Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed; then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
Прве године Валтасара, цара вавилонског, усни Данило сан и виде утвару главе своје на постељи; тада написа сан и приповеди укратко.
2 Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven broke forth upon the great sea.
Данило проговори и рече: Видех у утвари својој ноћу, а то четири ветра небеска ударише се на великом мору.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
И четири велике звери изиђоше из мора, свака другачија.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings; I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Прва беше као лав, и имаше крила орлова; гледах докле јој се крила поскубоше и подиже се са земље и стаде на ноге као човек, и срце људско даде јој се.
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was said thus unto it: 'Arise, devour much flesh.'
Потом, гле, друга звер беше као медвед, и стаде с једне стране, и имаше три ребра у устима међу зубима својим, и говораше јој се: Устани, једи много меса.
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the sides of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Потом видех, и гле, друга, као рис, имаше на леђима четири крила као птица, и четири главе имаше звер, и даде јој се власт.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Потом видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, четврта звер, које се требаше бојати, страшна и врло јака, и имаше велике зубе гвоздене, јеђаше и сатираше, и гажаше ногама остатак, и разликоваше се од свих звери пређашњих, и имаше десет рогова.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Гледах рогове, и гле, други мали рог израсте међу онима, а три прва рога ишчупаше се пред њим; и гле, очи као очи човечије беху на том рогу, и уста која говораху велике ствари.
9 I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was as white snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fire.
Гледах докле се поставише престоли, и старац седе, на коме беше одело бело као снег, и коса на глави као чиста вуна, престо Му беше као пламен огњени, точкови Му као огањ разгорео.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Река огњена излажаше и течаше испред Њега, хиљада хиљада служаше Му, и десет хиљада по десет хиљада стајаху пред Њим; суд седе, и књиге се отворише.
11 I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke, I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
Тада гледах ради гласа великих речи које говораше онај рог; и гледах докле не би убијена звер и тело јој се рашчини и даде се да изгори огњем.
12 And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
И осталим зверима узе се власт, јер дужина животу беше им одређена до времена и до рока.
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before Him.
Видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, као Син човечији иђаше са облацима небеским, и дође до старца и стаде пред Њим.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
И даде Му се власт и слава и царство да Му служе сви народи и племена и језици; власт је Његова власт вечна, која неће проћи, и царство се Његово неће расути.
15 As for me Daniel, my spirit was pained in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head affrighted me.
Мени Данилу пренеможе дух мој у телу мом, и утваре главе моје узнемирише ме.
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
Приступих к једном од оних који стајаху онде, и замолих га за истину од свега тога. И проговори ми и каза ми шта то значи:
17 'These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.
Ове четири велике звери јесу четири цара, који ће настати на земљи.
18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.'
Али ће свеци Вишњег преузети царство, и држаће царство на век и довека.
19 Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
Тада зажелех знати истину о четвртој звери, која се разликоваше од свих и беше врло страшна, и имаше зубе гвоздене и нокте бронзане, и јеђаше и сатираше, а остатак ногама гажаше,
20 and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell; even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose appearance was greater than that of its fellows.
И о десет рогова шта јој беху на глави, и о другом који израсте и три отпадоше пред њим, о рогу који имаше очи и уста која говораху велике ствари и беше по виђењу већи од других.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Гледах, и тај рог војеваше са свецима и надвлађиваше их,
22 until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High; and the time came, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
Докле дође старац, и даде се суд свецима Вишњег, и приспе време да свеци преузму царство.
23 Thus he said: 'The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Овако рече: Четврта звер биће четврто царство на земљи, које ће се разликовати од свих царстава, и изјешће сву земљу и погазити и сатрти.
24 And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
И десет рогова јесу десет царева, који ће настати из тог царства, а после њих настаће други, и он ће се разликовати од пређашњих, и покориће три цара.
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
И говориће речи на Вишњег, и потираће свеце Вишњег, и помишљаће да промени времена и законе; и даће му се у руке за време и за времена и за по времена.
26 But the judgment shall sit, and his dominions shall be taken away, to be consumed and to be destroy unto the end.
Потом ће сести суд, и узеће му се власт, те ће се истребити и затрти сасвим.
27 And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'
А царство и власт и величанство царско под свим небом даће се народу светаца Вишњег; Његово ће царство бити вечно царство, и све ће власти Њему служити и слушати Га.
28 Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much affrighted me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.
Овде је крај овој речи. А мене, Данила врло узнемирише мисли моје, и лице ми се све промени; али реч сачувах у срцу свом.
