1  In the third⁷⁹⁶⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of Cyrus³⁵⁶⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Persia⁶⁵³⁹ a thing¹⁶⁹⁷ was revealed¹⁵⁴⁰ unto Daniel,¹⁸⁴⁰ whose⁸³⁴ name⁸⁰³⁴ was called⁷¹²¹ Belteshazzar;¹⁰⁹⁵ and the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ was true,⁵⁷¹ but the time appointed⁶⁶³⁵ was long:¹⁴¹⁹ and he understood^{995 853} the thing,¹⁶⁹⁷ and had understanding⁹⁹⁸ of the vision.⁴⁷⁵⁸

2  In those¹⁹⁹² days³¹¹⁷ I⁵⁸⁹ Daniel¹⁸⁴⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ mourning⁵⁶ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ full³¹¹⁷ weeks.⁷⁶²⁰

3  I ate³⁹⁸ no³⁸⁰⁸ pleasant²⁵³⁰ bread,³⁸⁹⁹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ came⁹³⁵ flesh¹³²⁰ nor wine³¹⁹⁶ in⁴¹³ my mouth,⁶³¹⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ did I anoint myself at all,^{5480 5480} till⁵⁷⁰⁴ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ whole³¹¹⁷ weeks⁷⁶²⁰ were fulfilled.⁴³⁹⁰

4  And in the four⁷⁰² and twentieth⁶²⁴² day³¹¹⁷ of the first⁷²²³ month,²³²⁰ as I⁵⁸⁹ was¹⁹⁶¹ by⁵⁹²¹ the side³⁰²⁷ of the great¹⁴¹⁹ river,⁵¹⁰⁴ which¹⁹³¹ is Hiddekel;²³¹³

5  Then I lifted up^{5375 853} mine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and behold²⁰⁰⁹ a certain²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ clothed³⁸⁴⁷ in linen,⁹⁰⁶ whose loins⁴⁹⁷⁵ were girded²²⁹⁶ with fine gold³⁸⁰⁰ of Uphaz:²¹⁰

6  His body¹⁴⁷² also was like the beryl,⁸⁶⁵⁸ and his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ as the appearance⁴⁷⁵⁸ of lightning,¹³⁰⁰ and his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ as lamps³⁹⁴⁰ of fire,⁷⁸⁴ and his arms²²²⁰ and his feet⁴⁷⁷² like in color⁵⁸⁶⁹ to polished⁷⁰⁴⁴ brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of his words¹⁶⁹⁷ like the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of a multitude.¹⁹⁹⁵

7  And I⁵⁸⁹ Daniel¹⁸⁴⁰ alone⁹⁰⁵ saw^{7200 853} the vision:⁴⁷⁵⁹ for the men³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ were¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ me saw⁷²⁰⁰ not^{3808 853} the vision;⁴⁷⁵⁹ but⁶¹ a great¹⁴¹⁹ quaking²⁷³¹ fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ them, so that they fled¹²⁷² to hide themselves.²²⁴⁴

8  Therefore I⁵⁸⁹ was left⁷⁶⁰⁴ alone,⁹⁰⁵ and saw^{7200 853} this²⁰⁶³ great¹⁴¹⁹ vision,⁴⁷⁵⁹ and there remained⁷⁶⁰⁴ no³⁸⁰⁸ strength³⁵⁸¹ in me: for my comeliness¹⁹³⁵ was turned²⁰¹⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ me into corruption,⁴⁸⁸⁹ and I retained⁶¹¹³ no³⁸⁰⁸ strength.³⁵⁸¹

9  Yet heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ I ⁸⁵³ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of his words:¹⁶⁹⁷ and when I heard^{8085 853} the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of his words,¹⁶⁹⁷ then was¹⁹⁶¹ I⁵⁸⁹ in a deep sleep⁷²⁹⁰ on⁵⁹²¹ my face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and my face⁶⁴⁴⁰ toward the ground.⁷⁷⁶

10  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ a hand³⁰²⁷ touched⁵⁰⁶⁰ me, which set⁵¹²⁸ me upon⁵⁹²¹ my knees¹²⁹⁰ and upon the palms³⁷⁰⁹ of my hands.³⁰²⁷

11  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, O Daniel,¹⁸⁴⁰ a man³⁷⁶ greatly beloved,²⁵³⁰ understand⁹⁹⁵ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ I⁵⁹⁵ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee, and stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ upright:^{5921 5977} for³⁵⁸⁸ unto⁴¹³ thee am I now⁶²⁵⁸ sent.⁷⁹⁷¹ And when he had spoken^{1696 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ word¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ me, I stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ trembling.⁷⁴⁶⁰

