Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.
Car Navuhodonosor svijem narodima, plemenima i jezicima što su po svoj zemlji, mir da vam se umnoži.
2 It has seemed good to me to make clear the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done with me.
Svidje mi se da objavim znake i èudesa što mi uèini Bog višnji.
3 How great are his signs! and how full of power are his wonders! his kingdom is an eternal kingdom and his rule goes on from generation to generation.
Znaci njegovi kako su veliki! i èudesa njegova kako su silna! carstvo je njegovo carstvo vjeèno, i vlast njegova od koljena do koljena.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my place, and all things were going well for me in my great house:
Ja Navuhodonosor bijah miran u kuæi svojoj i cvatijah u dvoru svom.
5 I saw a dream which was a cause of great fear to me; I was troubled by the images of my mind on my bed, and by the visions of my head.
Usnih san, koji me uplaši, i misli na postelji mojoj i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.
6 And I gave orders for all the wise men of Babylon to come in before me so that they might make clear to me the sense of my dream.
I zapovjedih da se dovedu preda me svi mudarci Vavilonski da mi kažu što znaèi san.
7 Then the wonder-workers, the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs came in to me: and I put the dream before them but they did not make clear the sense of it to me.
Tada doðoše vraèari, zvjezdari, Haldeji i gatari, i pripovjedih im san, ali mi ne mogoše kazati što znaèi.
8 But at last Daniel came in before me, he whose name was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I put the dream before him, saying,
Najposlije doðe preda me Danilo, koji se zove Valtasar po imenu boga mojega, i u kom je duh svetijeh bogova, i pripovjedih mu san:
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the wonder-workers, because I am certain that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and you are troubled by no secret; this is the dream which I saw: make clear to me its sense.
Valtasare, poglavare vraèarima, znam da je duh svetijeh bogova u tebi i nikaka tajna nije ti teška; kaži san moj što sam snio i što znaèi.
10 On my bed I saw a vision: there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and it was very high.
A utvara glave moje na postelji mojoj bješe: vidjeh, gle, drvo usred zemlje, i visina mu velika.
11 And the tree became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven, and to be seen from the ends of the earth:
Drvo bješe veliko i jako, i visina mu dosezaše do neba, i viðaše se do kraja sve zemlje.
12 Its leaves were fair and it had much fruit, and in it was food enough for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the birds of heaven were resting in its branches, and it gave food to all living things.
Lišæe mu bješe lijepo i rod obilat, i na njemu bješe hrane svemu; zvijerje poljsko odmaraše se u hladu njegovu, i na granama njegovijem stanovahu ptice nebeske, i od njega se hranjaše svako tijelo.
13 In the visions of my head on my bed I saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven,
Vidjeh u utvarama glave svoje na postelji svojoj, i gle, stražar i svetac siðe s neba.
14 Crying out with a loud voice; and this is what he said: Let the tree be cut down and its branches broken off; let its leaves be taken off and its fruit sent in every direction: let the beasts get away from under it and the birds from its branches:
Povika jako i reèe ovako: posijecite drvo, i okrešite mu grane, pokidajte mu lišæe i razmetnite mu rod; neka pobjegnu zvijeri ispod njega i ptice s grana njegovijeh.
15 But keep its broken end and its roots still in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass; let him have the young grass of the field for food, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his part be with the beasts.
Ali panj sa žilama ostavite mu u zemlji, u okovima gvozdenijem i mjedenijem u travi poljskoj, neka ga kvasi rosa nebeska i dio da mu je sa zvijerjem od trave zemaljske.
16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man, and the heart of a beast be given to him; and let seven times go by him.
Srce èovjeèije neka mu se promijeni, i srce životinjsko neka mu se da, i sedam vremena neka proðe preko njega.
17 This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.
To su odredili stražari i izrekli sveti da bi poznali živi da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim, i daje ga kome hoæe, i postavlja nad njim najnižega izmeðu ljudi.
18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw; and do you, O Belteshazzar, make clear the sense of it, for all the wise men of my kingdom are unable to make the sense of it clear to me; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
Taj san snih ja car Navuhodonosor; a ti, Valtasare, kaži što znaèi, jer nijedan mudarac u carstvu mom ne može da mi kaže što znaèi; a ti možeš, jer je u tebi duh svetijeh bogova.
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was at a loss for a time, his thoughts troubling him. The king made answer and said, Belteshazzar, do not be troubled by the dream or by the sense of it. Belteshazzar, answering, said, My lord, may the dream be about your haters, and its sense about those who are against you.
Tada Danilo, koji se zvaše Valtasar, osta u èudu za jedan sahat, i misli ga uznemiravahu. A car progovori i reèe: Valtasare, san i znaèenje mu da te ne uznemiruje. A Valtasar odgovori i reèe: gospodaru moj, san da bude tvojim nenavidnicima, i znaèenje njegovo neprijateljima tvojim.
