Daniel 10 (WEBP)

[1] In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
[2] In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
[3] I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
[4] In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
[5] I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
[6] His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
[7] I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
[8] So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
[9] Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
[10] Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
[11] He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
[12] Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
[13] But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
[14] Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
[15] When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
[16] Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
[17] For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
[18] Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
[19] He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” 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? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
[21] But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.

Daniel 10 (BYZ)

[1] εν ετει τριτω κυρου βασιλεως περσων λογος απεκαλυφθη τω δανιηλ ου το ονομα επεκληθη βαλτασαρ και αληθινος ο λογος και δυναμις μεγαλη και συνεσις εδοθη αυτω εν τη οπτασια
[2] εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις εγω δανιηλ ημην πενθων τρεις εβδομαδας ημερων
[3] αρτον επιθυμιων ουκ εφαγον και κρεας και οινος ουκ εισηλθεν εις το στομα μου και αλειμμα ουκ ηλειψαμην εως πληρωσεως τριων εβδομαδων ημερων
[4] εν ημερα εικοστη και τεταρτη του μηνος του πρωτου και εγω ημην εχομενα του ποταμου του μεγαλου αυτος εστιν εδδεκελ
[5] και ηρα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου ανηρ εις ενδεδυμενος βαδδιν και η οσφυς αυτου περιεζωσμενη εν χρυσιω ωφαζ
[6] και το σωμα αυτου ωσει θαρσις και το προσωπον αυτου ωσει ορασις αστραπης και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ωσει λαμπαδες πυρος και οι βραχιονες αυτου και τα σκελη ως ορασις χαλκου στιλβοντος και η φωνη των λογων αυτου ως φωνη οχλου
[7] και ειδον εγω δανιηλ μονος την οπτασιαν και οι ανδρες οι μετ εμου ουκ ειδον την οπτασιαν αλλ η εκστασις μεγαλη επεπεσεν επ αυτους και εφυγον εν φοβω
[8] και εγω υπελειφθην μονος και ειδον την οπτασιαν την μεγαλην ταυτην και ουχ υπελειφθη εν εμοι ισχυς και η δοξα μου μετεστραφη εις διαφθοραν και ουκ εκρατησα ισχυος
[9] και ηκουσα την φωνην των λογων αυτου και εν τω ακουσαι με αυτου ημην κατανενυγμενος και το προσωπον μου επι την γην
[10] και ιδου χειρ απτομενη μου και ηγειρεν με επι τα γονατα μου
[11] και ειπεν προς με δανιηλ ανηρ επιθυμιων συνες εν τοις λογοις οις εγω λαλω προς σε και στηθι επι τη στασει σου οτι νυν απεσταλην προς σε και εν τω λαλησαι αυτον προς με τον λογον τουτον ανεστην εντρομος
[12] και ειπεν προς με μη φοβου δανιηλ οτι απο της πρωτης ημερας ης εδωκας την καρδιαν σου του συνιεναι και κακωθηναι εναντιον του θεου σου ηκουσθησαν οι λογοι σου και εγω ηλθον εν τοις λογοις σου
[13] και ο αρχων βασιλειας περσων ειστηκει εξ εναντιας μου εικοσι και μιαν ημεραν και ιδου μιχαηλ εις των αρχοντων των πρωτων ηλθεν βοηθησαι μοι και αυτον κατελιπον εκει μετα του αρχοντος βασιλειας περσων
[14] και ηλθον συνετισαι σε οσα απαντησεται τω λαω σου επ εσχατων των ημερων οτι ετι η ορασις εις ημερας
[15] και εν τω λαλησαι αυτον μετ εμου κατα τους λογους τουτους εδωκα το προσωπον μου επι την γην και κατενυγην
[16] και ιδου ως ομοιωσις υιου ανθρωπου ηψατο των χειλεων μου και ηνοιξα το στομα μου και ελαλησα και ειπα προς τον εστωτα εναντιον εμου κυριε εν τη οπτασια σου εστραφη τα εντος μου εν εμοι και ουκ εσχον ισχυν
[17] και πως δυνησεται ο παις σου κυριε λαλησαι μετα του κυριου μου τουτου και εγω απο του νυν ου στησεται εν εμοι ισχυς και πνοη ουχ υπελειφθη εν εμοι
[18] και προσεθετο και ηψατο μου ως ορασις ανθρωπου και ενισχυσεν με
[19] και ειπεν μοι μη φοβου ανηρ επιθυμιων ειρηνη σοι ανδριζου και ισχυε και εν τω λαλησαι αυτον μετ εμου ισχυσα και ειπα λαλειτω ο κυριος μου οτι ενισχυσας με
[20] και ειπεν ει οιδας ινα τι ηλθον προς σε και νυν επιστρεψω του πολεμησαι μετα αρχοντος περσων και εγω εξεπορευομην και ο αρχων των ελληνων ηρχετο
[21] αλλ η αναγγελω σοι το εντεταγμενον εν γραφη αληθειας και ουκ εστιν εις αντεχομενος μετ εμου περι τουτων αλλ η μιχαηλ ο αρχων υμων
