< Daniel 8 >

1 In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar a vision appeared to me, [even] to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Треће године царовања Валтасаровог показа се мени Данилу утвара после оне која ми се показала пре.
2 And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Ælam, and I was on the [bank of] Ubal.
И видех у утвари; а бејах у Сусану у граду који је у земљи Еламу, кад видех, и видех у утвари и бејах на води Улају.
3 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one came up last.
И подигох очи своје и видех, и гле, стајаше крај воде ован, који имаше два рога, а рогови беху високи, али један виши од другог, и виши нарасте после.
4 And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.
Видех овна где боде на запад и на север и на југ, и ниједна звер не могаше му одолети, и не беше никога ко би избавио од њега, него чињаше шта хоћаше, и осили.
5 And I was considering, and, behold, a he-goat came from the south-west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat [had] a horn between his eyes.
А кад ја мотрах, гле, иђаше јарац од запада поврх све земље, а не дотицаше се земље; и тај јарац имаше рог знаменит међу очима својим.
6 And he came to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the violence of his strength.
И дође до овна који имаше два рога, ког видех где стоји крај воде, и потрча на њ гневно силом својом.
7 And I saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he smote the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
И видех га где дође до овна, и разгневивши се на њ удари овна, те му сломи оба рога и не беше силе у овну да му одоли, него га обори на земљу и погази га, и не беше никога да избави овна од њега.
8 And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other [horns] rose up in its place toward the four winds of heaven.
И јарац поста врло велик; а кад осили, сломи се велики рог, и место њега нарастоше знаменита четири рога према четири ветра небеска.
9 And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:
И из једног од њих изиђе један рог мален и нарасте врло велик према југу и истоку и према красној земљи.
10 and it magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth [some] of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.
И нарасте дори до војске небеске, и обори на земљу неке од војске и од звезда, и погази их.
11 And [this shall be] until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.
И нарасте дори до поглавара тој војсци, и узе Му свагдашњу жртву, и свети стан Његов обори.
12 And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
И војска би дана у отпад од жртве свагдашње, и обори истину на земљу, и шта чињаше напредоваше му.
13 And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision continue, [even] the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and [how long] shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?
Тада чух једног свеца где говораше; и један светац рече некоме који говораше: Докле ће трајати та утвара за свагдашњу жртву и за отпад пустошни да се гази светиња и војска?
14 And he said to him, Evening and morning [there shall be] two thousand and four hundred days; and [then] the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
И рече ми: До две хиљаде и три стотине дана и ноћи; онда ће се светиња очистити.
15 And it came to pass, as I, [even] I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
А кад видех ја Данило ову утвару, и заисках да разумем, гле, стаде преда ме као човек.
16 And I heard the voice of a man between [the banks of] the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to understand the vision.
И чух глас човечији насред Улаја, који повика и рече: Гаврило, кажи овоме утвару.
17 And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for an appointed time.
И дође где ја стајах; и кад дође уплаших се, и падох на лице своје; а он ми рече: Пази, сине човечији, јер је ова утвара за последње време.
18 And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.
А док ми он говораше, ја бејах изван себе лежећи ничице на земљи; а он ме се дотаче, и исправи ме, те стадох.
19 And he said, Behold, I make thee know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision [is] yet for an appointed time.
И рече: Ево, ја ћу ти казати шта ће бити на крају гнева; јер ће у одређено време бити крај.
20 The ram which thou sawest that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.
Ован што си га видео, који има два рога, то су цареви мидски и персијски.
21 The he-goat is the king of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.
А руњави је јарац цар грчки; и велики рог што му беше међу очима, то је први цар.
22 And [as for] the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their [own] strength.
А шта се он сломи, и место њега нарастоше четири, то су четири царства, која ће настати иза тог народа, али не његовом силом.
23 And at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.
А на крају царовања њиховог, кад безаконици наврше меру, настаће цар бестидан и лукав.
24 And his power [shall be] great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, and the holy people.
Сила ће му бити јака, али не од његове јачине, и чудесно ће пустошити, и биће срећан и свршиваће, и губиће силне и народ свети.
25 And the yoke of his chain shall prosper: [there is] craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.
И лукавством његовим напредоваће превара у његовој руци, и подигнуће се у срцу свом, и у миру ће погубити многе, и устаће на Кнеза над кнезовима, али ће се потрти без руке.
26 And the vision of the evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do thou seal the vision; for [it is] for many days.
А речена утвара о дану и ноћи истина је; зато ти запечати утвару, јер је за много времена.
27 And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king’s business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood [it].
Тада ја Данило занемогох, и боловах неко време; после устах и врших послове цареве; и чудих се утвари, али нико не дозна.
