Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
Prve godine Darija, sina Artakserksova, iz roda Medijaca, koji vladaše kraljevstvom kaldejskim,
2 in the first year of his reign I Daniel meditated in the books, over the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish for the desolations of Jerusalem seventy years.
prve dakle godine njegova kraljevanja, ja, Daniel, istraživah u Pismima broj godina koje se - prema riječi koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji - imaju ispuniti nad ruševinama Jeruzalema: sedamdeset godina.
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Ja obratih svoje lice prema Gospodinu Bogu nastojeći moliti se i zaklinjati u postu, kostrijeti i pepelu.
4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made confession, and said: 'O Lord, the great and awful God, who keepest covenant and mercy with them that love Thee and keep Thy commandments,
Ja se moljah Jahvi, Bogu svome, priznavajući: “Ah, Gospodine moj, Bože veliki i strahoviti, koji čuvaš Savez i naklonost onima koji tebe ljube i čuvaju zapovijedi tvoje!
5 we have sinned, and have dealt iniquitously, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have turned aside from Thy commandments and from Thine ordinances;
Mi sagriješismo, mi bezakonje počinismo, zlo učinismo, odmetnusmo se i udaljismo od zapovijedi i naredaba tvojih.
6 neither have we hearkened unto Thy servants the prophets, that spoke in Thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Nismo slušali sluge tvoje, proroke koji govorahu u tvoje ime našim kraljevima, našim knezovima, našim očevima, svemu puku zemlje.
7 Unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither Thou hast driven them, because they dealt treacherously with Thee.
U tebe je, Gospodine, pravednost, a u nas stid na obrazu, kao u ovaj dan, u nas Judejaca, Jeruzalemaca, svega Izraela, blizu i daleko, u svim zemljama kuda si ih rastjerao zbog nevjernosti kojom ti se iznevjeriše.
8 O LORD, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.
Jahve, stid na obraz nama, našim kraljevima, našim knezovima, našim očevima, jer sagriješismo protiv tebe!
9 To the Lord our God belong compassions and forgivenesses; for we have rebelled against Him;
U Gospoda je Boga našega smilovanje i oproštenje jer smo se odmetnuli od njega
10 neither have we hearkened to the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.
i nismo slušali glas Jahve, Boga našega, da slijedimo njegove zakone što nam ih dade po svojim slugama, prorocima.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed Thy law, and have turned aside, so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and so there hath been poured out upon us the curse and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against Him.
Sav je Izrael prestupio Zakon tvoj, odmetnuo se ne slušajući tvoj glas. Zato se na nas izlila kletva i prokletstvo, kako je zapisano u Zakonu Mojsija, sluge Božjega - jer sagriješismo protiv Njega.
12 And He hath confirmed His word, which He spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
Izvršio je prijetnje kojima je zaprijetio nama i sucima koji su nam sudili: svalio je na nas tešku nesreću te se ne dogodi pod nebom što se dogodi u Jeruzalemu.
13 As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet have we not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in Thy truth.
Sva ova nesreća, kao što je zapisano u Zakonu Mojsijevu, došla je na nas, a mi nismo umilostivili lice Jahve, Boga svojega: nismo se obratili od svojih bezakonja pa da prionemo uz istinu tvoju.
14 And so the LORD hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all His works which He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice.
Jahve je bdio nad nesrećom, on je dovede na nas. Jer je pravedan Jahve, Bog naš, u svim djelima koja učini, a mi nismo slušali glas njegov.
15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought Thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten Thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
A sada, Gospode, Bože naš, koji si moćnom svojom rukom izveo narod svoj iz zemlje egipatske - i time sebi stekao ime koje traje do danas: mi sagriješismo, mi zlo učinismo.
16 O Lord, according to all Thy righteousness, let Thine anger and Thy fury, I pray Thee, be turned away from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
Gospode, po svoj pravednosti svojoj odvrati svoj gnjev i svoju jarost od Jeruzalema, grada svojega, Svete gore svoje, jer zbog naših grijeha i zlodjela naših otaca Jeruzalem i tvoj narod ruglo su svima koji nas okružuju.”
17 Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause Thy face to shine upon Thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
“A sada poslušaj, o Bože naš, molitvu sluge svoga i usrdne molbe njegove. Neka tvoje lice zasja nad svetištem tvojim opustošenim - zbog tebe, Gospode!
18 O my God, incline Thine ear, and hear; open Thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city upon which Thy name is called; for we do not present our supplications before Thee because of our righteousness, but because of Thy great compassions.
Prikloni uho svoje, Bože moj, i slušaj! Otvori oči te pogledaj našu pustoš i grad koji se tvojim zove imenom! Jer mi te ne molimo zbog svoje pravednosti, već zbog velikih smilovanja tvojih.
19 O Lord, hear, O Lord, forgive, O Lord, attend and do, defer not; for Thine own sake, O my God, because Thy name is called upon Thy city and Thy people.'
Gospode, čuj! Gospode, oprosti! Gospode, poslušaj i čini! Ne oklijevaj - zbog sebe, Bože moj, jer se tvojim imenom zove grad tvoj i narod tvoj!”
20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
Ja sam još govorio, moleći se i priznavajući grijehe svoje i grijehe svog naroda Izraela i usrdno zaklinjući Jahvu, svoga Boga, za Svetu goru Boga svoga.
21 yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, approached close to me about the time of the evening offering.
Dok sam dakle ja još govorio moleći se, onaj čovjek Gabriel, koga vidjeh na početku viđenja, doletje u brzu letu, dotače me se u vrijeme večernjeg prinosa
22 And he made me to understand, and talked with me, and said: 'O Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.
i pouči me: “Daniele, evo me: dođoh da te poučim.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications a word went forth, and I am come to declare it; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore look into the word, and understand the vision.
Od početka tvoje molitve izišla je riječ, i ja dođoh da ti je navijestim. Ti si miljenik. Pazi dobro na riječ, razumij viđenje.”
24 Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to forgive iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place.
“Sedamdeset je sedmica određeno tvom narodu i tvom svetom gradu da se dokrajči opačina, da se stavi pečat grijehu, da se zadovolji za bezakonje, da se uvede vječna pravednost, da se stavi pečat viđenju i prorocima, da se pomaže Sveti nad svetima.
25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto one anointed, a prince, shall be seven weeks; and for threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times.
Znaj i razumij: Od časa kad izađe riječ 'Neka se vrate i neka opet sagrade Jeruzalem' pa do Kneza Pomazanika: sedam sedmica, a onda šezdeset i dvije sedmice, i bit će opet sagrađeni trg i opkop, i to u teško vrijeme.
26 And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
A poslije šezdeset i dvije sedmice bit će Pomazanik pogubljen, ali ne za sebe. Narod jednog kneza koji će doći razorit će Grad i Svetište: svršetak im je u propasti, a do svršetka rat i određena pustošenja.
27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and upon the wing of detestable things shall be that which causeth appalment; and that until the extermination wholly determined be poured out upon that which causeth appalment.'
I sklopit će savez s mnogima za jednu sedmicu: a u polovici sedmice prestat će žrtva i prinos: na vrhu Hrama bit će grozota pustoši sve do svršetka, dok se određeno pustošenje ne obori na pustošnika.”
