vDRA1899
1 But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always.
3 But they that are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be manifold.
5 And I Daniel looked, and behold as it were two others stood: one on this side upon the bank of the river, and another on that side, on the other bank of the river.
6 And I said to the man that was clothed In linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn, by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall be after these things?
9 And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time.
10 Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand.
11 And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days,
12 Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
13 But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days.
13a 13:1 Now there was a man that dwelt in Babylon, and his name was Joakim:
13aa 13:27 But after the old men had spoken, the servants were greatly ashamed: for never had there been any such word said of Susanna. And on the next day,
13ab 13:28 When the people were come to Joakim her husband, the two elders also came full of wicked device against Susanna, to put her to death.
13ac 13:29 And they said before the people: Send to Susanna daughter of Helcias the wife of Joakim. And presently they sent.
13ad 13:30 And she came with her parents, and children, and all her kindred.
13ae 13:31 Now Susanna was exceeding delicate, and beautiful to behold.
13af 13:32 But those wicked men commanded that her face should be uncovered, (for she was covered,) that so at least they might be satisfied with her beauty.
13ag 13:33 Therefore her friends and all her acquaintance wept.
13ah 13:34 But the two elders rising up in the midst of the people, laid their hands upon her head.
13ai 13:35 And she weeping looked up to heaven, for her heart had confidence in the Lord.
13aj 13:36 And the elders said: As we walked in the orchard alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the doors of the orchard, and sent away the maids from her.
13ak 13:37 Then a young man that was there hid came to her, and lay with her.
13al 13:38 But we that were in a corner of the orchard, seeing this wickedness, ran up to them, and we saw them lie together.
13am 13:39 And him indeed we could not take, because he was stronger than us, and opening the doors be leaped out:
13an 13:40 But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: of this thing we are witnesses.
13ao 13:41 The multitude believed them as being the elders and the judges of the people, and they condemned her to death.
13ap 13:42 Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said: O eternal God, who knowest hidden things, who knowest all things before they come to pass,
13aq 13:43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me: and behold I must die, whereas I have done none of these things, which these men have maliciously forged against me.
13ar 13:44 And the Lord heard her voice.
13as 13:45 And when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young boy, whose name was Daniel.
13at 13:46 And he cried out with a loud voice I am clear from the blood of this woman.
13au 13:47 Then all the people turning themselves towards him, said: What meaneth this word that thou hast spoken?
13av 13:48 But he standing in the midst of them, said: Are ye so foolish, ye children of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth, you have condemned a daughter of Israel?
13aw 13:49 Return to judgment, for they have borne false witness against her.
13ax 13:50 So all the people turned again in haste, and the old men said to him: Come, and sit thou down among us, and shew it as: seeing God hath given thee the honour of old age.
13ay 13:51 And Daniel said to the people: Separate these two far from one another, and I will examine them.
13az 13:52 So when they were put asunder one from the other, he called one of them, and said to him: O thou that art grown old in evil days, now are thy sins come out, which thou hast committed before:
13b 13:2 And he took a wife whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Helcias, a very beautiful woman, and one that feared God.
13ba 13:53 In judging unjust judgments, oppressing the innocent, and letting the guilty to go free, whereas the Lord saith: I The innocent and the just thou shalt not kill.
13bb 13:54 Now then, if thou sawest her, tell me under what tree thou sawest them conversing together. He said: Under a mastic tree.
13bc 13:55 And Daniel said: Well hast thou lied against thy own head: for behold the angel of God having received the sentence of him, shall cut thee in two.
13bd 13:56 And having put him aside, he commanded that the other should come, and he said to him: O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thy heart:
13be 13:57 Thus did you do to the daughters of Israel, and they for fear conversed with you: but a daughter of Juda would not abide your wickedness.
13bf 13:58 Now therefore tell me, under what tree didst thou take them conversing together. And he answered: Under a holm tree.
13bg 13:59 And Daniel said to him: Well hast thou also lied against thy own head: for the angel of the Lord waiteth with a sword to cut thee in two, and to destroy you.
