Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Baltasar; and the thing was true, and great power and understanding in the vision was given to him.
Treæe godine Kira cara Persijskoga objavi se rijeè Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar; i rijeè bješe istinita i o velikim stvarima; i razabra rijeè i razumje utvaru.
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
U to vrijeme ja Danilo bjeh u žalosti tri nedjelje dana.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, and no flesh or wine entered into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself with oil, until three whole weeks were accomplished.
Jela ugodna ne jedoh, ni meso ni vino ne uðe u moja usta, niti se namazah uljem dok se ne navršiše tri nedjelje dana.
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was near the great river, which is Tigris Eddekel.
A dvadeset èetvrtoga dana prvoga mjeseca bijah na brijegu velike rijeke Hidekela.
5 And I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with gold of Ophaz:
I podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, a to jedan èovjek obuèen u platno, i pojas bješe oko njega od èistoga zlata iz Ufaza;
6 and his body was as Tharsis, and his face was a the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
A tijelo mu bješe kao hrisolit, i lice mu kao munja a oèi mu kao luèevi zapaljeni, a ruke i noge kao mjed uglaðena, a glas od rijeèi njegovijeh kao glas mnogoga ljudstva.
7 And I Daniel only saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear.
I ja Danilo sam vidjeh utvaru, a ljudi što bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe je, ali ih popade strah velik, te pobjegoše i sakriše se.
8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength.
I ostah sam, i vidjeh tu veliku utvaru, i ne osta snage u meni, i ljepota mi se nagrdi, i ne imah snage.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard him I was pricked [in the heart], and [I fell with] my face to the earth.
I èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, i kad èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, izvan sebe padoh nièice licem na zemlju.
10 And, behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees.
I gle, ruka me se dotaèe i podiže me na koljena moja i na dlanove moje.
11 And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to you, and stand upright: for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken to me this word, I stood trembling.
I reèe mi: Danilo, mili èovjeèe! slušaj rijeèi koje æu ti kazati, i stani pravo, jer sam sada poslan k tebi. I kad mi reèe tu rijeè, ustah drkæuæi.
12 And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to afflict yourself before the Lord your God, they words were heard, and I am come because of your words.
I reèe mi: ne boj se, Danilo, jer prvoga dana kad si upravio srce svoje da razumijevaš i da muèiš sebe pred Bogom svojim, uslišene biše rijeèi tvoje, i ja doðoh tvojih rijeèi radi.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians withstood me twenty-one days: and behold, Michael, one of the princes, came to help me; and I left him there with the chief of the kingdom of the Persians:
Ali knez carstva Persijskoga staja mi nasuprot dvadeset i jedan dan; ali, gle, Mihailo jedan od prvijeh knezova doðe mi u pomoæ; tako ja ostah ondje kod careva Persijskih.
14 and I have come to inform you of all that shall befall your people in the last days: for the vision is yet for [many] days.
I doðoh da ti kažem šta æe biti tvome narodu poslije; jer æe još biti utvara za te dane.
15 And when he had spoken with me according to these words, I turned my face to the ground, and was pricked [in the heart].
I kad mi govoraše tako, oborih oèi svoje na zemlju i zanijemjeh.
16 And, behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O [my] lord, at the sight of you my bowels were turned within me, and I had no strength.
I gle, kao èovjek dotaèe se usana mojih, i otvorih usta svoja, i progovorih i rekoh onomu koji stajaše prema meni: gospodaru moj, od ove utvare navališe moji bolovi na mene i nema snage u meni.
17 And how shall your servant be able, O [my] lord, to speak with this my lord? and as for me, from henceforth strength will not remain in me, and there is no breath left in me.
A kako može sluga mojega gospodara govoriti s gospodarem mojim? Jer od ovoga èasa u meni nesta snage i ni dihanje ne osta u meni.
18 And there touched me again as it were the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Tada onaj što bijaše kao èovjek opet me se dotaèe i ohrabri me.
19 and said to me, Fear not, man greatly beloved: peace be to you, quit yourself like a man, and be strong. And when he had spoken with me, I received strength, and said, Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.
I reèe: ne boj se, mili èovjeèe; mir da ti je! ohrabri se, ohrabri se. I dokle mi govoraše, ohrabrih se i rekoh: neka govori gospodar moj, jer si me ohrabrio.
20 And he said, Know you, therefore I am come to you? and now I will return to fight with the prince of the Persians: and I was going in, and the prince of the Greeks came.
A on reèe: znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? a sada æu se vratiti da vojujem na kneza Persijskoga; potom æu otiæi, i gle, doæi æe knez Grèki.
21 But I will tell you that which is ordained in the scripture of truth: and there is no one that holds with me in these matters but Michael your prince.
Ali æu ti kazati što je napisano u knjizi istinitoj. Nema nikoga da junaèki radi sa mnom u tom osim Mihaila kneza vašega.
