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 >.
