10:1 | In the third <07969> year <08141> of Cyrus <03566> king <04428> of Persia <06539> a thing <01697> was revealed <01540> (8738) unto Daniel <01840>, whose name <08034> was called <07121> (8738) Belteshazzar <01095>; and the thing <01697> [was] true <0571>, but the time appointed <06635> [was] long <01419>: and he understood <0995> (8804) the thing <01697>, and had understanding <0998> of the vision <04758>. {long: Heb. great} |
10:2 | In those days <03117> I Daniel <01840> was mourning <056> (8693) three <07969> full <03117> weeks <07620>. {full...: Heb. weeks of days} |
10:3 | I ate <0398> (8804) no pleasant <02532> bread <03899>, neither came <0935> (8804) flesh <01320> nor wine <03196> in my mouth <06310>, neither did I anoint <05480> (8804) myself at all <05480> (8800), till three <07969> whole <03117> weeks <07620> were fulfilled <04390> (8800). {pleasant...: Heb. bread of desires} |
10:4 | And in the four <0702> and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the first <07223> month <02320>, as I was by the side <03027> of the great <01419> river <05104>, which [is] Hiddekel <02313>; |
10:5 | Then I lifted up <05375> (8799) mine eyes <05869>, and looked <07200> (8799), and behold a certain <0259> man <0376> clothed <03847> (8803) in linen <0906>, whose loins <04975> [were] girded <02296> (8803) with fine gold <03800> of Uphaz <0210>: {a...: Heb. one man} |
10:6 | His body <01472> also [was] like the beryl <08658>, and his face <06440> as the appearance <04758> of lightning <01300>, and his eyes <05869> as lamps <03940> of fire <0784>, and his arms <02220> and his feet <04772> like in colour <05869> to polished <07044> brass <05178>, and the voice <06963> of his words <01697> like the voice <06963> of a multitude <01995>. |
10:7 | And I Daniel <01840> alone saw <07200> (8804) the vision <04759>: for the men <0582> that were with me saw <07200> (8804) not the vision <04759>; but <061> a great <01419> quaking <02731> fell <05307> (8804) upon them, so that they fled <01272> (8799) to hide <02244> (8736) themselves. |
10:8 | Therefore I was left alone <07604> (8738), and saw <07200> (8799) this great <01419> vision <04759>, and there remained <07604> (8738) no strength <03581> in me: for my comeliness <01935> was turned <02015> (8738) in me into corruption <04889>, and I retained <06113> (8804) no strength <03581>. {comeliness: or, vigour} |
10:9 | Yet heard <08085> (8799) I the voice <06963> of his words <01697>: and when I heard <08085> (8800) the voice <06963> of his words <01697>, then was I in a deep sleep <07290> (8737) on my face <06440>, and my face <06440> toward the ground <0776>. |
10:10 | And, behold, an hand <03027> touched <05060> (8804) me, which set <05128> (8686) me upon my knees <01290> and [upon] the palms <03709> of my hands <03027>. {set: Heb. moved} |
10:11 | And he said <0559> (8799) unto me, O Daniel <01840>, a man <0376> greatly beloved <02532>, understand <0995> (8685) the words <01697> that I speak <01696> (8802) unto thee, and stand <05975> (8798) upright <05977>: for unto thee am I now sent <07971> (8795). And when he had spoken <01696> (8763) this word <01697> unto me, I stood <05975> (8804) trembling <07460> (8688). {greatly...: Heb. of desires} {upright: Heb. upon thy standing} |
10:12 | Then said <0559> (8799) he unto me, Fear <03372> (8799) not, Daniel <01840>: for from the first <07223> day <03117> that thou didst set <05414> (8804) thine heart <03820> to understand <0995> (8687), and to chasten <06031> (8692) thyself before <06440> thy God <0430>, thy words <01697> were heard <08085> (8738), and I am come <0935> (8804) for thy words <01697>. |
10:13 | But the prince <08269> of the kingdom <04438> of Persia <06539> withstood <05975> (8802) me one <0259> and twenty <06242> days <03117>: but, lo, Michael <04317>, one <0259> of the chief <07223> princes <08269>, came <0935> (8804) to help <05826> (8800) me; and I remained <03498> (8738) there with <0681> the kings <04428> of Persia <06539>. {chief: or, first} |
10:14 | Now I am come <0935> (8804) to make thee understand <0995> (8687) what shall befall <07136> (8799) thy people <05971> in the latter <0319> days <03117>: for yet the vision <02377> [is] for [many] days <03117>. |
10:15 | And when he had spoken <01696> (8763) such words <01697> unto me, I set <05414> (8804) my face <06440> toward the ground <0776>, and I became dumb <0481> (8738). |
10:16 | And, behold, [one] like the similitude <01823> of the sons <01121> of men <0120> touched <05060> (8802) my lips <08193>: then I opened <06605> (8799) my mouth <06310>, and spake <01696> (8762), and said <0559> (8799) unto him that stood <05975> (8802) before me, O my lord <0113>, by the vision <04759> my sorrows <06735> are turned <02015> (8738) upon me, and I have retained <06113> (8804) no strength <03581>. |
10:17 | For how <01963> can <03201> (8799) the servant <05650> of this my lord <0113> talk <01696> (8763) with this my lord <0113>? for as for me, straightway <06258> there remained <05975> (8799) no strength <03581> in me, neither is there breath <05397> left <07604> (8738) in me. {the...: or, this servant of my lord} |
10:18 | Then there came again <03254> (8686) and touched <05060> (8799) me [one] like the appearance <04758> of a man <0120>, and he strengthened <02388> (8762) me, |
10:19 | And said <0559> (8799), O man <0376> greatly beloved <02532>, fear <03372> (8799) not: peace <07965> [be] unto thee, be strong <02388> (8798), yea, be strong <02388> (8798). And when he had spoken <01696> (8763) unto me, I was strengthened <02388> (8694), and said <0559> (8799), Let my lord <0113> speak <01696> (8762); for thou hast strengthened <02388> (8765) me. |
10:20 | Then said <0559> (8799) he, Knowest <03045> (8804) thou wherefore I come <0935> (8804) unto thee? and now will I return <07725> (8799) to fight <03898> (8736) with the prince <08269> of Persia <06539>: and when I am gone forth <03318> (8802), lo, the prince <08269> of Grecia <03120> shall come <0935> (8804). |
10:21 | But <061> I will shew <05046> (8686) thee that which is noted <07559> (8803) in the scripture <03791> of truth <0571>: and [there is] none <0259> that holdeth <02388> (8693) with me in these things, but Michael <04317> your prince <08269>. {holdeth: Heb. strengtheneth himself} |
