Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel surnamed Baltassar, and a true word, and great strength: and he understood the word: for there is need of understanding in a vision.
| 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 |
2 In those days I Daniel mourned the days of three weeks.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنَا دَانِيَالَ قَضَيْتُ ثَلاثَةَ أَسَابِيعَ فِي النَّوْحِ، | ٢ |
3 I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine entered into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of three weeks were accomplished.
| لَمْ آكُلْ فِيهَا طَعَاماً شَهِيًّا، وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَمِي لَحْمٌ أَوْ خَمْرٌ، وَلَمْ أَتَطَيَّبْ بِدُهْنٍ. | ٣ |
4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month I was by the great river which is the Tigris.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ، بَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ إِلَى جِوَارِ نَهْرِ دِجْلَةَ الْكَبِيرِ، | ٤ |
5 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold:
| تَطَلَّعْتُ حَوْلِي فَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مُرْتَدٍ كَتَّاناً، وَحَقَوَاهُ مُتَحَزِّمَانِ بِنِطَاقٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، | ٥ |
6 And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude.
| وَجِسْمُهُ كَالزَّبَرْجَدِ، وَوَجْهُهُ يَتَأَلَّقُ كَالْبَرْقِ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَتَوَهَّجَانِ كَمِصْبَاحَيْ نَارٍ، وَذِرَاعَاهُ وَرِجْلاهُ لامِعَةٌ كَالنُّحَاسِ الْمَصْقُولِ، وَأَصْدَاءُ كَلِمَاتِهِ كَجَلَبَةِ جُمْهُورٍ. | ٦ |
7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves.
| كُنْتُ وَحْدِي أَنَا دَانِيَالَ الَّذِي شَاهَدْتُ الرُّؤْيَا، أَمَّا الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعِي فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئاً. إِنَّمَا هَيْمَنَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ رِعْدَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، فَهَرَبُوا مُخْتَبِئِينَ. | ٧ |
8 And I being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.
| وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي أَشْهَدُ الرُّوْيَا الْعَظِيمَةَ، وَقَدْ تَلاشَتْ مِنِّي الْقُوَّةُ، وَتَحَوَّلَتْ نَضَارَتِي إِلَى ذُبُولٍ، وَفَقَدْتُ قُدْرَتِي. | ٨ |
9 And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard, I lay in a consternation, upon my face, and my face was close to the ground.
| وَمَا إِنْ سَمِعْتُ أَصْدَاءَ كَلِمَاتِهِ حَتَّى سَقَطْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ يَغْشَانِي سُبَاتٌ عَمِيقٌ. | ٩ |
10 And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands.
| وَإذَا بِيَدٍ لَمَسَتْنِي وَأَقَامَتْنِي، وَأَنَا أَرْتَجِفُ عَلَى يَدَيَّ وَرُكْبَتَيَّ | ١٠ |
11 And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.
| 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 |
12 And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words.
| 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 |
13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ رَئِيسَ مَمْلَكَةِ فَارِسَ قَاوَمَنِي وَاحِداً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْماً. فَأَقْبَلَ مِيخَائِيلُ، أَحَدُ كِبَارِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ لِمَعُونَتِي، بَعْدَ أَنْ حُجِزْتُ هُنَاكَ عِنْدَ مُلُوكِ فَارِسَ. | ١٣ |
14 But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.
| وَقَدْ جِئْتُ الآنَ لأُطْلِعَكَ عَلَى مَا يُصِيبُ شَعْبَكَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الأَخِيرَةِ، لأَنَّ الرُّوْيَا تَخْتَصُّ بِالأَيَّامِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ». | ١٤ |
15 And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my countenance to the ground, and held my peace.
| فَلَمَّا خَاطَبَنِي بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ، أَطْرَقْتُ بِوَجْهِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَصَمَتُّ، | ١٥ |
16 And behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my Lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me.
| وَإذَا بِشِبْهِ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ لَمَسَ شَفَتَيَّ، فَفَتَحْتُ فَمِي وَقُلْتُ لِلْمَاثِلِ أَمَامِي: «يَا سَيِّدِي، قَدْ غَلَبَنِي الأَلَمُ بِسَبَبِ الرُّؤْيَا، فَمَا امْتَلَكْتُ قُوَّةً، | ١٦ |
17 And how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no strength remaineth in me, moreover my breath is stopped.
| فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيعُ عَبْدُ سَيِّدِي هَذَا أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ مَعَ سَيِّدِي، وَقَدْ نَضَبَتْ مِنِّي الْقُوَّةُ، وَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِيَّ نَسَمَةٌ؟» | ١٧ |
18 Therefore he that looked like a man touched me again, and strengthened me.
| فَعَادَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي شِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ وَلَمَسَنِي وَشَدَّدَنِي، | ١٨ |
19 And he said: Fear not, O man of desires, peace be to thee: take courage and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong: and I said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast strengthened me.
| وَقَالَ: «لا تَخَفْ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ الْمَحْبُوبُ؛ سَلامٌ لَكَ. تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ». وَحَالَمَا كَلَّمَنِي دَبَّتْ فِيَّ الْقُوَّةُ وَقُلْتُ: «لِيَتَكَلَّمْ سَيِّدِي لأَنَّكَ شَدَّدْتَنِي». | ١٩ |
20 And he said: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming.
| فَسَأَلَنِي: «هَلْ أَدْرَكْتَ لِمَاذَا جِئْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَالآنَ هَا أَنَا أَعُودُ لأُحَارِبَ رَئِيسَ فَارِسَ، وَمَا إِنْ أَنْتَهِي مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُقْبِلَ رَئِيسُ الْيُونَانِ. | ٢٠ |
21 But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince.
| وَلَكِنِّي أُطْلِعُكَ عَلَى مَا نُصَّ عَلَيْهِ فِي كِتَابِ الْحَقِّ، وَلا أَحَدٌ يُؤَازِرُنِي ضِدَّ هَؤُلاءِ سِوَى حَارِسِ شَعْبِكُمُ الْمَلاكِ مِيخَائِيلَ». | ٢١ |
