Daniel 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 In the third year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, a message was revealed to Daniel, called Belteshazzar, and a true word, and great strength. And he understood the message, for understanding is needed in a vision.	1 في السنة الثالثة لكورش ملك فارس كشف امر لدانيال الذي سمي باسم بلطشاصر. والامر حق والجهاد عظيم وفهم الأمر وله معرفة الرؤيا.
2 In those days, I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks of days.	2 في تلك الايام انا دانيال كنت نائحا ثلاثة اسابيع ايام.
3 I ate no desirable bread, and neither meat, nor wine, entered my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment, until the three weeks of days were completed.	3 لم آكل طعاما شهيّا ولم يدخل في فمي لحم ولا خمر ولم ادهن حتى تمت ثلاثة اسابيع ايام.
4 But on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was next to the great river, which is the Tigris.	4 وفي اليوم الرابع والعشرين من الشهر الاول اذ كنت على جانب النهر العظيم هو دجلة
5 And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw, and behold, one man clothed in linen, and his waist was wrapped with the finest gold,	5 رفعت عينيّ ونظرت فاذا برجل لابس كتانا وحقواه متنطقان بذهب اوفاز
6 and his body was like the golden stone, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes that of a burning lamp, and his arms and all that is downward all the way to the feet had the appearance of glowing brass, and his speaking voice was like the voice of a multitude.	6 وجسمه كالزبرجد ووجهه كمنظر البرق وعيناه كمصباحي نار وذراعاه ورجلاه كعين النحاس المصقول وصوت كلامه كصوت جمهور.
7 But I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it, but an exceedingly great terror rushed over them, and they fled into hiding.	7 فرأيت انا دانيال الرؤيا وحدي والرجال الذين كانوا معي لم يروا الرؤيا لكن وقع عليهم ارتعاد عظيم فهربوا ليختبئوا.
8 And I, having been left alone, saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me, moreover, my appearance was altered, and I languished, not having any strength.	8 فبقيت انا وحدي ورأيت هذه الرؤيا العظيمة ولم تبق فيّ قوة ونضارتي تحولت فيّ الى فساد ولم اضبط قوة.
9 And I heard the voice of his words, and when I heard, I lay down in confusion on my face, and my face was close to the ground.	9 وسمعت صوت كلامه ولما سمعت صوت كلامه كنت مسبّخا على وجهي ووجهي الى الارض.
10 And behold, a hand touched me, and raised me onto my knees and the knuckles of my hands.	10 واذ بيد لمستني واقامتني مرتجفا على ركبتيّ وعلى كفيّ يديّ.
11 And he said to me, “Daniel, man of longing, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand yourself upright, for I am now sent to you.” And when he had said these words to me, I stood trembling.	11 وقال لي يا دانيال ايها الرجل المحبوب افهم الكلام الذي اكلمك به وقم على مقامك لاني الآن أرسلت اليك. ولما تكلم معي بهذا الكلام قمت مرتعدا.
12 And he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, because from the first day that you set your heart to understand, by afflicting yourself in the sight of your God, your words have been heeded, and I have arrived because of your words.	12 فقال لي لا تخف يا دانيال لانه من اليوم الاول الذي فيه جعلت قلبك للفهم ولاذلال نفسك قدام الهك سمع كلامك وانا اتيت لاجل كلامك.
13 But the leader of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me for twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, one of the primary leaders, came to help me, and I remained there next to the king of the Persians.	13 ورئيس مملكة فارس وقف مقابلي واحدا وعشرين يوما وهوذا ميخائيل واحد من الرؤساء الاولين جاء لاعانتي وانا أبقيت هناك عند ملوك فارس.
14 But I have come to teach you what will happen to your people in the latter days, because the vision is for a long time from now.”	14 وجئت لافهمك ما يصيب شعبك في الايام الاخيرة لان الرؤيا الى ايام بعد
15 And while he was speaking words to me in this way, I cast my face down to the ground and was silent.	15 فلما تكلم معي بمثل هذا الكلام جعلت وجهي الى الارض وصمت.
16 And behold, something in the likeness of a son of man touched my lips. Then, opening my mouth, I spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, at the sight of you, my limbs became weak and no strength has remained in me.	16 وهوذا كشبه بني آدم لمس شفتيّ ففتحت فمي وتكلمت وقلت للواقف امامي يا سيدي بالرؤيا انقلبت عليّ اوجاعي فما ضبطت قوّة.
17 And so, how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? For no strength remains in me; and even my breathing is hindered.”	17 فكيف يستطيع عبد سيدي هذا ان يتكلم مع سيدي هذا وانا فحالا لم تثبت فيّ قوّة ولم تبق فيّ نسمة.
18 Therefore, he who looked like a man, touched me again and strengthened me.	18 فعاد ولمسني كمنظر انسان وقوّاني.
19 And he said, “Fear not, O man of longing. May peace be with you. Take courage and be strong.” And when he spoke to me, I recovered, and I said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”	19 وقال لا تخف ايها الرجل المحبوب سلام لك. تشدد. تقوّ. ولما كلمني تقويت وقلت ليتكلم سيدي لانك قوّيتني.
20 And he said, “Do you not know why I have come to you? And next I will return, to fight against the leader of the Persians. When I was leaving, there appeared the leader of the Greeks arriving.	20 فقال هل عرفت لماذا جئت اليك. فالآن ارجع واحارب رئيس فارس. فاذا خرجت هوذا رئيس اليونان ياتي.
21 But, in truth, I announce to you what is expressed in the scripture of truth. And no one is my helper in all these things, except Michael your leader.”	21 ولكني اخبرك بالمرسوم في كتاب الحق. ولا احد يتمسك معي على هؤلاء الا ميخائيل رئيسكم
