Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood the word, and had understanding of the vision.
Treće godine Kira, kralja perzijskoga, Danielu, prozvanome Baltazar, bi objavljena riječ - riječ istinita: velik rat. On je nastojao razumjeti riječ, i razumijevanje bi mu dano u viđenju.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.
U te dane ja, Daniel, žalovao sam tri sedmice:
3 I had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
nisam jeo tečnih jela; meso ni vino nije ulazilo u moja usta i nisam se mazao uljem dok ne prođoše te tri sedmice.
4 In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is the Tigris,
Dvadeset i četvrtoga dana prvog mjeseca bijah na obali velike rijeke Tigrisa;
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from Uphaz.
podigoh oči da vidim, i gle: Čovjek odjeven u lanene haljine, oko pasa mu pojas od zlata ofirskoga,
6 His body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.
tijelo mu poput krizolita, lice kao munja, oči kao baklje ognjene, ruke i noge poput mjedi uglađene, zvuk riječi njegovih kao žamor mnoštva.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Jedini ja, Daniel, gledah ovo viđenje, ljudi koji bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe ga, ali ih spopade silan strah te pobjegoše da se sakriju.
8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
Ostadoh sam gledajući to veliko viđenje; onemoćah, lice mi problijedje, iznakazi se, snaga me ostavi.
9 Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Začuh glas njegovih riječi, i kad razabrah glas, onesvijestih se i padoh licem na zemlju.
10 Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
I gle: ruka me dotače i pomože mi da se uprem na koljena i na dlanove.
11 He said to me, "Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
On mi reče: “Daniele, miljeniče, pripazi na riječi koje ću ti kazati! Ustani, jer ja sam evo k tebi poslan.” To reče, a ja ustadoh dršćući.
12 Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
I kaza mi: “Ne boj se, Daniele, jer od prvoga dana kad si odlučio da se poniziš pred svojim Bogom da bi razumio, tvoje su riječi uslišane i ja sam došao zbog tvojih riječi.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia.
Knez kraljevstva perzijskoga protivio mi se dvadeset i jedan dan, ali Mihael, jedan od prvih Knezova, dođe mi u pomoć. Ostavih ga nasuprot Knezu perzijskome,
14 Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future days."
a ja dođoh da ti kažem što će zadesiti tvoj narod na svršetku dana. Jer još će jedno viđenje biti za one dane.”
15 And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
Pošto mi to reče, ja oborih pogled na zemlju, bez riječi.
16 And look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have no strength.
I gle: onaj, sličan sinu čovječjem dotače se mojih usana. Otvorih usta da govorim te rekoh onome koji stajaše preda mnom: “Gospodaru moj, zbog ovog viđenja obuzeše me tjeskobe i onemoćah.
17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
I kako će sluga Gospodina svoga govoriti s Gospodinom kad posve onemoćah i dah me ostavi?”
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again and strengthened me.
Tada me se opet dotače onaj što bijaše kao čovjek te me okrijepi.
19 And he said, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."
On reče: “Ne boj se, miljeniče! Mir tebi! Budi jak! Ohrabri se!” I dok mi to govoraše, ja se ohrabrih pa rekoh: “Govori, Gospodine, jer si me ohrabrio!”
20 Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, the prince of Greece shall come.
Tada će on: “Znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? Sad ću se vratiti da se borim protiv Kneza Perzije; a čim svršim, doći će Knez Grčke.
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them except Michael, your prince."
Ali ću ti prije otkriti što je zapisano u Knjizi istine. Nema nikoga tko bi se sa mnom protiv njih borio, osim Mihaela, Kneza vašega,
