Ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ πρώτῳ Κύρου τοῦ βασιλέως Περσῶν πρόσταγμα ἐδείχθη τῷ Δανιὴλ, ὃς ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα Βαλτασάρ· καὶ ἀληθὲς τὸ ὅραμα καὶ τὸ πρόσταγμα, καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ ἰσχυρὸν διανοηθήσεται τὸ πρόσταγμα· καὶ διενοήθην αὐτὸ ἐν ὁράματι.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐγὼ Δανιὴλ ἥμην πενθῶν τρεῖς ἑβδομάδας·

ἄρτον ἐπιθυμιῶν οὐκ ἔφαγον, καὶ κρέας καὶ οἶνος οὐκ εἰσἠλθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου, ἔλαιον οὐκ ἠλειψάμην, ἕως τοῦ συντελέσαι με τὰς τρεῖς ἑβδομάδας τῶν ἡμερῶν.

καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ¹²³ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου, καὶ ἐγὼ ἥμην ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου, ὅς ἐστι Τίγρης.

καὶ ἦρα τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος εἶς ἐνδεδυμένος βύσσινα καὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν περιεζωσμένος βυσσίνῳ, καὶ ἐκ μέσου αὐτοῦ φῶς·

καὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ θαλάσσης, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ὅρασις ἀστραπῆς, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ λαμπάδες πυρός, καὶ οἱ βραχίονες αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ πόδες ὡσεὶ χαλκὸς ἐξαστράπτων, καὶ φωνὴ λαλιᾶς αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ φωνὴ θορύβου.

καὶ εἶδον ἐγὼ Δανιὴλ τὴν ὅρασιν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην, καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ὄντες μετʼ ἐμοῦ οὐκ εἴδοσαν τὴν ὅρασιν ταύτην, καὶ φόβος ἰσχυρὸς ἐπέπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ ἀπέδρασαν ἐν σπουδῇ.

καὶ ἐγὼ κατελείφθην μόνος καὶ εἶδον τὴν ὅρασιν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην, οὐκ ἐνκατελείφθη ἐν ἐμοὶ ἰσχύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ πνεῦμα ἐπεστράφη ἐπʼ ἐμὲ εἰς φθοράν, καὶ οὐ κατίσχυσα.

καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσα τὴν φωνὴν λαλιᾶς αὐτοῦ· ἐγὼ ἤμην πεπτωκὼς ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.

καὶ ἰδοὺ χεῖρα προσήγαγέ μοι, καὶ ἤγειρέ με ἐπὶ τῶν γονάτων ἐπὶ τὰ ἴχνη τῶν ποδῶν μου.

καὶ εἶπέ μοι Δανιὴλ, ἄνθρωπος ἐλεεινὸς εἶ διανοήθητι τοῖς προστάγμασιν οἷς ἐγὼ λαλῶ ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ στῆθι ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου σου, ἄρτι γὰρ ἀπεστάλην ἐπὶ σέ. καὶ ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦτο ἔστην τρέμων.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μέ Μὴ φοβοῦ, Δανιὴλ ὅτι ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς πρώτης ἦς ἔδωκας τὸ πρόσωπόν σου διανοηθῆναι καὶ ταπεινωθῆναι ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου, εἰσηκούσθη τὸ ῥῆμά σου, καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσῆλθον τῷ ῥήματί σου.

καὶ ὁ στρατηγὸς βασιλέως Περσῶν ἀνθειστήκει ἐναντίον μου εἵκοσι καὶ μίαν ἡμέραν· καὶ ἰδοὺ Μιχαὴλ εἶς τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πρώτων ἐπῆλθε βοηθῆσαί μοι, καὶ αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ κατέλιπον μετὰ τοῦ στρατηγοῦ τοῦ βασιλέως Περσῶν.

καὶ εἶπέν μοι Ἠλθον ὑποδεῖξαί σοι τί ὑπαντήσεται τῷ λαῷ σου ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν, ἔτι γαρ ὥρα εἰς ἡμέρας.

καὶ ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν λαλῆσαι ⁴⁵⁶ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ τὰ προστάγματα ταῦτα ἔδωκα τὸ πρόσωπον μου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐσιώπησα.

καὶ ἰδοὺ ὡς ὁμοίωσις χειρὸς ἀνθρώπου ἥψατο μου τῶν χειλέων· καὶ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου καὶ ἐλάλησα, καὶ εἶπα τῷ ἑστηκότι ἀπέναντί μου Κύριε· καὶ ὡς ὅρασις ἀπεστράφη ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν μου ἐπʼ ἐμέ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ ἰσχύς·

καὶ πῶς δυνήσεται ὁ παῖς λαλῆσαι μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἐγὼ ἠσθένησα, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἰσχὺς καὶ πνεῦμα οὐ κατελείφθη ἐν ἐμοί.

καὶ προσέθηκε καὶ ἥψατό μου ὡς ὅρασις ἀνθρώπου, καὶ κἄτι σχυσέ με,

καὶ εἶπέν μοι Ἄνθρωπος ἐλεεινὸς εἶ, μὴ φοβοῦ, ὑγίαινε· ἀνδρίζου καὶ ἴσχυσαι. καὶ ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἴσχυσα καὶ εἶπα Λαλησάτω ὁ κύριός μου, ὅτι ἐνίσχυσέν με.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μέ Γινώσκεις τί ἦλθον πρὸς σέ; καὶ νῦν ἐπιστρέψω διαμάχεσθαι μετὰ τοῦ στρατηγοῦ βασιλέως τῶν Περσῶν· καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξεπορευόμην, καὶ ἰδοὺ στρατηγὸς Ἑλλήνων εἰσεπορεύετο.

καὶ μάλα ὑποδείξω σοι τὰ πρῶτα ἐν ἀπογραφῇ ἀληθείας· καὶ οὐθεὶς ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν μετʼ ἐμοῦ ὑπέρ τούτων ἀλλ᾿ ἡ Μιχαὴλ ὁ ἄγγελος.

Δανιήλ (translatio Graeca) (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Daniel Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 10 focus

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.

I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.

In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,

I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz:

his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

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.

So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.

He said to me, Daniel, you man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for to you am I now sent. When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.

Then said he to me, Don't be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard: and I am come for your words' sake.

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: and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Now I am come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for [many] days:

and when he had spoken to me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was mute.

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 are turned on me, and I retain no strength.

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, neither was there breath left in me.

Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.

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."

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 forth, behold, the prince of Greece shall come.

But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince."
