Daniel 10
La Biblia de las Américas
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).

Daniel’s Vision of a Dazzling Heavenly Messenger
10 In the third year of Cyrus the king of the Persians, a word[a] was revealed to Daniel, who was called by his name Belteshazzar, and the word[b] was reliable and it concerned a great tribulation,[c] and he understood the word[d] and he received understanding.[e]
2 In those days, I, Daniel, I myself[f] was in mourning for three whole weeks.[g] 3 I had not eaten any choice food, and meat and wine did not enter my mouth, and I did not use any ointment[h] until the end of three whole weeks.[i] 4 And then on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I myself[j] was on the bank of the great river; that is, the Tigris. 5 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw,[k] and there was a man, and he was dressed in linen, and his waist was girded with the gold of Uphaz. 6 Now his body was like turquoise,[l] and his face was like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like torches of fire, and his arms and his legs were like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words was like the sound of a multitude. 7 And I saw, I, Daniel alone,[m] the vision; and the people who were with me did not see[n] the vision; nevertheless, a great trembling fell upon them and they fled in order to hide themselves. 8 And I myself, Daniel, alone saw this great vision, and as a result no strength was left in me[o] and my complexion grew deathly pale,[p] and I did not retain any strength. 9 And I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard[q] the sound of his words I myself began falling into a trance on my face, with my face to the ground.[r]
10 And look, a hand touched me and it roused me to my knees[s] and the palms[t] of my hands. 11 And he said to me, “Daniel, a man beloved, pay attention to the words that I am speaking to you and stand upright where you are,[u] for I have now been sent to you.” And while he was speaking[v] with me this word,[w] I stood up trembling. 12 And he said to me, “You must not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before[x] your God, your words were heard, and I myself[y] have come because of your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood before me[z] for twenty-one days. And look,[aa] Michael, one of the chief princes, came to assist me, and I left him there beside the king of the Persians. 14 And I have come[ab] to instruct you about what[ac] will happen to your people in the future,[ad] for there is a further vision here for the future.[ae]
15 And while he was speaking with me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and I was speechless. 16 Then look, there was one in the form of a human;[af] he touched my lips and I opened my mouth and I spoke and I said to the one standing before me,[ag] “My lord, because of the vision my anxieties fell upon me and I have not retained my strength. 17 So how am I, a servant of my lord[ah] to speak with you, my lord,[ai] and I just now[aj] have no strength in me?”[ak]
18 And he again touched[al] me, the one in the form of a human,[am] and he strengthened me. 19 And he said, “You must not fear, O beloved man. Peace be to you;[an] be strong and be courageous!” And when he spoke[ao] with me, I was strengthened and I said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” 20 Then he asked, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I return to fight against the prince of Persia and I myself[ap] am going, and look,[aq] the prince of Javan[ar] will come. 21 However, I will tell you what is inscribed[as] in the book of truth, and there is not one who contends with me against these beings except[at] Michael, your prince.”
