Daniel 11
1 And I in the first year of Darius the Mede had my station to assist and to protect him.
moje potpore i moga okrilja.
2 And now will I tell thee the truth. Behold, there will stand up yet three kings of Persia: and the fourth will obtain far greater riches than all [these]: and when he is strong through his riches will he stir up all, [namely, ] the kingdom of Javan.
A sada ću ti otkriti istinu. Evo: još će tri kralja ustati za Perziju: četvrti će biti bogatiji od svih ostalih, pa kad se zbog svoga bogatstva osili, sve će podići protiv kraljevstva grčkoga.
3 And then will stand up a mighty king, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his pleasure.
Ustat će junački kralj, vladat će silnom moću i činiti što ga bude volja.
4 And when he shall have stood, his kingdom will be broken, and will be divided toward the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled; for his kingdom will be torn asunder even for others beside those.
A čim se ustane, njegovo će se kraljevstvo raspasti i bit će razdijeljeno na četiri vjetra nebeska, ali ne među njegove potomke; i neće više biti tako moćno kao za njegove vladavine, jer će njegovo kraljevstvo biti razoreno i predano drugima, a ne njima.
5 And the king of the south will become strong, yea, he who is one of his princes; but [another] will become strong against him, and will rule: a great dominion will his dominion be.
Kralj će Juga postati moćan; jedan će od njegovih zapovjednika biti moćniji od njega i zavladat će većom moću nego što je njegova.
6 But at the end of [some] years will they associate themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make a settlement of difficulties; but she will not retain the power of the support; neither will he stand, nor his support: but she will be given up with those that had brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.
Nekoliko godina kasnije oni će se udružiti, a kći kralja Juga doći će kralju Sjevera da sklope ugovor. Ali ona tim neće sačuvati snagu svoje mišice i njezino se potomstvo neće održati: bit će predana ona, i njezina pratnja, i njezino dijete, i njezin pomagač u tim vremenima.
7 But there will up a sprout of her roots in his place, and he will come to the army, and will enter into the stronghold of the king of the north, and will deal with them, and prevail:
No jedan će se izdanak njezina korijena podići na njezino mjesto, navalit će na vojsku, prodrijet će u tvrđavu kralja Sjevera, postupati s njima po miloj volji i pobijediti ih.
8 And also their gods with their molten images, with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, will he carry into captivity to Egypt; and he will stand off some years from the king of the north.
Pa i njihove bogove, njihove kipove i njihovo dragocjeno suđe, srebrno i zlatno, odnijet će kao plijen u Egipat. Nekoliko godina bit će jači od kralja Sjevera,
9 But this one will then enter the kingdom of the king of the south, and then return into his own land.
koji će onda prodrijeti u kraljevstvo kralja Juga, odakle će se vratiti u svoju zemlju.
10 But his sons will commence a war, and assemble a multitude of great armies; and one will certainly enter, and overflow, and pass along: then will he return, and make war again, even to his stronghold.
Ali će se onda njegovi sinovi naoružati, skupit će silnu vojsku, odlučno će navaliti i poput poplave proći, zatim će se opet zametnuti rat sve do njegove utvrde.
11 And the king of the south will be moved with bitter wrath, and go forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he will set forth a great multitude; but the multitude [of the other] will be given up into his hand.
Tada će se kralj Juga razgnjeviti i zavojštiti na kralja Sjevera; podići će silnu vojsku i nadvladati vojsku njegovu.
12 And the multitude will be lifted up, and his heart will become proud; and he will cast down myriads; but he will not be strengthened by it.
Mnoštvo će biti uništeno, a on će se zbog toga uzoholiti; pobit će desetke tisuća, ali se neće održati:
13 And the king of the north will return, and set forth a multitude greater than the former; and at the end of the times, of years, will he certainly come with a great army and with much riches.
kralj će Sjevera opet dići vojsku veću nego prije, i poslije nekoliko godina navalit će s velikom, dobro opremljenom vojskom.
14 And in those times many will stand up against the king of the south: also the rebellious sons of thy people will lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they will stumble.
U to vrijeme mnogi će se podići protiv kralja Juga; ustat će i nasilnici iz tvog naroda da se ispuni viđenje, ali će propasti.
15 And the king of the north will come, and cast up a mound, and capture the city defended by fortifications: and the arms of the south will not withstand, and as regardeth his chosen people, there will be no power [in them] to withstand.
