Daniel Is Terrified by a Vision
10 In the third year of (A)Cyrus king of Persia, a [a]message was revealed to (B)Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar; and the [b](C)message was true and it concerned great [c]conflict, but he understood the [d]message and had an (D)understanding of the vision.
2 In those days, I, Daniel, had been (E)mourning for three [e]entire weeks. 3 I (F)did not eat any [f]tasty food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any ointment at all until the entire three weeks were completed. 4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, while I was by the bank of the great (G)river, that is, the [g]Tigris, 5 I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man (H)dressed in linen, whose waist (I)had a belt of pure (J)gold of Uphaz. 6 His body also was like topaz, his face [h]had the appearance of lightning, (K)his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude. 7 Now I, Daniel, (L)alone saw the vision, while the (M)men who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great (N)fear fell on them, and they ran away to hide themselves. 8 So I was (O)left alone and saw this great vision; yet (P)no strength was left in me, for my complexion turned to [i]a deathly pallor, and I retained no strength. 9 But I heard the sound of his words; and as soon as I heard the sound of his words, I (Q)fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.
Daniel Comforted
10 Then behold, a hand (R)touched me and shook me on my [j]hands and knees. 11 And he said to me, “(S)Daniel, [k]you who are treasured, (T)understand the words that I am about to tell you and (U)stand at your place, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up (V)trembling. 12 Then he said to me, “(W)Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on (X)humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come (Y)in response to your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing [l]in my way for twenty-one days; then behold, (Z)Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to (AA)explain to you what will happen to your people in the [m](AB)latter days, because the vision pertains to (AC)the days still future.”
15 When he had spoken to me according to these words, I [n]turned my face toward the ground and became (AD)speechless. 16 And behold, [o](AE)one who resembled a human was (AF)touching my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, “My lord, due to the vision [p](AG)anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength. 17 For (AH)how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now (AI)no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me.”
18 Then this one with human appearance touched me again and (AJ)strengthened me. 19 And he said, “[q]You who are treasured, (AK)do not be afraid. Peace be to you; take (AL)courage and be courageous!” Now as soon as he spoke to me, I felt strengthened and said, “May my lord speak, for you have (AM)strengthened me.” 20 Then he said, “Do you [r]understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am leaving, and behold, the (AN)prince of [s]Greece is about to come. 21 However, I will tell you what is recorded in the writing of (AO)truth. Yet there is no one who [t]stands firmly with me against these forces except (AP)Michael your prince.

Daniel 10
King James Version
10 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto 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 mine 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 colour 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 heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine 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 am 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 unto me, I set my face toward 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 spake, and said unto 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, straightway 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 unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto 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 shew 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.

Visión junto al Tigris
10 En el año tercero de Ciro, rey de Persia, un mensaje[a] fue revelado a Daniel(A), a quien llamaban Beltsasar(B). El mensaje[b] era verdadero y acerca de un gran conflicto[c]; él comprendió el mensaje[d] y tuvo entendimiento de la visión(C). 2 En aquellos días, yo, Daniel, había estado en duelo(D) durante tres semanas completas. 3 No comí manjar delicado[e] ni entró en mi boca carne ni vino(E), ni usé ungüento alguno, hasta que se cumplieron las tres semanas. 4 Y el día veinticuatro del primer mes, estando yo junto a la orilla del gran río(F), es decir, el Tigris[f], 5 alcé los ojos y miré, y he aquí, había un hombre vestido de lino(G), cuya cintura estaba ceñida con un cinturón de oro(H) puro de Ufaz(I). 6 Su cuerpo era como de berilo[g], su rostro tenía[h] la apariencia de un relámpago, sus ojos eran como antorchas de fuego, sus brazos y pies como el brillo del bronce bruñido(J), y el sonido de sus palabras como el estruendo de una multitud. 7 Y solo yo, Daniel, vi la visión(K); los hombres que estaban conmigo no vieron la visión(L), pero un gran terror(M) cayó sobre ellos y huyeron a esconderse. 8 Me quedé solo(N) viendo esta gran visión; no me quedaron fuerzas, y mi rostro[i] se demudó, desfigurándose(O), sin retener yo fuerza alguna. 9 Pero oí el sonido de sus palabras, y al oír el sonido de sus palabras, caí en un sueño profundo sobre mi rostro, con mi rostro en tierra(P).
10 Entonces, he aquí, una mano me tocó(Q), y me hizo temblar sobre mis rodillas y sobre las palmas de mis manos. 11 Y me dijo: Daniel, hombre muy estimado[j](R), entiende(S) las palabras que te voy a decir y ponte en pie[k](T), porque ahora he sido enviado a ti. Cuando él me dijo estas palabras, me puse en pie temblando(U). 12 Entonces me dijo: No temas(V), Daniel, porque desde el primer día en que te propusiste en tu corazón entender y humillarte delante de tu Dios, fueron oídas tus palabras, y a causa de tus palabras he venido(W). 13 Mas el príncipe del reino de Persia se me opuso[l] por veintiún días, pero he aquí, Miguel, uno de los primeros príncipes(X), vino en mi ayuda, ya que yo había sido dejado allí con los reyes de Persia. 14 Y he venido para darte a conocer(Y) lo que sucederá a tu pueblo al final de los días(Z), porque la visión es para días aún lejanos(AA). 15 Cuando habló conmigo estas palabras, volví[m] mi rostro a tierra y enmudecí(AB). 16 Y he aquí, uno semejante a un hombre[n](AC) tocó mis labios; entonces abrí mi boca y hablé(AD), y dije al que estaba delante de mí: Señor mío, a causa de la visión me ha invadido la angustia[o] y me he quedado sin fuerzas(AE). 17 ¿Cómo podrá, pues, este siervo de mi señor hablar con uno como mi señor(AF)? Porque a mí en este momento no me queda fuerza alguna, ni tampoco me queda aliento(AG).
18 Entonces el que tenía semejanza de hombre me tocó otra vez y me fortaleció(AH), 19 y me dijo: No temas, hombre muy estimado[p]. La paz sea contigo[q](AI); sé fuerte y esfuérzate(AJ). Cuando habló conmigo, recobré las fuerzas, y dije: Hable mi señor, porque me has fortalecido(AK). 20 Entonces él dijo: ¿Sabes por qué he venido a ti? Ahora vuelvo para luchar contra el príncipe[r] de Persia, y cuando yo termine[s], he aquí, el príncipe[t] de Grecia[u](AL) vendrá. 21 Sin embargo, te declararé lo que está inscrito en el libro de la verdad, pero no hay nadie que se mantenga firme a mi lado[v](AM) contra estas fuerzas, sino Miguel, vuestro príncipe(AN).

