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.
| 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 was mourning three full weeks.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنَا دَانِيَالَ قَضَيْتُ ثَلاثَةَ أَسَابِيعَ فِي النَّوْحِ، | ٢ |
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.
| لَمْ آكُلْ فِيهَا طَعَاماً شَهِيًّا، وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَمِي لَحْمٌ أَوْ خَمْرٌ، وَلَمْ أَتَطَيَّبْ بِدُهْنٍ. | ٣ |
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ، بَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ إِلَى جِوَارِ نَهْرِ دِجْلَةَ الْكَبِيرِ، | ٤ |
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:
| تَطَلَّعْتُ حَوْلِي فَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مُرْتَدٍ كَتَّاناً، وَحَقَوَاهُ مُتَحَزِّمَانِ بِنِطَاقٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، | ٥ |
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.
| وَجِسْمُهُ كَالزَّبَرْجَدِ، وَوَجْهُهُ يَتَأَلَّقُ كَالْبَرْقِ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَتَوَهَّجَانِ كَمِصْبَاحَيْ نَارٍ، وَذِرَاعَاهُ وَرِجْلاهُ لامِعَةٌ كَالنُّحَاسِ الْمَصْقُولِ، وَأَصْدَاءُ كَلِمَاتِهِ كَجَلَبَةِ جُمْهُورٍ. | ٦ |
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.
| كُنْتُ وَحْدِي أَنَا دَانِيَالَ الَّذِي شَاهَدْتُ الرُّؤْيَا، أَمَّا الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعِي فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئاً. إِنَّمَا هَيْمَنَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ رِعْدَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ، فَهَرَبُوا مُخْتَبِئِينَ. | ٧ |
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.
| وَبَقِيتُ أَنَا وَحْدِي أَشْهَدُ الرُّوْيَا الْعَظِيمَةَ، وَقَدْ تَلاشَتْ مِنِّي الْقُوَّةُ، وَتَحَوَّلَتْ نَضَارَتِي إِلَى ذُبُولٍ، وَفَقَدْتُ قُدْرَتِي. | ٨ |
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.
| وَمَا إِنْ سَمِعْتُ أَصْدَاءَ كَلِمَاتِهِ حَتَّى سَقَطْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ يَغْشَانِي سُبَاتٌ عَمِيقٌ. | ٩ |
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees.
| وَإذَا بِيَدٍ لَمَسَتْنِي وَأَقَامَتْنِي، وَأَنَا أَرْتَجِفُ عَلَى يَدَيَّ وَرُكْبَتَيَّ | ١٠ |
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.
| 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 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.
| 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 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:
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ رَئِيسَ مَمْلَكَةِ فَارِسَ قَاوَمَنِي وَاحِداً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْماً. فَأَقْبَلَ مِيخَائِيلُ، أَحَدُ كِبَارِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ لِمَعُونَتِي، بَعْدَ أَنْ حُجِزْتُ هُنَاكَ عِنْدَ مُلُوكِ فَارِسَ. | ١٣ |
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.
| وَقَدْ جِئْتُ الآنَ لأُطْلِعَكَ عَلَى مَا يُصِيبُ شَعْبَكَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الأَخِيرَةِ، لأَنَّ الرُّوْيَا تَخْتَصُّ بِالأَيَّامِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ». | ١٤ |
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].
| 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; 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.
| 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 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.
| فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيعُ عَبْدُ سَيِّدِي هَذَا أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ مَعَ سَيِّدِي، وَقَدْ نَضَبَتْ مِنِّي الْقُوَّةُ، وَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِيَّ نَسَمَةٌ؟» | ١٧ |
18 And there touched me again as it were the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
| فَعَادَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي شِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ وَلَمَسَنِي وَشَدَّدَنِي، | ١٨ |
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.
| 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, 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.
| 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 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.
| وَلَكِنِّي أُطْلِعُكَ عَلَى مَا نُصَّ عَلَيْهِ فِي كِتَابِ الْحَقِّ، وَلا أَحَدٌ يُؤَازِرُنِي ضِدَّ هَؤُلاءِ سِوَى حَارِسِ شَعْبِكُمُ الْمَلاكِ مِيخَائِيلَ». | ٢١ |
