Daniel 2
1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar has dreamed dreams, and his spirit moves itself, and his sleep has been against him;
Druge godine Nabukodonozorova kraljevanja usni Nabukodonozor sanje: njegov se duh zbog toga uznemiri, a san ga ostavi.
2 and the king says to call for enchanters, and for conjurers, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;
Kralj naredi da se pozovu čarobnici i gataoci, zaklinjači i zvjezdari da protumače kralju njegove sanje.
3 and the king says to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is moved to know the dream.”
Dođoše dakle te stadoše pred kralja. Kralj im reče: “Usnih jednu sanju i moj se duh uznemiri od želje da razumijem sanju.”
4 And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaic, “O king, live for all ages, tell the dream to your servants, and we show the interpretation.”
Kaldejci odgovoriše kralju (aramejski): “O kralju, živ bio dovijeka! Pripovjedi svoju sanju slugama svojim, a mi ćemo ti otkriti njezino značenje.”
5 The king has answered and said to the Chaldeans, “The thing is gone from me; if you do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, you are made pieces, and your houses are made dunghills;
Kralj odgovori i reče zvjezdarima: “Moja je odluka neopoziva: ako mi ne kažete što sam snio i što san znači, bit ćete rastrgani u komade, a vaše će kuće postati smetišta.
6 and if the dream and its interpretation you show, gifts, and fee, and great glory you receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation you show me.”
No ako mi otkrijete moju sanju i njezino značenje, dobit ćete od mene darove i poklone i velike časti. Otkrijte mi dakle što sam snio i što san znači.”
7 They have answered a second time, and are saying, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we show the interpretation.”
Oni opet odgovoriše: “Neka kralj rekne svoju sanju slugama svojim, a mi ćemo mu otkriti njezino značenje.”
8 The king has answered and said, “Of a truth I know that you are gaining time, because that you have seen that the thing is gone from me,
A kralj: “Dobro ja znam da želite dobiti na vremenu jer znate da je moja odluka neopoziva.
9 [so] that, if you do not cause me to know the dream—one is your sentence, seeing a lying and corrupt word you have prepared to speak before me, until the time is changed, therefore tell the dream to me, then I know that you show me its interpretation.”
Ako mi ne kažete što sam snio, znači da me namjeravate obmanjivati varavim riječima i izmišljotinama dok nekako ne prođe vrijeme. Stoga, recite mi moj san, pa ću znati da li mi možete kazati i njegovo značenje!”
10 The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, “There is not a man on the earth who is able to show the king’s matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, has asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;
Zvjezdari odgovoriše pred kraljem: “Nema na svijetu čovjeka koji bi takvo što mogao otkriti kralju. I stoga nijedan kralj, ma kako velik i moćan, takvo što ne traži od čarobnika, gataoca ili zvjezdara.
11 and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and there are no others that show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
Što tražiš, kralju, teško je, i nema ga tko bi to mogao otkriti kralju osim bogova, koji ne borave među smrtnicima.”
12 Therefore the king has been furious and very angry, and has said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Tada se kralj silno razgnjevi i razbjesni te naredi da se pogube svi mudraci babilonski.
13 And the sentence has gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
Pošto je objavljena naredba da se ubiju mudraci, potražiše i Daniela i njegove drugove da ih pogube.
14 Then Daniel has replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who has gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.
No Daniel se mudrim i umnim riječima obrati na Arjoka, zapovjednika kraljevskih straža, koji bijaše izišao da pogubi mudrace babilonske.
15 He has answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?” Then Arioch has made the thing known to Daniel,
On reče Arjoku, zapovjedniku kraljevu: “Zašto je kralj izdao tako strogu naredbu?” Arjok pripovjedi Danielu,
16 and Daniel has gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to show the interpretation to the king.
a Daniel otiđe kralju i zamoli da mu dade vremena te će kralju otkriti što san znači.
