet.
11 On mi reče: “Daniele, miljeniče, pripazi na riječi koje ću ti kazati! Ustani, jer ja sam evo k tebi poslan.” To reče, a ja ustadoh dršćući.
And he seide to me, Thou, Danyel, a man of desiris, vndurstonde the wordis whiche Y speke to thee, and stonde in thi degree; for now Y am sent to thee. And whanne he hadde seid this word to me, Y stood quakynge.
12 I kaza mi: “Ne boj se, Daniele, jer od prvoga dana kad si odlučio da se poniziš pred svojim Bogom da bi razumio, tvoje su riječi uslišane i ja sam došao zbog tvojih riječi.
And he seide to me, Danyel, nyle thou drede, for fro the firste dai in which thou settidist thin herte to vndurstonde, that thou schuldist turmente thee in the siyt of thi God, thi wordis weren herd, and Y cam for thi wordis.
13 Knez kraljevstva perzijskoga protivio mi se dvadeset i jedan dan, ali Mihael, jedan od prvih Knezova, dođe mi u pomoć. Ostavih ga nasuprot Knezu perzijskome,
Forsothe the prince of the rewme of Perseis ayenstood me oon and twenti daies, and lo! Myyhel, oon of the firste princes, cam in to myn help, and Y dwellide stille there bisidis the kyng of Perseis.
14 a ja dođoh da ti kažem što će zadesiti tvoj narod na svršetku dana. Jer još će jedno viđenje biti za one dane.”
Forsothe Y am comun to teche thee, what thingis schulen come to thi puple in the laste daies; for yit the visioun is delaied in to daies.
15 Pošto mi to reče, ja oborih pogled na zemlju, bez riječi.
And whanne he spak to me bi siche wordis, Y castide doun my cheer to erthe, and was stille.
16 I gle: onaj, sličan sinu čovječjem dotače se mojih usana. Otvorih usta da govorim te rekoh onome koji stajaše preda mnom: “Gospodaru moj, zbog ovog viđenja obuzeše me tjeskobe i onemoćah.
And lo! as the licnesse of sone of man touchide my lippis; and Y openyde my mouth, and spak, and seide to hym that stood bifore me, My Lord, in thi siyt my ioynctis ben vnknit, and no thing of strengthis dwellide in me.
17 I kako će sluga Gospodina svoga govoriti s Gospodinom kad posve onemoćah i dah me ostavi?”
And hou schal the seruaunt of my Lord mow speke with my Lord? no thing of strengthis dwellide in me, but also my breeth is closyde bitwixe.
18 Tada me se opet dotače onaj što bijaše kao čovjek te me okrijepi.
Therfor eft as the siyt of a man touchide me, and coumfortide me,
19 On reče: “Ne boj se, miljeniče! Mir tebi! Budi jak! Ohrabri se!” I dok mi to govoraše, ja se ohrabrih pa rekoh: “Govori, Gospodine, jer si me ohrabrio!”
and seide, Man of desiris, nyle thou drede; pees be to thee, be thou coumfortid, and be thou strong. And whanne he spak with me, Y wexide strong and seide, My Lord, speke thou, for thou hast coumfortid me.
20 Tada će on: “Znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? Sad ću se vratiti da se borim protiv Kneza Perzije; a čim svršim, doći će Knez Grčke.
And he seide, Whether thou woost not, whi Y cam to thee? And now Y schal turne ayen, to fiyte ayens the prince of Perseis. For whanne Y yede out, the prince of Grekis apperide comynge.
21 Ali ću ti prije otkriti što je zapisano u Knjizi istine. Nema nikoga tko bi se sa mnom protiv njih borio, osim Mihaela, Kneza vašega,
Netheles Y schal telle to thee that, that is expressid in the scripture of treuthe; and noon is myn helpere in alle these thingis, no but Myyhel, youre prynce.
