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.
V tretjem letu perzijskega kralja Kira je bila stvar razodeta Danielu, katerega ime je bilo imenovano Beltšacár. Stvar je bila resnična, toda določeni čas je bil dolg, in razumel je stvar in imel je razumevanje videnja.
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
V tistih dneh sem jaz, Daniel, žaloval tri polne tedne.
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.
Nisem jedel nobenega prijetnega kruha, niti ni prišlo v moja usta meso, niti vino, niti se sploh nisem mazilil, dokler niso bili izpolnjeni dnevi treh tednov.
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;
Na štiriindvajseti dan prvega meseca, medtem ko sem bil ob bregu velike reke, ki je Hidekel,
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:
takrat sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, neki mož, oblečen v platno, čigar ledja so bila opasana s finim zlatom iz Ufaza.
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.
Tudi njegovo telo je bilo podobno berilu in njegov obraz kakor videz bliskanja in njegove oči kakor ognjene svetilke in njegovi lakti in njegova stopala podobna barvi zloščenega brona in glas njegovih besed podoben glasu množice.
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.
Samo jaz, Daniel, sem videl videnje, kajti ljudje, ki so bili z menoj, videnja niso videli, toda nanje je padlo veliko drgetanje, tako da so zbežali, da se poskrijejo.
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.
Torej sem ostal sam in gledal to veliko videnje in v meni ni ostalo nobene moči, kajti moja ljubkost je bila v meni spremenjena v pokvarjenost in nobene moči nisem ohranil.
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.
Vendar sem zaslišal glas njegovih besed. Ko sem poslušal glas njegovih besed, sem bil potem v globokem spanju na svojem obrazu in s svojim obrazom proti tlom.
10 And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and [upon] the palms of my hands.
Glej, dotaknila se me je roka, ki me je postavila na moja kolena in na dlani mojih rok.
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.
Rekel mi je: »Oh Daniel, silno ljubljen mož, razumi besede, ki ti jih govorim in stoj pokončno, kajti sedaj sem poslan k tebi.« In ko mi je govoril to besedo, sem trepetajoč stal.
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.
Potem mi je rekel: »Ne boj se, Daniel, kajti od prvega dne, ko si pripravil svoje srce k razumevanju in da se ponižaš pred svojim Bogom, so bile tvoje besede uslišane in prišel sem zaradi tvojih besed.
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.
Toda princ perzijskega kraljestva se mi je zoperstavljal enaindvajset dni. Toda glej, prišel je Mihael, eden izmed glavnih princev, da mi pomaga, in ostal sem tam s perzijskimi kralji.
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.
Sedaj sem prišel, da ti dam razumevanje, kaj bo doletelo tvoje ljudstvo v zadnjih dneh, kajti videnje je še za mnoge dni.«
15 And when he had spoken such words to me, I set my face towards the ground, and I became dumb.
Ko mi je govoril takšne besede, sem pobesil svoj obraz proti tlom in postal nem.
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.
Glej, nekdo podoben človeškim sinovom, se je dotaknil mojih ustnic. Potem sem odprl svoja usta in spregovoril ter rekel temu, ki je stal pred menoj: »Oh moj gospod, po videnju so se moje bridkosti obrnile k meni in nisem ohranil nobene moči.
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.
Kajti kako lahko služabnik tega mojega gospoda govori s tem mojim gospodom? Kajti kar se mene tiče, nemudoma v meni ni ostalo nobene moči niti v meni ni ostalo diha.«
18 Then there came again and touched me [one] like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Potem je ponovno prišel in se me dotaknil nekdo, podoben videzu človeka, me okrepil
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.
in rekel: »Oh silno ljubljeni mož, ne boj se. Mir ti bodi, bodi močan, da, bodi močan.« Ko mi je govoril, sem bil okrepljen in rekel [sem]: »Naj moj gospod govori, kajti okrepil si me.«
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.
Potem je rekel: »Ali veš zakaj sem prišel k tebi? Sedaj se bom vrnil, da se borim s princem Perzije. Ko odidem, glej, bo prišel princ Grčije.
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.
Toda pokazal ti bom to, kar je zabeleženo v pismu resnice, in tam ni nikogar, ki drži z menoj v teh stvareh, razen Mihaela, vašega princa.«
