دانیال 10
| در سال سوم سلطنت کوروش، پادشاه پارس، دانیال که به او بلطشصر هم می‌گفتند، رؤیایی دیگر دید و تعبیر آن به او آشکار شد. این رؤیا دربارهٔ یک جنگ بزرگ بود که در آینده به وقوع می‌پیوست. | 1 |
During the third year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, I Daniel, [who had been given the] name Belteshazzar, received [another] message [from God]. The message was true, but it was very difficult for me to understand it. But [later] I understood the message because of the vision that I had seen.
| در آن روزها من، دانیال، سه هفتهٔ تمام در ماتم بودم. | 2 |
At that time I had been sad for three weeks [about what had happened to Jerusalem].
| در این مدت نه خوراک کافی خوردم، نه لب به گوشت و شراب زدم و نه ظاهرم را آراستم. | 3 |
I did not eat any tasty food or any meat or drink any wine. I did not even put any perfumed oil on my [face or hair] for those three weeks.
| روز بیست و چهارم اولین ماه سال در کنار رود بزرگ دجله ایستاده بودم. | 4 |
[When those three weeks ended, ] on April 23, [my companions and] I were standing on the bank of the great Tigris River.
| وقتی به بالا نگاه کردم ناگهان مردی را دیدم که لباس کتان پوشیده و کمربندی از طلای خالص به کمر بسته بود. بدن او مانند گوهر می‌درخشید، صورتش برق می‌زد و چشمانش مثل شعله‌های آتش بود. بازوها و پاهایش مانند مفرغ صیقلی شده و صدایش شبیه غوغای گروه‌های بی‌شمار مردم بود. | 5 |
I looked up and saw someone there who was wearing fine white/linen clothes and a belt [made of] pure gold.
| 6 |
His body [shone] like a precious beryl stone. His face was as [bright as] a flash of lightning. His eyes [were/shone] like flaming torches. His arms and legs [shone] like polished bronze. And his voice was [very loud], like the roar of a huge crowd.
| از آن عده‌ای که در آنجا ایستاده بودیم، تنها من، دانیال، آن رؤیا را دیدم. آنچنان ترسی همراهان مرا فرا گرفت که گریختند و خود را پنهان کردند. | 7 |
I, Daniel, was the only one who saw this vision. The men who were with me did not see anything, but [they sensed that someone was there, and they] became terrified. They ran away and hid themselves.
| من تنها ماندم و به آن رؤیای حیرت‌انگیز چشم دوختم. رنگم پریده بود و رمق و توانی در من نمانده بود. | 8 |
So I was left there by myself, looking at this very unusual vision. I had no strength left. My face became very pale, with the result that no one would have recognized me.
| وقتی آن مرد با من سخن گفت من روی خاک افتادم و از حال رفتم. | 9 |
I saw a man there, and when I heard him speak, I fell to the ground. I (fainted/became unconscious), [and I lay there] with my face on the ground.
| اما دستی مرا لمس نمود و مرا بر دستها و زانوهای لرزانم بلند کرد. | 10 |
Suddenly someone’s hand took hold of me and lifted me, with the result that I was on my hands and knees, [but I was still] trembling.
| او به من گفت: «ای دانیال، ای مرد محبوب خدا، برخیز و به آنچه می‌خواهم به تو بگویم با دقت گوش بده! زیرا برای همین نزد تو فرستاده شده‌ام.» پس در حالی که هنوز می‌لرزیدم سر پا ایستادم. | 11 |
The man said to me, “Daniel, [God] loves you very much. Stand up and listen to what I am going to say to you, because [God] sent me to you.” When he said that, I stood up, [but I was still] trembling.
| سپس او گفت: «ای دانیال، نترس! چون از همان روز اول که در حضور خدای خود روزه گرفتی و از او خواستی تا به تو فهم بدهد، درخواست تو شنیده شد و خدا همان روز مرا نزد تو فرستاد. | 12 |
Then he said to me, “Daniel, do not be afraid. God has heard what you have prayed ever since the first day that you determined to humble yourself in order to understand [the vision]. I have come to you because of what you prayed.
| اما فرشته‌ای که بر مملکت پارس حکمرانی می‌کند بیست و یک روز با من مقاومت کرد و مانع آمدن من شد. سرانجام میکائیل که یکی از فرشتگان اعظم است، به یاری من آمد | 13 |
The [evil spirit who] rules the kingdom of Persia resisted/hindered me for 21 days, but Michael, who is one of God’s chief angels, came to help me. I left him there in Persia [to resist] that evil spirit who rules there.
| و من توانستم به اینجا بیایم تا به تو بگویم که در آینده برای قومت چه روی خواهد داد؛ زیرا این رؤیا مربوط به آینده است.» | 14 |
I have come here to enable you to understand what will happen to the Israeli people in the future. [Do not forget that] the vision [that you saw] is about [things that will happen in] the distant future, [not about things that will happen very soon].”
| تمام این مدت سرم را به زیر انداخته بودم و نمی‌توانستم کلمه‌ای حرف بزنم. | 15 |
While he was saying that, I stared at the ground and was unable to say anything [because I was very afraid].
| آنگاه آن فرستاده که شبیه انسان بود لبهایم را لمس کرد تا توانستم باز سخن بگویم. من به او گفتم: «ای سرورم، این رؤیا به قدری مرا به وحشت انداخته که دیگر قوتی در من نمانده است؛ | 16 |
Suddenly [the angel], who resembled a human, touched my lips. Then [I was able to speak, and] I said to him, “Sir, because [I have seen] this vision, I have become very weak, with the result that I cannot stop trembling.
| پس چگونه می‌توانم با شما حرف بزنم؟ دیگر توان ندارم و به سختی نفس می‌کشم.» | 17 |
I am not able [RHQ] to talk to you, my master. I have no strength left, and it is very difficult for me to breathe.”
| او باز مرا لمس کرد و من قوت گرفتم. | 18 |
But he took hold of me again, and enabled me to become stronger again.
| او گفت: «ای مرد محبوب خدا، نترس! سلامتی بر تو باد! دلیر و قوی باش!» وقتی این را گفت قوت گرفتم. سپس گفتم: «ای سرورم، حال، سخن بگویید، زیرا به من قوت دادید.» | 19 |
He said to me, “You human, God loves you very much. [So] do not be afraid. I desire/want things to go well for you and that you will be encouraged.” When he had said that, I felt even stronger, and I said, “Sir, tell me [what you want to tell me]. You have enabled me to feel stronger.”
| او گفت: «می‌دانی چرا نزد تو آمده‌ام؟ آمده‌ام تا بگویم در”کتاب حق“چه نوشته شده است. وقتی از نزد تو بازگردم، به جنگ فرشته‌ای که بر پارس حکمرانی می‌کند خواهم رفت و پس از او با فرشته‌ای که بر یونان حکمرانی می‌کند خواهم جنگید. در این جنگها فقط میکائیل، نگهبان قوم اسرائیل، مرا یاری خواهد کرد.» | 20 |
Then he said, “(Do you know why I came to you?/I will tell you why I came to you.) [RHQ] It is to reveal to you what is written in the book which reveals/contains God’s truth. But now I must return to fight against [the evil spirit] who rules the kingdom of Persia. After I have defeated him, [the evil angel] who guards Greece will appear [and I must defeat him]. Michael, who guards you [Israeli people], will help me, but there is no one else to help me.”
