Daniel 10
1 During the third year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, I Daniel, [who had been given the] name Belteshazzar, received [another] message [from God]. The message was true, but it was very difficult for me to understand it. But [later] I understood the message because of the vision that I had seen.
In year three of Cyrus [the] king of Persia a word it was revealed to Daniel whom it had been called name his Belteshazzar and [was] truth the word and a war great and he understood the word and understanding [belonged] to him by the vision.
2 At that time I had been sad for three weeks [about what had happened to Jerusalem].
In the days those I Daniel I was mourning three sevens days.
3 I did not eat any tasty food or any meat or drink any wine. I did not even put any perfumed oil on my [face or hair] for those three weeks.
Food of desirableness not I ate and meat and wine not it came into mouth my and indeed not I anointed myself until were completed three sevens days.
4 [When those three weeks ended, ] on April 23, [my companions and] I were standing on the bank of the great Tigris River.
And on day twenty and four of the month first and I I was on [the] side of the river great that [is] [the] Tigris.
5 I looked up and saw someone there who was wearing fine white/linen clothes and a belt [made of] pure gold.
And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! a man one clothed linen and loins his [were] girded with [the] gold of Uphaz.
6 His body [shone] like a precious beryl stone. His face was as [bright as] a flash of lightning. His eyes [were/shone] like flaming torches. His arms and legs [shone] like polished bronze. And his voice was [very loud], like the roar of a huge crowd.
And body his [was] like topaz and face his [was] like [the] appearance of lightning and eyes his [were] like torches of fire and arms his and feet his [were] like [the] appearance of bronze burnished and [the] sound of words his [was] like [the] sound of a multitude.
7 I, Daniel, was the only one who saw this vision. The men who were with me did not see anything, but [they sensed that someone was there, and they] became terrified. They ran away and hid themselves.
And I saw I Daniel to alone me the vision and the men who they were with me not they saw the vision but terror great it fell on them and they fled in hiding themselves.
8 So I was left there by myself, looking at this very unusual vision. I had no strength left. My face became very pale, with the result that no one would have recognized me.
And I I was left behind to alone me and I saw the vision great this and not it remained in me strength and vigor my it was changed on me into destruction and not I retained strength.
9 I saw a man there, and when I heard him speak, I fell to the ground. I (fainted/became unconscious), [and I lay there] with my face on the ground.
And I heard [the] sound of words his and just as heard I [the] sound of words his and I I was dazed on face my and face my [was] ground towards.
10 Suddenly someone’s hand took hold of me and lifted me, with the result that I was on my hands and knees, [but I was still] trembling.
And there! a hand it touched me and it shook me on knees my and [the] palms of hands my.
11 The man said to me, “Daniel, [God] loves you very much. Stand up and listen to what I am going to say to you, because [God] sent me to you.” When he said that, I stood up, [but I was still] trembling.
And he said to me O Daniel man of preciousness understand the words which I [am] about to speak to you and stand on standing place your for now I have been sent to you and when spoke he with me the word this I stood up trembling.
12 Then he said to me, “Daniel, do not be afraid. God has heard what you have prayed ever since the first day that you determined to humble yourself in order to understand [the vision]. I have come to you because of what you prayed.
And he said to me may not you fear O Daniel for - from the day first which you gave heart your to understand and to humble yourself before God your they were heard words your and I I have come on words your.
13 The [evil spirit who] rules the kingdom of Persia resisted/hindered me for 21 days, but Michael, who is one of God’s chief angels, came to help me. I left him there in Persia [to resist] that evil spirit who rules there.
And [the] prince of - [the] kingdom of Persia [was] standing to before me twenty and one day[s] and there! Michael one of the princes chief he came to help me and I I remained behind there beside [the] kings of Persia.
14 I have come here to enable you to understand what will happen to the Israeli people in the future. [Do not forget that] the vision [that you saw] is about [things that will happen in] the distant future, [not about things that will happen very soon].”
And I have come to make understand you [that] which it will happen to people your at [the] end of the days for still [the] vision [is] for the days.
15 While he was saying that, I stared at the ground and was unable to say anything [because I was very afraid].
And when spoke he with me according to the words these I put face my [the] ground towards and I was dumb.
16 Suddenly [the angel], who resembled a human, touched my lips. Then [I was able to speak, and] I said to him, “Sir, because [I have seen] this vision, I have become very weak, with the result that I cannot stop trembling.
And there! like [the] likeness of [the] sons of humankind [was] touching lips my and I opened mouth my and I spoke! and I said! to the [one] standing to before me O lord my on the vision they have turned pangs my on me and not I have retained strength.
17 I am not able [RHQ] to talk to you, my master. I have no strength left, and it is very difficult for me to breathe.”
And how? is he able [the] servant of lord my this to speak with lord my this and I from now not it remains in me strength and breath not it is left in me.
18 But he took hold of me again, and enabled me to become stronger again.
And he repeated and he touched me like [the] appearance of humankind and he strengthened me.
19 He said to me, “You human, God loves you very much. [So] do not be afraid. I desire/want things to go well for you and that you will be encouraged.” When he had said that, I felt even stronger, and I said, “Sir, tell me [what you want to tell me]. You have enabled me to feel stronger.”
And he said may not you fear O man of preciousness peace [be] to you be strong and be strong and when spoke he with me I strengthened myself and I said let him speak lord my for you have strengthened me.
20 Then he said, “(Do you know why I came to you?/I will tell you why I came to you.) [RHQ] It is to reveal to you what is written in the book which reveals/contains God’s truth. But now I must return to fight against [the evil spirit] who rules the kingdom of Persia. After I have defeated him, [the evil angel] who guards Greece will appear [and I must defeat him]. Michael, who guards you [Israeli people], will help me, but there is no one else to help me.”
And he said ¿ do you know why? have I come to you and now I will return to engage in battle with [the] prince of Persia and I [am] about to go forth and there! [the] prince of Greece he will come.
But I will tell to you the [thing] inscribed in writing of truth and there not [is] one [who] shows himself strong with me on these that except Michael prince your.
