Daniel 7
1 Prve godine Baltazara, kralja babilonskoga, usni Daniel san: utvare mu se na postelji vrzle glavom. Sažeto zapisa što je usnio.
In the first year of Baltasar, king of the Chaldeans Daniel had a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed: and he wrote his dream.
2 Kazivaše ovako: Noću u viđenju pogledah, kad eno: četiri vjetra nebeska uzbibaše veliko more.
I Daniel saw, and, behold, the four winds of heaven blew violently upon the great sea.
3 Četiri goleme nemani iziđoše iz mora, svaka drukčija. Prva bijaše kao lav, a krila joj orlovska.
And there came up four great beasts out of the sea, differing from one another.
4 Dok je promatrah, krila joj se iščupaše, diže se ona sa zemlje i uspravi na noge kao čovjek, i bijaše joj dano srce čovječje.
The first [was] as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle's; I saw until her wings were plucked, ands she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on human feet, and a man's heart was given to her.
5 Kad eno druga neman: gle, sasvim drukčija: kao medvjed, s jedne strane uspravljena, tri joj rebra u raljama, među zubima. I bijaše joj rečeno: “Ustani, nažderi se mesa!”
And, behold, a second beast like a bear, and it supported itself on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth: and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 Gledah dalje, i evo: treća neman kao leopard, na leđima joj četiri ptičja krila: imaše četiri glave, i dana joj je moć.
After this one I looked, and behold another wild beast as a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon it: and the wild beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
7 Zatim, u noćnim viđenjima, pogledah, kad eno: četvrta neman, strahovita, užasna, izvanredno snažna: imaše velike gvozdene zube; ona žderaše, mrvljaše, a što preostade, gazila je nogama. Razlikovala se od prijašnjih nemani i imaše deset rogova.
After this one I looked, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet: and it was altogether different from the beasts that were before it; and it [had] ten hours.
8 Promatrah joj rogove, i gle: među njima poraste jedan mali rog; i pred tim se rogom iščupaše tri prijašnja roga. I gle, na tome rogu oči kao oči čovječje i usta koja govorahu velike hule.
I noticed his horns, and behold, another little horn came up in the midst of them, and before it three of the former horns were rooted out: and, behold, [there were] eyes as the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 Gledao sam: Prijestolja bjehu postavljena i Pradavni sjede. Odijelo mu bijelo poput snijega; vlasi na glavi kao čista vuna. Njegovo prijestolje kao plamenovi ognjeni i točkovi kao žarki oganj.
I saw until the thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head, as pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, [and] his wheels burning fire.
10 Rijeka ognjena tekla, izvirala ispred njega. Tisuću tisuća služahu njemu, mirijade stajahu pred njim. Sud sjede, knjige se otvoriše.
A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads, attended upon him: the judgement sat, and the books were opened.
11 Ja gledah tada, zbog buke velikih hula što ih govoraše rog, i dok gledah, neman bi ubijena, njezino tijelo raskomadano i predano ognju.
I saw then because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke, until the wild beast was slain and destroyed, and his body given to be burnt with fire.
12 Ostalim nemanima vlast bi oduzeta, ali im duljina života bi na jedno vrijeme i rok.
And the dominion of the rest of the wild beasts was taken away; but a prolonging of life was given them for certain times.
13 Gledah u noćnim viđenjima i gle, na oblacima nebeskim dolazi kao Sin čovječji. On se približi Pradavnome i dovedu ga k njemu.
I saw in the night vision, and, behold, [one] coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him.
14 Njemu bi predana vlast, čast i kraljevstvo, da mu služe svi narodi, plemena i jezici. Vlast njegova vlast je vječna i nikada neće proći, kraljevstvo njegovo neće propasti.
And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
15 Meni, Danielu, smete se zbog toga sav duh, viđenja mi se vrzoše glavom, svega me prestraviše.
[As for] me Daniel, my spirit in my body trembled, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Pristupih jednome od onih koji stajahu ondje i zamolih ga da mi rekne istinu o svemu tome. On mi odgovori i kaza mi značenje:
And I drew near to one of them that stood by, and I sought to learn of him the truth of all these things: and he told me the truth, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
17 “One četiri goleme nemani jesu četiri kralja koji će se dići na zemlji.
These four beasts are four kingdoms [that] shall rise up on the earth:
18 Ali će od njih kraljevstvo preuzeti Sveci Svevišnjega i oni će ga posjedovati za vijeke vjekova.”
which shall be taken away; and the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess it for ever and ever.
19 Zaželjeh tada saznati istinu o četvrtoj nemani, onoj koja se razlikovaše od svih drugih, bila izvanredno strašna, imala gvozdene zube i mjedene pandže i koja je žderala i mrvila i nogama gazila što preostajaše;
Then I enquired carefully concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every [other] beast, exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass, devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder with its feet:
20 i o deset rogova što bijahu na njezinoj glavi, i o drugom rogu koji poraste dok tri prva otpadoše - o rogu koji imaše oči i usta što govorahu velike hule i koji bijaše veći nego drugi rogovi.
and concerning it ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and rooted up [some] of the former, which had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and his look was bolder than the rest.
21 I gledao sam kako ovaj rog ratuje protiv Svetaca te ih nadvladava,
I saw, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 dok ne dođe Pradavni, koji dosudi pravdu Svecima Svevišnjega, i dok ne dođe vrijeme kad Sveci zaposjedoše kraljevstvo.
until the Ancient of days came, and he gave judgement to the saints of the Most High; and the time came on, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 On reče: “Četvrta neman bit će četvrto kraljevstvo na zemlji, različito od svih kraljevstava. Progutat će svu zemlju, zgazit' je i smrviti.
And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall excel all [other] kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and trample and destroy it.
24 A deset rogova: Od ovoga kraljevstva nastat će deset kraljeva, a iza njih će se podići jedan drugi različit od onih prvih - i oborit će tri kralja.
And his ten horns are ten kings [that] shall arise: and after them shall arise another, who shall exceed all the former ones in wickedness and he shall subdue three kings.
25 On će huliti na Svevišnjega, zatirati Svece Svevišnjega; pomišljat će da promijeni blagdane i Zakon, i Sveci će biti predani u njegove ruke na jedno vrijeme i dva vremena i polovinu vremena.
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change times and law: and [power] shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
26 Tada će sjesti Sud, vlast mu oduzeti, razoriti, sasvim uništiti.
And the judgement has sat, and they shall remove [his] dominion to abolish it, and to destroy it utterly.
27 A kraljevstvo, vlast i veličanstvo pod svim nebesima dat će se puku Svetaca Svevišnjega. Kraljevstvo njegovo kraljevstvo je vječno, i sve vlasti služit će mu i pokoravati se njemu.”
And the kingdom and the power and the greatness of the kings that are under the whole heaven were given to the saints of the Most High; and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all powers shall serve and obey him.
28 Ovdje se završava izvještaj. Ja, Daniel, bijah vrlo potresen u svojim mislima i lice mi problijedje, ali sve ovo sačuvah u srcu svojemu.
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance was changed: but I kept the matter in my heart.
