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 king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
2 В тыя дни аз Даниил бех рыдая три седмицы дний:
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning 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 ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t 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 twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
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 man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure 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.
His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice 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 didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking 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. No strength remained in me; for my face 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 voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face towards the ground.
10 и се, рука прикасающися мне, и возстави мя на колена моя и на длани рук моих.
Behold, 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, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” 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, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
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, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained 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 will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
15 И егда глагола со мною по словесем сим, дах лице мое на землю и умилихся.
When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face towards the ground and was mute.
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:
Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain 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 the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
18 И приложи, и прикоснуся мне яко зрак человечь, и укрепи мя,
Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, 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.
He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, 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 out, behold, the prince of Greece will 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 writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
