Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Baltasar; and the thing was true, and great power and understanding in the vision was given to him.
El tercer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, fue revelada Palabra a Daniel, llamado Beltsasar, Palabra verdadera con respecto a un gran conflicto. Él comprendió la Palabra y tuvo inteligencia en la visión.
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
En aquellos días, yo, Daniel, estuve afligido por espacio de tres semanas.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, and no flesh or wine entered into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself with oil, until three whole weeks were accomplished.
No comí manjar delicado, ni carne ni vino entraron en mi boca, ni me ungí con ungüento, hasta que se cumplieron tres semanas completas.
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.
El día 24 del mes primero yo estaba en la orilla del gran río Hidequel.
5 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with gold of Ophaz:
Al levantar mis ojos miré, y vi a un varón vestido de lino blanco, ceñida su cintura con oro de Ufaz.
6 and his body was as Tharsis, and his face was a the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
Su cuerpo era como crisólito, su rostro como un relámpago y sus ojos como antorchas de fuego. Sus brazos y pies tenían la refulgencia del bronce incandescente, y el sonido de sus palabras era como el estruendo de una multitud.
7 And I Daniel only saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear.
Solo yo, Daniel, vi aquella visión. Los hombres que estaban conmigo no la vieron. Pero un gran temor cayó sobre ellos, y huyeron para esconderse.
8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength.
Yo quedé solo y vi esta gran visión. No quedó fuerza en mí, porque mi vigor se cambió en fragilidad. Me quedé sin vigor.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard him I was pricked [in the heart], and [I fell with] my face to the earth.
Pero oí el sonido de sus palabras. Y al oírlo, me postré en tierra con un sueño profundo.
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees.
Sin embargo, una mano me tocó. Temblaba y me puso sobre mis manos y mis rodillas.
11 And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to you, and stand upright: for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken to me this word, I stood trembling.
Y me dijo: Daniel, varón muy amado, está atento a las palabras que te hablaré. Ponte derecho sobre tus pies, porque ahora fui enviado a ti. Y cuando me dijo esa palabra, me puse en pie y temblaba.
12 And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to afflict yourself before the Lord your God, they words were heard, and I am come because of your words.
Me dijo: Daniel, no temas, porque desde el primer día cuando dispusiste tu corazón para entender y humillarte ante tu ʼElohim, tus palabras fueron oídas, y vine a causa de ellas.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:
Pero el príncipe del reino de Persia se me opuso 21 días. Pero mira, Miguel, uno de los principales arcángeles, vino para ayudarme, y yo quedé allí con los reyes de Persia.
14 and I have come to inform you of all that shall befall your people in the last days: for the vision is yet for [many] days.
Vine para informarte lo que vendrá a tu pueblo en los últimos días, porque la visión es para aquellos días.
15 And when he had spoken with me according to these words, I turned my face to the ground, and was pricked [in the heart].
Mientras él me decía estas palabras, yo volví mi rostro hacia la tierra y enmudecí.
16 And, behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O [my] lord, at the sight of you my bowels were turned within me, and I had no strength.
Pero ciertamente uno que parecía un ser humano tocó mis labios. Entonces abrí mi boca y hablé, y dije al que estaba delante de mí: ʼadón mío, a causa de la visión me vinieron dolores y no retuve fuerza.
17 And how shall your servant be able, O [my] lord, to speak with this my lord? and as for me, from henceforth strength will not remain in me, and there is no breath left in me.
¿Cómo puede el esclavo de mi ʼadón hablar con mi ʼadón? Porque en cuanto a mí, ahora mismo no me queda fuerza ni aliento.
18 And there touched me again as it were the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Entonces, aquel que tenía semejanza de hombre me tocó otra vez, me fortaleció
19 and said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to you, quit yourself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, and said, Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.
y me dijo: Muy amado, no temas. La paz sea contigo. Esfuérzate y aliéntate. Y mientras él me hablaba, recobré las fuerzas y dije: Que hable mi ʼadón, porque me fortaleciste.
20 And he said, Know you, therefore I am come to you? and now I will return to fight with the prince of the Persians: and I was going in, and the prince of the Greeks came.
Entonces él preguntó: ¿Entiendes por qué vine a ti? Ahora tengo que volver para luchar contra el príncipe de Persia, y ciertamente el príncipe de Grecia viene pronto.
21 But I will tell you that which is ordained in the scripture of truth: and there is no one that holds with me in these matters but Michael your prince.
Pero te declararé lo que está escrito en el rollo de la verdad. Nadie me ayuda contra ellos, sino Miguel, el príncipe de ustedes.
