Daniel 2

1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.

A druge godine carovanja Navuhodonosorova usni Navuhodonosor san, i uznemiri mu se duh i san ga proðe.

2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

I reèe car da dozovu vraèe i zvjezdare i gatare i Haldeje da kažu caru san njegov. I doðoše i staše pred carem.

3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.

I reèe im car: usnih san, i uznemiri mi se duh kako bih doznao što sam snio.

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

A Haldeji rekoše caru Sirski: care, da si živ dovijeka! pripovjedi san slugama svojim, pa æemo ti kazati što znaèi.

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

A car odgovori i reèe Haldejima: zaboravio sam; ako mi ne kažete što sam snio i što znaèi, biæete isjeèeni i kuæe æe vaše biti buništa.

6 But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

Ako li mi kažete što sam snio i što znaèi, dobiæete od mene dare i poklone i veliku èast; kažite mi dakle što sam snio i što znaèi.

7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.

Odgovoriše opet i rekoše: neka car pripovjedi san slugama svojim, pa æemo kazati što znaèi.

8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

Car odgovori i reèe: doista vidim da hoæete vremena da dobijete; jer vidite da sam zaboravio.

9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

Ali ako mi ne kažete što sam snio i što znaèi, jedan vam je sud; jer ste se dogovorili da kažete preda mnom laž i prijevaru dok se promijeni vrijeme; zato kažite mi san, pa æu vidjeti da mi možete kazati što znaèi.

10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, master, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

Odgovoriše Haldeji caru i rekoše: nema èovjeka na zemlji koji bi mogao kazati caru to što ište; zato nijedan car ni knez ni vlastelin nije nigda iskao tako što od vraèa ili zvjezdara ili Haldejca.

11 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the elohim, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

I što car ište vrlo je teško; niti ima drugoga koji bi mogao kazati caru osim bogova, koji ne žive meðu ljudima.

12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

Zato se car razljuti i razgnjevi vrlo, i zapovjedi da se pogube svi mudarci Vavilonski.

13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.

I kad izide zapovijest, te ubijahu mudarce, tražahu i Danila i drugove njegove da ih ubiju.

14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

Tada Danilo odgovori mudro i razumno Ariohu zapovjedniku stražarskom, koji bijaše izašao da ubija mudarce Vavilonske;

15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

Odgovori i reèe Ariohu vlastelinu carevu: zašto je tako nagla zapovijest od cara? Tada Arioh kaza stvar Danilu.

16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.

A Danilo otide i zamoli cara da mu ostavi vremena, pak æe kazati caru što san znaèi.

17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

Potom otide Danilo kuæi svojoj, i kaza stvar Ananiji, Misailu i Azariji, drugovima svojim,

18 That they would desire mercies of the Elohim of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Da se mole za milost Bogu nebeskomu radi te tajne, da ne bi poginuli Danilo i drugovi mu s ostalijem mudarcima Vavilonskim.

19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the Elohim of heaven.

I objavi se tajna Danilu u noænoj utvari; tada Danilo blagoslovi Boga nebeskoga.

20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of Elohim for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

Progovori Danilo i reèe: da je blagosloveno ime Gospodnje od vijeka do vijeka; jer je njegova mudrost i sila;

21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

I on mijenja vremena i èase; smeæe careve, i postavlja careve; daje mudrost mudrima i razum razumnima.

22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

On otkriva što je duboko i sakriveno, zna što je u mraku, i svjetlost kod njega stanuje.

23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou Elohim of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

Tebe, Bože otaca mojih, hvalim i slavim, što si mi dao mudrost i silu, i što si mi objavio za što te molismo objaviv nam stvar carevu.

24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.

Tada otide Danilo k Ariohu, kojega car bješe odredio da pogubi mudarce Vavilonske; i došav ovako mu reèe: ne gubi mudaraca Vavilonskih; izvedi me pred cara da kažem caru što san znaèi.

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

Tada Arioh brže izvede Danila pred cara, i ovako mu reèe: naðoh èovjeka izmeðu roblja Judina, koji æe kazati caru što san znaèi.

26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

A car progovori i reèe Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar: možeš li mi kazati san koji sam snio i što znaèi?

