1Nang ikatlong taon ni Ciro na hari sa Persia ay nahayag ang isang bagay kay Daniel, na ang pangala'y Beltsasar; at ang bagay ay tunay, sa makatuwid baga'y isang malaking pakikipagbaka; at kaniyang naunawa ang bagay at nagkaroon ng unawa tungkol sa pangitain. 2Nang mga araw na yao'y akong si Daniel ay nanangis na tatlong buong sanglinggo. 3Hindi ako kumain ng masarap na tinapay, ni pumasok man ang karne ni alak man sa aking bibig, ni naglangis man ako, hanggang sa natapos ang tatlong buong sanglinggo. 4At nang ikadalawang pu't apat na araw ng unang buwan, palibhasa'y ako'y nasa tabi ng malaking ilog, na siyang Hiddekel. 5Aking itiningin ang aking mga mata, at tumanaw, at narito, ang isang lalake na nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na ang mga balakang ay binigkisan ng taganas na ginto sa Uphas: 6Ang kaniyang katawan naman ay gaya ng berilo, at ang kaniyang mukha ay gaya ng anyo ng kidlat, at ang kaniyang mga mata ay gaya ng mga liwanag ng apoy, at ang kaniyang mga kamay at kaniyang mga paa, ay gaya ng kulay ng pinakintab na tanso, at ang tinig ng kaniyang mga salita ay gaya ng tinig ng isang karamihan. 7At akong si Daniel ang nakakitang magisa ng pangitaing yaon; sapagka't ang mga lalake na kasama ko ay hindi nangakakita ng pangitain; kundi sumakanila ang isang di kawasang panginginig, at sila'y nagsitakas upang magsikubli. 8Sa gayo'y iniwan akong magisa, at nakakita nitong dakilang pangitain, at nawalan ako ng lakas; sapagka't ang aking kagandahan ay umuwi sa kasiraan at walang nanatiling lakas sa akin. 9Gayon ma'y narinig ko ang tinig ng kaniyang mga salita; at nang aking marinig ang tinig ng kaniyang mga salita, ako nga'y nagupiling sa isang mahimbing na pagkakatulog, na ang aking mukha ay pasubsob. 10At, narito, isang kamay ay humipo sa akin, na nagtayo sa akin sa aking mga tuhod at sa mga palad ng aking mga kamay. 11At sinabi niya sa akin, Oh Daniel, ikaw na lalaking minamahal na mainam, unawain mo ang mga salita na aking sinasalita sa iyo, at tumayo kang matuwid; sapagka't sa iyo'y sinugo ako ngayon. At ng kaniyang masalita ang salitang ito sa akin, ako'y tumayo na nanginginig. 12Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Huwag kang matakot, Daniel; sapagka't mula nang unang araw na iyong ilagak ang iyong puso na makaunawa, at magpakababa sa harap ng iyong Dios, ang iyong mga salita ay dininig: at ako'y naparito alangalang sa iyong mga salita. 13Nguni't ang prinsipe ng kaharian ng Persia ay nakipagpunyagi sa akin na dalawang pu't isang araw; nguni't, narito, si Miguel ay isa sa mga punong prinsipe, dumating upang tulungan ako: at ako'y natira doon na kasama ng mga hari sa Persia. 14Ngayo'y naparito ako upang ipatalastas sa iyo kung ano ang mangyayari sa iyong bayan sa mga huling araw; sapagka't ang pangitain ay ukol sa maraming mga araw pa. 15At nang kaniyang masalita sa akin ang ayon sa mga salitang ito, ay aking itinungo ang aking mukha sa lupa, at ako'y napipi. 16At, narito, isang gaya ng kahawig ng mga anak ng mga tao ay humipo ng aking mga labi: nang magkagayo'y ibinuka ko ang aking bibig, at ako'y nagsalita, at nagsabi sa kaniya na tumayo sa harap ko, Oh panginoon ko, dahil sa pangitain ay nagbalik sa akin ang aking mga kapanglawan, at hindi nananatili sa akin ang lakas. 17Sapagka't paanong makikipagusap ang lingkod nitong aking panginoon sa panginoon kong ito? sapagka't tungkol sa akin, ay biglang nawalan ako ng lakas, ni may naiwan mang hininga sa akin. 18Nang magkagayo'y hinipo uli ako roon ng isa na kamukha ng tao, at kaniyang pinalakas ako. 19At kaniyang sinabi, Oh taong minamahal na mainam, huwag kang matakot: kapayapaan ang sumaiyo, magpakalakas ka, oo, magpakalakas ka. At nang siya'y magsalita sa akin, ako'y lumakas, at nagsabi, Magsalita ang aking panginoon; sapagka't iyong pinalakas ako. 20Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya, Talastas mo baga kung bakit ako'y naparito sa iyo? at ngayo'y babalik ako upang makipaglaban sa prinsipe sa Persia: at pagka ako'y lumabas, narito, ang prinsipe sa Grecia ay darating. 21Nguni't aking sasaysayin sa iyo ang nakasulat sa kasulatan ng katotohanan: at walang sinomang tutulong sa akin laban sa mga ito, kundi si Miguel na inyong prinsipe.