12  Then said⁵⁵⁹ he unto⁴¹³ me, Fear³³⁷² not,⁴⁰⁸ Daniel:¹⁸⁴⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the first⁷²²³ day³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ thou didst set^{5414 853} thine heart³⁸²⁰ to understand,⁹⁹⁵ and to chasten thyself⁶⁰³¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thy God,⁴³⁰ thy words¹⁶⁹⁷ were heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ and I⁵⁸⁹ am come⁹³⁵ for thy words.¹⁶⁹⁷

13  But the prince⁸²⁶⁹ of the kingdom⁴⁴³⁸ of Persia⁶⁵³⁹ withstood^{5975 5048} me one²⁵⁹ and twenty⁶²⁴² days:³¹¹⁷ but, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ Michael,⁴³¹⁷ one²⁵⁹ of the chief⁷²²³ princes,⁸²⁶⁹ came⁹³⁵ to help⁵⁸²⁶ me; and I⁵⁸⁹ remained³⁴⁹⁸ there⁸⁰³³ with⁶⁸¹ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Persia.⁶⁵³⁹

14  Now I am come⁹³⁵ to make thee understand^{995 853} what⁸³⁴ shall befall⁷¹³⁶ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ in the latter³¹⁹ days:³¹¹⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ the vision²³⁷⁷ is for many days.³¹¹⁷

15  And when he had spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ such⁴²⁸ words¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ me, I set⁵⁴¹⁴ my face⁶⁴⁴⁰ toward the ground,⁷⁷⁶ and I became dumb.⁴⁸¹

16  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ one like the similitude¹⁸²³ of the sons¹¹²¹ of men¹²⁰ touched^{5060 5921} my lips:⁸¹⁹³ then I opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ my mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and spoke,¹⁶⁹⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him that stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ me, O my lord,¹¹³ by the vision⁴⁷⁵⁸ my sorrows⁶⁷³⁵ are turned²⁰¹⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ me, and I have retained⁶¹¹³ no³⁸⁰⁸ strength.³⁵⁸¹

17  For how¹⁹⁶³ can³²⁰¹ the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of this²⁰⁸⁸ my lord¹¹³ talk¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ this²⁰⁸⁸ my lord?¹¹³ for as for me,⁵⁸⁹ straightway^{4480 6258} there remained⁵⁹⁷⁵ no³⁸⁰⁸ strength³⁵⁸¹ in me, neither³⁸⁰⁸ is there breath⁵³⁹⁷ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in me.

18  Then there came again³⁵⁸⁴ and touched⁵⁰⁶⁰ me one like the appearance⁴⁷⁵⁸ of a man,¹²⁰ and he strengthened²³⁸⁸ me,

19  And said,⁵⁵⁹ O man³⁷⁶ greatly beloved,²⁵³⁰ fear³³⁷² not:⁴⁰⁸ peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ be unto thee, be strong,²³⁸⁸ yea, be strong.²³⁸⁸ And when he had spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁵⁹⁷³ me, I was strengthened,²³⁸⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Let my lord¹¹³ speak;¹⁶⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast strengthened²³⁸⁸ me.

20  Then said⁵⁵⁹ he, Knowest³⁰⁴⁵ thou wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ I come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee? and now⁶²⁵⁸ will I return⁷⁷²⁵ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ the prince⁸²⁶⁹ of Persia:⁶⁵³⁹ and when I⁵⁸⁹ am gone forth,³³¹⁸ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ the prince⁸²⁶⁹ of Greece³¹²⁰ shall come.⁹³⁵

21  But⁶¹ I will show⁵⁰⁴⁶ thee ⁸⁵³ that which is noted⁷⁵⁵⁹ in the Scripture³⁷⁹¹ of truth:⁵⁷¹ and there is none^{369 259} that holdeth²³⁸⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ me in⁵⁹²¹ these things,⁴²⁸ but^{3588 518} Michael⁴³¹⁷ your prince.⁸²⁶⁹

1 ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ πρώτῳ Κύρου τοῦ βασιλέως Περσῶν πρόσταγμα ἐδείχθη τῷ Δανιηλ ὃς ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα Βαλτασαρ καὶ ἀληθὲς τὸ ὅραμα καὶ τὸ πρόσταγμα καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ ἰσχυρὸν διανοηθήσεται τὸ πρόσταγμα καὶ διενοήθην αὐτὸ ἐν ὁράματι

2 ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐγὼ Δανιηλ ἤμην πενθῶν τρεῖς ἑβδομάδας

3 ἄρτον ἐπιθυμιῶν οὐκ ἔφαγον καὶ κρέας καὶ οἶνος οὐκ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου ἔλαιον οὐκ ἠλειψάμην ἕως τοῦ συντελέσαι με τὰς τρεῖς ἑβδομάδας τῶν ἡμερῶν

