Daniel 10
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
10 Nang ikatlong taon ni Ciro na hari sa Persia ay nahayag ang isang bagay kay Daniel, na ang pangala'y Beltsasar; at ang bagay ay tunay, sa makatuwid baga'y isang malaking pakikipagbaka; at kaniyang naunawa ang bagay at nagkaroon ng unawa tungkol sa pangitain.
2 Nang mga araw na yao'y akong si Daniel ay nanangis na tatlong buong sanglinggo.
3 Hindi ako kumain ng masarap na tinapay, ni pumasok man ang karne ni alak man sa aking bibig, ni naglangis man ako, hanggang sa natapos ang tatlong buong sanglinggo.
4 At nang ikadalawang pu't apat na araw ng unang buwan, palibhasa'y ako'y nasa tabi ng malaking ilog, na siyang Hiddekel.
5 Aking itiningin ang aking mga mata, at tumanaw, at narito, ang isang lalake na nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na ang mga balakang ay binigkisan ng taganas na ginto sa Uphas:
6 Ang kaniyang katawan naman ay gaya ng berilo, at ang kaniyang mukha ay gaya ng anyo ng kidlat, at ang kaniyang mga mata ay gaya ng mga liwanag ng apoy, at ang kaniyang mga kamay at kaniyang mga paa, ay gaya ng kulay ng pinakintab na tanso, at ang tinig ng kaniyang mga salita ay gaya ng tinig ng isang karamihan.
7 At akong si Daniel ang nakakitang magisa ng pangitaing yaon; sapagka't ang mga lalake na kasama ko ay hindi nangakakita ng pangitain; kundi sumakanila ang isang di kawasang panginginig, at sila'y nagsitakas upang magsikubli.
8 Sa gayo'y iniwan akong magisa, at nakakita nitong dakilang pangitain, at nawalan ako ng lakas; sapagka't ang aking kagandahan ay umuwi sa kasiraan at walang nanatiling lakas sa akin.
9 Gayon ma'y narinig ko ang tinig ng kaniyang mga salita; at nang aking marinig ang tinig ng kaniyang mga salita, ako nga'y nagupiling sa isang mahimbing na pagkakatulog, na ang aking mukha ay pasubsob.
10 At, narito, isang kamay ay humipo sa akin, na nagtayo sa akin sa aking mga tuhod at sa mga palad ng aking mga kamay.
11 At sinabi niya sa akin, Oh Daniel, ikaw na lalaking minamahal na mainam, unawain mo ang mga salita na aking sinasalita sa iyo, at tumayo kang matuwid; sapagka't sa iyo'y sinugo ako ngayon. At ng kaniyang masalita ang salitang ito sa akin, ako'y tumayo na nanginginig.
12 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Huwag kang matakot, Daniel; sapagka't mula nang unang araw na iyong ilagak ang iyong puso na makaunawa, at magpakababa sa harap ng iyong Dios, ang iyong mga salita ay dininig: at ako'y naparito alangalang sa iyong mga salita.
13 Nguni't ang prinsipe ng kaharian ng Persia ay nakipagpunyagi sa akin na dalawang pu't isang araw; nguni't, narito, si Miguel ay isa sa mga punong prinsipe, dumating upang tulungan ako: at ako'y natira doon na kasama ng mga hari sa Persia.
14 Ngayo'y naparito ako upang ipatalastas sa iyo kung ano ang mangyayari sa iyong bayan sa mga huling araw; sapagka't ang pangitain ay ukol sa maraming mga araw pa.
15 At nang kaniyang masalita sa akin ang ayon sa mga salitang ito, ay aking itinungo ang aking mukha sa lupa, at ako'y napipi.
16 At, narito, isang gaya ng kahawig ng mga anak ng mga tao ay humipo ng aking mga labi: nang magkagayo'y ibinuka ko ang aking bibig, at ako'y nagsalita, at nagsabi sa kaniya na tumayo sa harap ko, Oh panginoon ko, dahil sa pangitain ay nagbalik sa akin ang aking mga kapanglawan, at hindi nananatili sa akin ang lakas.
17 Sapagka't paanong makikipagusap ang lingkod nitong aking panginoon sa panginoon kong ito? sapagka't tungkol sa akin, ay biglang nawalan ako ng lakas, ni may naiwan mang hininga sa akin.
18 Nang magkagayo'y hinipo uli ako roon ng isa na kamukha ng tao, at kaniyang pinalakas ako.
19 At kaniyang sinabi, Oh taong minamahal na mainam, huwag kang matakot: kapayapaan ang sumaiyo, magpakalakas ka, oo, magpakalakas ka. At nang siya'y magsalita sa akin, ako'y lumakas, at nagsabi, Magsalita ang aking panginoon; sapagka't iyong pinalakas ako.
20 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya, Talastas mo baga kung bakit ako'y naparito sa iyo? at ngayo'y babalik ako upang makipaglaban sa prinsipe sa Persia: at pagka ako'y lumabas, narito, ang prinsipe sa Grecia ay darating.
21 Nguni't aking sasaysayin sa iyo ang nakasulat sa kasulatan ng katotohanan: at walang sinomang tutulong sa akin laban sa mga ito, kundi si Miguel na inyong prinsipe.

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.

Vision of a Glorious One
10 In the third year of King Cyrus of Persia,(A) a message was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar.(B) The message was true and was about a great conflict. He understood the message and had understanding of the vision.(C)
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.(D) 3 I didn’t eat any rich food,(E) no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I didn’t put any oil on my body until the three weeks were over. 4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month,[a] as I was standing on the bank of the great river,(F) the Tigris, 5 I looked up, and there was a man dressed in linen,(G) with a belt of gold(H) from Uphaz[b](I) around his waist. 6 His body was like beryl,[c] his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches,(J) his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.(K)
7 Only I, Daniel, saw the vision.(L) The men who were with me did not see it,(M) but a great terror fell on them,(N) and they ran and hid. 8 I was left alone, looking at this great vision.(O) No strength was left in me; my face grew deathly pale,[d](P) and I was powerless. 9 I heard the words he said, and when I heard them I fell into a deep sleep,[e](Q) with my face to the ground.
Angelic Conflict
10 Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me shaking on my hands and knees. 11 He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man treasured by God.[f](R) Understand the words that I’m saying to you. Stand on your feet,(S) for I have now been sent to you.”(T) After he said this to me, I stood trembling.
12 “Don’t be afraid,(U) Daniel,” he said to me, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God,(V) your prayers were heard. I have come because of your prayers.(W) 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael,(X) one of the chief princes, came to help me after I had been left there with the kings of Persia.(Y) 14 Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the last days,(Z) for the vision refers to those days.”(AA)
15 While he was saying these words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and was speechless.(AB) 16 Suddenly one with human likeness(AC) touched my lips.(AD) I opened my mouth and said to the one standing in front of me, “My lord, because of the vision, anguish overwhelms me and I am powerless.(AE) 17 How can someone like me,(AF) your servant,[g] speak with someone like you, my lord? Now I have no strength, and there is no breath in me.”
18 Then the one with a human appearance touched me again and strengthened me.(AG) 19 He said, “Don’t be afraid,(AH) you who are[h] treasured by God.(AI) Peace to you; be very strong!” (AJ)
As he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”(AK)
20 He said, “Do you know why I’ve come to you? I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I leave, the prince of Greece will come.(AL) 21 However, I will tell you what is recorded in the book of truth. (No one has the courage to support me against those princes except Michael,(AM) your prince.