20 The tree which you saw, which became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven and seen from the ends of the earth;
Drvo što si vidio, veliko i jako, kojemu visina dosezaše do neba i koje se viðaše po svoj zemlji,
21 Which had fair leaves and much fruit, and had in it food for all; under which the beasts of the field were living, and in the branches of which the birds of heaven had their resting-places:
Kojemu lišæe bješe lijepo i rod obilan, i na kom bješe hrane svemu, pod kojim stanovaše zvijerje poljsko i na granama mu sjeðahu ptice nebeske,
22 It is you, O King, who have become great and strong: for your power is increased and stretching up to heaven, and your rule to the end of the earth.
To si ti, care, koji si velik i silan, i velièina je tvoja visoka i doseže do neba i vlast tvoja do krajeva zemaljskih.
23 And as for the vision which the king saw of a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven, saying, Let the tree be cut down and given to destruction;
A što car vidje stražara i sveca gdje slažaše s neba i govoraše: posijecite drvo i potrite ga, ali mu panj sa žilama ostavite u zemlji u okovima gvozdenijem i mjedenijem u travi poljskoj, da ga kvasi rosa nebeska, i sa zvijerjem poljskim neka mu je dio dokle sedam vremena proðe preko njega,
24 This is the sense of it, O King, and it is the decision of the Most High which has come on my lord the king:
Ovo znaèi, care, i ovo je naredba višnjega koja æe se izvršiti na mom gospodaru caru:
25 That they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and you will be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.
Biæeš prognan izmeðu ljudi, i sa zvijerima æeš poljskim živjeti, i hraniæe te travom kao goveda, i rosa æe te nebeska kvasiti, i sedam æe vremena proæi preko tebe dokle poznaš da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim i daje ga kome hoæe.
26 And as they gave orders to let the broken end and the roots of the tree be, so your kingdom will be safe for you after it is clear to you that the heavens are ruling.
A što se reèe da se ostavi panj sa žilama od drveta, carstvo æe ti ostati, kad poznaš da nebesa vladaju.
27 For this cause, O King, let my suggestion be pleasing to you, and let your sins be covered by righteousness and your evil-doing by mercy to the poor, so that the time of your well-being may be longer.
Zato, care, da ti je ugodan moj svjet, oprosti se grijeha svojih pravdom, i bezakonja svojih milošæu prema nevoljnima, eda bi ti se produljio mir.
28 All this came to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Sve ovo doðe na cara Navuhodonosora.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of his great house in Babylon.
Poslije dvanaest mjeseca hodaše po carskom dvoru u Vavilonu.
30 The king made answer and said, Is this not great Babylon, which I have made for the living-place of kings, by the strength of my power and for the glory of my honour?
I progovori car i reèe: nije li to Vavilon veliki što ga ja sazidah jakom silom svojom da je stolica carska i slava velièanstvu mojemu?
31 While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is said: The kingdom has gone from you:
Te rijeèi još bjehu u ustima caru, a glas doðe s neba: tebi se govori, care Navuhodonosore: carstvo se uze od tebe.
32 And they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.
I biæeš prognan izmeðu ljudi, i živjeæeš sa zvijerjem poljskim, hraniæe te travom kao goveda, i sedam æe vremena proæi preko tebe dokle poznaš da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim i daje ga kome hoæe.
33 That very hour the order about Nebuchadnezzar was put into effect: and he was sent out from among men, and had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair became long as eagles' feathers and his nails like those of birds.
U taj èas ispuni se ta rijeè na Navuhodonosoru; i bi prognan izmeðu ljudi i jede travu kao goveda, i rosa nebeska kvasi mu tijelo da mu narastoše dlake kao pera u orla i nokti kao u ptica.
34 And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.
Ali poslije toga vremena ja Navuhodonosor podigoh oèi svoje k nebu, i um moj vrati mi se, i blagoslovih višnjega, i hvalih i slavih onoga koji živi dovijeka, èija je vlast vlast vjeèna i èije je carstvo od koljena do koljena;
35 And all the people of the earth are as nothing: he does his pleasure in the army of heaven and among the people of the earth: and no one is able to keep back his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?
I svi stanovnici zemaljski ništa nijesu prema njemu, i radi što hoæe s vojskom nebeskom i sa stanovnicima zemaljskim, i nema nikoga da bi mu ruku ustavio i rekao mu: šta radiš?
36 At the same time my reason came back to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my great name came back to me; and my wise men and my lords were turned to me again; and I was made safe in my kingdom and had more power than before.
U to vrijeme um moj vrati mi se, i na slavu carstva mojega vrati mi se velièanstvo moje i svjetlost moja; i dvorani moji i knezovi moji potražiše me, i utvrdih se u carstvu svom, i doda mi se više velièanstva.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give worship and praise and honour to the King of heaven; for all his works are true and his ways are right: and those who go in pride he is able to make low.
Sada ja Navuhodonosor hvalim, uzvišujem i slavim cara nebeskoga, èija su sva djela istina i èiji su putovi pravedni i koji može oboriti one koji hode ponosito.