4 καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου καὶ ἐγὼ ἤμην ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου ὅς ἐστι Τίγρης

5 καὶ ἦρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος εἷς ἐνδεδυμένος βύσσινα καὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν περιεζωσμένος βυσσίνῳ καὶ ἐκ μέσου αὐτοῦ φῶς

6 καὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ θαρσις καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ὅρασις ἀστραπῆς καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ λαμπάδες πυρός καὶ οἱ βραχίονες αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ πόδες ὡσεὶ χαλκὸς ἐξαστράπτων καὶ φωνὴ λαλιᾶς αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ φωνὴ θορύβου

7 καὶ εἶδον ἐγὼ Δανιηλ τὴν ὅρασιν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ὄντες μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ οὐκ εἴδοσαν τὴν ὅρασιν ταύτην καὶ φόβος ἰσχυρὸς ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς καὶ ἀπέδρασαν ἐν σπουδῇ

8 καὶ ἐγὼ κατελείφθην μόνος καὶ εἶδον τὴν ὅρασιν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατελείφθη ἐν ἐμοὶ ἰσχύς καὶ ἰδοὺ πνεῦμα ἐπεστράφη ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ εἰς φθοράν καὶ οὐ κατίσχυσα

9 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσα τὴν φωνὴν λαλιᾶς αὐτοῦ ἐγὼ ἤμην πεπτωκὼς ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

10 καὶ ἰδοὺ χεῖρα προσήγαγέ μοι καὶ ἤγειρέ με ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων ἐπὶ τὰ ἴχνη τῶν ποδῶν μου

11 καὶ εἶπέν μοι Δανιηλ ἄνθρωπος ἐλεεινὸς εἶ διανοήθητι τοῖς προστάγμασιν οἷς ἐγὼ λαλῶ ἐπὶ σέ καὶ στῆθι ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου σου ἄρτι γὰρ ἀπεστάλην ἐπὶ σέ καὶ ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦτο ἔστην τρέμων

12 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με μὴ φοβοῦ Δανιηλ ὅτι ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς πρώτης ἧς ἔδωκας τὸ πρόσωπόν σου διανοηθῆναι καὶ ταπεινωθῆναι ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου εἰσηκούσθη τὸ ῥῆμά σου καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσῆλθον ἐν τῷ ῥήματί σου

13 καὶ ὁ στρατηγὸς βασιλέως Περσῶν ἀνθειστήκει ἐναντίον μου εἴκοσι καὶ μίαν ἡμέραν καὶ ἰδοὺ Μιχαηλ εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πρώτων ἐπῆλθε βοηθῆσαί μοι καὶ αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ κατέλιπον μετὰ τοῦ στρατηγοῦ τοῦ βασιλέως Περσῶν

14 καὶ εἶπέν μοι ἦλθον ὑποδεῖξαί σοι τί ὑπαντήσεται τῷ λαῷ σου ἐπ᾽ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν ἔτι γὰρ ὅρασις εἰς ἡμέρας

15 καὶ ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν λαλῆσαι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ τὰ προστάγματα ταῦτα ἔδωκα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐσιώπησα

16 καὶ ἰδοὺ ὡς ὁμοίωσις χειρὸς ἀνθρώπου ἥψατό μου τῶν χειλέων καὶ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου καὶ ἐλάλησα καὶ εἶπα τῷ ἑστηκότι ἀπέναντί μου κύριε καὶ ὡς ὅρασις ἀπεστράφη ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν μου ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἰσχύς

17 καὶ πῶς δυνήσεται ὁ παῖς λαλῆσαι μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγὼ ἠσθένησα καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἰσχύς καὶ πνεῦμα οὐ κατελείφθη ἐν ἐμοί

18 καὶ προσέθηκε καὶ ἥψατό μου ὡς ὅρασις ἀνθρώπου καὶ κατίσχυσέ με

19 καὶ εἶπέ μοι ἄνθρωπος ἐλεεινὸς εἶ μὴ φοβοῦ ὑγίαινε ἀνδρίζου καὶ ἴσχυε καὶ ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἴσχυσα καὶ εἶπα λαλησάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὅτι ἐνίσχυσέ με

20 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με γινώσκεις τί ἦλθον πρὸς σέ καὶ νῦν ἐπιστρέψω διαμάχεσθαι μετὰ τοῦ στρατηγοῦ βασιλέως τῶν Περσῶν καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξεπορευόμην καὶ ἰδοὺ στρατηγὸς Ἑλλήνων εἰσεπορεύετο

