Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he has understood the thing, and has understanding about the appearance.
En el tercer año de Ciro rey de Persia, fue revelada la Palabra a Daniel, cuyo nombre era Beltasar; y la Palabra era verdadera, mas el tiempo señalado era largo, la cual palabra él entendió, y tuvo inteligencia en la visión.
2 “In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;
En aquellos días yo, Daniel, me contristé tres semanas de días.
3 I have not eaten desirable bread, and no flesh and wine came into my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, until the completion of three weeks of days.
No comí pan delicado, ni entró carne ni vino en mi boca, ni me unté con ungüento, hasta que se cumplieron tres semanas de días.
4 And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
Y a los veinticuatro días del mes primero estaba yo a la orilla del gran río Hidekel;
5 and I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz,
y alzando mis ojos miré, y he aquí un varón vestido de lienzos, y ceñidos sus lomos de oro muy fino;
6 and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright bronze, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
y su cuerpo era como piedra de Tarsis ( turquesa ), y su rostro parecía un relámpago, y sus ojos como antorchas de fuego, y sus brazos y sus pies como de color de bronce resplandeciente, y la voz de sus palabras como la voz de un ejército.
7 And I, Daniel, have seen the vision by myself, and the men who have been with me have not seen the vision, but a great trembling has fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;
Y sólo yo, Daniel, vi aquella visión, y no la vieron los varones que estaban conmigo; sino que cayó sobre ellos gran temor, y huyeron, y se escondieron.
8 and I have been left by myself, and I see this great vision, and there has been no power left in me, and my splendor has been turned in me to corruption, indeed, I have not retained power.
Quedé, pues, yo solo, y vi esta gran visión, y no quedó en mí esfuerzo; antes mi fuerza se me trocó en desmayo, sin retener vigor alguno.
9 And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face [is] to the earth;
Pero oí la voz de sus palabras; y cuando oí la voz de sus palabras, fui adormecido sobre mi rostro, y mi rostro en tierra.
10 and behold, a hand has come against me, and shakes me on my knees and the palms of my hands.
Y, he aquí, una mano me tocó, e hizo que me moviese sobre mis rodillas, y sobre las palmas de mis manos.
11 And he says to me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking to you, and stand on your station, for now I have been sent to you. And when he speaks with me this word, I have stood trembling.
Y me dijo: Daniel, varón de deseos, está atento a las palabras que yo te hablaré, y levántate sobre tus pies; porque yo soy enviado ahora a ti. Y estando hablando conmigo esto, yo estaba temblando.
12 And he says to me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.
Y me dijo: Daniel, no temas, porque desde el primer día que diste tu corazón a entender, y a afligir tu alma delante de tu Dios, fueron oídas tus palabras; y yo soy venido a causa de tus palabras.
13 And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing in opposition in front of me [for] twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, first of the chief heads, has come to help me, and I have remained there near the kings of Persia;
Mas el príncipe del reino de Persia se puso contra mí veintiún días; y he aquí, Miguel, uno de los principales príncipes, vino para ayudarme, y yo quedé allí con los reyes de Persia.
14 and I have come to cause you to understand that which happens to your people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.
Y soy venido para hacerte saber lo que ha de venir a tu pueblo en los postreros días; porque aún habrá visión para algunos días;
15 And when he speaks with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
y estando hablando conmigo semejantes palabras, puse mis ojos en tierra, y enmudecí.
16 and behold, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say to him who is standing in opposition in front of me: My lord, by the vision my pangs have been turned against me, and I have retained no power.
Y he aquí, como una semejanza de hijo de hombre tocó mis labios. Y abrí mi boca, y hablé, y dije a aquel que estaba delante de mí: Señor mío, con la visión se trastornaron mis dolores sobre mí, y no me quedó fuerza.
17 And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? As for me, from now on there remains in me no power, indeed, breath has not been left in me.
¿Cómo, pues, podrá el siervo de mi Señor hablar con este mi Señor? Porque en este instante me faltó la fuerza, y no me quedó aliento.
18 And he adds, and strikes against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengthens me,
Y aquella como semejanza de hombre me tocó otra vez, y me confortó;
19 and he says: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to you, be strong, indeed, be strong; and when he speaks with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.
y me dijo: Varón de deseos, no temas; paz a ti; ten buen ánimo, y aliéntate. Y hablando él conmigo cobré yo vigor, y dije: Hable mi señor, porque me has fortalecido.
20 And he says, Have you known why I have come to you? And now I return to fight with the head of Persia; indeed, I am going forth, and behold, the head of Javan has come;
Y dijo: ¿Sabes por qué he venido a ti? Porque luego tengo que volver para pelear con el príncipe de Persia; y al salir yo, luego viene el príncipe de Grecia.
21 but I declare to you that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.”
Pero yo te declararé lo que está escrito en la escritura de verdad; y ninguno hay que se esfuerce conmigo en estos asuntos, sino Miguel vuestro príncipe.
