| 1 | In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel surnamed Baltassar, and a true word, and great strength: and he understood the word: for there is need of understanding in a vision. | 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 those days I Daniel mourned the days of three weeks. | In diebus illis ego Daniel lugebam trium hebdomadarum diebus: |
| 3 | I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine entered into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of three weeks were accomplished. | panem desiderabilem non comedi, et caro et vinum non introierunt in os meum, sed neque unguento unctus sum, donec complerentur trium hebdomadarum dies. |
| 4 | And in the four and twentieth day of the first month I was by the great river which is the Tigris. | Die autem vigesima et quarta mensis primi, eram iuxta fluvium magnum, qui est Tigris. |
| 5 | And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold: | Et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce vir unus vestitus lineis, et renes eius accincti auro obrizo: |
| 6 | And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude. | et corpus eius quasi chrysolithus, et facies eius velut species fulguris, et oculi eius ut lampas ardens: et brachia eius, et quae deorsum sunt usque ad pedes, quasi species aeris candentis: et vox sermonum eius ut vox multitudinis. |
| 7 | And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves. | Vidi autem ego Daniel solus visionem: porro viri qui erant mecum non viderunt, sed terror nimius irruit super eos, et fugerunt in absconditum. |
| 8 | And I being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength. | 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 | And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard, I lay in a consternation, upon my face, and my face was close to the ground. | Et audivi vocem sermonum eius: et audiens iacebam consternatus super faciem meam, et vultus meus haerebat terrae. |
| 10 | And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands. | Et ecce manus tetigit me, et erexit me super genua mea, et super articulos manuum mearum. |
| 11 | And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling. | Et dixit ad me: Daniel vir desideriorum, intellige verba quae ego loquor ad te, et sta in gradu tuo: nunc enim sum missus ad te. Cumque dixisset mihi sermonem istum, steti tremens. |
| 12 | And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words. | 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 | But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians. | Princeps autem regni Persarum restitit mihi viginti et uno diebus: et ecce Michaël, unus de principibus primis, venit in adiutorium meum, et ego remansi ibi iuxta regem Persarum. |
| 14 | But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days. | Veni autem ut docerem te quae ventura sunt populo tuo in novissimis diebus, quoniam adhuc visio in dies. |
| 15 | And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my countenance to the ground, and held my peace. | Cumque loqueretur mihi huiuscemodi verbis, deieci vultum meum ad terram, et tacui. |
| 16 | And behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my Lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me. | 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 dissolutae sunt compages meae, et nihil in me remansit virium. |
| 17 | And how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no strength remaineth in me, moreover my breath is stopped. | Et quomodo poterit servus domini mei loqui cum domino meo? nihil enim in me remansit virium, sed et halitus meus intercluditur. |
| 18 | Therefore he that looked like a man touched me again, and strengthened me. | Rursum ergo tetigit me quasi visio hominis, et confortavit me, |
| 19 | And he said: Fear not, O man of desires, peace be to thee: take courage and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong: and I said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast strengthened me. | 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 | And he said: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming. | Et ait: Numquid scis quare venerim ad te? et nunc revertar ut praelier adversum principem Persarum. Cum ego egrederer, apparuit princeps Graecorum veniens. |
| 21 | But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince. | Verumtamen annuntiabo tibi quod expressum est in scriptura veritatis: et nemo est adiutor meus in omnibus his, nisi Michaël princeps vester. |
