ASVs · chapter 10
1 I n the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 a thingH1697 was revealedH1540 unto Daniel,H1840 whose nameH8034 was calledH7121 Belteshazzar;H1095 and the thingH1697 was true,H571 even a greatH1419 warfare:H6635 and he understoodH995 the thing,H1697 and had understandingH998 of the vision.H4758
2 In those daysH3117 I, Daniel,H1840 was mourningH56 threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeks.H7620
3 I ateH398 no pleasantH2532 bread,H3899 neither cameH935 fleshH1320 nor wineH3196 into my mouth,H6310 neither did I anointH5480 myself at all,H5480 till threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeksH7620 were fulfilled.H4390
4 And in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 month,H2320 as I was by the sideH3027 of the greatH1419 river,H5104 which is Hiddekel,H2313
5 I lifted upH5375 mine eyes,H5869 and looked,H7200 and, behold, aH259 manH376 clothedH3847 in linen,H906 whose loinsH4975 were girdedH2296 with pure goldH3800 of Uphaz:H210
6 his bodyH1472 also was like the beryl,H8658 and his faceH6440 as the appearanceH4758 of lightning,H1300 and his eyesH5869 as flamingH784 torches,H3940 and his armsH2220 and his feetH4772 likeH5869 unto burnishedH7044 brass,H5178 and the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697 like the voiceH6963 of a multitude.H1995
7 And I, Daniel,H1840 alone sawH7200 the vision;H4759 for the menH582 that were with me sawH7200 not the vision;H4759 butH61 a greatH1419 quakingH2731 fellH5307 upon them, and they fledH1272 to hideH2244 themselves.
8 So I was left alone,H7604 and sawH7200 this greatH1419 vision,H4759 and there remainedH7604 no strengthH3581 in me; for my comelinessH1935 was turnedH2015 in me into corruption,H4889 and I retainedH6113 no strength.H3581
9 Yet heardH8085 I the voiceH6963 of his words;H1697 and when I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of his words,H1697 then was I fallen into a deep sleepH7290 on my face,H6440 with my faceH6440 toward the ground.H776
10 And, behold, a handH3027 touchedH5060 me, which setH5128 me upon my kneesH1290 and upon the palmsH3709 of my hands.H3027
11 And he saidH559 unto me, O Daniel,H1840 thou manH376 greatly beloved,H2532 understandH995 the wordsH1697 that I speakH1696 unto thee, and standH5975 upright;H5977 for unto thee am I now sent.H7971 And when he had spokenH1696 this wordH1697 unto me, I stoodH5975 trembling.H7460
12 Then saidH559 he unto me, FearH3372 not, Daniel;H1840 for from the firstH7223 dayH3117 that thou didst setH5414 thy heartH3820 to understand,H995 and to humbleH6031 thyself beforeH6440 thy God,H430 thy wordsH1697 were heard:H8085 and I am comeH935 for thy words'H1697 sake.
13 But the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 withstoodH5975 me oneH259 and twentyH6242 days;H3117 but, lo, Michael,H4317 oneH259 of the chiefH7223 princes,H8269 cameH935 to helpH5826 me: and I remainedH3498 there withH681 the kingsH4428 of Persia.H6539
14 Now I am comeH935 to make thee understandH995 what shall befallH7136 thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 days;H3117 for the visionH2377 is yet for [many] days:H3117
15 and when he had spokenH1696 unto me according to these words,H1697 I setH5414 my faceH6440 toward the ground,H776 and was dumb.H481
16 And, behold, one in the likenessH1823 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 touchedH5060 my lips:H8193 then I openedH6605 my mouth,H6310 and spakeH1696 and saidH559 unto him that stoodH5975 before me, O my lord,H113 by reason of the visionH4759 my sorrowsH6735 are turnedH2015 upon me, and I retainH6113 no strength.H3581
17 For howH1963 canH3201 the servantH5650 of this my lordH113 talkH1696 with this my lord?H113 for as for me, straightwayH6258 there remainedH5975 no strengthH3581 in me, neither was there breathH5397 leftH7604 in me.
18 Then there touchedH5060 me againH3254 one like the appearanceH4758 of a man,H120 and he strengthenedH2388 me.
19 And he said,H559 O manH376 greatly beloved,H2532 fearH3372 not: peaceH7965 be unto thee, be strong,H2388 yea, be strong.H2388 And when he spakeH1696 unto me, I was strengthened,H2388 and said,H559 Let my lordH113 speak;H1696 for thou hast strengthenedH2388 me.
20 Then saidH559 he, KnowestH3045 thou wherefore I am comeH935 unto thee? and now will I returnH7725 to fightH3898 with the princeH8269 of Persia:H6539 and when I go forth,H3318 lo, the princeH8269 of GreeceH3120 shall come.H935
21 ButH61 I will tellH5046 thee that which is inscribedH7559 in the writingH3791 of truth:H571 and there is noneH259 that holdethH2388 with me against these, but MichaelH4317 your prince.H8269