17 Then Daniel has gone to his house, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he has made the thing known,
Daniel uđe u svoju kuću te sve kaza Hananiji, Mišaelu i Azarji, svojim drugovima,
18 and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they do not destroy Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
da mole milosrđe u Boga Nebeskoga radi te tajne, da Daniel i njegovi drugovi ne poginu s drugim mudracima babilonskim.
19 Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret has been revealed. Then Daniel has blessed the God of the heavens.
I objavi se tajna Danielu u noćnom viđenju. A Daniel blagoslovi Boga Nebeskoga.
20 Daniel has answered and said, “Let the Name of God be blessed from age even to age, for wisdom and might—for they are His.
Daniel prihvati riječ i reče: “Bilo ime Božje blagoslovljeno odvijeka dovijeka, njegova je mudrost i sila.
21 And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.
On mijenja doba i vremena, ruši i postavlja kraljeve, daje mudrost mudrima a znanje pronicavima.
22 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He has known what [is] in darkness, and light has dwelt with Him.
On otkriva dubine i tajne, zna što je u tminama i svjetlost prebiva u njega.
23 You, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might You have given to me; and now, You have caused me to know that which we have sought from You, for the king’s matter You have caused us to know.”
Tebe, o Bože otaca mojih, slavim i hvalim što si mi dao mudrost i jakost! Evo, objavio si mi ono što smo te molili, objavio si nam što kralj traži.”
24 Therefore Daniel has gone up to Arioch, whom the king has appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he has gone, and thus has said to him, “You do not destroy the wise men of Babylon, bring me up before the king, and I show the interpretation to the king.”
Daniel ode k Arjoku, kome bijaše kralj naredio da smakne mudrace babilonske. Uđe i reče mu: “Ne ubijaj mudraca babilonskih! Odvedi me kralju, pa ću mu otkriti što san znači.”
25 Then Arioch in haste has brought up Daniel before the king, and thus has said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, who makes known the interpretation to the king.”
Arjok žurno odvede Daniela kralju i reče: “Našao sam među izgnanicima judejskim čovjeka koji će kralju kazati što san znači.”
26 The king has answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, “Are you able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?”
Kralj reče Danielu (koji se zvaše Baltazar): “Jesi li kadar kazati mi san koji sam usnio i što znači?”
27 Daniel has answered before the king and said, “The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to show to the king;
Daniel odgovori pred kraljem: “Tajnu koju istražuje kralj ne mogahu kralju otkriti mudraci, čarobnici, gataoci i zaklinjači;
28 but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
ali ima na nebu Bog koji objavljuje tajne i on je saopćio kralju Nabukodonozoru ono što će biti na svršetku dana. Evo tvoje sanje i onoga što ti se prividjelo na postelji:
29 You, O king, your thoughts on your bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets has caused you to know that which [is] to be.
O kralju, na tvojoj ti postelji dođoše misli o tome što će se dogoditi kasnije, a Otkrivatelj tajna saopćio ti je ono što će biti.
30 As for me—not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living has this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of your heart you know.
Iako nemam mudrosti više nego ostali smrtnici, ta mi je tajna objavljena samo zato da njezino značenje saopćim kralju i da upoznaš misli svoga srca.
31 You, O king, were looking, and behold, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing before you, and its appearance [is] terrible.
Ti si, o kralju, imao viđenje: gle, kip, golem kip, vrlo blistav, stajaše pred tobom, strašan za oči.
32 This image! Its head [is] of fine gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze;
Tome kipu glava bijaše od čistog zlata, prsa i ruke od srebra, trbuh i bedra od mjedi,
33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.
gnjati od željeza, a stopala dijelom od željeza, dijelom od gline.
34 You were looking until a stone has been cut out without hands, and it has struck the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it has broken them small;
Ti si promatrao: iznenada se odvali kamen a da ga ne dodirnu ruka, pa udari u kip, u stopala od željeza i gline te ih razbi.
