Daniel 5
1 Later, King Belshazzar held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he drank wine with them.
Car Valtasar uèini veliku gozbu tisuæi knezova svojih, i pijaše vino pred tisuæom njih.
2 Under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar gave orders to bring in the gold and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king could drink from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
Napiv se vina Valtasar zapovjedi da se donesu sudovi zlatni i srebrni, koje bješe odnio Navuhodonosor otac mu iz crkve Jerusalimske, da iz njih piju car i knezovi mu, i žene njegove i inoèe njegove.
3 Thus they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king drank from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
I donesoše zlatne sudove koje bjehu odnijeli iz crkve doma Gospodnjega u Jerusalimu, i pijahu iz njih car i knezovi njegovi, žene njegove i inoèe njegove;
4 As they drank the wine, they praised their gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.
Pijahu vino, i hvaljahu bogove zlatne i srebrne i mjedene i drvene i kamene.
5 At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. As the king watched the hand that was writing,
U taj èas izidoše prsti ruke èovjeèije, i pisahu prema svijetnjaku po okreèenom zidu od carskoga dvora, i car vidje ruku koja pisaše.
6 his face grew pale and his thoughts so alarmed him that his hips gave way and his knees knocked together.
Tada se promijeni lice caru, i misli ga njegove uznemiriše, i pojas se oko njega raspasa i koljena mu udarahu jedno o drugo.
7 The king called out for the enchanters, astrologers, and diviners to be brought in, and he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this inscription and tells me its interpretation will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
Povika car iza glasa; te dovedoše zvjezdare, Haldeje i gatare; i progovori car i reèe mudarcima Vavilonskim: ko proèita ovo pismo i kaže mi što znaèi, onaj æe se obuæi u skerlet, i nosiæe zlatnu verižicu o vratu, i biæe treæi gospodar u carstvu.
8 So all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or interpret it for him.
Tada pristupiše svi mudarci carevi; ali ne mogoše proèitati pisma niti kazati caru što znaèi.
9 Then King Belshazzar became even more terrified, his face grew even more pale, and his nobles were bewildered.
Tada se car Valtasar vrlo uznemiri i lice mu se sasvijem izmijeni; i knezovi se njegovi prepadoše.
10 Hearing the outcry of the king and his nobles, the queen entered the banquet hall. “O king, may you live forever!” she said. “Do not let your thoughts terrify you, or your face grow pale.
Doðe carica radi toga što se dogodi caru i knezovima njegovijem u kuæu gdje bješe gozba, i progovori carica i reèe: care, da si živ dovijeka! da te ne uznemiruju misli tvoje i da ti se lice ne mijenja.
11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your own father, the king,
Ima èovjek u tvom carstvu, u kom je duh svetijeh bogova; i u vrijeme oca tvojega naðe se u njega vidjelo i razum i mudrost, kakova je u bogova, i car Navuhodonosor otac tvoj, care, postavi ga glavarem vraèarima, zvjezdarima, Haldejima i gatarima;
12 did this because Daniel, the one he named Belteshazzar, was found to have an extraordinary spirit, as well as knowledge, understanding, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. Summon Daniel, therefore, and he will give you the interpretation.”
Jer velik duh i znanje i razum za kazivanje sanova i pogaðanje zagonetaka i razmršivanje zamršenijeh stvari naðe se u Danila, kojemu car nadje ime Valtasar; neka sada dozovu Danila, i on æe kazati što znaèi.
13 So Daniel was brought before the king, who asked him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah?
Tada Danilo bi doveden pred cara. Car progovori Danilu i reèe: jesi li ti Danilo izmeðu roblja Judina koje dovede iz Judejske car otac moj?
14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you have insight, intelligence, and extraordinary wisdom.
Èuh za tebe da je duh svetijeh bogova u tebi, i vidjelo i razum i mudrost velika da se naðe u tebe.
15 Now the wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this inscription and interpret it for me, but they could not give its interpretation.
A sada su dovedeni preda me mudarci, zvjezdari, da proèitaju pismo i kažu mi što znaèi; ali ne mogu da kažu što to znaèi.
16 But I have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Therefore, if you can read this inscription and give me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
A za tebe ja èuh da možeš protumaèiti, i zamršene stvari razmrsiti. Ako dakle možeš proèitati ovo pismo i kazati mi što znaèi, obuæi æeš se u skerlet, i zlatnu verižicu nosiæeš o vratu, i biæeš treæi gospodar u carstvu.
17 In response, Daniel said to the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the king and interpret it for him.
Tada odgovori Danilo i reèe pred carem: darovi tvoji neka tebi, i podaj drugomu poklone svoje; a pismo æu ja proèitati caru i kazati što znaèi.
18 As for you, O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor.
Care, Bog višnji dade carstvo i velièinu i slavu i èast Navuhodonosoru ocu tvojemu.
19 Because of the greatness that He bestowed on him, the people of every nation and language trembled in fear before him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished.
I od velièine koju mu dade svi narodi, plemena i jezici drktahu pred njim i bojahu ga se; ubijaše koga hoæaše, i ostavljaše u životu koga hoæaše, uzvišivaše koga hoæaše, i poniživaše koga hoæaše.
20 But when his heart became arrogant and his spirit was hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken from him.
Ali kada mu se podiže srce i duh mu se posili u oholosti, bi smetnut s carskoga prijestola svojega, i uzeše mu slavu.
21 He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.
I bi prognan izmeðu ljudi i srce mu posta kao u zvijeri, i stan mu bijaše s divljim magarcima, hraniše ga travom kao goveda, i rosa nebeska kvasi mu tijelo, dokle pozna da Bog višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim, i koga hoæe postavlja nad njim.
22 But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.
A ti, Valtasare, sine njegov, nijesi ponizio srca svojega premda si znao sve ovo.
23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
Nego si se podigao na Gospoda nebeskoga, i sudove doma njegova donesoše preda te, i piste iz njih vino ti i knezovi tvoji, žene tvoje i inoèe tvoje, i ti hvali bogove srebrne i zlatne, mjedene, gvozdene, drvene i kamene, koji ne vide niti èuju niti razumiju, a ne slavi Boga, u èijoj je ruci duša tvoja i svi putovi tvoji.
24 Therefore He sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
Zato od njega bi poslana ruka i ovo pismo bi napisano.
25 Now this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.
A ovo je pismo napisano: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UFARSIN.
26 And this is the interpretation of the message: MENE means that God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
A ovo znaèe te rijeèi: MENE, brojio je Bog tvoje carstvo, i do kraja izbrojio.
27 TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.
TEKEL, izmjeren si na mjerila, i našao si se lak.
28 PERES means that your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”
FERES, razdijeljeno je carstvo tvoje, i dano Midijanima i Persijanima.
29 Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and proclaimed him the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
Tada zapovjedi Valtasar, te obukoše Danila u skerlet, i metnuše mu zlatnu verižicu oko vrata, i proglasiše za nj da je treæi gospodar u carstvu.
30 That very night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans was slain,
Istu noæ bi ubijen Valtasar car Haldejski.
31 and Darius the Mede received the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.
A Darije Midijanin preuze carstvo, i bješe mu oko šezdeset i dvije godine.
