1In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
1V treťom roku Cýra, perzského kráľa, bolo zjavené slovo Danielovi, ktorý bol pomenovaný menom Baltazár, a to slovo bolo pravdou a znamenalo veľkú borbu, a porozumel slovu, a mal porozumenie vo videní.
2In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
2V tých dňoch som ja Daniel smútil za celé tri týždne.
3I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
3Žiadostného chleba chutného som nejedol, a mäso a víno nevošlo do mojich úst, ani masťou pomazať som sa nepomazal, dokiaľ sa nevyplnily dni troch týždňov.
4And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
4A dvadsiateho štvrtého dňa, prvého mesiaca som bol na brehu veľkej rieky, Hiddekela.
5Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
5A pozdvihol so svoje oči a videl som a hľa, nejaký muž sa ukázal, oblečený v ľanovom rúchu, a na svojich bedrách bol prepásaný čistým zlatom z Úfaza.
6His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
6Jeho driek bol ako drahokam taršíš, a jeho tvár bola na pohľad ako blesk, jeho oči jako horiace fakle, jeho ramená a jeho nohy boly podobné lesklej medi, a zvuk jeho slov zvučal ako zvuk množstva ľudu.
7And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
7A ja Daniel som samotný videl videnie; mužovia, ktorí boli so mnou, nevideli videnia, ale padla na nich veľká hrôza, a utekali, aby sa skryli.
8Therefore 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.
8Ja som zostal samotný a videl som to veľké videnie, ale nezostalo ani vo mne sily, a moja krása zmenila sa pri mne a porušila, a nezadržal som v sebe sily.
9Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
9A počul som hlas jeho slov. A jako som počul hlas jeho slov, hneď som tvrde usnul na svojej tvári, a ležal som tvárou k zemi.
10And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
10A hľa, dotkla sa ma nejaká ruka a pozdvihla ma na moje kolená a na dlane mojich rúk.
11And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
11A povedal mi: Danielu, ľúby mužu, pozoruj na slová, ktoré ti budem hovoriť, a stoj na svojom mieste, lebo som teraz poslaný k tebe. - A v tom, čo hovoril so mnou to slovo, stál som a triasol som sa.
12Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
12A riekol mi: Neboj sa, Danielu, lebo od prvého dňa, ako si priložil svoje srdce, aby si rozumel a ponižoval sa pred svojím Bohom, uslyšané sú tvoje slová, a ja som prišiel príčinou tvojich slov.
13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
13Ale knieža perzského kráľovstva stálo oproti mne dvadsaťjeden dní. A hľa, Michael, jedno z prvých kniežat, mi prišiel na pomoc, a ja som pozostal tam, pri perzských kráľoch.
14Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
14A prišiel som, aby som ti dal rozumieť tomu, čo zajde tvoj ľud v potomných dňoch, lebo ešte bude videnie tým dňom.
15And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
15A v tom, čo hovoril so mnou asi tieto slová, sklonil som svoju tvár k zemi a zanemel som.
16And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
16A hľa, niekto podobný synom človeka dotkol sa mojich rtov, a tak som otvoril svoje ústa, vravel a riekol som tomu, ktorý to stál naproti mne: Pane, od toho videnia obrátily sa moje bolesti na mňa, ani som nezadržal v sebe sily.
17For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
17A jako tedy bude môcť takýto služobník môjho Pána hovoriť s takýmto mojím Pánom, keď odteraz neobstojí vo mne sila, ani nezostane vo mne dychu?
18Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
18A znova sa ma dotkol ten ktosi na pohľad ako človek a posilnil ma.
19And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
19A riekol: Neboj sa, ľúby mužu, pokoj ti! Buď silný a len buď silný! A v tom, čo hovoril so mnou, bol som posilnený a povedal som: Nech hovorí môj Pán, lebo si ma posilnil!
20Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
20A riekol: Či vieš, prečo som prišiel k tebe? Ale teraz už sa zase navrátim, aby som bojoval s perzským kniežaťom. A keď ja budem odchádzať, hľa, prijde grécke knieža.
21But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
21Ale oznámim ti to, čo je zaznačené v písme, ktoré je pravdou. A niet ani jedného, ktorý by sa vzmužil so mnou proti týmto krome Michaela, vášho kniežaťa.
