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.
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, have been mourning three weeks of days;
V tistih dneh sem jaz, Daniel, žaloval tri polne tedne.
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.
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 twenty and fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
Na štiriindvajseti dan prvega meseca, medtem ko sem bil ob bregu velike reke, ki je Hidekel,
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,
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 '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;
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 lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and 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 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.
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 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.
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 '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;
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 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.
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 speaketh with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
Ko mi je govoril takšne besede, sem pobesil svoj obraz proti tlom in postal nem.
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.
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 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.
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 'And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth me,
Potem je ponovno prišel in se me dotaknil nekdo, podoben videzu človeka, me okrepil
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.
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 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;
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 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.
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.«
