Daniel 10
1 In the third yeere of Cyrus King of Persia, a thing was reueiled vnto Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar) and the worde was true, but the time appointed was long, and he vnderstood the thing, and had vnderstanding 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 At the same time I Daniel was in heauines for three weekes of dayes.
In diebus illis ego Daniel lugebam trium hebdomadarum diebus
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint my selfe at all, till three weekes of dayes 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 in the foure and twentieth day of the first moneth, as I was by the side of that great riuer, euen Hiddekel,
Die autem vigesima et quarta mensis primi eram iuxta fluvium magnum qui est Tigris
5 And I lift vp mine eyes, and looked, and beholde, there was a man clothed in linnen, whose loynes were girded with fine golde of Vphaz.
Et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce vir unus vestitus lineis et renes eius accincti auro obrizo
6 His body also was like the Chrysolite, and his face (to looke vpon) like the lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his armes and his feete were like in colour to polished brasse, and the voyce of his wordes was like the voyce 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 sawe the vision: for the men that were with me, sawe not the vision: but a great feare fell vpon them, so that they fled away and hid themselues.
Vidi autem ego Daniel solus visionem porro viri qui erant mecum non viderunt sed terror nimus irruit super eos et fugerunt in absconditum
8 Therefore I was left alone, and sawe this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my strength was turned in me into corruption, and I reteined no power.
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 Yet heard I the voyce of his wordes: and when I heard the voyce of his wordes, I slept on my face: and my face was toward the ground.
Et audivi vocem sermonum eius et audiens iacebam consternatus super faciem meam et vultus meus haerebat terrae
10 And behold, an hand touched me, which set me vp vpon my knees and vpon the palmes of mine hands.
Et ecce manus tetigit me et erexit me super genua mea et super articulos manuum mearum
11 And he sayde vnto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloued, vnderstand the wordes that I speake vnto thee, and stand in thy place: for vnto thee am I nowe sent. And when hee had sayde this worde vnto 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 Then sayd he vnto me, Feare not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou diddest set thine heart to vnderstand, and to humble thy selfe before thy God, thy wordes were heard, and I am come for thy wordes.
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 kingdome of Persia withstoode me one and twentie dayes: but loe, Michael one of the chiefe princes, came to helpe me, and I remained there by 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 Nowe I am come to shewe thee what shall come to thy people in the latter dayes: for yet the vision is for many dayes.
Veni autem ut docerem te quae ventura sunt populo tuo in novissimis diebus quoniam adhuc visio in dies
15 And when he spake these wordes vnto me, I set my face towarde the grounde, and helde my tongue.
Cumque loqueretur mihi huiuscemodi verbis deieci vultum meum ad terram et tacui
16 And beholde, one like the similitude of the sonnes of man touched my lippes: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said vnto him that stoode before me, O my Lord, by the vision my sorowes are returned vpon me, and I haue reteined 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 For howe can the seruant of this my Lord talke with my Lord being such one? for as for me, straight way there remained 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 came againe, and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Rursum ergo tetigit me quasi visio hominis et confortavit me
19 And said, O man, greatly beloued, feare not: peace be vnto thee: be strong and of good courage. And when he had spoken vnto me, I was strengthened, and saide, Let my Lord speake: 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 Then saide he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come vnto thee? but nowe will I returne to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, loe, the prince of Grecia 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 But I will shew thee that which is decreeed in the Scripture of trueth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, 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