13bh 13:60 With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and they blessed God, who saveth them that trust in him.
13bi 13:61 And they rose up against the two elders, (for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth,) and they did to them as they had maliciously dealt against their neighbour,
13bj 13:62 To fulfill the law of Moses: and they put them to death, and innocent blood was saved in that day.
13bk 13:63 But Helcias and his wife praised God, for their daughter Susanna, with Joakim her husband, and all her kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.
13bl 13:64 And Daniel became great in the sight of the people from that day, and thenceforward.
13bm 13:65 And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyrus the Persian received his kingdom.
13bn 14:1 And Daniel was the king’s guest, and was honoured above all his friends.
13bo 14:2 Now the Babylonians had an idol called Bel: and there were spent upon him every day twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and sixty vessels of wine.
13bp 14:3 The king also worshipped him, and went every day to adore him: but Daniel adored his God. And the king said to him: Why dost thou not adore Bel?
13bq 14:4 And he answered, and said to him: Because I do not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, that created heaven and earth, and hath power over all flesh.
13br 14:5 And the king said to him: Doth not Bel seem to thee to be a living god? Seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day?
13bs 14:6 Then Daniel smiled and said: O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without, neither hath he eaten at any time.
13bt 14:7 And the king being angry called for his priests, and said to them: If you tell me not, who it is that eateth up these expenses, you shall die.
13bu 14:8 But if you can shew that Bel eateth these things, Daniel shall die, because he hath blasphemed against Bel. And Daniel said to the king: Be it done according to thy word.
13bv 14:9 Now the priests of Bel were seventy, besides their wives, and little ones, and children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel.
13bw 14:10 And the priests of Bel said: Behold we go out: and do thou, O king, set on the meats, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast, and seal it with thy own ring:
13bx 14:11 And when thou comest in the morning, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death, or else Daniel that hath lied against us.
13by 14:12 And they little regarded it, because they had made under the table a secret entrance, and they always came in by it, and consumed those things.
13bz 14:13 So it came to pass after they were gone out, the king set the meats before Bel: and Daniel commanded his servants, and they brought ashes, and he sifted them all over the temple before the king: and going forth they shut the door, and having sealed it with the king’s ring, they departed.
13c 13:3 For her parents being just, had instructed their daughter according to the law of Moses.
13ca 14:14 But the priests went in by night, according to their custom, with their wives and their children: and they ate and drank up all.
13cb 14:15 And the king arose early in the morning, and Daniel with him.
13cc 14:16 And the king said: Are the seals whole, Daniel? And he answered: They are whole, O king.
13cd 14:17 And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked upon the table, and cried out with a loud voice: Great art thou, O Bel, and there is not any deceit with thee.
13ce 14:18 And Daniel laughed: and he held the king that he should not go in: and he said: Behold the pavement, mark whose footsteps these are.
13cf 14:19 And the king said: I see the footsteps of men, and women, and children. And the king was angry.
13cg 14:20 Then he took the priests, and their wives, and their children: and they shewed him the private doors by which they came in, and consumed the things that were on the table.
13ch 14:21 The king therefore put them to death, and delivered Bel into the power of Daniel: who destroyed him, and his temple.
13ci 14:22 And there was a great dragon in that place, and the Babylonians worshipped him.
13cj 14:23 And the king said to Daniel: Behold thou canst not say now, that this is not a living god: adore him therefore.
13ck 14:24 And Daniel said: I adore the Lord my God: for he is the living God: but that is no living god.
13cl 14:25 But give me leave, O king, and I will kill this dragon without sword or club. And the king said: I give thee leave.
13cm 14:26 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and boiled them together: and he made lumps, and put them into the dragon’s mouth, and the dragon burst asunder. And he said: Behold him whom you worshipped.
13cn 14:27 And when the Babylonians had heard this, they took great indignation: and being gathered together against the king, they said: The king is become a Jew. He hath destroyed Bel, he hath killed the dragon, and he hath put the priests to death.
13co 14:28 And they came to the king, and said: Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thy house.
