Daniel 10
1 En el tercer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, fue revelada palabra a Daniel cuyo nombre era Baltasar; y la palabra era verdadera, y el plazo grande: la cual palabra él entendió, y tuvo inteligencia en la visión.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he has understood the thing, and has understanding about the appearance.
2 En aquellos días yo Daniel me contristé tres semanas de tiempo.
“In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;
3 No comí pan delicado, ni carne ni vino entró en mi boca, ni me unté con ungüento, hasta que se cumplieron tres semanas de días.
I have not eaten desirable bread, and no flesh and wine came into my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, until the completion of three weeks of days.
4 Y a los veinte y cuatro días del mes primero, yo estaba a la orilla del gran río Jidekel:
And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
5 Y alzando mis ojos miré, y he aquí un varón vestido de lienzos, y ceñidos sus lomos de oro muy fino:
and I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz,
6 Y su cuerpo era como Társis, y su rostro parecía un relámpago, y sus ojos como antorchas de fuego, y sus brazos y sus pies como de color de metal resplandeciente; y la voz de sus palabras, como voz de algún ejército.
and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright bronze, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
7 Y yo Daniel solo vi aquella visión; y los varones que estaban conmigo no la vieron: mas cayó sobre ellos un gran temor, y huyeron, y escondiéronse.
And I, Daniel, have seen the vision by myself, and the men who have been with me have not seen the vision, but a great trembling has fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;
8 Y quedé yo solo, y ví esta gran visión, y no quedó en mi esfuerzo, antes mi fuerza se me trocó en desmayo, sin retener alguna fuerza.
and I have been left by myself, and I see this great vision, and there has been no power left in me, and my splendor has been turned in me to corruption, indeed, I have not retained power.
9 Y oí la voz de sus palabras; y como oí la voz de sus palabras, yo fui adormecido sobre mi rostro, y mi rostro en tierra.
And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face [is] to the earth;
10 Y he aquí que una mano me tocó, e hizo que me moviese sobre mis rodillas, y sobre las palmas de mis manos.
and behold, a hand has come against me, and shakes me on my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 Y díjome: Daniel, varón de deseos, está atento a las palabras que yo te hablaré, y levántate sobre tus pies; porque yo soy enviado ahora a ti: Y estando hablando conmigo esto, yo estaba temblando.
And he says to me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking to you, and stand on your station, for now I have been sent to you. And when he speaks with me this word, I have stood trembling.
12 Y díjome: Daniel, no temas; porque desde el primer día que diste tu corazón a entender, y a afligirte en la presencia de tu Dios, son oídas tus palabras; y yo soy venido a causa de tus palabras.
And he says to me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.
13 Mas el príncipe del reino de Persia se puso contra mí veinte y un días; y he aquí que Micael uno de los principales príncipes vino para ayudarme, y yo quedé allí con los reyes de Persia.
And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing in opposition in front of me [for] twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, first of the chief heads, has come to help me, and I have remained there near the kings of Persia;
14 Y soy venido para hacerte saber lo que ha de venir a tu pueblo en los postreros días; porque aun habrá visión por algunos días.
and I have come to cause you to understand that which happens to your people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.
15 Y estando hablando conmigo semejantes palabras, puse mis ojos en tierra, y enmudecí.
And when he speaks with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
16 Y he aquí como una semejanza de hombre, que tocó mis labios; y abrí mi boca, y hablé, y dije a aquel que estaba delante de mí: Señor mío, con la visión se trastornaron mis dolores sobre mí, y no me quedó fuerza.
and behold, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say to him who is standing in opposition in front of me: My lord, by the vision my pangs have been turned against me, and I have retained no power.
17 ¿Cómo pues podrá el siervo de este mi Señor hablar con este mi Señor? porque en este instante me faltó la fuerza, y no me quedó aliento.
And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? As for me, from now on there remains in me no power, indeed, breath has not been left in me.
18 Y aquella como semejanza de hombre me tocó otra vez, y me confortó.
And he adds, and strikes against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengthens me,
19 Y me dijo: Varón de deseos, no temas: paz a ti: ten buen ánimo, y esfuérzate. Y hablando él conmigo yo me esforcé, y dije: Hable mi Señor, porque esforzádome has.
and he says: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to you, be strong, indeed, be strong; and when he speaks with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.
20 Y dijo: ¿Sabes por qué he venido a ti? porque luego tengo de volver para pelear con el príncipe de los Persas; y en saliendo yo, luego viene el príncipe de Grecia.
And he says, Have you known why I have come to you? And now I return to fight with the head of Persia; indeed, I am going forth, and behold, the head of Javan has come;
21 Empero yo te declararé lo que está escrito en la escritura de verdad; y ninguno hay que se esfuerce conmigo en estos negocios, si no Micael vuestro príncipe.
but I declare to you that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.”