35 then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and the wind has carried them away, and no place has been found for them: and the stone that struck the image has become a great mountain, and has filled all the land.
Tada se smrvi najednom željezo i glina, mjed, srebro i zlato, i sve postade kao pljeva na gumnu ljeti i vjetar sve odnese bez traga. A kamen koji bijaše u kip udario postade veliko brdo te napuni svu zemlju.
36 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we tell before the king.
To bijaše sanja; a njezino ćemo značenje reći pred kraljem.”
37 You, O king, are a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, has given to you;
“Ti, o kralju, kralju kraljeva, komu Bog Nebeski dade kraljevstvo, silu moć i slavu -
38 and wherever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the bird of the heavens, He has given into your hand, and has caused you to rule over them all; you [are] this head of gold.
i u čije je ruke stavio, gdje god se našli, sinove ljudske, životinje poljske, ptice nebeske i postavio te gospodarom nad svim time - ti si glava od zlata.
39 And after you another kingdom arises lower than those, and another third kingdom of bronze, that rules over all the earth.
Poslije tebe ustat će drugo kraljevstvo, slabije od tvoga, pa treće, od mjedi, koje će gospodariti svom zemljom.
40 And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beats small and breaks.
A četvrto kraljevstvo bit će tvrdo poput željeza, poput željeza koje sve satire i mrvi; kao željezo koje razbija, skršit će i razbit sva ona kraljevstva.
41 As for that which you have seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter’s clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that you have seen the iron mixed with miry clay.
Stopala koja si vidio, dijelom glina a dijelom željezo, jesu podijeljeno kraljevstvo; imat će nešto od čvrstoće željeza prema onome što si vidio željezo izmiješano s glinom.
42 As for the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.
Prsti stopala, dijelom željezo a dijelom glina: kraljevstvo će biti dijelom čvrsto a dijelom krhko.
43 Because you have seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering with one another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
A što si vidio željezo izmiješano s glinom: oni će se miješati ljudskim sjemenom, ali se neće držati zajedno, kao što se ni željezo ne da pomiješati s glinom.
44 And in the days of these kings the God of the heavens raises up a kingdom that is not destroyed for all time, and its kingdom is not left to another people: it beats small and ends all these kingdoms, and it stands for all time.
U vrijeme ovih kraljeva Bog Nebeski podići će kraljevstvo koje neće nikada propasti i neće prijeći na neki drugi narod. Ono će razbiti i uništiti sva ona kraljevstva, a samo će stajati dovijeka -
45 Because that you have seen that out of the mountain a stone has been cut without hands, and it has beaten the iron small, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation steadfast.”
kao što si vidio da se kamen s brijega odvalio a da ga ne dodirnu ruka te smrvio željezo, mjed, glinu, srebro i zlato. Veliki je Bog saopćio kralju što se ima dogoditi. Sanja je istinita, a tumačenje joj pouzdano.”
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar has fallen on his face, and to Daniel he has done homage, and present, and sweet things, he has said to pour out to him.
Nato kralj Nabukodonozor pade ničice i pokloni se pred Danielom. Naredi da mu prinesu dar i kad.
47 The king has answered Daniel and said, “Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”
I reče kralj Danielu: “Zaista, vaš je bog Bog nad bogovima i gospodar nad kraljevima, Otkrivatelj tajna, kad si mogao otkriti ovu tajnu.”
48 Then the king has made Daniel great, and many great gifts he has given to him, and has caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the prefects over all the wise men of Babylon.
Kralj uzvisi Daniela i dariva ga mnogim blistavim darovima. Postavi ga upraviteljem sve pokrajine babilonske i starješinom svih mudraca babilonskih.
49 And Daniel has sought from the king, and he has appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
Daniel zamoli kralja da odredi za upravitelje pokrajine babilonske Šadraka, Mešaka i Abed Nega, a Daniel ostade na kraljevu dvoru.
