Daniel 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
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 εν τω ενιαυτω τω πρωτω κυρου του βασιλεως περσων προσταγμα εδειχθη τω δανιηλ ος επεκληθη το ονομα βαλτασαρ και αληθες το οραμα και το προσταγμα και το πληθος το ισχυρον διανοηθησεται το προσταγμα και διενοηθην αυτο εν οραματι
2 In those days, I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks of days.	2 εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις εγω δανιηλ ημην πενθων τρεις εβδομαδας
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 αρτον επιθυμιων ουκ εφαγον και κρεας και οινος ουκ εισηλθεν εις το στομα μου ελαιον ουκ ηλειψαμην εως του συντελεσαι με τας τρεις εβδομαδας των ημερων
4 But on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was next to the great river, which is the Tigris.	4 και εγενετο τη ημερα τη τεταρτη και εικαδι του μηνος του πρωτου και εγω ημην επι του χειλους του ποταμου του μεγαλου ος εστι τιγρης
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 και ηρα τους οφθαλμους μου και ειδον και ιδου ανθρωπος εις ενδεδυμενος βυσσινα και την οσφυν περιεζωσμενος βυσσινω και εκ μεσου αυτου φως
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 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 οι ποδες ωσει χαλκος εξαστραπτων και φωνη λαλιας αυτου ωσει φωνη θορυβου
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 και ειδον εγω δανιηλ την ορασιν την μεγαλην ταυτην και οι ανθρωποι οι οντες μετ' εμου ουκ ειδοσαν την ορασιν ταυτην και φοβος ισχυρος επεπεσεν επ' αυτους και απεδρασαν εν σπουδη
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 και εγω κατελειφθην μονος και ειδον την ορασιν την μεγαλην ταυτην και ουκ εγκατελειφθη εν εμοι ισχυς και ιδου πνευμα επεστραφη επ' εμε εις φθοραν και ου κατισχυσα
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 και ουκ ηκουσα την φωνην λαλιας αυτου εγω ημην πεπτωκως επι προσωπον μου επι την γην
10 And behold, a hand touched me, and raised me onto my knees and the knuckles of my hands.	10 και ιδου χειρα προσηγαγε μοι και ηγειρε με επι των γονατων επι τα ιχνη των ποδων μου
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 και ειπεν μοι δανιηλ ανθρωπος ελεεινος ει διανοηθητι τοις προσταγμασιν οις εγω λαλω επι σε και στηθι επι του τοπου σου αρτι γαρ απεσταλην επι σε και εν τω λαλησαι αυτον μετ' εμου το προσταγμα τουτο εστην τρεμων
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 και ειπεν προς με μη φοβου δανιηλ οτι απο της ημερας της πρωτης ης εδωκας το προσωπον σου διανοηθηναι και ταπεινωθηναι εναντιον κυριου του θεου σου εισηκουσθη το ρημα σου και εγω εισηλθον εν τω ρηματι σου
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 και ο στρατηγος βασιλεως περσων ανθειστηκει εναντιον μου εικοσι και μιαν ημεραν και ιδου μιχαηλ εις των αρχοντων των πρωτων επηλθε βοηθησαι μοι και αυτον εκει κατελιπον μετα του στρατηγου του βασιλεως περσων
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 και ειπεν μοι ηλθον υποδειξαι σοι τι υπαντησεται τω λαω σου επ' εσχατου των ημερων ετι γαρ ορασις εις ημερας
15 And while he was speaking words to me in this way, I cast my face down to the ground and was silent.	15 και εν τω αυτον λαλησαι μετ' εμου τα προσταγματα ταυτα εδωκα το προσωπον μου επι την γην και εσιωπησα
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 και ιδου ως ομοιωσις χειρος ανθρωπου ηψατο μου των χειλεων και ηνοιξα το στομα μου και ελαλησα και ειπα τω εστηκοτι απεναντι μου κυριε και ως ορασις απεστραφη επι το πλευρον μου επ' εμε και ουκ ην εν εμοι ισχυς
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 και πως δυνησεται ο παις λαλησαι μετα του κυριου αυτου και εγω ησθενησα και ουκ εστιν εν εμοι ισχυς και πνευμα ου κατελειφθη εν εμοι
18 Therefore, he who looked like a man, touched me again and strengthened me.	18 και προσεθηκε και ηψατο μου ως ορασις ανθρωπου και κατισχυσε με
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 και ειπε μοι ανθρωπος ελεεινος ει μη φοβου υγιαινε ανδριζου και ισχυε και εν τω λαλησαι αυτον μετ' εμου ισχυσα και ειπα λαλησατω ο κυριος μου οτι ενισχυσε με
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 και ειπεν προς με γινωσκεις τι ηλθον προς σε και νυν επιστρεψω διαμαχεσθαι μετα του στρατηγου βασιλεως των περσων και εγω εξεπορευομην και ιδου στρατηγος ελληνων εισεπορευετο
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 και μαλα υποδειξω σοι τα πρωτα εν απογραφη αληθειας και ουθεις ην ο βοηθων μετ' εμου υπερ τουτων αλλ' η μιχαηλ ο αγγελος
