Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing [was] true, but the time appointed [was] long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the 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 was mourning three full weeks.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَنَا دَانِيَالَ قَضَيْتُ ثَلاثَةَ أَسَابِيعَ فِي النَّوْحِ، | ٢ |
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
| 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, as I was by the side of the great river, which [is] Hiddekel;
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ، بَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ إِلَى جِوَارِ نَهْرِ دِجْلَةَ الْكَبِيرِ، | ٤ |
5 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins [were] girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
| تَطَلَّعْتُ حَوْلِي فَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ مُرْتَدٍ كَتَّاناً، وَحَقَوَاهُ مُتَحَزِّمَانِ بِنِطَاقٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ، | ٥ |
6 His body also [was] like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words 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 not the vision: but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide 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 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me 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 the voice of his words, then I was in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
| وَمَا إِنْ سَمِعْتُ أَصْدَاءَ كَلِمَاتِهِ حَتَّى سَقَطْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ يَغْشَانِي سُبَاتٌ عَمِيقٌ. | ٩ |
10 And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and [upon] the palms of my hands.
| وَإذَا بِيَدٍ لَمَسَتْنِي وَأَقَامَتْنِي، وَأَنَا أَرْتَجِفُ عَلَى يَدَيَّ وَرُكْبَتَيَّ | ١٠ |
11 And he said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for to thee I am now sent. And when he had spoken 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 Then said he to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were 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 Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ رَئِيسَ مَمْلَكَةِ فَارِسَ قَاوَمَنِي وَاحِداً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْماً. فَأَقْبَلَ مِيخَائِيلُ، أَحَدُ كِبَارِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ لِمَعُونَتِي، بَعْدَ أَنْ حُجِزْتُ هُنَاكَ عِنْدَ مُلُوكِ فَارِسَ. | ١٣ |
14 Now I have come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision [is] 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 such words to me, I set my face towards the ground, and I became dumb.
| فَلَمَّا خَاطَبَنِي بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ، أَطْرَقْتُ بِوَجْهِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَصَمَتُّ، | ١٥ |
16 And behold, [one] like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained 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 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
| فَكَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيعُ عَبْدُ سَيِّدِي هَذَا أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ مَعَ سَيِّدِي، وَقَدْ نَضَبَتْ مِنِّي الْقُوَّةُ، وَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِيَّ نَسَمَةٌ؟» | ١٧ |
18 Then there came again and touched me [one] like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
| فَعَادَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي شِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ وَلَمَسَنِي وَشَدَّدَنِي، | ١٨ |
19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace [be] to thee, be strong, yes, be strong. And when he had spoken to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; 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 Then said he, Knowest thou for what cause I come to thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
| 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 show thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and [there is] none that holdeth with me in 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 |
