Daniel 10
1. In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Cyrus
<3566 Kowresh > king <4428 melek > of Persia <6539 Parac > a
thing <1697 dabar > was revealed <1540 galah > unto Daniel <1840
Daniye>l >, whose <0834 >aher > name <8034 shem > was called
<7121 qara> > Belteshazzar <1095 Belt@sha>tstsar >; and the
thing <1697 dabar > [was] true <0571 >emeth >, but the time
appointed <6635 tsaba> > [was] long <1419 gadowl >: and he
understood <0995 biyn > the thing <1697 dabar >, and had
understanding <0998 biynah > of the vision <4758 mar>eh >.
2 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > I Daniel <1840
Daniye>l > was mourning <56> three <7969 shalowsh > full <3117
yowm > weeks <7620 shabuwa< >.
3 I ate <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > pleasant <2530 chamad >
bread <3899 lechem >, neither <3808 lo> > came <0935 bow> >
flesh <1320 basar > nor <3808 lo> > wine <3196 yayin > in my
mouth <6310 peh >, neither <3808 lo> > did I anoint <5480 cuwk >
myself at all, till <5704 <ad > three <7969 shalowsh > whole
<3117 yowm > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > were fulfilled <4390 male> >.
4 And in the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym >
day <3117 yowm > of the first <7223 ri>shown > month <2320
chodesh >, as I was by the side <3027 yad > of the great <1419
gadowl > river <5104 nahar >, which <1931 huw> > [is] Hiddekel
<2313 Chiddeqel >;
5 Then I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and
looked <7200 ra>ah >, and behold <2009 hinneh > a certain <0259
>echad > man <0376 >iysh > clothed <3847 labash > in linen <0906
bad >, whose loins <4975 mothen > [were] girded <2296 chagar >
with fine gold <3800 kethem > of Uphaz <0210 >Uwphaz >:
6 His body <1472 g@viyah > also [was] like the beryl <8658
tarshiysh >, and his face <6440 paniym > as the appearance <4758
mar>eh > of lightning <1300 baraq >, and his eyes <5869 <ayin >
as lamps <3940 lappiyd > of fire <0784 >esh >, and his arms
<2220 z@rowa< > and his feet <4772 marg@lah > like in colour
<5869 <ayin > to polished <7044 qalal > brass <5178 n@chosheth >,
and the voice <6963 qowl > of his words <1697 dabar > like the
voice <6963 qowl > of a multitude <1995 hamown >.
7 And I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > alone <0905 bad > saw <7200
ra>ah > the vision <4759 mar>ah >: for the men <0582 >enowsh >
that were with me saw <7200 ra>ah > not the vision <4759 mar>ah
>; but a great <1419 gadowl > quaking <2731 charadah > fell
<5307 naphal > upon them, so that they fled <1272 barach > to
hide <2244> themselves.
8 Therefore I was left <7604 sha>ar > alone <0905 bad >, and
saw <7200 ra>ah > this great <1419 gadowl > vision <4759 mar>ah
>, and there remained <7604 sha>ar > no <3808 lo> > strength
<3581 koach > in me: for my comeliness <1935 howd > was turned
<2015 haphak > in me into corruption <4889 mashchiyth >, and I
retained <6113 <atsar > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach >.
9 Yet heard <8085 shama< > I the voice <6963 qowl > of his
words <1697 dabar >: and when I heard <8085 shama< > the voice
<6963 qowl > of his words <1697 dabar >, then was I in a deep
<7290 radam > sleep <7290 radam > on my face <6440 paniym >, and
my face <6440 paniym > toward the ground <0776 >erets >.
10. And, behold <2009 hinneh >, an hand <3027 yad > touched
<5060 naga< > me, which set <5128 nuwa< > me upon my knees <1290
berek > and [upon] the palms <3709 kaph > of my hands <3027 yad
>.
11 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me, O Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >,
a man <0376 >iysh > greatly beloved <2530 chamad >, understand
<0995 biyn > the words <1697 dabar > that I speak <1696 dabar >
unto thee, and stand <5975 <amad > upright <5977 <omed >: for
unto thee am I now <6258 <attah > sent <7971 shalach >. And when
he had spoken <1696 dabar > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >
unto me, I stood <5975 <amad > trembling <7460>.
