౧పారసీకరాజు కోరెషు పరిపాలన కాలంలో మూడవ సంవత్సరంలో బెల్తెషాజరు అనే దానియేలుకు ఒక సంగతి వెల్లడి అయింది. గొప్ప యుద్ధం జరుగుతుంది అనే ఆ సంగతి నిజమే. దానియేలు దాన్ని గ్రహించాడు. అది ఆ దర్శనం వలన అతనికి తెలిసింది.
2 ၂ ထိုအခါ၌ငါဒံယေလသည်သီတင်း သုံးပတ်တိုင်တိုင် ဝမ်းနည်းပူဆွေးလျက် နေ၏။-
౨ఆ రోజుల్లో దానియేలు అనే నేను మూడు వారాలు దుఃఖంలో మునిగి పోయాను.
3 ၃ မွန်မြတ်သောအစာသို့မဟုတ်အသားကို မစား၊ စပျစ်ရည်ကိုမသောက်၊ ခေါင်းမဖြီး ဘဲသီတင်းသုံးပတ်ကုန်ဆုံးချိန်တိုင်အောင် နေ၏။
౩మూడు వారాలు గడిచే దాకా నేను సంతోషంగా భోజనం చేయలేకపోయాను. మాంసం తినలేదు. ద్రాక్షారసం తాగ లేదు. స్నానం, నూనె రాసుకోవడం చేయలేదు.
4 ၄ ထိုနှစ်ပထမလ၊ နှစ်ဆယ့်လေးရက်မြောက် သောနေ့၌ ငါသည်တိဂရစ်မြစ်ကြီး၏ ကမ်းပါးပေါ်တွင်ရပ်လျက်နေ၏။-
౪మొదటి నెల ఇరవై నాలుగవ తేది నేను హిద్దెకెలు అనే మహా నది తీరాన ఉన్నాను.
5 ၅ မော်၍ကြည့်လိုက်သောအခါပိတ်ချော အင်္ကျီကိုဝတ်၍ ရွှေခါးပတ်ကိုပတ်ထား သူလူတစ်ယောက်ကိုငါမြင်ရ၏။-
౫నేను కళ్ళెత్తి చూడగా, నారబట్టలు ధరించుకున్న ఒకడు కనిపించాడు. అతడు నడుముకు మేలిమి బంగారు నడికట్టు కట్టుకుని ఉన్నాడు.
6 ၆ သူ၏ခန္ဓာကိုယ်သည်ကျောက်မျက်ရတနာ ကဲ့သို့တောက်ပ၏။ သူ၏မျက်နှာသည်လျှပ် စစ်နွယ်ကဲ့သို့ပြောင်လက်လျက် သူ၏မျက်စိ များသည်မီးကဲ့သို့အလျှံထလျက်နေ၏။ သူ၏လက်ခြေတို့သည် တိုက်ချွတ်ထားသော ကြေးဝါကဲ့သို့တောက်ပ၍ သူ၏အသံ သည်လူပရိတ်သတ်ကြီး၏အော်ဟစ်သံ နှင့်တူ၏။
౬అతని శరీరం కెంపు వర్ణంలో ఉంది. అతని ముఖం మెరుపులాగా ఉంది. అతని కళ్ళు జ్వాలామయమైన దీపాలు, అతని భుజాలు, పాదాలు తళతళలాడే ఇత్తడిలాగా ఉన్నాయి. అతని మాటల ధ్వని గొప్ప జనఘోష లాగా ఉంది.
7 ၇ ထိုဗျာဒိတ်ရူပါရုံကိုငါဒံယေလတစ် ယောက်တည်းသာမြင်ရ၏။ ငါနှင့်အတူ ရှိသောသူတို့သည်အဘယ်အရာကိုမျှ မမြင်ကြရ။ သို့ရာတွင်သူတို့သည် ထိတ် လန့်တုန်လှုပ်လျက်ထွက်ပြေးပုန်းအောင်း နေကြ၏။-
౭దానియేలు అనే నాకు ఈ దర్శనం కలిగినప్పుడు నాతో ఉన్న మనుషులు దాన్ని చూడలేదు గానీ భయంతో గడగడా వణుకుతూ దాక్కోవాలని పారిపోయారు.
8 ၈ ငါတစ်ဦးတည်းသာလျှင်ထိုအံ့သြဖွယ် ကောင်းသည့်ဗျာဒိတ်ရူပါရုံကိုကြည့် လျက်ကျန်ရစ်၏။ ငါသည်အားပြတ်၍ အဘယ်သူမျှမမှတ်မိနိုင်လောက်အောင် ငါ၏မျက်နှာသည်အသွင်ပြောင်းသွား၏။ အကူအညီမဲ့လျက်ရှိ၏။-
౮నేను ఒంటరిగా ఆ గొప్ప దర్శనాన్ని చూశాను. అందువల్ల నాలో బలమేమీ లేకపోయింది. నా సొగసు వికారమై పోయింది. నాలో బలమేమీ లేకపోయింది.
9 ၉ ထိုသူ၏စကားသံကိုကြားသောအခါ ငါသည်မြေပေါ်သို့ဝမ်းလျားမှောက်လဲ ကျကာသတိမေ့လျက်နေ၏။-
౯నేను అతని మాటలు విన్నాను. నేను అతని మాటలు విని నేలపై సాష్టాంగపడి గాఢనిద్ర పోయాను.
10 ၁၀ ထိုအခါလက်တစ်ဖက်သည်ငါ့ကိုကိုင်ဆွဲ ချီကြွသဖြင့် ငါသည်လေးဘက်ထောက် လျက်နေ၏။ ငါသည်တုန်လှုပ်လျက်ပင်ရှိ နေသေး၏။
౧౦అప్పుడొకడు నన్ను చేత్తో తాకి నా మోకాళ్లను అరచేతులను నేలపై మోపి నన్ను నిలబెట్టి

౧౩పారసీకుల రాజ్యాధిపతి 20 రోజులు నాకు అడ్డుపడ్డాడు. ఇంకా పారసీక రాజుల దగ్గర నేను ఆగిపోయి ఉండగా ప్రధానాధిపతుల్లో మిఖాయేలు అనే ఒకడు నాకు సహాయం చేయడానికి వచ్చాడు.
