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 the Persians a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Baltasar; and the thing was true, and great power and understanding in the vision was given to him.
2 В тыя дни аз Даниил бех рыдая три седмицы дний:
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full 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 bread, and no flesh or wine entered into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself with oil, until three whole weeks were accomplished.
4 В день двадесять четвертый перваго месяца аз бех близ реки великия, яже есть Тигр Еддекель,
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.
5 и воздвигох очи мои и видех, и се, муж един облечен в ризу льняну, и чресла его препоясана златом светлым:
And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girt with gold of Ophaz:
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.
and his body was as Tharsis, and his face was as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as 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.
And I Daniel only saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear.
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 was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned into corruption, 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: and when I heard him I was pricked [in the heart], and [I fell with] my face to the earth.
10 и се, рука прикасающися мне, и возстави мя на колена моя и на длани рук моих.
And, behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees.
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.
And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am now sent to thee. And when he had spoken to me this word, 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:
And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to afflict thyself before the Lord thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come because of thy 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 the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:
14 и приидох сказати тебе, елика срящут людий твоих в последния дни, яко еще видение на дни.
and I have come to inform thee of all that shall befall thy people in the last 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.
And when he had spoken with me according to these words, I turned my face to the ground, and was pricked [in the heart].
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, behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O [my] lord, at the sight of thee my bowels were turned within me, and I had 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.
And how shall thy servant be able, O [my] lord, to speak with this my lord? and as for me, from henceforth strength will not remain in me, and there is no breath left in me.
18 И приложи, и прикоснуся мне яко зрак человечь, и укрепи мя,
And there touched me again as it were the appearance of a man, 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.
and said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to thee, quit thyself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast 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:
And he said, Knowest thou, wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return to fight with the prince of the Persians: and I was going in, and the prince of the Greeks came.
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 thee that which is ordained in the scripture of truth: and there is no one that holds with me in these matters but Michael your prince.