12 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me, Fear <3372 yare> > not,
Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >: for from the first <7223 ri>shown > day
<3117 yowm > that thou didst set <5414 nathan > thine heart
<3820 leb > to understand <0995 biyn >, and to chasten <6031
<anah > thyself before <6440 paniym > thy God <0430 >elohiym >,
thy words <1697 dabar > were heard <8085 shama< >, and I am come
<0935 bow> > for thy words <1697 dabar >.
13 But the prince <8269 sar > of the kingdom <4438 malkuwth >
of Persia <6539 Parac > withstood <5975 <amad > me one <0259
>echad > and twenty <6242 <esriym > days <3117 yowm >: but, lo
<2009 hinneh >, Michael <4317 Miyka>el >, one <0259 >echad > of
the chief <7223 ri>shown > princes <8269 sar >, came <0935 bow>
> to help <5826 <azar > me; and I remained <3498 yathar > there
<8033 sham > with the kings <4428 melek > of Persia <6539 Parac
>.
14 Now I am come <0935 bow> > to make thee understand <0995
biyn > what shall befall <7136 qarah > thy people <5971 <am > in
the latter <0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm >: for yet <5750
<owd > the vision <2377 chazown > [is] for [many] days <3117
yowm >.
15 And when he had spoken <1696 dabar > such <0428 >el-leh >
words <1697 dabar > unto me, I set <5414 nathan > my face <6440
paniym > toward the ground <0776 >erets >, and I became <0481
>alam > dumb <0481 >alam >.
16 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, [one] like the similitude <1823
d@muwth > of the sons <1121 ben > of men <0120 >adam > touched
<5060 naga< > my lips <8193 saphah >: then I opened <6605
pathach > my mouth <6310 peh >, and spake <1696 dabar >, and
said <0559 >amar > unto him that stood <5975 <amad > before
<6440 paniym > me, O my lord <0113 >adown >, by the vision <4758
mar>eh > my sorrows <6735 tsiyr > are turned <2015 haphak > upon
me, and I have retained <6113 <atsar > no <3808 lo> > strength
<3581 koach >.
17 For how <1963 heyk > can <3201 yakol > the servant <5650
<ebed > of this <2088 zeh > my lord <0113 >adown > talk <1696
dabar > with this <2088 zeh > my lord <0113 >adown >? for as for
me, straightway <6258 <attah > there remained <5975 <amad > no
<3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach > in me, neither <3808 lo> > is
there breath <5397 n@shamah > left <7604 sha>ar > in me.
18 Then there came again <3284 ya<anah > and touched <5060
naga< > me [one] like the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a man
<0120 >adam >, and he strengthened <2388 chazaq > me,
19 And said <0559 >amar >, O man <0376 >iysh > greatly beloved
<2530 chamad >, fear <3372 yare> > not: peace <7965 shalowm >
[be] unto thee, be strong <2388 chazaq >, yea, be strong <2388
chazaq >. And when he had spoken <1696 dabar > unto me, I was
strengthened <2388 chazaq >, and said <0559 >amar >, Let my lord
<0113 >adown > speak <1696 dabar >; for thou hast strengthened
<2388 chazaq > me.
20 Then said <0559 >amar > he, Knowest <3045 yada< > thou
wherefore <4100 mah > I come <0935 bow> > unto thee? and now
<6258 <attah > will I return <7725 shuwb > to fight <3898 lacham
> with the prince <8269 sar > of Persia <6539 Parac >: and when
I am gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, lo <2009 hinneh >,
the prince <8269 sar > of Grecia <3120 Yavan > shall come <0935
bow> >.
21 But I will shew <5046 nagad > thee that which is noted <7559
rasham > in the scripture <3791 kathab > of truth <0571 >emeth >:
and [there is] none <0369 >ayin > that holdeth <2388 chazaq >
with me in these <0428 >el-leh > things, but Michael <4317
Miyka>el > your prince <8269 sar >.