13cp 14:29 And the king saw that they pressed upon him violently: and being constrained by necessity he delivered Daniel to them.
13cq 14:30 And they cast him into the den of lions, and he was there six days.
13cr 14:31 And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given to them two carcasses every day, and two sheep: but then they were not given unto them, that they might devour Daniel.
13cs 14:32 Now there was in Judea a prophet called Habacuc, and he had boiled pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl: and was going into the field, to carry it to the reapers.
13ct 14:33 And the angel of the Lord said to Habacuc: Carry the dinner which thou hast into Babylon to Daniel, who is in the lions’ den.
13cu 14:34 And Habacuc said: Lord, I never saw Babylon, nor do I know the den.
13cv 14:35 And the angel of the Lord took him by the top of his head, and carried him by the hair of his head, and set him in Babylon over the den in the force of his spirit.
13cw 14:36 And Habacuc cried, saying: O Daniel, thou servant of God, take the dinner that God hath sent thee.
13cx 14:37 And Daniel said: Thou hast remembered me, O God, and thou hast not forsaken them that love thee.
13cy 14:38 And Daniel arose and ate. And the angel of the Lord presently set Habacuc again in his own place.
13cz 14:39 And upon the seventh day the king came to bewail Daniel: and he came to the den, and looked in, and behold Daniel was sitting in the midst of the lions.
13d 13:4 Now Joakim was very rich, and had an orchard near his house: and the Jews resorted to him, because he was the most honourable of them all.
13da 14:40 And the king cried out with a loud voice, saying: Great art thou, O Lord the God of Daniel. And he drew him out of the lions’ den.
13db 14:41 But those that bad been the cause of his destruction, he cast into the den, and they were devoured in a moment before him.
13dc 14:42 Then the king said: Let all the inhabitants of the whole earth fear the God of Daniel: for he is the Saviour, working signs, and wonders in the earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions’ den.
13e 13:5 And there were two of the ancients of the people appointed judges that year, of whom the Lord said: Iniquity came out from Babylon from the ancient judges, that seemed to govern the people.
13f 13:6 These men frequented the house of Joakim, and all that had any matters of judgment came to them.
13g 13:7 And when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went in, and walked in her husband’s orchard.
13h 13:8 And the old men saw her going in every day, and walking: and they were inflamed with lust towards her:
13i 13:9 And they perverted their own mind and turned away their eyes that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments.
13j 13:10 So they were both wounded with the love of her, yet they did not make known their grief one to the other:
13k 13:11 For they were ashamed to declare to one another their lust, being desirous to have to do with her.
13l 13:12 And they watched carefully every day to see her. And one said to the other:
13m 13:13 Let us now go home, for it is dinner time. So going out they departed one from another.
13n 13:14 And turning back again, they came both to the same place: and asking one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust; and then they agreed upon a time, when they might find her alone.
13o 13:15 And it fell out, as they watched a fit day, she went in on a time, as yesterday and the day before, with two maids only, and was desirous to wash herself in the orchard: for it was hot weather.
13p 13:16 And there was nobody there, but the two old men that had hid themselves and were beholding her.
13q 13:17 So she said to the maids: Bring me oil, and washing balls, and shut the doors of the orchard, that I may wash me.
13r 13:18 And they did as she bade them: and they shut the doors of the orchard, and went out by a back door to fetch what she had commanded them, and they knew not that the elders were hid within.
13s 13:19 Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders arose, and ran to her, and said:
13t 13:20 Behold the doors of the orchard are shut, and nobody seeth us, and we are in love with thee: wherefore consent to us, and lie with us.
13u 13:21 But if thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a young man was with thee, and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee.
13v 13:22 Susanna sighed, and said: I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death to me: and if I do it not, I shall not escape your hands.
13w 13:23 But it is better for me to fall into your hands without doing it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.
13x 13:24 With that Susanna cried out with a loud voice: and the elders also cried out against her.
13y 13:25 And one of them ran to the door of the orchard, and opened it.
13z 13:26 So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the orchard, they rushed in by the back door to see what was the matter.
