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.

Danielova vizija pokraj rijeke Tigris

10 U trećoj godini vladavine perzijskoga kralja Kira, Danielu (Beltešasaru) su bile pokazane određene objave. Bilo ih je teško razumjeti, ali on ih je razumio uz pomoć vizije.

2 »U to vrijeme, ja, Daniel, bio sam tri tjedna u žalosti. 3 Tijekom tog sam vremena uzimao samo najjednostavnija jela, bez mesa i bez vina. I nisam se uređivao.

4 U prvome mjesecu[a], dvadeset i četvrtog dana, stajao sam na obali velike rijeke Tigris. 5 Ugledao sam pred sobom čovjeka koji je na sebi nosio odjeću od lana i pojas od čistog zlata[b]. 6 Tijelo mu je bilo kao glatki, blistavi dragi kamen, lice kao da je obasjano munjom, a oči kao buktinje. Njegove su ruke i noge bile glatke i sjajne kao uglancana bronca, a glas mu je zvučao kao buka mnoštva ljudi.

7 Ja, Daniel, jedini sam vidio ovu viziju. Ljudi, koji su bili sa mnom, nisu vidjeli ništa. No ipak ih je obuzeo užasan strah. Pobjegli su i sakrili se. 8 Ostao sam sâm. Gledajući ovu veličanstvenu viziju, ostao sam bez imalo snage. Lice mi je posve problijedjelo. Bio sam bespomoćan. 9 Tada sam začuo govor čovjeka iz svoje vizije. Dok sam ga slušao, pao sam licem na tlo i ostao bez svijesti.

10 Potom me nečija ruka dotakla i podigla na ruke i koljena. Sav sam drhtao. 11 Čovjek mi je rekao: ‘Daniele, Bog te jako voli. Dobro razmisli o onome što ću ti reći. Ustani! Poslan sam k tebi.’ Kad je to rekao, drhteći sam ustao. 12 Govorio mi je dalje: ‘Ne boj se, Daniele. Bog te sluša od prvog dana, otkad si odlučio primiti razumijevanje tako što si se ponizio pred svojim Bogom. Ja sam ovdje zbog tvojih molitvi. 13 Suprotstavio mi se anđeo zaštitnik[c] Perzije. Borili smo se dvadeset i jedan dan, a onda mi je upomoć došao Mihael, jedan od anđela zaštitnika višeg ranga, jer sam ostao sâm s kraljevima Perzije. 14 Sada sam ti došao objasniti što će dogoditi tvom narodu u budućnosti. Vizija se odnosi na buduće vrijeme.’

15 Dok je govorio, oborio sam pogled prema tlu i zanijemio. 16 Tada je onaj koji je izgledao kao čovjek dotaknuo moje usne pa sam mogao govoriti. Onome koji je stajao preda mnom, rekao sam: ‘Gospodaru, muči me ono što sam vidio. Osjećam se potpuno bespomoćan. 17 Ja sam tvoj sluga. Kako da razgovaram s tobom? Snaga me napustila i jedva dišem.’

18 Opet me dotaknuo onaj koji je izgledao kao čovjek. To me osnažilo. 19 Rekao mi je: ‘Ne boj se. Bog te jako voli. Mir tebi! Budi snažan i hrabar!’

Kad je to rekao, ohrabrio sam se. Rekao sam mu: ‘Dao si mi snagu. Sad mi govori, gospodine!’

20 A on mi je rekao: ‘Znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? Uskoro se moram vratiti u borbu protiv anđela zaštitnika Perzije, a poslije njega će doći anđeo zaštitnik Grčke. 21 No prvo ću ti reći što piše u Knjizi istine. U borbi protiv tih anđela nitko mi ne pomaže osim Mihaela, anđela zaštitnika tvog naroda.’«

New International Version

Daniel’s Vision of a Man

10 In the third year of Cyrus(A) king of Persia, a revelation was given to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar).(B) Its message was true(C) and it concerned a great war.[a] The understanding of the message came to him in a vision.

2 At that time I, Daniel, mourned(D) for three weeks. 3 I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips;(E) and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over.

4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank(F) of the great river, the Tigris,(G) 5 I looked up(H) and there before me was a man dressed in linen,(I) with a belt of fine gold(J) from Uphaz around his waist. 6 His body was like topaz,(K) his face like lightning,(L) his eyes like flaming torches,(M) his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze,(N) and his voice(O) like the sound of a multitude.

7 I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision; those who were with me did not see it,(P) but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled and hid themselves. 8 So I was left alone,(Q) gazing at this great vision; I had no strength left,(R) my face turned deathly pale(S) and I was helpless.(T) 9 Then I heard him speaking, and as I listened to him, I fell into a deep sleep, my face to the ground.(U)

10 A hand touched me(V) and set me trembling on my hands and knees.(W) 11 He said, “Daniel, you who are highly esteemed,(X) consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up,(Y) for I have now been sent to you.” And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling.

12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid,(Z) Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble(AA) yourself before your God, your words(AB) were heard, and I have come in response to them.(AC) 13 But the prince(AD) of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael,(AE) one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain(AF) to you what will happen to your people in the future,(AG) for the vision concerns a time yet to come.(AH)”

15 While he was saying this to me, I bowed with my face toward the ground and was speechless.(AI) 16 Then one who looked like a man[b] touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and began to speak.(AJ) I said to the one standing before me, “I am overcome with anguish(AK) because of the vision, my lord, and I feel very weak. 17 How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe.”(AL)

18 Again the one who looked like a man touched(AM) me and gave me strength.(AN) 19 “Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,”(AO) he said. “Peace!(AP) Be strong now; be strong.”(AQ)

When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, since you have given me strength.”(AR)

20 So he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Soon I will return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece(AS) will come; 21 but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth.(AT) (No one supports me against them except Michael,(AU) your prince.