Doći će kralj Sjevera: podići će nasipe da zauzme jedan utvrđeni grad. Mišice Juga neće odoljeti, pa ni izabrane čete neće imati snage da se odupru.
16 But he that cometh against them will do according to his pleasure, and none will stand before him; and he will place himself in the glorious land, which will be altogether in his hand.
Onaj će navaliti protiv njega i učinit će s njime kako mu se prohtije - nitko mu se neće oprijeti: zaustavit će se u Divoti, uništenje je u njegovim rukama.
17 He will also direct his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, having professions of peace with him; and thus will he do it: and he will give him the daughter of his wife to destroy it: but it will not stand, and it will not remain his.
Čvrsto odlučivši da se pošto-poto domogne svega njegova kraljevstva, sklopit će s njim ugovor dajući mu jednu kćer za ženu da ga upropasti, ali mu neće uspjeti, neće se to zbiti.
18 And he will direct his face unto the isles, and capture many; but a chieftain will cause to cease his reproach against him: without his giving back to him his own reproach.
Zatim će se okrenuti prema otocima i mnoge će osvojiti, ali će jedan zapovjednik dokrajčiti tu sramotu, sramotu mu sramotom vratiti.
19 Then will he direct his face toward the strong-holds of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and will no more be found.
Brže će nagnuti prema utvrdama svoje zemlje, ali će posrnuti, pasti, više ga neće biti.
20 And there will stand up in his place one who will cause the exactor [of taxes] to pass through the glorious [land] of the kingdom; but within a few days will he be broken, but not in anger, nor in battle.
Na njegovo će mjesto doći jedan koji će u diku kraljevstva poslati poreznika, ali će u kratko vrijeme poginuti bez gnjeva i boja.
21 And there will stand up in his place a despicable person, to whom they assigned not the honor of the kingdom; but he will come in quietly, and lay hold of the kingdom by flatteries.
Na njegovo će se mjesto uzdići nitkov kome ne pripada kraljevska čast. Ali on će iznenada doći i spletkama se domoći kraljevstva.
22 And the powers of the overflow will be swept away from before him, and will be broken: yea, so also the prince in covenant [with him].
Pred njim će biti preplavljene i skršene navalne snage i sam knez Saveza.
23 And from the time of his associating with him will he deal deceitfully; and he will come up, and obtain the victory with a small number of people.
Unatoč sporazumu s njime, izdajnički će navaliti i svladati ga s malo ljudi.
24 In quiet and into the fattest portion of the province will he enter; and he will do what his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers: the prey, and spoil, and riches will he divide freely to them, and against the strong-holds will he devise his plans, but only till a certain time.
Iznenada će upasti u bogate pokrajine i postupat će kako nisu postupali njegovi očevi ni očevi njegovih otaca, rasipajući među svoje plijen, pljačku i bogatstvo, smišljat će osnove protiv tvrdih gradova, ali samo za neko vrijeme.
25 And he will then stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army: and the king of the south will prepare himself for the war with an exceedingly great and mighty army; but he will not stand; for they will devise [evil] plans against him.
Pokrenut će, s velikom vojskom, svoju snagu i hrabrost protiv kralja Juga. Kralj Juga krenut će u rat s mnogom i moćnom vojskom, ali neće izdržati, jer će se protiv njega skovati spletke.
26 Yea, they that eat of his food will bring his downfall, and the army of the other will overflow; and many will fall down slain.
I oni koji jeđahu za njegovim stolom skršit će ga: njegova će vojska biti uništena i mnogi će posječeni popadati.
27 And as for both these kings, their heart is bent on mischief, and at one table will they speak lies; but it shall not prosper; for the end is yet for the time appointed.
Oba će kralja smišljati zlo; sjedeći za istim stolom, govorit će laži jedan drugome: ali neće uspjeti, jer je svršetak odložen do određenog vremena.
28 Then will he return into his land with great riches, and his heart will be against the holy covenant: and he will do it, and return to his own land.
Vratit će se on u svoju zemlju s velikim blagom; srcem protiv svetoga Saveza, učinit će svoje i vratiti se u svoju zemlju.
29 At the time appointed will he return, and enter into the south; but not as in the former will it be in the latter time.
U određeno vrijeme opet će krenuti protiv Juga, ali sada neće biti kao prvi put.
30 For there will come against him the ships of Kittim; and he will become faint-hearted, and return, and will rage against the holy covenant; and he will do it: and he will return, and have an understanding with those that forsake the holy covenant.
