Daniel 10

 1. In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Cyrus

<3566 Kowresh

> king <4428 melek > of Persia <6539 Parac > a thing <1697 dabar

> was

revealed <1540 galah > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, whose <0834

>aher > name

<8034 shem > was called <7121 qara> > Belteshazzar <1095

Belt@sha>tstsar >;

and the thing <1697 dabar > [was] true <0571 >emeth >, but the

time appointed

<6635 tsaba> > [was] long <1419 gadowl >: and he understood

<0995 biyn > the

thing <1697 dabar >, and had understanding <0998 biynah > of the

vision <4758

mar>eh >.

 2 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > I Daniel <1840

Daniye>l > was

mourning <56> three <7969 shalowsh > full <3117 yowm > weeks

<7620 shabuwa<

>.

 3 I ate <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > pleasant <2530 chamad >

bread <3899

lechem >, neither <3808 lo> > came <0935 bow> > flesh <1320

basar > nor <3808

lo> > wine <3196 yayin > in my mouth <6310 peh >, neither <3808

lo> > did I

anoint <5480 cuwk > myself at all, till <5704 <ad > three <7969

shalowsh >

whole <3117 yowm > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > were fulfilled <4390

male> >.

 4 And in the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym >

day <3117

yowm > of the first <7223 ri>shown > month <2320 chodesh >, as I

was by the

side <3027 yad > of the great <1419 gadowl > river <5104 nahar >,

 which <1931

huw> > [is] Hiddekel <2313 Chiddeqel >;

 5 Then I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine eyes <5869 <ayin >, and

looked <7200

ra>ah >, and behold <2009 hinneh > a certain <0259 >echad > man

<0376 >iysh >

clothed <3847 labash > in linen <0906 bad >, whose loins <4975

mothen >

[were] girded <2296 chagar > with fine gold <3800 kethem > of

Uphaz <0210

>Uwphaz >:

 6 His body <1472 g@viyah > also [was] like the beryl <8658

tarshiysh >, and

his face <6440 paniym > as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of

lightning <1300

baraq >, and his eyes <5869 <ayin > as lamps <3940 lappiyd > of

fire <0784

>esh >, and his arms <2220 z@rowa< > and his feet <4772 marg@lah

> like in

colour <5869 <ayin > to polished <7044 qalal > brass <5178

n@chosheth >, and

the voice <6963 qowl > of his words <1697 dabar > like the voice

<6963 qowl >

of a multitude <1995 hamown >.

 7 And I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > alone <0905 bad > saw <7200

ra>ah > the

vision <4759 mar>ah >: for the men <0582 >enowsh > that were

with me saw

<7200 ra>ah > not the vision <4759 mar>ah >; but a great <1419

gadowl >

quaking <2731 charadah > fell <5307 naphal > upon them, so that

they fled

<1272 barach > to hide <2244> themselves.

 8 Therefore I was left <7604 sha>ar > alone <0905 bad >, and

saw <7200 ra>ah

> this great <1419 gadowl > vision <4759 mar>ah >, and there

remained <7604

sha>ar > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach > in me: for my

comeliness <1935

howd > was turned <2015 haphak > in me into corruption <4889

mashchiyth >,

and I retained <6113 <atsar > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581

koach >.

 9 Yet heard <8085 shama< > I the voice <6963 qowl > of his

words <1697 dabar

>: and when I heard <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of his

words <1697

dabar >, then was I in a deep <7290 radam > sleep <7290 radam >

on my face

<6440 paniym >, and my face <6440 paniym > toward the ground

<0776 >erets >.

 10. And, behold <2009 hinneh >, an hand <3027 yad > touched

<5060 naga< >

me, which set <5128 nuwa< > me upon my knees <1290 berek > and

[upon] the

palms <3709 kaph > of my hands <3027 yad >.

 11 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me, O Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >,

 a man <0376

>iysh > greatly beloved <2530 chamad >, understand <0995 biyn >

the words

<1697 dabar > that I speak <1696 dabar > unto thee, and stand

<5975 <amad >

upright <5977 <omed >: for unto thee am I now <6258 <attah >

sent <7971

shalach >. And when he had spoken <1696 dabar > this <2088 zeh >

word <1697

dabar > unto me, I stood <5975 <amad > trembling <7460>.

