Chapter 10

¹ In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel surnamed Baltassar, and a true word, and great strength: and he understood the word: for there is need of understanding in a vision.
² In those days I Daniel mourned the days of three weeks.
³ I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine entered into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of three weeks were accomplished.
⁴ And in the four and twentieth day of the first month I was by the great river which is the Tigris.
⁵ And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold:
⁶ And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude.
⁷ And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves.
⁸ And I being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.
⁹ And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard, I lay in a consternation, upon my face, and my face was close to the ground.
¹⁰ And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands.
¹¹ And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.
¹² And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words.
¹³ But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians.
¹⁴ But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.
¹⁵ And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my countenance to the ground, and held my peace.
¹⁶ And behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my Lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me.
¹⁷ And how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no strength remaineth in me, moreover my breath is stopped.
¹⁸ Therefore he that looked like a man touched me again, and strengthened me.
¹⁹ And he said: Fear not, O man of desires, peace be to thee: take courage and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong: and I said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast strengthened me.
²⁰ And he said: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming.
²¹ But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince.

Chapter 10

¹ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
² In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
³ I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
⁴ And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
⁵ Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
⁶ His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
⁷ And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision: but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
⁸ Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
⁹ Yet I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then I was in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
¹⁰ And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
¹¹ And he said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for to thee I am now sent. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
¹² Then said he to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
¹³ But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
¹⁴ Now I have come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
¹⁵ And when he had spoken such words to me, I set my face towards the ground, and I became dumb.
¹⁶ And behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
¹⁷ For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
¹⁸ Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
¹⁹ And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be to thee, be strong, yes, be strong. And when he had spoken to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
²⁰ Then said he, Knowest thou for what cause I come to thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
²¹ But I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

Chapter 10

¹ In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a secret was unfolded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a hard work: and he had knowledge of it, and the vision was clear to him.
² In those days I, Daniel, gave myself up to grief for three full weeks.
³ I had no pleasing food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, and I put no oil on my body till three full weeks were ended.
⁴ And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was by the side of the great river;
⁵ And lifting up my eyes I saw the form of a man clothed in a linen robe, and round him there was a band of gold, of the best gold:
⁶ And his body was like the beryl, and his face had the look of a thunder-flame, and his eyes were like burning lights, and his arms and feet like the colour of polished brass, and the sound of his voice was like the sound of an army.
⁷ And I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it; but a great shaking came on them and they went in flight to take cover.
⁸ So I was by myself, and I saw this great vision, and all my strength went from me; and the colour went from my face.
⁹ But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth.
¹⁰ Then a hand gave me a touch, awaking me, and putting me on my knees and my hands.
¹¹ And he said to me, O Daniel, you man dearly loved, take in the sense of the words I say to you and get up on to your feet: for to you I am now sent; and when he had said this to me I got on to my feet, shaking with fear.
¹² Then he said to me, Have no fear, Daniel; for from the first day when you gave your heart to getting wisdom and making yourself poor in spirit before your God, your words have come to his ears: and I have come because of your words.
¹³ But the angel of the kingdom of Persia put himself against me for twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief angels, came to my help; and when I came he was still there with the angel of the kings of Persia.
¹⁴ Now I have come to give you knowledge of the fate of your people in the later days; for there is still a vision for the days.
¹⁵ And after he had said these words to me, I kept my face turned to the earth and was unable to say anything.
¹⁶ Then one whose form was like the sons of men put his finger on my lips; and opening my mouth, I said to him who was before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have come on me, and I have no more strength.
¹⁷ For how may this servant of my lord have talk with my lord? for, as for me, straight away my strength went from me and there was no breath in my body.
¹⁸ Then again one having the form of a man put his hand on me and gave me strength.
¹⁹ And he said to me, O man greatly loved, have no fear: peace be with you, be strong and let your heart be lifted up. And at his words I became strong, and said, Let my lord say on, for you have given me strength.
²⁰ Then he said, It is clear to you why I have come to you. And now I will give you an account of what is recorded in the true writings:
²¹ But I am going back to make war with the angel of Persia, and when I am gone, the angel of Greece will come. And there is no one on my side against these, but Michael, your angel.
