Daniel 8

1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

Treæe godine carovanja Valtasarova pokaza se meni Danilu utvara poslije one koja mi se pokazala prije.

2 And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai.

I vidjeh u utvari; a bjeh u Susanu u gradu koji je u zemlji Elamu, kad vidjeh, i vidjeh u utvari i bjeh na vodi Ulaju.

3 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the stream a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

I podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, stajaše kraj vode ovan, koji imaše dva roga, a rogovi bjehu visoki, ali jedan viši od drugoga, i viši naraste poslije.

4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

Vidjeh ovna gdje bode na zapad i na sjever i na jug, i nijedna zvijer ne mogaše mu odoljeti, i ne bijaše nikoga ko bi izbavio od njega, nego èinjaše što hoæaše, i osili.

5 And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

A kad ja motrah, gle, iðaše jarac od zapada povrh sve zemlje a ne doticaše se zemlje; i taj jarac imaše rog znamenit meðu oèima svojim.

6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his power.

I doðe do ovna koji imaše dva roga, kojega vidjeh gdje stoji kraj vode, i potrèa na nj gnjevno silom svojom.

7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

I vidjeh ga gdje doðe do ovna, i razgnjeviv se na nj udari ovna, te mu slomi oba roga i ne bješe sile u ovnu da mu odoli, nego ga obori na zemlju i pogazi ga, i ne bješe nikoga da izbavi ovna od njega.

8 And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven.

I jarac posta vrlo velik; a kad osili, slomi se veliki rog, i mjesto njega narastoše znamenita èetiri roga prema èetiri vjetra nebeska.

9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous land.

I iz jednoga njih izide jedan rog malen i naraste vrlo velik prema jugu i istoku i prema krasnoj zemlji.

10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.

I naraste dori do vojske nebeske, i obori na zemlju neke od vojske i od zvijezda, i pogazi ih.

11 Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

I naraste dori do poglavara toj vojsci, i uze mu svagdašnju žrtvu, i sveti stan njegov obori.

12 And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered.

I vojska bi dana u otpad od žrtve svagdašnje, i obori istinu na zemlju, i što èinjaše napredovaše mu.

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'

Tada èuh jednoga sveca gdje govoraše, i jedan svetac reèe nekome koji govoraše: dokle æe trajati ta utvara za svagdašnju žrtvu i za otpad pustošni da se gazi svetinja i vojska?

14 And he said unto me: 'Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.'

I reèe mi: do dvije tisuæe i tri stotine dana i noæi; onda æe se svetinja oèistiti.

15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

A kad vidjeh ja Danilo ovu utvaru, i zaiskah da razumijem, gle, stade preda me kao èovjek.

16 And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'

I èuh glas èovjeèji nasred Ulaja, koji povika i reèe: Gavrilo, kaži ovome utvaru.

17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face; but he said unto me: 'Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.'

I doðe gdje ja stajah; i kad doðe uplaših se, i padoh na lice svoje; a on mi reèe: pazi, sine èovjeèji, jer je ova utvara za pošljednje vrijeme.

18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.

A dok mi on govoraše, ja bijah izvan sebe ležeæi nièice na zemlji; a on me se dotaèe, i ispravi me, te stadoh.

19 And he said: 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.

I reèe: evo, ja æu ti kazati šta æe biti na kraju gnjeva; jer æe u odreðeno vrijeme biti kraj.

20 The ram which thou sawest having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

Ovan što si ga vidio, koji ima dva roga, to su carevi Midski i Persijski.

21 And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

A runjavi je jarac car Grèki; i veliki rog što mu bješe meðu oèima, to je prvi car.

22 And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

A što se on slomi, i mjesto njega narastoše èetiri, to su èetiri carstva, koja æe nastati iza toga naroda, ali ne s njegovom silom.

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.

A na pošljedak carovanja njihova, kad bezakonici navrše mjeru, nastaæe car bestidan i lukav.

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints.

Sila æe mu biti jaka, ali ne od njegove jaèine, i èudesno æe pustošiti, i biæe sreæan i svršivaæe, i gubiæe silne i narod sveti.

25 And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

I lukavstvom njegovijem napredovaæe prijevara u njegovoj ruci, i podignuæe se u srcu svom, i u miru æe pogubiti mnoge, i ustaæe na kneza nad knezovima, ali æe se potrti bez ruke.

26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true; but thou, shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.'

A reèena utvara o danu i noæi istina je; zato ti zapeèati utvaru, jer je za mnogo vremena.

27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.

Tada ja Danilo zanemogoh, i bolovah neko vrijeme; poslije ustah i vrših poslove careve; i èudih se utvari, ali niko ne dozna.
