1 En el tercer año del reinado de Ciro, el rey de Persia, Daniel, también llamado Beltsasar, tuvo otra visión. Tenía que ver con lo que de verdad pasaría en el futuro, acerca de la guerra, y esta vez él entendió lo que la visión significaba.
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
2 «En aquellos días, yo, Daniel estuve angustiado por tres semanas.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
3 En ese tiempo no probé vino ni carne, y no comí alimentos especiales, ni me puse ningún perfume.
3 I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 Luego un día, a principios de abril, mientras estaba parado al lado del gran río Tigris,
4 In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
5 levanté mi vista y vi un hombre vestido de ropa fina, con un cinto del más puro oro alrededor de su cintura.
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
6 Su cuerpo brillaba como topacio; su cara resplandecía como el relámpago y sus ojos eran como antorchas de fuego; sus brazos y pies brillaban como el bronce pulido, y su voz era como el rugido de una vasta multitud de gente.
6 His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
7 »Sólo yo, Daniel, vi la visión; los hombres que estaban conmigo no vieron nada. Pero de repente se llenaron de terror y corrieron para esconderse,
7 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.
8 y me dejaron solo. Cuando yo vi esta visión espantosa perdí mis fuerzas, me puse pálido y débil del susto.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
9 Cuando le oí hablar, caí boca abajo, desmayado.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 Pero una mano me tocó y me levantó, aún temblando, hasta que estuve sobre mis manos y rodillas.
10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
11 Él dijo: “¡Oh Daniel, amado de Dios, levántate y escucha cuidadosamente lo que yo tengo que decirte, pues Dios me ha enviado a ti!”. »Así que me puse de pie, aún temblando de temor.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Luego me dijo: “No tengas miedo, Daniel, pues desde el primer día en que trataste de comprender las cosas difíciles y te mostraste humilde ante tu Dios, él te escuchó. Por eso estoy aquí, como respuesta a tus oraciones.
12 Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
13 Durante veintiún días el príncipe de Persia estorbó mi camino, pero vino en mi ayuda el ángel Miguel, uno de los príncipes de más alto rango. Y me quedé allí, con los reyes de Persia.
13 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 because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14 Pero ahora estoy aquí para contarte lo que acontecerá a tu pueblo en el futuro, pues la visión tiene que ver con ese tiempo”.
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
15 »Todo este tiempo, mientras él hablaba, yo miraba hacia abajo, no pudiendo siquiera pronunciar una sola palabra.
15 When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
16 Luego, el que parecía un hombre, tocó mis labios y pude hablar de nuevo y le dije al que estaba frente a mí: “Señor, estoy atemorizado por la visión que he tenido y no tengo fuerzas.
16 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 have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
17 ¿Cómo puede ser posible que yo, que soy tu servidor más humilde, tenga el privilegio de hablarte? Las fuerzas se me han ido y casi no puedo respirar”.
17 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. There was no breath left in me.”
18 »Luego el que parecía un hombre me tocó de nuevo y sentí que volvía a tener fuerza.
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
19 “Dios te ama muchísimo”, me dijo. “No temas. ¡Cálmate y sé fuerte, sí, ten ánimo!”. »De repente, mientras decía estas palabras, yo me sentí más fuerte y le dije: “Ahora puede seguir adelante y hablar, señor, pues me ha fortalecido”.
19 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.”
20 Él me respondió: “¿Sabes por qué he venido? Porque debo volver a pelear contra el príncipe de Persia. Y cuando termine de luchar con él, vendrá el príncipe de Grecia.
20 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 out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
21 Ahora te diré lo que está escrito en el Libro de la Verdad. En mi lucha contra ellos sólo me ayuda el ángel Miguel, el protector de ustedes.
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Gabriel appeared, and Daniel fell down: and of what nature or in what guise was he that appeared? His countenance was like lightning; not like the sun: and his eyes as lamps of fire, not as a furnace of fire: and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude, not as the voice of twelve legions …