Kitimski će brodovi navaliti na njega, i on će se uplašiti. Vratit će se, bjesnjeti protiv svetoga Saveza i opet će se sporazumjeti s onima koji napustiše sveti Savez.
31 And the army divisions will proceed from him, and they will defile the sanctuary, the fortress, and remove the continual sacrifice, and they will set up the desolating abomination.
Čete će njegove doći i oskvrnuti svetište-tvrđu, dokinut' svagdašnju žrtvu i ondje postaviti grozotu pustoši.
32 And such as act wickedly against the covenant will he corrupt by flatteries; but the people that do know their God will be strong, and deal [valiantly].
Svojim će spletkama navesti na otpad one koji se ogrešuju o Savez, ali ljudi koji ljube Boga ostat će postojani i vršit će svoje.
33 And the intelligent among the people will impart understanding to many: yet they will stumble through the sword, and through flame, through captivity, and through being plundered for some time.
Umnici u narodu poučavat će mnoštvo, ali će ih jedno vrijeme zatirati mačem i ognjem, izgnanstvom i pljačkanjem.
34 But in their stumbling will they be aided with a little help: but many will join themselves to them with deceptive flatteries.
Dok ih budu zatirali, samo će im nekolicina pomagati, a mnogi će im se pridružiti prijevarno.
35 And some of the intelligent will stumble, to make a purification among them, and to select and to cleanse them, until the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.
Od umnika neki će pasti, da se prokušaju, probrani, čisti do vremena svršetka, jer još nije došlo određeno vrijeme.
36 And the king will do according to his pleasure; and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and against the God of gods will he speak incredible things, and he will prosper till the indignation be at an end; for that which is determined will be accomplished.
Kralj će raditi što god mu se prohtije, uznoseći i uzdižući sebe iznad svih bogova: protiv Boga nad bogovima govorit će hule i uspijevat će dok se gnjev ne navrši - jer ono što je određeno, to će se ispuniti.
37 And to the gods of his fathers will he pay no regard; and to the desire of women, or to any god whatever will he not pay any regard; for above all will he magnify himself.
Neće mariti za bogove svojih otaca ni za Miljenika ženÄa niti za kojega drugog boga: samog će sebe izdizati iznad sviju.
38 But in his place he will pay honor to the god of the fortresses; and to a god whom his fathers knew not will he pay honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and costly things.
Mjesto njih častit će boga tvrđava, boga koga nisu poznavali njegovi očevi, častiti ga zlatom i srebrom, dragim kamenjem i drugim dragocjenostima.
39 This will he do for the very strong fortresses together with the strange god: whoever will acknowledge him, him will he give much honor; and he will cause such to rule over many, and he will divide out the land for a price.
Navalit će na tvrđave gradova pomoću stranog boga: one koji njega priznaju obasut će počastima i dat će im vlast nad mnoštvom i dijelit će im zemlju za nagradu.
40 And at the time of the end will the king of the south push against him; and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he will enter into some countries, and will overflow and press along.
U vrijeme svršetka kralj će se Juga zaratiti s njime; kralj će Sjevera navaliti na nj svojim kolima, svojim konjanicima i svojim mnogim brodovima. Provalit će u zemlje i proći njima poput poplave.
41 And he will enter into the glorious land, and much will be overthrown; but these will escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the first portion of the children of 'Ammon.
Prodrijet će u Divotu i mnogi će pasti. Njegovim će rukama izmaći Edom i Moab i glavnina sinova Amonovih.
42 And he will stretch forth his hand against some countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape.
Pružit će svoju ruku za zemljama: Egipat mu neće izmaći.
43 And he will have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the costly things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow at his steps.
On će se domoći zlatnog i srebrnog blaga i svih dragocjenosti Egipta. Pratit će ga Libijci i Etiopljani.
44 But reports out of the east and out of the north will terrify him; and he will go forth with great fury to destroy, and to exterminate many.
Ali će ga uznemiriti vijesti s istoka i sa sjevera te će poći vrlo gnjevan da uništi i zatre mnoštvo.
45 And he will pitch the tents of his palace between seas and the glorious holy mountain; and he will come to his end, without one to help him.
Postavit će svoje dvorske šatore između mora i Svete gore Divote. Ali će i njemu doći kraj, i nitko mu neće pomoći.
