Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing is true, but the appointed time of trial is long; and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
Anno tertio Cyri regis Persarum verbum revelatum est Danieli cognomento Baltassar et verbum verum et fortitudo magna intellexitque sermonem intelligentia enim est opus in visione
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks:
In diebus illis ego Daniel lugebam trium hebdomadarum diebus
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three full weeks were fulfilled.
panem desiderabilem non comedi et caro et vinum non introierunt in os meum sed neque unguento unctus sum donec complerentur trium hebdomadarum dies
4 And on the four-and-twentieth day of the first month, I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel:
Die autem vigesima et quarta mensis primi eram iuxta fluvium magnum qui est Tigris
5 and I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz;
Et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce vir unus vestitus lineis et renes eius accincti auro obrizo
6 and his body was like a chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet as the look of burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
et corpus eius quasi chrysolithus et facies eius velut species fulguris et oculi eius ut lampas ardens et brachia eius et quae deorsum sunt usque ad pedes quasi species aeris candentis et vox sermonum eius ut vox multitudinis
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision; and the men that were with me saw not the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Vidi autem ego Daniel solus visionem porro viri qui erant mecum non viderunt sed terror nimus irruit super eos et fugerunt in absconditum
8 And I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; and my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
Ego autem relictus solus vidi visionem grandem hanc et non remansit in me fortitudo sed et species mea immutata est in me et emarcui nec habui quidquam virium
9 And I heard the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, I fell into a deep stupor on my face, and my face to the ground.
Et audivi vocem sermonum eius et audiens iacebam consternatus super faciem meam et vultus meus haerebat terrae
10 And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
Et ecce manus tetigit me et erexit me super genua mea et super articulos manuum mearum
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And as he spoke this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Et dixit ad me Daniel vir desideriorum intellige verba quae ego loquor ad te et sta in gradu tuo nunc enim sum missus ad te Cumque dixisset mihi sermonem istum steti tremens
12 And he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come because of thy words.
Et ait ad me Noli metuere Daniel quia ex die primo quo posuisti cor tuum ad intelligendum ut te affligeres in conspectu Dei tui exaudita sunt verba tua et ego veni propter sermones tuos
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Princeps autem regni Persarum restitit mihi viginti et uno diebus et ecce Michael unus de principibus primis venit in adiutorium meum et ego remansi ibi iuxta regem Persarum
14 And I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people at the end of the days: for the vision is yet for [many] days.
Veni autem ut docerem te quae ventura sunt populo tuo in novissimis diebus quoniam adhuc visio in dies
15 And as he was speaking with me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
Cumque loqueretur mihi huiuscemodi verbis deieci vultum meum ad terram et tacui
16 And behold, one after the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; and I opened my mouth and spoke, and said unto him that stood before me, My lord, by reason of the vision my pains are turned upon me, and I retain no strength.
Et ecce quasi similitudo filii hominis tetigit labia mea et aperiens os meum locutus sum et dixi ad eum qui stabat contra me Domine mi in visione tua dissolutae sunt compages meae et nihil in me remansit virium
17 And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remaineth no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
Et quomodo poterit servus Domini mei loqui cum Domino meo nihil enim in me remansit virium sed et halitus meus intercluditur
18 Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me;
Rursum ergo tetigit me quasi visio hominis et confortavit me
19 and he said, Fear not, man greatly beloved; peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And as he was speaking with me I was strengthened, and I said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
et dixit Noli timere vir desideriorum pax tibi confortare et esto robustus Cumque loqueretur mecum convalui et dixi Loquere Domine mi quia confortasti me
20 And he said, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? And now I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, behold, the prince of Greece shall come.
Et ait Numquid scis quare venerim ad te et nunc revertar ut praelier adversum principem Persarum cum ego egrederer apparuit princeps Graecorum veniens
21 However, I will declare unto thee that which is set down in the scripture of truth; and there is not one that sheweth himself strong with me against these, but Michael your prince.
Verumtamen annunciabo tibi quod expressum est in scriptura veritatis et nemo est adiutor meus in omnibus his nisi Michael princeps vester
