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 Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood the word, and had understanding of the vision.
2 В тыя дни аз Даниил бех рыдая три седмицы дний:
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.
3 хлеба вожделеннаго не ядох, и мясо и вино не вниде во уста моя, и мастию не помазахся до исполнения триех седмиц дний.
I had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 В день двадесять четвертый перваго месяца аз бех близ реки великия, яже есть Тигр Еддекель,
In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is the Tigris,
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 look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from 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.
His body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound 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.
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on them, and 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.
So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
9 И слышах глас словес его. И внегда слышах, бех сокрушен, лице же мое на земли:
Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep 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.
Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on 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.
He said to me, "Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood 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:
Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your 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 withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia.
14 и приидох сказати тебе, елика срящут людий твоих в последния дни, яко еще видение на дни.
Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future days."
15 И егда глагола со мною по словесем сим, дах лице мое на землю и умилихся.
And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
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 look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have 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.
For how can this servant of my lord talk with my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
18 И приложи, и прикоснуся мне яко зрак человечь, и укрепи мя,
Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again and 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, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have 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 he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, the prince of Greece shall come.
21 но да возвешу ти вчиненое в писании истины, инесть ни единаго помогающаго со мною о сих, но точию Михаил князь ваш.
But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them except Michael, your prince."