Luther Bibel 1545
10 Im dritten Jahr des Königs Kores aus Persien ward dem Daniel, der Beltsazar heißt, etwas offenbart, das gewiß ist und von großen Sachen; und er merkte darauf und verstand das Gesicht wohl.
2 Zur selben Zeit war ich, Daniel, traurig drei Wochen lang.
3 Ich aß keine leckere Speise, Fleisch und Wein kam nicht in meinen Mund, und salbte mich auch nie, bis die drei Wochen um waren.
4 Und am vierundzwanzigsten Tage des Monats war ich bei dem großen Wasser Hiddekkel
5 und hob meine Augen auf und sah, und siehe, da stand ein Mann in Leinwand und hatte einen goldenen Gürtel um seine Lenden.
6 Sein Leib war wie Türkis, sein Antlitz wie ein Blitz, seine Augen wie feurige Fackeln, seine Arme und Füße wie helles, glattes Erz, und seine Rede war wie ein großes Getön.
7 Ich, Daniel, aber sah solch Gesicht allein, und die Männer, so bei mir waren, sahen's nicht; doch fiel ein großer Schrecken über sie, daß sie flohen und sich verkrochen.
8 Und ich blieb allein und sah dies große Gesicht. Es blieb aber keine Kraft in mir, und ich ward sehr entstellt und hatte keine Kraft mehr.
9 Und ich hörte seine Rede; und in dem ich sie hörte, sank ich ohnmächtig auf mein Angesicht zur Erde.
10 Und siehe, eine Hand rührte mich an und half mir auf die Kniee und auf die Hände,
11 und er sprach zu mir: Du, lieber Daniel, merke auf die Worte, die ich mit dir rede, und richte dich auf; denn ich bin jetzt zu dir gesandt. Und da er solches mit mir redete, richtete ich mich auf und zitterte.
12 Und er sprach zu mir: Fürchte dich nicht, Daniel; denn von dem ersten Tage an, da du von Herzen begehrtest zu verstehen und dich kasteitest vor deinem Gott, sind deine Worte erhört; und ich bin gekommen um deinetwillen.
13 Aber der Fürst des Königreiches im Perserland hat mir einundzwanzig Tage widerstanden; und siehe, Michael, der vornehmsten Fürsten einer, kam mir zu Hilfe; da behielt ich den Sieg bei den Königen in Persien.
14 Nun aber komme ich, daß ich dich unterrichte, wie es deinem Volk hernach gehen wird; denn das Gesicht wird erst nach etlicher Zeit geschehen.
15 Und als er solches mit mir redete, schlug ich mein Angesicht nieder zur Erde und schwieg still.
16 Und siehe, einer, gleich einem Menschen, rührte meine Lippen an. Da tat ich meinen Mund auf und redete und sprach zu dem, der vor mir stand: Mein HERR, meine Gelenke beben mir über dem Gesicht, und ich habe keine Kraft mehr;
17 und wie kann der Knecht meines HERRN mit meinem HERRN reden, weil nun keine Kraft mehr in mir ist und ich auch keinen Odem mehr habe?
18 Da rührte einer, gleich wie ein Mensch gestaltet, mich abermals an und stärkte mich
19 und sprach: Fürchte dich nicht, du lieber Mann! Friede sei mit dir! Und sei getrost, sei getrost! Und als er mit mir redete, ermannte ich mich und sprach: Mein HERR rede! denn du hast mich gestärkt.
20 Und er sprach: Weißt du auch, warum ich zu dir gekommen bin? Jetzt will ich wieder hin und mit dem Fürsten in Perserland streiten; aber wenn ich wegziehe, siehe, so wird der Fürst von Griechenland kommen.
21 Doch ich will dir anzeigen, was geschrieben ist, was gewiß geschehen wird. Und es ist keiner, der mir hilft wider jene, denn euer Fürst Michael,
