Visión de Daniel junto al río Tigris
10 Durante el tercer año del reinado de Ciro de Persia, Daniel, llamado también Beltsasar, tuvo una revelación verdadera, pero de significado muy difícil de entender. Sin embargo, Daniel puso toda su atención en ello y pudo comprender el sentido de la revelación.
2 «En aquellos días, yo, Daniel, estuve muy triste durante tres semanas. 3 No comí alimentos exquisitos, ni probé carne ni vino, ni me puse ningún perfume hasta que pasaron esas tres semanas. 4 El día veinticuatro del primer mes del año, estaba yo a la orilla del gran río Tigris. 5 De pronto, me fijé y vi un hombre vestido con ropas de lino y un cinturón de oro puro. 6 Su cuerpo brillaba como el topacio, su cara resplandecía como un relámpago, sus ojos eran como antorchas encendidas, sus brazos y sus pies brillaban como el bronce, su voz parecía la de una multitud.
7 »Sólo yo pude ver la visión, pues los hombres que estaban conmigo no se dieron cuenta de nada, porque el miedo se apoderó de ellos y corrieron a esconderse. 8 Yo estaba solo cuando tuve esta gran visión. Me puse completamente pálido y sentí que me faltaban las fuerzas. 9 Cuando le oí hablar, caí desmayado y quedé tendido en el suelo. 10 En seguida, una mano me agarró y me levantó, hasta dejarme apoyado sobre mis manos y rodillas. 11 Luego me dijo: “Daniel, a quien Dios ama, escucha bien lo que te voy a decir: levántate; porque yo he sido enviado a ti.”
»Tan pronto como terminó de decir estas palabras, yo, tembloroso, me puse de pie. 12 Entonces me dijo: “No tengas miedo, Daniel, porque desde el primer día en que trataste de comprender las cosas difíciles y decidiste humillarte ante tu Dios, él escuchó tus oraciones. Por eso he venido yo. 13 El ángel príncipe del reino de Persia se me ha opuesto durante veintiún días; pero Miguel, uno de los ángeles príncipes más altos, vino en mi ayuda, pues yo me había quedado solo junto a los reyes de Persia. 14 Así que he venido a explicarte lo que va a pasarle a tu pueblo en el futuro, porque la visión que has tenido se refiere a ese tiempo.”
15 »Mientras me decía esto, yo estaba con la mirada fija en el suelo y sin decir una sola palabra. 16 De pronto, alguien parecido a un hijo de hombre me tocó los labios. Entonces le dije al que estaba ante mí: “Señor, esta visión me ha llenado de angustia y me ha dejado sin fuerzas. 17 ¿Cómo va a poder hablar contigo este siervo tuyo, si estoy completamente sin fuerzas y hasta me falta el aliento?”
18 »Aquel que parecía un hijo de hombre me volvió a tocar, me dio nuevas fuerzas 19 y me dijo: “No tengas miedo ni te preocupes. Dios te ama; ¡anímate y ten valor!”
»Mientras me hablaba, sentí que me iba reanimando, y dije: “Señor, háblame, pues me has devuelto las fuerzas.” 20 Entonces me dijo: “¿Sabes por qué he venido a verte? Pues porque ahora tengo que volver a luchar con el ángel príncipe de Persia. Y cuando haya terminado de luchar con él, vendrá el ángel príncipe de Grecia. 21 Ahora voy a decirte lo que está escrito en el libro de la verdad: En mi lucha contra ellos sólo tengo la ayuda de Miguel, el ángel príncipe de Israel.”

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.

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.