 12 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me, Fear <3372 yare> > not,

Daniel <1840

Daniye>l >: for from the first <7223 ri>shown > day <3117 yowm >

that thou

didst set <5414 nathan > thine heart <3820 leb > to understand

<0995 biyn >,

and to chasten <6031 <anah > thyself before <6440 paniym > thy

God <0430

>elohiym >, thy words <1697 dabar > were heard <8085 shama< >,

and I am come

<0935 bow> > for thy words <1697 dabar >.

 13 But the prince <8269 sar > of the kingdom <4438 malkuwth >

of Persia

<6539 Parac > withstood <5975 <amad > me one <0259 >echad > and

twenty <6242

<esriym > days <3117 yowm >: but, lo <2009 hinneh >, Michael

<4317 Miyka>el

>, one <0259 >echad > of the chief <7223 ri>shown > princes

<8269 sar >, came

<0935 bow> > to help <5826 <azar > me; and I remained <3498

yathar > there

<8033 sham > with the kings <4428 melek > of Persia <6539 Parac

>.

 14 Now I am come <0935 bow> > to make thee understand <0995

biyn > what

shall befall <7136 qarah > thy people <5971 <am > in the latter

<0319

>achariyth > days <3117 yowm >: for yet <5750 <owd > the vision

<2377 chazown

> [is] for [many] days <3117 yowm >.

 15 And when he had spoken <1696 dabar > such <0428 >el-leh >

words <1697

dabar > unto me, I set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym >

toward the

ground <0776 >erets >, and I became <0481 >alam > dumb <0481

>alam >.

 16 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, [one] like the similitude <1823

d@muwth > of

the sons <1121 ben > of men <0120 >adam > touched <5060 naga< >

my lips <8193

saphah >: then I opened <6605 pathach > my mouth <6310 peh >,

and spake <1696

dabar >, and said <0559 >amar > unto him that stood <5975 <amad

> before

<6440 paniym > me, O my lord <0113 >adown >, by the vision <4758

mar>eh > my

sorrows <6735 tsiyr > are turned <2015 haphak > upon me, and I

have retained

<6113 <atsar > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach >.

 17 For how <1963 heyk > can <3201 yakol > the servant <5650

<ebed > of this

<2088 zeh > my lord <0113 >adown > talk <1696 dabar > with this

<2088 zeh >

my lord <0113 >adown >? for as for me, straightway <6258 <attah

> there

remained <5975 <amad > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach > in

me, neither

<3808 lo> > is there breath <5397 n@shamah > left <7604 sha>ar >

in me.

 18 Then there came again <3284 ya<anah > and touched <5060

naga< > me [one]

like the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a man <0120 >adam >, and he

strengthened <2388 chazaq > me,

 19 And said <0559 >amar >, O man <0376 >iysh > greatly beloved

<2530 chamad

>, fear <3372 yare> > not: peace <7965 shalowm > [be] unto thee,

be strong

<2388 chazaq >, yea, be strong <2388 chazaq >. And when he had

spoken <1696

dabar > unto me, I was strengthened <2388 chazaq >, and said

<0559 >amar >,

Let my lord <0113 >adown > speak <1696 dabar >; for thou hast

strengthened

<2388 chazaq > me.

 20 Then said <0559 >amar > he, Knowest <3045 yada< > thou

wherefore <4100

mah > I come <0935 bow> > unto thee? and now <6258 <attah > will

I return

<7725 shuwb > to fight <3898 lacham > with the prince <8269 sar

> of Persia

<6539 Parac >: and when I am gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

yatsa> >, lo

<2009 hinneh >, the prince <8269 sar > of Grecia <3120 Yavan >

shall come

<0935 bow> >.

 21 But I will shew <5046 nagad > thee that which is noted <7559

rasham > in

the scripture <3791 kathab > of truth <0571 >emeth >: and [there

is] none

<0369 >ayin > that holdeth <2388 chazaq > with me in these <0428

>el-leh >

things, but Michael <4317 Miyka>el > your prince <8269 sar >.
