Kniha proroka Daniela

1 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) V 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.

2 (CPDV) In those days, I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks of days.
2 (ROH) V tých dňoch som ja Daniel smútil za celé tri týždne.

3 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) Žiadostného chleba chutného som nejedol, a mäso a víno nevošlo do mojich úst, ani masťou pomazať som sa nepomazal, dokiaľ sa nevyplnily dni troch týždňov.

4 (CPDV) But on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was next to the great river, which is the Tigris.
4 (ROH) A dvadsiateho štvrtého dňa, prvého mesiaca som bol na brehu veľkej rieky, Hiddekela.

5 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A pozdvihol som 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.

6 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) Jeho 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.

7 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A ja Daniel som samotný videl videnie; mužovia, ktorí boli so mnou, nevideli videnia, ale padla na nich veľká hrôza, a utekali, aby sa skryli.

8 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) Ja 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.

9 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A 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.

10 (CPDV) And behold, a hand touched me, and raised me onto my knees and the knuckles of my hands.
10 (ROH) A hľa, dotkla sa ma nejaká ruka a pozdvihla ma na moje kolená a na dlane mojich rúk.

11 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A 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.

12 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A 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.

13 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) Ale 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.

14 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A prišiel som, aby som ti dal rozumieť tomu, čo zajde tvoj ľud v potomných dňoch, lebo ešte bude videnie tým dňom.

15 (CPDV) And while he was speaking words to me in this way, I cast my face down to the ground and was silent.
15 (ROH) A v tom, čo hovoril so mnou asi tieto slová, sklonil som svoju tvár k zemi a zanemel som.

16 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A 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.

17 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A jako tedy bude môcť takýto služobník môjho Pána hovoriť s takýmto mojím Pánom, keď odteraz neobstojí vo mne sila, ani nezostane vo mne dychu?

18 (CPDV) Therefore, he who looked like a man, touched me again and strengthened me.
18 (ROH) A znova sa ma dotkol ten ktosi na pohľad ako človek a posilnil ma.

19 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A 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!

20 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) A 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.

21 (CPDV) 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 (ROH) Ale 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.
