Daniel 9
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Achashverosh, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom 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 searched in the books for understanding concerning the number of the years whereof the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would let pass full seventy years over the ruins of Jerusalem.
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 directed my face unto the Lord God, to ask by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and in 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 my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepeth the covenant and kindness to those that love him, and to those that keep his 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 committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have departed from thy commandments and from thy ordinances;
Mi sagriješismo, mi bezakonje počinismo, zlo učinismo, odmetnusmo se i udaljismo od zapovijedi i naredaba tvojih.
6 Nor have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, who 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 Thine, O Lord, is the righteousness, but unto us belongeth the shame of face, as it is this day, —to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, those that are near, and those that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass which they have trespassed against 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 the shame 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 mercies and pardonings; for we have rebelled against him;
U Gospoda je Boga našega smilovanje i oproštenje jer smo se odmetnuli od njega
10 And we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us through means of 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 departed so as not to obey thy voice: therefore was poured out over us the curse, with the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God; because we had 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 accomplished his words, which he had spoken concerning us, and concerning our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil, which was never done under the whole heaven as it hath been done in 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 came over us: yet offered we not any entreaty before the Lord our God, to return from our iniquities, and to become intelligent 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 Therefore did the Lord watch over the evil, and he brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is righteous because of all his deeds which he hath done; but we have not obeyed 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, who hast brought forth thy people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and hast made thyself a [great] name, as it is 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, I beseech thee, let thy anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; because through our sins, and through the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all who are round 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 And now listen, O our God, to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary which is desolate, for the sake of the Lord.
“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 Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear; open thy eyes, and look on our desolations, and the city whereupon thy name is called: for not [relying] on our acts of righteousness do we present humbly our supplications before thee, but [relying] on thy great mercies.
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, hearken and do it; delay it not; for thy own sake, O my God; for thy name is called upon thy city and upon 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 yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication humbly before the Lord my God because of 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 yet speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came, flying swiftly, near me about the time of the evening oblation.
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 gave me understanding, and spoke with me, and said, O Daniel, now am I come forth to make thee intelligent with understanding.
i pouči me: “Daniele, evo me: dođoh da te poučim.
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the word went forth, and I am come to tell it; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and have understanding of the appearance.
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 determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to close up the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy thing.
“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 comprehend, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed the prince will be seven weeks: and during sixty and two weeks will it be again built with streets and ditches [around it], even in the pressure of the 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 sixty and two weeks will an anointed one be cut off without a successor to follow him: and the city and the sanctuary will the people of the prince that is coming destroy; but his end will come in a violent overthrow; but until the end of the war devastations are decreed [against it].
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 will make a strong covenant with the many for one week; and in the half of the week will he cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and this because of the prevalence of the abominations which bringeth devastation, and until destruction and what is decreed shall be poured out upon the waster.
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.”
