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 hath understood the thing, and hath understanding about the appearance.
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 'In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;
In diebus illis ego Daniel lugebam trium hebdomadarum diebus
3 desirable bread I have not eaten, and flesh and wine hath not come in unto my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, till the completion of three weeks of days.
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 twenty and fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
Die autem vigesima et quarta mensis primi eram iuxta fluvium magnum qui est Tigris
5 and I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz,
Et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce vir unus vestitus lineis et renes eius accincti auro obrizo
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 brass, and the voice of his words as the voice 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 have seen — I, Daniel, by myself — the appearance: and the men who have been with me have not seen the appearance, but a great trembling hath fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;
Vidi autem ego Daniel solus visionem porro viri qui erant mecum non viderunt sed terror nimus irruit super eos et fugerunt in absconditum
8 and I have been left by myself, and I see this great appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not retained 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 '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;
Et audivi vocem sermonum eius et audiens iacebam consternatus super faciem meam et vultus meus haerebat terrae
10 and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and the palms of my hands.
Et ecce manus tetigit me et erexit me super genua mea et super articulos manuum mearum
11 'And he saith unto me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking unto thee, and stand on thy station, for now I have been sent unto thee. 'And when he speaketh with me this word, I have 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 And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I have come because of thy words.
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 'And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing over-against me twenty and one days, and lo, Michael, first of the chief heads, hath come in to help me, and I have remained there near 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 and I have come to cause thee to understand that which doth happen to thy people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.
Veni autem ut docerem te quae ventura sunt populo tuo in novissimis diebus quoniam adhuc visio in dies
15 'And when he speaketh with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
Cumque loqueretur mihi huiuscemodi verbis deieci vultum meum ad terram et tacui
16 and lo, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say unto him who is standing over-against me: My lord, by the appearance turned have been my pangs against me, and I have retained no power.
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 And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? as for me, henceforth there remaineth in me no power, yea, breath hath not been 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 'And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth me,
Rursum ergo tetigit me quasi visio hominis et confortavit me
19 and he saith: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to thee, be strong, yea, be strong; and when he speaketh with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, 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 And he saith, Hast thou known why I have come unto thee? and now I turn back to fight with the head of Persia; yea, I am going forth, and lo, the head of Javan hath 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 declare to thee 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.
Verumtamen annunciabo tibi quod expressum est in scriptura veritatis et nemo est adiutor meus in omnibus his nisi Michael princeps vester
