< Daniel 10 >

1 Iti maikatlo a tawen a panagturay ni Ciro nga ari ti Persia, maysa a mensahe ti naipaltiing kenni Daniel, (a maawagan pay iti Beltesazar) ket pudno daytoy a mensahe. Maipanggep daytoy iti dakkel a gubat. Naawatan ni Daniel ti mensahe idi naaddaan isuna iti pannakaawat iti sirmata.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true, even a great warfare; and he gave heed to the word, and had understanding of the vision.
2 Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, siak a ni Daniel ket nagladladingit iti las-ud iti tallo a lawas.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three whole weeks.
3 Saanak a nangnangan iti naiimas a taraon, iti karne, saanak nga immin-inom iti arak, ken saanak a nagsapsapo iti lana agingga a maturpos ti tallo a lawas.
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.
4 Iti maikaduapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti umuna a bulan, bayat ti kaaddak iti igid ti dakkel a karayan (nga isu ti Tigris),
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,
5 timmangadak ket nakakitaak iti maysa a tao a nakakawes iti lino, nakabarikes isuna iti barikes a puro a balitok a nagtaud iti Ufaz.
I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;
6 Naraniag ti bagina a kasla iti topaz, naraniag ti rupana a kasla iti kimat, kasla umap-apuy a pagsilawan dagiti matana, kasla napasileng a gambang dagiti takkiag ken sakana, ket kasla ariwawa ti nakaad-adu a tattao ti timekna.
his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 Siak laeng a ni Daniel ti nakakita iti sirmata, ta saan a nakita dagiti lallaki a kadduak ti sirmata. Nupay kasta, nagbutengda iti kasta unay, ket nagtarayda a naglemmeng.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; howbeit a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 Isu a siak laeng ti nabati ken nakakita iti daytoy a naisangsangayan a sirmata. Napakapsutannak unay; nakabutbuteng ti panagbaliw iti naraniag a langak; ket napakapsutannak unay.
So that 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.
9 Ket nangngegko dagiti saona - ket bayat a mangmangegko nga agsasaoda, naawananak iti puot ket natuangak a papakleb iti daga.
Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 Maysa nga ima ti nangsagid kaniak, ket pinagkutukotna dagiti tumengko ken pinagpigergerna dagiti imak.
And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me tottering upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 Kinuna ti anghel kaniak, “Daniel, sika a tao a dungdungoen unay ti Dios, awatem dagiti sasao nga ibagbagak kenka, ket tumakderka, ta naibaonak nga umay kenka.” Idi naibagana daytoy a sao kaniak, agpigpigergerak a timmakder.
And he said unto me: 'O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, give heed unto the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for now am I sent unto thee'; and when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Ket kinunana kaniak, “Saanka nga agbuteng Daniel. Manipud idi umuna nga aldaw nga inkeddengmo a mang-awat iti sirmata ken agpakumbabaka iti sangoanan ti Diosmo, naipangag dagiti saom, ket immayak gapu kadagiti saom.
Then said he unto me: 'Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard; and I am come because of thy words.
13 Linapdannak ti prinsipe iti pagarian ti Persia, ket nagtalinaedak sadiay kadagiti ar-ari ti Persia iti las-ud ti duapulo ket maysa nga aldaw. Ngem immaynak tinulongan ni Miguel, maysa kadagiti kangatoan a prinsipe.
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 was left over there beside the kings of Persia.
14 Ita, immayak tapno tulonganka a mang-awat no ania ti mapasamak kadagiti tattaom iti maudi nga al-aldaw. Ta ti sirmata ket para kadagiti masungad pay laeng nga al-aldaw.”
Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the end of days; for there is yet a vision for the days.'
15 Idi insaona kaniak dagitoy, nagdumogak ken saanak a makasao.
And when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
16 Maysa a kaas-asping ti tao ti nangsagid kadagiti bibigko, ket inungapko ti ngiwatko ket nagsaoak kenkuana a nakatakder iti sangoanak, “Apok, pinagbutengnak ti sirmata, ket napakapsutanak unay.
And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said unto him that stood before me: 'O my lord, by reason of the vision my pains are come upon me, and I retain no strength.
17 Siak ket adipenmo. Kasanoak a makisao iti apok? Ta napakapsutanak unayen ket saanak a makaanges.”
For how can this servant of my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.'
18 Sinagid ken pinapigsanak ti kaas-asping ti tao.
Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.
19 Kinunana, “Tao nga ay-ayaten unay ti Dios, saanka nga agbuteng. Kappia koma ti adda kenka. Bumilegka ita; bumilegka!” Idi nagsao isuna kaniak, pimmigsaak ket kinunak, “Agsao koma ti apok, ta pinapigsanak.”
And he said: 'O man greatly beloved, fear not! peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said: 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.'
20 Kinunana, “Ammom kadi no apay nga immayak kenka? Agsubliak ita tapno makirangetak a maibusor iti prinsipe ti Persia. Inton rummuarak, umayto ti prinsipe ti Grecia.
Then said he: Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.
21 Ngem ibagak kenka ti nakasurat iti Libro ti Kinapudno - awan ti siasinoman a mangipakpakita a nabilegda malaksid kaniak, malaksid kenni Miguel a prinsipeyo.”
Howbeit I will declare unto thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth; and there is none that holdeth with me against these, except Michael your prince.