21 καὶ μάλα ὑποδείξω σοι τὰ πρῶτα ἐν ἀπογραφῇ ἀληθείας καὶ οὐθεὶς ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ὑπὲρ τούτων ἀλλ᾽ ἢ Μιχαηλ ὁ ἄγγελος

1 ἐν ἔτει τρίτῳ Κύρου βασιλέως Περσῶν λόγος ἀπεκαλύφθη τῷ Δανιηλ οὗ τὸ ὄνομα ἐπεκλήθη Βαλτασαρ καὶ ἀληθινὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ δύναμις μεγάλη καὶ σύνεσις ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ὀπτασίᾳ

2 ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐγὼ Δανιηλ ἤμην πενθῶν τρεῖς ἑβδομάδας ἡμερῶν

3 ἄρτον ἐπιθυμιῶν οὐκ ἔφαγον καὶ κρέας καὶ οἶνος οὐκ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου καὶ ἄλειμμα οὐκ ἠλειψάμην ἕως πληρώσεως τριῶν ἑβδομάδων ἡμερῶν

4 ἐν ἡμέρᾳ εἰκοστῇ καὶ τετάρτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου καὶ ἐγὼ ἤμην ἐχόμενα τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου αὐτός ἐστιν Εδδεκελ

5 καὶ ἦρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ εἷς ἐνδεδυμένος βαδδιν καὶ ἡ ὀσφὺς αὐτοῦ περιεζωσμένη ἐν χρυσίῳ Ωφαζ

6 καὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ θαρσις καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ὅρασις ἀστραπῆς καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ λαμπάδες πυρός καὶ οἱ βραχίονες αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ σκέλη ὡς ὅρασις χαλκοῦ στίλβοντος καὶ ἡ φωνὴ τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ ὡς φωνὴ ὄχλου

7 καὶ εἶδον ἐγὼ Δανιηλ μόνος τὴν ὀπτασίαν καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ οὐκ εἶδον τὴν ὀπτασίαν ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἔκστασις μεγάλη ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς καὶ ἔφυγον ἐν φόβῳ

8 καὶ ἐγὼ ὑπελείφθην μόνος καὶ εἶδον τὴν ὀπτασίαν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη ἐν ἐμοὶ ἰσχύς καὶ ἡ δόξα μου μετεστράφη εἰς διαφθοράν καὶ οὐκ ἐκράτησα ἰσχύος

9 καὶ ἤκουσα τὴν φωνὴν τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαί με αὐτοῦ ἤμην κατανενυγμένος καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

10 καὶ ἰδοὺ χεὶρ ἁπτομένη μου καὶ ἤγειρέν με ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατά μου

11 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με Δανιηλ ἀνὴρ ἐπιθυμιῶν σύνες ἐν τοῖς λόγοις οἷς ἐγὼ λαλῶ πρὸς σέ καὶ στῆθι ἐπὶ τῇ στάσει σου ὅτι νῦν ἀπεστάλην πρὸς σέ καὶ ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν πρός με τὸν λόγον τοῦτον ἀνέστην ἔντρομος

12 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με μὴ φοβοῦ Δανιηλ ὅτι ἀπὸ τῆς πρώτης ἡμέρας ἧς ἔδωκας τὴν καρδίαν σου τοῦ συνιέναι καὶ κακωθῆναι ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἠκούσθησαν οἱ λόγοι σου καὶ ἐγὼ ἦλθον ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου

13 καὶ ὁ ἄρχων βασιλείας Περσῶν εἱστήκει ἐξ ἐναντίας μου εἴκοσι καὶ μίαν ἡμέραν καὶ ἰδοὺ Μιχαηλ εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πρώτων ἦλθεν βοηθῆσαί μοι καὶ αὐτὸν κατέλιπον ἐκεῖ μετὰ τοῦ ἄρχοντος βασιλείας Περσῶν

14 καὶ ἦλθον συνετίσαι σε ὅσα ἀπαντήσεται τῷ λαῷ σου ἐπ᾽ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ὅτι ἔτι ἡ ὅρασις εἰς ἡμέρας

15 καὶ ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ κατὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἔδωκα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ κατενύγην

16 καὶ ἰδοὺ ὡς ὁμοίωσις υἱοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἥψατο τῶν χειλέων μου καὶ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου καὶ ἐλάλησα καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὸν ἑστῶτα ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ κύριε ἐν τῇ ὀπτασίᾳ σου ἐστράφη τὰ ἐντός μου ἐν ἐμοί καὶ οὐκ ἔσχον ἰσχύν