1In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. 2In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks. 3I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled. 4In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel, 5I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, whose thighs were adorned with pure gold of Uphaz: 6his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. 7I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves. 8So 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. 9Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground. 10Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands. 11He said to me, Daniel, you man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for am I now sent to you. When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling. 12Then he said to me, Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard: and I have come for your words’ sake. 13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days: 15and when he had spoken to me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was mute. 16Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned on me, and I retain no strength. 17For 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 was there breath left in me. 18Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me. 19He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid: peace be to you, be strong, yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.” 20Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece shall come. 21But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is no one who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince.”
1In het derde jaar van Kores, den koning van Perzie, werd aan Daniel, wiens naam genoemd werd Beltsazar, een zaak geopenbaard, en die zaak is de waarheid, doch in een gezetten groten tijd; en hij verstond die zaak, en hij had verstand van het gezicht. 2In die dagen was ik, Daniel, treurende drie weken der dagen. 3Begeerlijke spijze at ik niet, en vlees of wijn kwam in mijn mond niet; ook zalfde ik mij gans niet, totdat die drie weken der dagen vervuld waren. 4En op den vier en twintigsten dag der eerste maand, zo was ik aan den oever der grote rivier, welke is Hiddekel. 5En ik hief mijn ogen op, en zag, en ziet, er was een Man met linnen bekleed, en Zijn lenden waren omgord met fijn goud van Ufaz. 6En Zijn lichaam was gelijk een turkoois, en Zijn aangezicht gelijk de gedaante des bliksems, en Zijn ogen gelijk vurige fakkelen, en Zijn armen en Zijn voeten gelijk de verf van gepolijst koper; en de stem Zijner woorden was gelijk de stem ener menigte. 7En ik, Daniel, alleen zag dat gezicht, maar de mannen, die bij mij waren, zagen dat gezicht niet; doch een grote verschrikking viel op hen, en zij vloden, om zich te versteken. 8Ik dan werd alleen overgelaten, en zag dit grote gezicht, en er bleef in mij geen kracht overig; en mijn sierlijkheid werd aan mij veranderd in een verderving, zodat ik geen kracht behield. 9En ik hoorde de stem Zijner woorden; en toen ik de stem Zijner woorden hoorde, zo viel ik in een diepen slaap op mijn aangezicht, met mijn aangezicht ter aarde. 10En ziet, een hand roerde mij aan, en maakte, dat ik mij bewoog op mijn knieen, en de palmen mijner handen. 11En Hij zeide tot mij: Daniel, gij zeer gewenste man! merk op de woorden, die Ik tot u spreken zal, en sta op uw standplaats, want Ik ben alnu tot u gezonden; en toen Hij dat woord tot mij sprak, stond ik bevende. 12Toen zeide Hij tot mij: Vrees niet, Daniel! want van den eersten dag aan, dat gij uw hart begaaft, om te verstaan en om uzelven te verootmoedigen, voor het aangezicht uws Gods, zijn uw woorden gehoord, en om uwer woorden wil ben Ik gekomen. 13Doch de vorst des koninkrijks van Perzie stond tegenover Mij een en twintig dagen; en ziet, Michael, een van de eerste vorsten, kwam om Mij te helpen, en Ik werd aldaar gelaten bij de koningen van Perzie. 14Nu ben Ik gekomen, om u te doen verstaan, hetgeen uw volk bejegenen zal in het vervolg der dagen, want het gezicht is nog voor vele dagen. 15En toen Hij deze woorden met mij sprak, sloeg ik mijn aangezicht ter aarde, en ik werd stom. 16En ziet, Een, den mensenkinderen gelijk, raakte mijn lippen aan, toen deed ik mijn mond open, en ik sprak, en zeide tot Dien, Die tegenover mij stond: Mijn Heere! om des gezichts wil keren zich mijn weeen over mij, zodat ik geen kracht behoude. 17En hoe kan de knecht van dezen mijn Heere spreken met dien mijn Heere? Want wat mij aangaat, van nu af bestaat geen kracht in mij, en geen adem is in mij overgebleven. 18Toen raakte mij wederom aan Een, als in de gedaante van een mens; en Hij versterkte mij. 19En Hij zeide: Vrees niet, gij zeer gewenste man! vrede zij u, wees sterk, ja, wees sterk! En terwijl Hij met mij sprak, werd ik versterkt, en zeide: Mijn Heere spreke, want Gij hebt mij versterkt. 20Toen zeide Hij: Weet gij, waarom dat Ik tot u gekomen ben? Doch nu zal Ik wederkeren om te strijden tegen den vorst der Perzen; en als Ik zal uitgegaan zijn, ziet, zo zal de vorst van Griekenland komen. 21Doch Ik zal u te kennen geven, hetgeen getekend is in het geschrift der waarheid; en er is niet een, die zich met Mij versterkt tegen dezen, dan uw vorst Michael.
