< Daniel 10 >

1 V tretjem letu perzijskega kralja Kira je bila stvar razodeta Danielu, katerega ime je bilo imenovano Beltšacár. Stvar je bila resnična, toda določeni čas je bil dolg, in razumel je stvar in imel je razumevanje videnja.
In the third year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, a message was revealed to Daniel, called Belteshazzar, and a true word, and great strength. And he understood the message, for understanding is needed in a vision.
2 V tistih dneh sem jaz, Daniel, žaloval tri polne tedne.
In those days, I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks of days.
3 Nisem jedel nobenega prijetnega kruha, niti ni prišlo v moja usta meso, niti vino, niti se sploh nisem mazilil, dokler niso bili izpolnjeni dnevi treh tednov.
I ate no desirable bread, and neither meat, nor wine, entered my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment, until the three weeks of days were completed.
4 Na štiriindvajseti dan prvega meseca, medtem ko sem bil ob bregu velike reke, ki je Hidekel,
But on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was next to the great river, which is the Tigris.
5 takrat sem povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, neki mož, oblečen v platno, čigar ledja so bila opasana s finim zlatom iz Ufaza.
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, one man clothed in linen, and his waist was wrapped with the finest gold,
6 Tudi njegovo telo je bilo podobno berilu in njegov obraz kakor videz bliskanja in njegove oči kakor ognjene svetilke in njegovi lakti in njegova stopala podobna barvi zloščenega brona in glas njegovih besed podoben glasu množice.
and his body was like the golden stone, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes that of a burning lamp, and his arms and all that is downward all the way to the feet had the appearance of glowing brass, and his speaking voice was like the voice of a multitude.
7 Samo jaz, Daniel, sem videl videnje, kajti ljudje, ki so bili z menoj, videnja niso videli, toda nanje je padlo veliko drgetanje, tako da so zbežali, da se poskrijejo.
But I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it, but an exceedingly great terror rushed over them, and they fled into hiding.
8 Torej sem ostal sam in gledal to veliko videnje in v meni ni ostalo nobene moči, kajti moja ljubkost je bila v meni spremenjena v pokvarjenost in nobene moči nisem ohranil.
And I, having been left alone, saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me, moreover, my appearance was altered, and I languished, not having any strength.
9 Vendar sem zaslišal glas njegovih besed. Ko sem poslušal glas njegovih besed, sem bil potem v globokem spanju na svojem obrazu in s svojim obrazom proti tlom.
And I heard the voice of his words, and when I heard, I lay down in confusion on my face, and my face was close to the ground.
10 Glej, dotaknila se me je roka, ki me je postavila na moja kolena in na dlani mojih rok.
And behold, a hand touched me, and raised me onto my knees and the knuckles of my hands.
11 Rekel mi je: »Oh Daniel, silno ljubljen mož, razumi besede, ki ti jih govorim in stoj pokončno, kajti sedaj sem poslan k tebi.« In ko mi je govoril to besedo, sem trepetajoč stal.
And he said to me, “Daniel, man of longing, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand yourself upright, for I am now sent to you.” And when he had said these words to me, I stood trembling.
12 Potem mi je rekel: »Ne boj se, Daniel, kajti od prvega dne, ko si pripravil svoje srce k razumevanju in da se ponižaš pred svojim Bogom, so bile tvoje besede uslišane in prišel sem zaradi tvojih besed.
And he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, because from the first day that you set your heart to understand, by afflicting yourself in the sight of your God, your words have been heeded, and I have arrived because of your words.
13 Toda princ perzijskega kraljestva se mi je zoperstavljal enaindvajset dni. Toda glej, prišel je Mihael, eden izmed glavnih princev, da mi pomaga, in ostal sem tam s perzijskimi kralji.
But the leader of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me for twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, one of the primary leaders, came to help me, and I remained there next to the king of the Persians.
14 Sedaj sem prišel, da ti dam razumevanje, kaj bo doletelo tvoje ljudstvo v zadnjih dneh, kajti videnje je še za mnoge dni.«
But I have come to teach you what will happen to your people in the latter days, because the vision is for a long time from now.”
15 Ko mi je govoril takšne besede, sem pobesil svoj obraz proti tlom in postal nem.
And while he was speaking words to me in this way, I cast my face down to the ground and was silent.
16 Glej, nekdo podoben človeškim sinovom, se je dotaknil mojih ustnic. Potem sem odprl svoja usta in spregovoril ter rekel temu, ki je stal pred menoj: »Oh moj gospod, po videnju so se moje bridkosti obrnile k meni in nisem ohranil nobene moči.
And behold, something in the likeness of a son of man touched my lips. Then, opening my mouth, I spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, at the sight of you, my limbs became weak and no strength has remained in me.
17 Kajti kako lahko služabnik tega mojega gospoda govori s tem mojim gospodom? Kajti kar se mene tiče, nemudoma v meni ni ostalo nobene moči niti v meni ni ostalo diha.«
And so, how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? For no strength remains in me; and even my breathing is hindered.”
18 Potem je ponovno prišel in se me dotaknil nekdo, podoben videzu človeka, me okrepil
Therefore, he who looked like a man, touched me again and strengthened me.
19 in rekel: »Oh silno ljubljeni mož, ne boj se. Mir ti bodi, bodi močan, da, bodi močan.« Ko mi je govoril, sem bil okrepljen in rekel [sem]: »Naj moj gospod govori, kajti okrepil si me.«
And he said, “Fear not, O man of longing. May peace be with you. Take courage and be strong.” And when he spoke to me, I recovered, and I said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Potem je rekel: »Ali veš zakaj sem prišel k tebi? Sedaj se bom vrnil, da se borim s princem Perzije. Ko odidem, glej, bo prišel princ Grčije.
And he said, “Do you not know why I have come to you? And next I will return, to fight against the leader of the Persians. When I was leaving, there appeared the leader of the Greeks arriving.
21 Toda pokazal ti bom to, kar je zabeleženo v pismu resnice, in tam ni nikogar, ki drži z menoj v teh stvareh, razen Mihaela, vašega princa.«
But, in truth, I announce to you what is expressed in the scripture of truth. And no one is my helper in all these things, except Michael your leader.”
