Daniel 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
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 Anno tertio Cyri regis Per sarum verbum revelatum est Danieli cognomentoBaltassar, et verum verbum et acies magna; intellexitque sermonem, intellegentiaenim fuit ei in visione.
2 In those days, I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks of days.	2 In diebus illis ego Daniel lugebam tribus hebdomadisdierum,
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 panem desiderabilem non comedi, et caro et vinum non introierunt in osmeum, sed neque unguento unctus sum, donec complerentur tres hebdomades dierum.
4 But on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was next to the great river, which is the Tigris.	4 Die autem vicesima et quarta mensis primi eram iuxta fluvium magnum, qui estTigris,
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 et levavi oculos meos et vidi: et ecce vir unus vestitus lineis, etrenes eius accincti auro obryzo;
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 et corpus eius quasi chrysolithus, et facieseius velut species fulgoris, et oculi eius ut lampas ardens, et brachia eius et,quae deorsum sunt usque ad pedes, quasi species aeris candentis, et vox sermonumeius ut vox multitudinis.
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 Vidi autem ego Daniel solus visionem; porro viri,qui erant mecum, visionem non viderunt, sed terror nimius irruit super eos, etfugerunt in absconditum.
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 Ego autem relictus solus vidi visionem grandem hanc,et non remansit in me fortitudo, sed et species mea immutata est in me usque addissipationem, nec habui quidquam virium.
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 Et audivi vocem sermonum eius; etaudiens vocem sermonum eius iacebam consternatus super faciem meam, et vultusmeus haerebat terrae.
10 And behold, a hand touched me, and raised me onto my knees and the knuckles of my hands.	10 Et ecce manus tetigit me et erexit me super genua mea et super palmas manuummearum,
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 et dixit ad me: “ Daniel, vir desideriorum, intellege verba, quaeego loquor ad te, et sta in gradu tuo; nunc enim sum missus ad te ”. Cumquedixisset mihi sermonem istum, steti tremens.
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 Et ait ad me: “ Noli metuere,Daniel, quia ex die primo, quo posuisti cor tuum ad intellegendum et adhumiliandum te in conspectu Dei tui, exaudita sunt verba tua; et ego venipropter sermones tuos.
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 Princeps autem regni Persarum restitit mihi viginti etuno diebus; et ecce Michael, unus de principibus primis, venit in adiutoriummeum; et ego remansi ibi iuxta regem Persarum.
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 Veni autem, ut docerem te,quae ventura sunt populo tuo in novissimis diebus, quoniam adhuc visio in dies”.
15 And while he was speaking words to me in this way, I cast my face down to the ground and was silent.	15 Cumque loqueretur mihi huiuscemodi verbis, deieci vultum meum ad terramet tacui.
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 Et ecce quasi similitudo filiorum hominis tetigit labia mea; etaperiens os meum locutus sum et dixi ad eum, qui stabat contra me: “ Dominemi, in visione angustiae venerunt super me, et nihil in me remansit virium.
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 Et quomodo poterit servus domini mei loqui cum hoc domino meo? Nihil enim in meremansit virium, et halitus meus non remansit in me ”.
18 Therefore, he who looked like a man, touched me again and strengthened me.	18 Rursum ergo tetigitme quasi visio hominis et confortavit me
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 et dixit: “Noli timere, virdesideriorum; pax tibi, confortare et esto robustus ”. Cumque loquereturmecum, convalui et dixi: “ Loquere, domine mi, quia confortasti me ”.
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 Et ait: “ Numquid scis, quare venerim ad te? Et nunc revertar, ut proelieradversum principem Persarum. Et ego egrediar, et ecce princeps Graecorumveniens.
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 Verumtamen annuntiabo tibi, quod expressum est in scripturaveritatis; et nemo est adiutor meus adversus hos, nisi Michael princeps vester.