17 καὶ πῶς δυνήσεται ὁ παῖς σου κύριε λαλῆσαι μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου τούτου καὶ ἐγὼ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν οὐ στήσεται ἐν ἐμοὶ ἰσχύς καὶ πνοὴ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη ἐν ἐμοί

18 καὶ προσέθετο καὶ ἥψατό μου ὡς ὅρασις ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἐνίσχυσέν με

19 καὶ εἶπέν μοι μὴ φοβοῦ ἀνὴρ ἐπιθυμιῶν εἰρήνη σοι ἀνδρίζου καὶ ἴσχυε καὶ ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἴσχυσα καὶ εἶπα λαλείτω ὁ κύριός μου ὅτι ἐνίσχυσάς με

20 καὶ εἶπεν εἰ οἶδας ἵνα τί ἦλθον πρὸς σέ καὶ νῦν ἐπιστρέψω τοῦ πολεμῆσαι μετὰ ἄρχοντος Περσῶν καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξεπορευόμην καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἤρχετο

21 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἀναγγελῶ σοι τὸ ἐντεταγμένον ἐν γραφῇ ἀληθείας καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εἷς ἀντεχόμενος μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ περὶ τούτων ἀλλ᾽ ἢ Μιχαηλ ὁ ἄρχων ὑμῶν

Vul

1 Anno tertio Cyri regis Persarum, verbum revelatum est Danieli cognomento Baltassar, et verbum verum, et fortitudo magna: intellexitque sermonem: intelligentia enim est opus in visione.

2 In diebus illis ego Daniel lugebam trium hebdomadarum diebus:

3 panem desiderabilem non comedi, et caro et vinum non introierunt in os meum, sed neque unguento unctus sum, donec complerentur trium hebdomadarum dies.

4 Die autem vigesima et quarta mensis primi, eram juxta fluvium magnum, qui est Tigris.

5 Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce vir unus vestitus lineis, et renes ejus accincti auro obrizo:

6 et corpus ejus quasi chrysolithus, et facies ejus velut species fulguris, et oculi ejus ut lampas ardens: et brachia ejus, et quæ deorsum sunt usque ad pedes, quasi species æris candentis: et vox sermonum ejus ut vox multitudinis.

7 Vidi autem ego Daniel solus visionem: porro viri qui erant mecum non viderunt, sed terror nimius irruit super eos, et fugerunt in absconditum.

8 Ego autem relictus solus vidi visionem grandem hanc: et non remansit in me fortitudo, sed et species mea immutata est in me, et emarcui, nec habui quidquam virium.

9 Et audivi vocem sermonum ejus: et audiens jacebam consternatus super faciem meam, et vultus meus hærebat terræ.

10 Et ecce manus tetigit me, et erexit me super genua mea, et super articulos manuum mearum.

11 Et dixit ad me: Daniel vir desideriorum, intellige verba quæ ego loquor ad te, et sta in gradu tuo: nunc enim sum missus ad te. Cumque dixisset mihi sermonem istum, steti tremens.

12 Et ait ad me: Noli metuere, Daniel: quia ex die primo, quo posuisti cor tuum ad intelligendum ut te affligeres in conspectu Dei tui, exaudita sunt verba tua: et ego veni propter sermones tuos.

13 Princeps autem regni Persarum restitit mihi viginti et uno diebus: et ecce Michaël, unus de principibus primis, venit in adjutorium meum, et ego remansi ibi juxta regem Persarum.

14 Veni autem ut docerem te quæ ventura sunt populo tuo in novissimis diebus, quoniam adhuc visio in dies.

15 Cumque loqueretur mihi hujuscemodi verbis, dejeci vultum meum ad terram, et tacui.

16 Et ecce quasi similitudo filii hominis tetigit labia mea: et aperiens os meum locutus sum, et dixi ad eum, qui stabat contra me: Domine mi, in visione tua dissolutæ sunt compages meæ, et nihil in me remansit virium.

17 Et quomodo poterit servus domini mei loqui cum domino meo? nihil enim in me remansit virium, sed et halitus meus intercluditur.

18 Rursum ergo tetigit me quasi visio hominis, et confortavit me,

19 et dixit: Noli timere, vir desideriorum: pax tibi: confortare, et esto robustus. Cumque loqueretur mecum, convalui, et dixi: Loquere, domine mi, quia confortasti me.

20 Et ait: Numquid scis quare venerim ad te? et nunc revertar ut prælier adversum principem Persarum. Cum ego egrederer, apparuit princeps Græcorum veniens.

21 Verumtamen annuntiabo tibi quod expressum est in scriptura veritatis: et nemo est adjutor meus in omnibus his, nisi Michaël princeps vester.
