Daniel 7
1 In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter.
V prvem letu babilonskega kralja Belšacárja je imel Daniel sanje in videnja svoje glave na svoji postelji. Potem je sanje zapisal in povedal povzetek stvari.
2 Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea:
Daniel je spregovoril in rekel: »Videl sem v svojem videnju ponoči in glej, štirje vetrovi neba so se borili nad velikim morjem.
3 And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another.
Štirje veliki zverniki so prišli iz morja, različni drug od drugega.
4 The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him.
Prvi je bil podoben levu in imel je orlove peruti. Gledal sem, dokler niso bile njegove peruti izpuljene in dvignjen je bil z zemlje in primoran stati na stopalih kakor človek, in temu je bilo dano človeško srce.
5 And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh.
Glej še en zvernik, drug, podoben medvedu in ta se je dvignil na eno stran in v ustih, med svojimi zobmi, je imel tri rebra. Rekli so mu takole: ›Vzdigni se, požri veliko mesa.‹
6 After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him.
Potem sem zagledal in glej drug, podoben leopardu, ki je imel na svojem hrbtu štiri krila perjadi. Zvernik je imel tudi štiri glave in dano mu je bilo gospostvo.
7 After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes.
Potem sem v nočnih videnjih zagledal in glej četrtega zvernika, groznega, strašnega in silno močnega. Ta je imel velike železne zobe. Požiral je in lomil na koščke in preostanek poteptal s svojimi stopali. Ta je bil različen od vseh zvernikov, ki so bili pred njim, in ta je imel deset rogov.
8 As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
Opazoval sem rogove in glej, tam se je med njimi vzdignil drug, majhen rog, pred katerim so bili trije izmed prvih rogov izruvani s koreninami. Glej na tem rogu so bile oči, podobne očem človeka in usta, ki so govorila velike stvari.
9 I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
Gledal sem, dokler niso bili prestoli zrušeni in se je Starodavni usedel, katerega obleka je bila bela kakor sneg in lasje njegove glave podobni čisti volni. Njegov prestol je bil podoben ognjenemu plamenu in njegova kolesa kakor goreč ogenj.
10 A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened.
Goreč tok je izviral in prihajal izpred njega. Tisoči tisočev so mu služili in desettisočkrat deset tisoči so stali pred njim. Sodba je bila odrejena in knjige so bile odprte.
11 Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire.
Takrat sem gledal zaradi glasu velikih besed, ki jih je rog spregovoril. Gledal sem, dokler ni bil zvernik pokončan, njegovo telo uničeno in izročeno gorečemu plamenu.
12 As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season.
Glede ostalih zvernikov, njihovo gospostvo jim je bilo odvzeto. Vendar so bila njihova življenja podaljšana za obdobje in čas.
13 As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him.
Videl sem v nočnih videnjih in glej, nekdo, podoben Sinu človekovemu, je prišel z oblaki neba in prišel k Starodavnemu in privedli so ga blizu predenj.
14 And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed.
Dano mu je bilo gospostvo, slava in kraljestvo, da bi mu služila vsa ljudstva, narodi in jeziki. Njegovo gospostvo je večno gospostvo, ki ne bo preminilo in njegovo kraljestvo tisto, ki ne bo uničeno.
15 I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide.
Jaz, Daniel, sem bil užaloščen v svojem duhu v sredi svojega telesa in videnja moje glave so me vznemirila.
16 Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things.
Približal sem se k tistemu izmed njih, ki je stal poleg in ga vprašal resnico o vsem tem. Tako mi je povedal in mi dal spoznati razlago o stvareh.
17 These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
Ti veliki zverniki, ki so štirje, so štirje kralji, ki se bodo vzdignili iz zemlje.
18 And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer.
Toda Sveti Najvišjega bodo prejeli kraljestvo in kraljestvo bodo obdržali v lasti na veke, celo na veke vekov.
19 After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete.
Potem sem želel vedeti resnico o četrtem zverniku, ki je bil različen od vseh ostalih, silno grozen, katerega zobje so bili iz železa in njegovi kremplji iz brona, ki je žrl, lomil na koščke in preostanek poteptal s svojimi stopali
20 Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes.
in o desetih rogovih, ki so bili na njegovi glavi in o drugem, ki se je dvignil in pred katerim so trije padli. Celo o tistem rogu, ki je imel oči in usta, ki so govorila zelo velike stvari, katerega pogled je bil arogantnejši kakor od njegovih tovarišev.
21 I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them,
Pogledal sem in isti rog je začel vojno s svetimi in prevladal zoper njih,
22 Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome.
dokler ni prišel Starodavni in je bila sodba dana svetim Najvišjega in je prišel čas, da so sveti vzeli v last kraljestvo.
23 Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces.
Tako je rekel: ›Četrti zvernik bo četrto kraljestvo na zemlji, ki bo različno od vseh kraljestev in požrlo bo celotno zemljo in jo pomendralo ter jo zlomilo na koščke.
24 And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings,
Deset rogov iz tega kraljestva je deset kraljev, ki bodo vstali in drug bo vstal za njimi. Ta bo različen od prvega in podvrgel bo tri kralje.
25 And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time.
Govoril bo velike besede zoper Najvišjega in izmučil bo svete Najvišjega in mislil, da spremeni čase in postave, oni pa bodo dani v njegovo roko do časa in [dveh] časov in polovice časa.
26 But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende.
F Toda sodba se bo usedla in odvzeli bodo njegovo gospostvo, da použije in da ga uniči do konca.
27 And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him.
Kraljestvo, gospostvo in veličina kraljestva pod celotnim nebom bo dano ljudstvu svetih Najvišjega, katerega kraljestvo je večno kraljestvo in vsa njegova gospostva mu bodo služila in ga ubogala.‹
28 Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.
Do zdaj je konec zadeve. Kar se tiče mene, Daniela, me je moje poglobljeno razmišljanje zelo vznemirilo in moje obličje na meni je bilo spremenjeno, toda zadevo sem obdržal v svojem srcu.‹«
