In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing
is
revealed to Daniel, whose
name
is
called Belteshazzar ,
and
the thing
`is'
true, and the
warfare
`is'
great :
and he
hath
understood
the thing,
and
hath
understanding about
the appearance
.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message
was
revealed to Daniel, who
was
called Belteshazzar .
The message
was
true, and it
concerned
a
great conflict.
And the understanding of
the message
was
given
to
him
in
a
vision
.
`
In those days ,
I, Daniel, have
been
mourning three weeks of
days;
In those days I, Daniel, was
mourning for
three full
weeks .
desirable
bread
I have
not
eaten
, and
flesh
and
wine hath
not
come
in
unto
my mouth, and I have
not anointed
myself at
all,
till
the completion
of
three weeks of
days
.
I ate
no
rich
food
, no
meat
or
wine entered
my mouth, and I did
not anoint
myself with
oil
until
the three weeks were
completed
.
`And
in
the twenty and
fourth day of the first month, I have
been
by
the side
of the great river, that
`is'
Hiddekel:
On
the twenty -
fourth day of the first month, as
I was
standing
on
the bank
of the great river, the
Tigris,
and
I lift
up mine
eyes, and look,
and
lo
, a certain one
clothed
in linen, and
his
loins
girt
with pure
gold
of Uphaz ,
I lifted
up my
eyes, and behold
, there
was
a certain man
dressed
in linen, with a
belt
of fine
gold
from
Uphaz around
his
waist.
and
his body as
a
beryl, and
his face as
the appearance
of lightning, and
his eyes as
lamps
of
fire
, and
his arms and his
feet
as
the aspect
of bright
brass
, and the
voice
of
his words
as
the
voice of a multitude.
His body was
like
beryl, his face like
the brilliance
of lightning, his eyes like
flaming
torches
, his arms and legs
like
the gleam
of polished
bronze
, and his voice like
the
sound
of a multitude.
`And
I
have
seen
--
I, Daniel, by
myself
--
the appearance:
and
the men who
have
been
with me have
not seen
the
appearance
, but a great trembling
hath
fallen
on
them, and they flee
to
be
hidden;
Only
I, Daniel, saw
the vision;
the men with me did
not see
it
, but a great terror
fell
upon
them, and they ran
and
hid
themselves.
and
I have
been
left by
myself
, and
I
see
this great appearance,
and
there
hath
been
no power
left
in me ,
and
my honour
hath
been
turned
in
me
to
corruption,
yea
, I have
not
retained
power
.
So
I was
left alone
, gazing
at
this great vision.
No strength
remained
in me ;
my face
grew
deathly
pale
, and
I was
powerless
.
`And
I hear
the voice
of his words, and when
I hear
the
voice
of
his
words
, then
I have
been
in
a trance
on
my
face
, and
my face `is'
to the earth;
I heard
the sound
of his words, and as
I listened
, I fell
into
a deep
sleep
, with
my face to the ground.
and
lo
, a hand hath
come
against
me ,
and shaketh
me on my knees
and
the
palms
of
my
hands.
Suddenly
, a hand touched
me and set
me trembling
on my hands and
knees
.
`And
he saith
unto
me :
Daniel, man greatly
desired,
attend
to
the words that I am speaking
unto
thee,
and
stand on
thy
station
, for now
I have been sent unto
thee
. `
And when he speaketh
with
me
this word
, I have
stood trembling.
He said
to
me ,
“
Daniel, you
are
a
man who
is
highly
precious.
Consider
carefully
the words that I am about
to
say
to
you.
Stand up
, for I have now
been sent to
you
. ”
And when he had
said
this to
me
, I stood up
trembling.
And
he
saith
unto
me:
Do not fear
, Daniel, for from the first day that thou
didst
give
thy
heart
to understand ,
and to humble thyself
before thy
God, thy
words have
been
heard, and I have come because
of
thy
words
.
“
Do not be
afraid
, Daniel, ”
he
said,
“
for from the first day that you
purposed
to understand and to humble yourself
before your
God, your
words were
heard, and I have come in
response
to
them
.
`And
the head
of the kingdom of Persia is
standing
over-against
me twenty and
one days ,
and
lo,
Michael, first
of the chief heads
, hath
come
in
to help me, and
I have
remained
there near
the kings of Persia ;
However,
the prince
of the kingdom of Persia opposed
me for
twenty -
one days .
Then
Michael, one
of the chief princes
, came
to help me, for
I had
been
left
there with
the kings of Persia .
and
I have come to cause
thee
to understand
that
which
doth
happen to thy
people in the latter end
of
the
days, for yet
the vision `is'
after
days.
Now
I have come to explain
to you
what
will
happen to your
people in the latter days, for the vision concerns
those
days. ”
`And
when
he speaketh
with
me
about
these things
, I have
set my face toward the earth,
and have
been
silent;
While
he was
speaking
these words
to
me
, I set my face toward the ground
and became
speechless.
and lo,
as
the
manner
of
the sons
of men,
he
is
striking
against
my lips, and I open
my mouth ,
and I
speak,
and
say
unto
him
who
is
standing over-against
me :
My lord, by
the appearance
turned
have
been
my
pangs
against
me
, and I have retained
no power
.
And suddenly
one
with
the likeness
of a
man
touched
my lips, and I opened
my mouth and said
to
the
one
standing before
me ,
“
My lord, because
of
the vision
, I
am
overcome
with
anguish,
and I have no strength
.
And
how is
the
servant of
this
my
lord
able
to
speak with this
my lord? as
for
me,
henceforth
there
remaineth
in
me
no power,
yea
, breath hath
not
been
left in me.
How can
I,
your
servant ,
speak with you,
my lord? Now
I
have
no strength
, nor
is
any
breath left in me. ”
`And
he
addeth,
and
striketh
against
me,
as
the appearance
of a man ,
and strengtheneth
me ,
Again
the one
with
the
likeness
of a man touched
me
and strengthened
me .
and
he
saith:
Do not fear
, O
man
greatly
desired
, peace to
thee,
be strong,
yea,
be strong; and
when
he speaketh
with me, I have
strengthened myself,
and I
say
, Let
my lord speak
, for thou
hast
strengthened me.
“
Do not be
afraid
, you
who
are
highly
precious
, ”
he
said.
“
Peace be with
you!
Be strong now
; be
very
strong!”
As
he spoke
with me, I was
strengthened and said
, “Speak,
my lord, for you
have
strengthened me. ”
And
he
saith,
Hast
thou
known
why I have come unto
thee
? and
now
I turn
back
to fight with
the head
of Persia ;
yea
, I am
going
forth, and
lo
, the head
of Javan
hath
come ;
“Do
you
know
why I have come to
you
? ”
he
said.
“
I must
return
at
once
to fight against
the prince
of Persia, and
when
I have
gone
forth, behold
, the prince
of Greece
will
come .
but I declare
to
thee
that
which
is noted
down
in the Writing
of Truth ,
and
there
is
not
one strengthening
himself
with
me ,
concerning
these, except Michael your head
.
But first
I will
tell
you
what
is inscribed
in the Book
of Truth .
Yet
no
one has
the
courage
to
support
me against
these, except Michael your prince
.
