Книга пророка Даниила 10
1 В лето третие Кира царя Персскаго, слово открыся Даниилу, емуже прозвася имя Валтасар: истинно же слово и сила велика и разум дадеся ему в видении.
In the third year of Cyrus the king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word is the truth, but the time appointed is long off: and he noted the word, and took notice of it in the appearance.
2 В тыя дни аз Даниил бех рыдая три седмицы дний:
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 хлеба вожделеннаго не ядох, и мясо и вино не вниде во уста моя, и мастию не помазахся до исполнения триех седмиц дний.
Costly food did I not eat, and flesh and wine came not in my mouth, nor did I at all anoint myself, till three whole weeks were elapsed.
4 В день двадесять четвертый перваго месяца аз бех близ реки великия, яже есть Тигр Еддекель,
And on the four and twentieth day of the first month, while I was by the side of the great river, which is Chiddekel,
5 и воздвигох очи мои и видех, и се, муж един облечен в ризу льняну, и чресла его препоясана златом светлым:
I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold there was a certain man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;
6 тело же его аки фарсис, лице же его аки зрение молнии, очи же его аки свещы огнены, и мышцы его и голени аки зрак меди блещащияся, глас же словес его аки глас народа.
And his body was also like the chrysolite, and his face, like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like torches of fire, and his arms and his feet, like the color of polished copper, and the sound of his words was like the noise of a multitude.
7 И видех аз Даниил един явление, а мужие, иже со мною, не видеша явления, но ужас великий нападе на них, и отбегнуша во страсе.
And I Daniel saw alone this appearance; but the men that were with me did not see the appearance: nevertheless a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Аз же остах един и видех явление великое сие, и не оста во мне крепость, и слава моя обратися в разсыпание, и не удержах крепости.
And I was left by myself alone, and I saw this great appearance, and there remained no strength in me; and my healthy color was changed on me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9 И слышах глас словес его. И внегда слышах, бех сокрушен, лице же мое на земли:
Then heard I the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I sank in amazement on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 и се, рука прикасающися мне, и возстави мя на колена моя и на длани рук моих.
And, behold, a hand touched me, and it moved me upon my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 И рече ко мне: Данииле, мужу желаний, разумей во словесех сих, яже аз глаголю к тебе, и стани на стоянии своем, яко ныне послан есмь к тебе. И егда возглагола слово сие ко мне, востах трепетен.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, the man greatly beloved, mark well the words that I speak unto thee, and stand on thy standing-place; for now have I been sent unto thee. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood up trembling.
12 И рече ко мне: не бойся, Данииле, яко от перваго дне, в оньже подал еси сердце твое, еже разумети и трудитися пред Господем Богом твоим, услышана быша словеса твоя, аз же приидох во словесех твоих:
And he said unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to obtain understanding, and to fast before thy God, were thy words heard: and I am come in consequence of thy words.
13 князь же царства Персскаго стояше противу мне двадесять и един день: и се Михаил един от старейшин первых прииде помощи мне, и того оставих тамо со князем царства Персскаго,
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood up against me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I obtained the victory there with the kings of Persia.
14 и приидох сказати тебе, елика срящут людий твоих в последния дни, яко еще видение на дни.
Now am I come to make thee understand what is to befall thy people, in the latter days; for the vision is yet for the [coming] days.
15 И егда глагола со мною по словесем сим, дах лице мое на землю и умилихся.
And when he spoke unto me such words, I directed my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
16 И се, аки подобие сына человеча прикоснуся устнам моим, и отверзох уста моя и глаголах, и рех ко стоящему предо мною: господи, в видении твоем обратися утроба моя во мне, и не имех силы:
And, behold, something like the form of the sons of men touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and I spoke, and said unto him that stood opposite to me, O my lord, because of the appearance my pains suddenly overcame me, and I have retained no strength.
17 и како возможет раб твой господи, глаголати с господем сим моим? Аз бо изнемогох, и отныне не станет во мне крепость, (сила бо) и дыхание не оста во мне.
And how shall the servant of this my lord be able to speak with this my lord? And as for me, from that moment there remained no strength in me, and no breath was left in me.
18 И приложи, и прикоснуся мне яко зрак человечь, и укрепи мя,
Then there touched me again something like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me;
19 и рече ми: не бойся, мужу желаний, мир тебе: мужайся и крепися и егда глагола со мною, укрепихся и рех: да глаголет господь мой яко укрепил мя еси.
And he said, Fear not, O man greatly beloved: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spoke with me, I felt myself strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 И рече: веси ли, почто приидох к тебе? И ныне возвращуся, еже ратися со князем Персским: аз же исхождах, князь же Еллинский грядяше:
Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and as I am going forth, lo, the prince of Javan is coming.
21 но да возвешу ти вчиненое в писании истины, инесть ни единаго помогающаго со мною о сих, но точию Михаил князь ваш.
Nevertheless will I tell thee what is noted down in the writing of truth: —and there is none that holdeth with me [to assist me] against those, except Michael your prince.
