A visão de Daniel de um homem
10 No terceiro ano do reinado de Ciro, rei da Pérsia, Daniel, também chamado Beltessazar, teve outra visão. Dizia igualmente respeito a acontecimentos a realizarem-se no futuro, tempos de guerra e angústias, e desta vez ele compreendeu o significado da visão.
2 Quando tive esta visão, eu, Daniel, tinha estado de luto três semanas inteiras. 3 Durante todo esse tempo não bebi vinho nem comi carne, nem qualquer comida saborosa. Também não lavei a cabeça, nem cortei o cabelo.
4 Então, no vigésimo quarto dia do primeiro mês do ano[a], estando junto ao grande rio Tigre, 5 reparei numa pessoa junto de mim, vestida de roupa de linho com um cinto de ouro puro de Ufaz à volta da cintura. 6 Tinha a pele brilhante como topázio; saíam-lhe do rosto cintilações e os seus olhos eram como tochas de fogo; os braços e os pés brilhavam também como bronze; quando falava, a voz soava como se se tratasse duma vasta multidão.
7 Só eu, Daniel, vi isto; as pessoas que estavam comigo nada viram. No entanto, sentiram repentinamente um terror inexplicável e foram a correr esconder-se. 8 Apenas eu permaneci ali. Quando vi aquela figura impressionante fiquei sem forças, empalideci e perdi os sentidos.
9 Ele dirigiu-me a palavra, o que fez com que eu caísse com o rosto no chão, desfalecido. 10 Nessa altura, uma mão tocou-me e levantou-me; ainda a tremer fiquei de joelhos. 11 E ouvi: “Daniel, homem muito amado de Deus, ergue-te e ouve atentamente o que tenho a dizer-te, porque foi Deus quem me mandou junto de ti!” Levantei-me, ainda a tremer, e ele continuou:
12 “Não tenhas medo, Daniel, porque as tuas orações são atendidas nos céus e a resposta foi dada logo no primeiro dia em que começaste a jejuar perante o Senhor e a pedir-lhe esclarecimento; nesse mesmo dia fui mandado vir ter contigo. 13 Mas durante vinte e um dias o príncipe que governa o reino da Pérsia opôs-me resistência. Então Miguel, um dos chefes do exército celestial, veio apoiar-me e consegui vencer os reis da Pérsia. 14 Agora, aqui estou para te dizer o que há de acontecer ao teu povo no futuro, porque o cumprimento desta profecia será daqui a muito tempo.”
15 Todo esse tempo, mantive-me de olhos baixos, incapaz de proferir uma palavra. 16 Depois, alguém que me pareceu um homem, tocou-me nos lábios e pude dizer ao mensageiro do céu: “Senhor, estou extremamente perturbado com esta aparição e estou sem forças! 17 Como é que uma pessoa como eu pode falar contigo? Estou desfalecido e até respiro com dificuldade!”
18 Então, aquele que me pareceu ser um homem, tocou-me outra vez e senti as forças voltarem-me novamente. 19 “Deus ama-te muito!”, disse ele. “Não tenhas receio! Acalma-te e anima-te! Sim, anima-te!”
Enquanto me dizia isto, senti-me mais forte e respondi-lhe: “Podes falar, senhor, porque me fortaleceste!”
20 “Sabes a razão por que vim? Quando regressar, enfrentarei de novo o príncipe da Pérsia e depois dele o príncipe da Grécia. 21 Mas estou aqui para te dizer o que está registado na escritura da verdade. Só Miguel, o príncipe de Israel, estará ali para me ajudar.

Vision of the Glorious Man
10 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose (A)name was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, [a]but the appointed time was long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision. 2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. 3 I ate no [b]pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the [c]Tigris, 5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in (B)linen, whose waist was (C)girded with gold of Uphaz! 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, (D)and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. 8 Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my [d]vigor was turned to [e]frailty in me, and I retained no strength. 9 Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard the sound of his words I was in a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.
Prophecies Concerning Persia and Greece
10 (E)Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. 11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, (F)man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Then he said to me, (G)“Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, (H)your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 (I)But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, (J)Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people (K)in the latter days, (L)for the vision refers to many days yet to come.”
15 When he had spoken such words to me, (M)I [f]turned my face toward the ground and became speechless. 16 And suddenly, (N)one having the likeness of the [g]sons of men (O)touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision (P)my sorrows have [h]overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength. 17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.”
18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. 19 (Q)And he said, “O man greatly beloved, (R)fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!”
So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight (S)with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. 21 But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, (T)except Michael your prince.

10 In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a thing was revealed to Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar). And the word was true, but the time appointed was long. And he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 At the same time I, Daniel, was in heaviness for three weeks of days.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, nor came flesh or wine into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three weeks of days were fulfilled.
4 And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of that great river, Hiddekel,
5 I lifted my eyes, and looked. And behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was bound with fine gold of Uphaz.
6 His body also was like the Chrysolite; and his face like the lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire. And his arms and his feet had the color of polished brass. And the voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
7 And I, Daniel, alone, saw the vision. For the men who were with me, saw not the vision. But a great fear fell upon them, so that they fled away and hid themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me. For the strength in me was corrupted, and I retained no power.
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, I slept on my face. And my face was toward the ground.
10 And behold, a hand touched me which set me up upon my knees, and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you. And stand in your place. For to you am I now sent.” And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, 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 because of your words.
13 “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia resisted me twenty-one days. But lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. And I remained there by the kings of Persia.
14 “Now I have come to show you what shall come to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for many days yet to come.”
15 And when he spoke these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and held my tongue.
16 And behold, one looking similar to the sons of man touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by the vision my sorrows have returned upon me. And I have retained no strength.
17 “For how can the servant of this, my lord, talk with my lord, being such one? For there now remains no strength in me, nor is there breath left in me.”
18 Then there came again one having the appearance of a man, who touched me, and strengthened me,
19 And said, “O man, greatly beloved, fear not. Peace be to you. Be strong and of good courage.” And when he had spoken to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak. For you have strengthened me.”
20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight with the Prince of Persia. And when I have gone forth, lo, the Prince of Greece shall come.
21 “But I will show you that which is decreed in the Scripture of truth. And there is no one who upholds me in these things except Michael, your prince.”

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.

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.
