< 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 matter, was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and faithful was the matter, but [concerned] a great warfare, and he marked the word, and had understanding in the revelation.
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 sevens of days:
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.
food to delight in, did I not eat, neither flesh nor wine, came into my mouth, nor did I so much as, anoint, myself, —until were fulfilled three sevens of days.
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, on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, —when, I, was by the side of the great river, the same, 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.
then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and lo! a man, clothed in linen, —whose loins, were girded with the bright 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.
whose body, was like Tarshish-stone, and, his face, like the appearance of lightning, and, his eyes, were like torches of fire, and, his arms and his feet, like the look of bronze burnished, —and, the sound of his words, was like the sound 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, beheld the revelation, and, the men who were with me, beheld not the revelation, —in truth, a great terror, had fallen upon them, and they had fled while hiding 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.
I, therefore, was left alone, and beheld this great revelation, and there remained in me no strength, —but, my freshness, was turned upon me into disfigurement, 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.
So then I heard the sound of his words, —and, when I heard the sound of his words, then, I myself, came to be in a deep sleep upon my face, with, my face, to the earth.
10 Maysa nga ima ti nangsagid kaniak, ket pinagkutukotna dagiti tumengko ken pinagpigergerna dagiti imak.
And lo! a hand, touched me; and roused me up on my knees and 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.
Then said he unto me, O Daniel! man greatly delighted in! have understanding in the words which, I, am about to speak unto thee, and stand up where thou art, for, now, have I been sent unto thee. And, when he had spoken with me this word, I stood up 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, Do not fear, 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, by reason 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 ruler of the kingdom of Persia, withstood me twenty-one days, but lo! Michael, one of the chief rulers, came in to help me, —and, I, left him 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.”
So then I am come to let thee understand that which shall befall thy people in the afterpart of the days, —for yet is the vision for [those] days.
15 Idi insaona kaniak dagitoy, nagdumogak ken saanak a makasao.
And, when he had spoken with me such words as these, —I set my face towards the earth, 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.
Then lo! like the similitude of the sons of men, one was touching my lips, —so I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him who was standing before me, O my lord! By the revelation, my pains have seized me, and I retain no strength.
17 Siak ket adipenmo. Kasanoak a makisao iti apok? Ta napakapsutanak unayen ket saanak a makaanges.”
How then can the servant of this my lord speak with this my lord, —seeing that, as for me—henceforth, there remaineth in me no strength, and no, spirit, is left in me?
18 Sinagid ken pinapigsanak ti kaas-asping ti tao.
Then again there touched me one like in appearance to a son of earth, 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, Do not fear, O man greatly delighted in! peace to thee, be strong, yea be strong! And, as he spake with me, I gained strength, 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.
And he said, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? But, now, must I return to fight with the ruler of Persia; I, therefore am going forth, and lo! the ruler of Greece, is coming.
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 tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth, —but there is no one who holdeth strongly with me concerning these things, save Michael your ruler.
