Daniel 10
1 In the third yeere of Cyrus King of Persia, a thing was reueiled vnto Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar) and the worde was true, but the time appointed was long, and he vnderstood the thing, and had vnderstanding of the vision.
Treće godine Kira, kralja perzijskoga, Danielu, prozvanome Baltazar, bi objavljena riječ - riječ istinita: velik rat. On je nastojao razumjeti riječ, i razumijevanje bi mu dano u viđenju.
2 At the same time I Daniel was in heauines for three weekes of dayes.
U te dane ja, Daniel, žalovao sam tri sedmice:
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint my selfe at all, till three weekes of dayes were fulfilled.
nisam jeo tečnih jela; meso ni vino nije ulazilo u moja usta i nisam se mazao uljem dok ne prođoše te tri sedmice.
4 And in the foure and twentieth day of the first moneth, as I was by the side of that great riuer, euen Hiddekel,
Dvadeset i četvrtoga dana prvog mjeseca bijah na obali velike rijeke Tigrisa;
5 And I lift vp mine eyes, and looked, and beholde, there was a man clothed in linnen, whose loynes were girded with fine golde of Vphaz.
podigoh oči da vidim, i gle: Čovjek odjeven u lanene haljine, oko pasa mu pojas od zlata ofirskoga,
6 His body also was like the Chrysolite, and his face (to looke vpon) like the lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his armes and his feete were like in colour to polished brasse, and the voyce of his wordes was like the voyce of a multitude.
tijelo mu poput krizolita, lice kao munja, oči kao baklje ognjene, ruke i noge poput mjedi uglađene, zvuk riječi njegovih kao žamor mnoštva.
7 And I Daniel alone sawe the vision: for the men that were with me, sawe not the vision: but a great feare fell vpon them, so that they fled away and hid themselues.
Jedini ja, Daniel, gledah ovo viđenje, ljudi koji bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe ga, ali ih spopade silan strah te pobjegoše da se sakriju.
8 Therefore I was left alone, and sawe this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my strength was turned in me into corruption, and I reteined no power.
Ostadoh sam gledajući to veliko viđenje; onemoćah, lice mi problijedje, iznakazi se, snaga me ostavi.
9 Yet heard I the voyce of his wordes: and when I heard the voyce of his wordes, I slept on my face: and my face was toward the ground.
Začuh glas njegovih riječi, i kad razabrah glas, onesvijestih se i padoh licem na zemlju.
10 And behold, an hand touched me, which set me vp vpon my knees and vpon the palmes of mine hands.
I gle: ruka me dotače i pomože mi da se uprem na koljena i na dlanove.
11 And he sayde vnto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloued, vnderstand the wordes that I speake vnto thee, and stand in thy place: for vnto thee am I nowe sent. And when hee had sayde this worde vnto me, I stood trembling.
On mi reče: “Daniele, miljeniče, pripazi na riječi koje ću ti kazati! Ustani, jer ja sam evo k tebi poslan.” To reče, a ja ustadoh dršćući.
12 Then sayd he vnto me, Feare not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou diddest set thine heart to vnderstand, and to humble thy selfe before thy God, thy wordes were heard, and I am come for thy wordes.
I kaza mi: “Ne boj se, Daniele, jer od prvoga dana kad si odlučio da se poniziš pred svojim Bogom da bi razumio, tvoje su riječi uslišane i ja sam došao zbog tvojih riječi.
13 But the prince of the kingdome of Persia withstoode me one and twentie dayes: but loe, Michael one of the chiefe princes, came to helpe me, and I remained there by the Kings of Persia.
Knez kraljevstva perzijskoga protivio mi se dvadeset i jedan dan, ali Mihael, jedan od prvih Knezova, dođe mi u pomoć. Ostavih ga nasuprot Knezu perzijskome,
14 Nowe I am come to shewe thee what shall come to thy people in the latter dayes: for yet the vision is for many dayes.
a ja dođoh da ti kažem što će zadesiti tvoj narod na svršetku dana. Jer još će jedno viđenje biti za one dane.”
15 And when he spake these wordes vnto me, I set my face towarde the grounde, and helde my tongue.
Pošto mi to reče, ja oborih pogled na zemlju, bez riječi.
16 And beholde, one like the similitude of the sonnes of man touched my lippes: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said vnto him that stoode before me, O my Lord, by the vision my sorowes are returned vpon me, and I haue reteined no strength.
I gle: onaj, sličan sinu čovječjem dotače se mojih usana. Otvorih usta da govorim te rekoh onome koji stajaše preda mnom: “Gospodaru moj, zbog ovog viđenja obuzeše me tjeskobe i onemoćah.
17 For howe can the seruant of this my Lord talke with my Lord being such one? for as for me, straight way there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
I kako će sluga Gospodina svoga govoriti s Gospodinom kad posve onemoćah i dah me ostavi?”
18 Then there came againe, and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Tada me se opet dotače onaj što bijaše kao čovjek te me okrijepi.
19 And said, O man, greatly beloued, feare not: peace be vnto thee: be strong and of good courage. And when he had spoken vnto me, I was strengthened, and saide, Let my Lord speake: for thou hast strengthened me.
On reče: “Ne boj se, miljeniče! Mir tebi! Budi jak! Ohrabri se!” I dok mi to govoraše, ja se ohrabrih pa rekoh: “Govori, Gospodine, jer si me ohrabrio!”
20 Then saide he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come vnto thee? but nowe will I returne to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, loe, the prince of Grecia shall come.
Tada će on: “Znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? Sad ću se vratiti da se borim protiv Kneza Perzije; a čim svršim, doći će Knez Grčke.
21 But I will shew thee that which is decreeed in the Scripture of trueth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
Ali ću ti prije otkriti što je zapisano u Knjizi istine. Nema nikoga tko bi se sa mnom protiv njih borio, osim Mihaela, Kneza vašega,
