In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Baltasar; and the thing was true, and great power and understanding in the vision was given to him.

¹

В лњто пе'рвое кљ=рово цр~я прьска, сло'во ја%ви'ся данїи'лђ, е^мђже проꙁва'ся и^мя валᲄаса'ръ. и^стин#но же сло'во, и^ си'ла вели'ка, и^ ра'ꙁђмъ да'сться е^мђ въ ја^вле'нїе”

²

In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

²

В т^ы дн~и а^зъ данїи'лъ бXњ желњя тр^и сеDми'ны дн~ьныхъ,

³

I ate no pleasant bread, and no flesh or wine entered into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself with oil, until three whole weeks were accomplished.

³

хлњ'ба помы'слена не ја^доX, и^ мя'со и^ вино не вни'де въ ё^ста` моа, и^ ма'стїю не пома'зах#ся, до три сеDми'нъ дн~ьныX.

⁴

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.

⁴

въ дн~ь е~і, а~ мsца, а^зъ бњ'хъ бли'ꙁъ рњки` вели'кїя с^и е^сть е^деке'ль.

⁵

And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girt with gold of Ophaz:

⁵

и^ въꙁDвиго'хъ ѓ^чи свои и^ ви'дњхъ. и^ с^е мђж'ъ ѓ^блъче'нъ въ багряни'цђ, и^ чресла е^го препоја%сани ꙁла'томъ свњтломъ,

⁶

and his body was as Tharsis, and his face was as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.

⁶

тњ'ло же е^го а^ки џарси'съ, лице же е^го а^ки ѓ^зречь мо'лнїя, ѓ%чи же е^го а^ки свњща ѓ%гнены. и^ мы'шцы е^го и^ го'лени а^ки ѓ^ꙁреq мњ'ди блиска'ющася. глаs же словеs е^го а^ки глаs наро'да.

⁷

And I Daniel only saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear.

⁷

и^ ви'дњхъ а^ꙁъ е^ді'нъ данїи'лъ. а^ мђ'жи и^же со мно'ю не ви'дњша ја%вле'нїя, н^о ё%жасть вели'ка паде на ни'хъ, и^ эTбњгнђша въ стра'сњ.

⁸

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

⁸

а^з# же ѓ^ста'хъ е^ді'нᲆ, и^ ви'дњхъ ја^вле'нїе вели'кое с^е. и^ не ѓ^ста` въ мнњ крњ'пость, и^ сла'ва моя ѓ^брати'ся въ расыпанїе, и^ не ё^держа'хъ крњ'пости.

⁹

Yet I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard him I was pricked in the heart, and I fell with my face to the earth.

⁹

и^ слы'шахъ глаs словесе е^го, и^ внегда` слы'шахъ бњхъ преклоненъ, лице же мое на земли`.

¹⁰

And, behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees.

¹⁰

и^ с^е рђка прикаса'ющеся мнњ, и^ въста'ви м^я на колњ'нњ мои, и^ на стопы рђ'кђ мое^ю”

¹¹

And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am now sent to thee. And when he had spoken to me this word, I stood trembling.

¹¹

И$ рече къ мнњ, данїи'ле мђ'жђ помышле'нїи, раꙁђмњ'и вᲆ словесњхъ сиX ја%же а^ꙁъ гл~ю к тебњ, и^ ста'ни на стоа'нїи свое^мᲆ, ја%ко нн~њ посла'нъ е^смь к тебњ. и^ е^гда` съгл~а сло'во с^е къ мнњ`, въстаX съ трђсоM.

¹²

And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to afflict thyself before the Lord thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come because of thy words.

¹²

и^ рече къ мнњ, не бо'ися данїи'ле, ја%ко эT перваго дн~е вон#же пода'сть срDце свое ја%ко раꙁђмњти, и^ трђди'тися предо мно'ю бм~ъ твои^мъ, ё^слышашася словеса твоя`, а^ꙁ# же прїидо'хъ въ словесе'хъ твои^хъ”

¹³

But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:

¹³

Кн~ѕь же црsтва прьска стоя'ше проти'вђ мнњ двадесяти и^ е^ді'нᲆ дн~ь. и^ с^е михаи^лъ е^ді'нъ эT старњ'ишинъ прьвыхъ прїиде помощи` мнњ, и^ того ѓ^ста'вихᲆ съ кн~ѕи црsтва прьска.

¹⁴

and I have come to inform thee of all that shall befall thy people in the last days: for the vision is yet for many days.

¹⁴

и^ прїидоX скаꙁа'ти тебњ е^же сря'щеTся лю'демъ твои^мъ в# послDњняя дн~и, ја^ко с^е видњ'нїе въ дн~и.

¹⁵

And when he had spoken with me according to these words, I turned my face to the ground, and was pricked in the heart.

¹⁵

и^ внегда же гл~а съ мно'ю по словесе'мъ симъ, даX лице свое на' ꙁемлю и^ преклони'хся.

¹⁶

And, behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, at the sight of thee my bowels were turned within me, and I had no strength.

¹⁶

и^ с^е а^ки ѓ^ꙁреq чл~ча прикосне'ся ё^стXњ мои^хъ. и^ эTверꙁо'хъ ё^ста` своя и^ гл~ахъ, и^ рњхъ къ стоящемђ предо мною. г~и въ видњ'нїи твое^мъ ѓ^брати'ся ё^тро'ба моя въ мнњ, и^ не и^мыи си'лы.

¹⁷

And how shall thy servant be able, O my lord, to speak with this my lord? and as for me, from henceforth strength will not remain in me, and there is no breath left in me.

¹⁷

ка'ко воꙁмо'же ра'бъ твои гл~ати г~и съ гм~ъ симъ мои^мᲆ. аZ бо эTнемого'х#ся и^ эT нн~њ не ста'нетъ въ мнњ крњпость, си'ла б^о и^ дыха'нїе не ѓ^ста въ мнњ”

¹⁸

And there touched me again as it were the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,

¹⁸

И$ приложи и^ прикосне'ся мнњ ја%ко ѓ^ꙁречь чл~ча, и^ ё^крњпи м^я,

¹⁹

and said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to thee, quit thyself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.

¹⁹

и^ реq м^и, не бо'ися мђж'ђ помышле'нїи, ми'ръ тебњ. мђжа'ися и^ крњпи'ся. и^ е^гда` гл~а съ мно'ю ё^крњпи'х#ся, и^ рњ'хъ, да гл~етъ г~ь мои, ја%ко ё^крњпилъ мя е^си.

²⁰

And he said, Knowest thou, wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return to fight with the prince of the Persians: and I was going in, and the prince of the Greeks came.

²⁰

и^ реq, а^ще вњ'си почто е^смь пришеl к тебњ. и^ нн~њ въз#вращђся ја%ко бра'титися съ кн~ѕемъ прьскоM. а^з# же и^схожDахъ, кн~ѕь же е^л#лин#скь грядя'ше.

²¹

But I will tell thee that which is ordained in the scripture of truth: and there is no one that holds with me in these matters but Michael your prince.

²¹

н^о да т^и совњтђ'ю въчине'ное въписа'нїе и^стин#ны. и^ нњ'сть ни е^ді'ного поDдрᲆжа'ща съ мно'ю ѓ^ семъ, н^о то'чїю миха'илᲆ кня'ѕь вашъ”
