Daniel 10
1 El tercer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, fue revelada Palabra a Daniel, llamado Beltsasar, Palabra verdadera con respecto a un gran conflicto. Él comprendió la Palabra y tuvo inteligencia en la visión.
In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a secret was unfolded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a hard work: and he had knowledge of it, and the vision was clear to him.
2 En aquellos días, yo, Daniel, estuve afligido por espacio de tres semanas.
In those days I, Daniel, gave myself up to grief for three full weeks.
3 No comí manjar delicado, ni carne ni vino entraron en mi boca, ni me ungí con ungüento, hasta que se cumplieron tres semanas completas.
I had no pleasing food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, and I put no oil on my body till three full weeks were ended.
4 El día 24 del mes primero yo estaba en la orilla del gran río Hidequel.
And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was by the side of the great river;
5 Al levantar mis ojos miré, y vi a un varón vestido de lino blanco, ceñida su cintura con oro de Ufaz.
And lifting up my eyes I saw the form of a man clothed in a linen robe, and round him there was a band of gold, of the best gold:
6 Su cuerpo era como crisólito, su rostro como un relámpago y sus ojos como antorchas de fuego. Sus brazos y pies tenían la refulgencia del bronce incandescente, y el sonido de sus palabras era como el estruendo de una multitud.
And his body was like the beryl, and his face had the look of a thunder-flame, and his eyes were like burning lights, and his arms and feet like the colour of polished brass, and the sound of his voice was like the sound of an army.
7 Solo yo, Daniel, vi aquella visión. Los hombres que estaban conmigo no la vieron. Pero un gran temor cayó sobre ellos, y huyeron para esconderse.
And I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it; but a great shaking came on them and they went in flight to take cover.
8 Yo quedé solo y vi esta gran visión. No quedó fuerza en mí, porque mi vigor se cambió en fragilidad. Me quedé sin vigor.
So I was by myself, and I saw this great vision, and all my strength went from me; and the colour went from my face.
9 Pero oí el sonido de sus palabras. Y al oírlo, me postré en tierra con un sueño profundo.
But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth.
10 Sin embargo, una mano me tocó. Temblaba y me puso sobre mis manos y mis rodillas.
Then a hand gave me a touch, awaking me, and putting me on my knees and my hands.
11 Y me dijo: Daniel, varón muy amado, está atento a las palabras que te hablaré. Ponte derecho sobre tus pies, porque ahora fui enviado a ti. Y cuando me dijo esa palabra, me puse en pie y temblaba.
And he said to me, O Daniel, you man dearly loved, take in the sense of the words I say to you and get up on to your feet: for to you I am now sent; and when he had said this to me I got on to my feet, shaking with fear.
12 Me dijo: Daniel, no temas, porque desde el primer día cuando dispusiste tu corazón para entender y humillarte ante tu ʼElohim, tus palabras fueron oídas, y vine a causa de ellas.
Then he said to me, Have no fear, Daniel; for from the first day when you gave your heart to getting wisdom and making yourself poor in spirit before your God, your words have come to his ears: and I have come because of your words.
13 Pero el príncipe del reino de Persia se me opuso 21 días. Pero mira, Miguel, uno de los principales arcángeles, vino para ayudarme, y yo quedé allí con los reyes de Persia.
But the angel of the kingdom of Persia put himself against me for twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief angels, came to my help; and when I came he was still there with the angel of the kings of Persia.
14 Vine para informarte lo que vendrá a tu pueblo en los últimos días, porque la visión es para aquellos días.
Now I have come to give you knowledge of the fate of your people in the later days; for there is still a vision for the days.
15 Mientras él me decía estas palabras, yo volví mi rostro hacia la tierra y enmudecí.
And after he had said these words to me, I kept my face turned to the earth and was unable to say anything.
16 Pero ciertamente uno que parecía un ser humano tocó mis labios. Entonces abrí mi boca y hablé, y dije al que estaba delante de mí: ʼadón mío, a causa de la visión me vinieron dolores y no retuve fuerza.
Then one whose form was like the sons of men put his finger on my lips; and opening my mouth, I said to him who was before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have come on me, and I have no more strength.
17 ¿Cómo puede el esclavo de mi ʼadón hablar con mi ʼadón? Porque en cuanto a mí, ahora mismo no me queda fuerza ni aliento.
For how may this servant of my lord have talk with my lord? for, as for me, straight away my strength went from me and there was no breath in my body.
18 Entonces, aquel que tenía semejanza de hombre me tocó otra vez, me fortaleció
Then again one having the form of a man put his hand on me and gave me strength.
19 y me dijo: Muy amado, no temas. La paz sea contigo. Esfuérzate y aliéntate. Y mientras él me hablaba, recobré las fuerzas y dije: Que hable mi ʼadón, porque me fortaleciste.
And he said to me, O man greatly loved, have no fear: peace be with you, be strong and let your heart be lifted up. And at his words I became strong, and said, Let my lord say on, for you have given me strength.
20 Entonces él preguntó: ¿Entiendes por qué vine a ti? Ahora tengo que volver para luchar contra el príncipe de Persia, y ciertamente el príncipe de Grecia viene pronto.
Then he said, It is clear to you why I have come to you. And now I will give you an account of what is recorded in the true writings:
21 Pero te declararé lo que está escrito en el rollo de la verdad. Nadie me ayuda contra ellos, sino Miguel, el príncipe de ustedes.
But I am going back to make war with the angel of Persia, and when I am gone, the angel of Greece will come. And there is no one on my side against these, but Michael, your angel.