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;

Odgovori Danilo caru i reèe: tajne koje car ište ne mogu kazati caru mudarci ni zvjezdari ni vraèi ni gatari.

28 But there is an Elohim in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

Nego ima Bog na nebu koji otkriva tajne i javlja caru Navuhodonosoru što æe biti do pošljetka. San tvoj i što ti je vidjela glava na postelji tvojoj ovo je:

29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.

Tebi, care, doðoše misli na postelji što æe biti poslije, i onaj koji objavljuje tajne pokaza ti što æe biti.

30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.

A meni se ova tajna nije objavila mudrošæu koja bi u mene bila mimo sve žive, nego zato da se javi caru što san znaèi i da doznaš misli srca svojega.

31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

Ti, care, vidje a to lik velik; velik bijaše lik i svjetlost mu silna, i stajaše prema tebi, i strašan bijaše na oèima.

32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

Glava tome liku bijaše od èistoga zlata, prsi i mišice od srebra, trbuh i bedra od mjedi,

33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

Golijeni mu od gvožða, a stopala koje od gvožða koje od zemlje.

34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

Ti gledaše dokle se odvali kamen bez ruku, i udari lik u stopala mjedena i zemljana, i satr ih.

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Tada se satr i gvožðe i zemlja i mjed i srebro i zlato, i posta kao pljeva na gumnu u ljeto, te odnese vjetar, i ne naðe mu se mjesto; a kamen, koji udari lik, posta gora velika i ispuni svu zemlju.

36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

To je san; a sada æemo kazati caru što znaèi.

37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the Elohim of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

Ti si, care, car nad carevima, jer ti Bog nebeski dade carstvo, silu i krjepost i slavu;

38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

I gdje god žive sinovi ljudski, zvijeri poljske i ptice nebeske, dao ti je u ruke, i postavio te gospodarem nad svijem tijem. Ti si ona glava zlatna.

39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

A nakon tebe nastaæe drugo carstvo, manje od tvojega; a potom treæe carstvo, mjedeno, koje æe vladati po svoj zemlji.

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

A èetvrto æe carstvo biti tvrdo kao gvožðe, jer gvožðe satire i troši sve, i kao gvožðe što sve lomi, tako æe satrti i polomiti.

41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

A što si vidio stopala i prste koje od kala lonèarskoga koje od gvožða, biæe carstvo razdijeljeno, ali æe biti u njemu tvrðe od gvožða, jer si vidio gvožðe pomiješano s kalom lonèarskim.

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

I što prsti u nogu bijahu koje od gvožða koje od kala, carstvo æe biti nešto jako a nešto trošno.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

A što si vidio gvožðe pomiješano sa kalom lonèarskim, to æe se oni pomiješati sjemenom èovjeèijim, ali neæe prionuti jedan za drugoga kao što se gvožðe ne može smiješati s kalom.

44 And in the days of these kings shall the Elohim of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

A u vrijeme tijeh careva Bog æe nebeski podignuti carstvo koje se dovijeka neæe rasuti, i to se carstvo neæe ostaviti drugom narodu; ono æe satrti i ukinuti sva ta carstva, a samo æe stajati dovijeka,

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great Elohim hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Kako si vidio gdje se od gore odvali kamen bez ruku i satr gvožðe, mjed, kao, srebro i zlato. Bog veliki javi caru što æe biti poslije; san je istinit, i tumaèenje mu vjerno.

46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.

Tada car Navuhodonosor pade na lice svoje, i pokloni se Danilu, i zapovjedi da mu prinesu prinos i kad.

47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your Elohim is an Elohim of elohim, and a master of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

Car progovori Danilu i reèe: doista, vaš je Bog Bog nad bogovima i gospodar nad carevima, i koji objavljuje tajne, kad si mogao otkriti ovu tajnu.

48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

Tada car uzvisi Danila, i dade mu mnoge velike darove i uèini ga gospodarem svoj zemlji Vavilonskoj i poglavarem nad svijem mudarcima Vavilonskim.

49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

I Danilo izmoli u cara, te postavi nad poslovima zemlje Vavilonske Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, a Danilo osta na dvoru carevu.
