Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the summary of it.
Прве године Валтасара, цара вавилонског, усни Данило сан и виде утвару главе своје на постељи; тада написа сан и приповеди укратко.
2 Daniel spoke and said, "I saw in my vision by night, and, look, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea.
Данило проговори и рече: Видех у утвари својој ноћу, а то четири ветра небеска ударише се на великом мору.
3 Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
И четири велике звери изиђоше из мора, свака другачија.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I saw until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on two feet as a man; and a man's mind was given to it.
Прва беше као лав, и имаше крила орлова; гледах докле јој се крила поскубоше и подиже се са земље и стаде на ноге као човек, и срце људско даде јој се.
5 And look, another animal, a second one, like a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it, 'Arise, devour much flesh.'
Потом, гле, друга звер беше као медвед, и стаде с једне стране, и имаше три ребра у устима међу зубима својим, и говораше јој се: Устани, једи много меса.
6 After this I saw, and look, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Потом видех, и гле, друга, као рис, имаше на леђима четири крила као птица, и четири главе имаше звер, и даде јој се власт.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and look, a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and extremely strong. And it had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. And it was diverse from all the animals that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Потом видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, четврта звер, које се требаше бојати, страшна и врло јака, и имаше велике зубе гвоздене, јеђаше и сатираше, и гажаше ногама остатак, и разликоваше се од свих звери пређашњих, и имаше десет рогова.
8 I considered the horns, and look, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And look, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogant things.
Гледах рогове, и гле, други мали рог израсте међу онима, а три прва рога ишчупаше се пред њим; и гле, очи као очи човечије беху на том рогу, и уста која говораху велике ствари.
9 I saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.
Гледах докле се поставише престоли, и старац седе, на коме беше одело бело као снег, и коса на глави као чиста вуна, престо Му беше као пламен огњени, точкови Му као огањ разгорео.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.
Река огњена излажаше и течаше испред Њега, хиљада хиљада служаше Му, и десет хиљада по десет хиљада стајаху пред Њим; суд седе, и књиге се отворише.
11 I saw at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I was watching until the animal was killed and its body destroyed and was given to be burned with fire.
Тада гледах ради гласа великих речи које говораше онај рог; и гледах докле не би убијена звер и тело јој се рашчини и даде се да изгори огњем.
12 As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
И осталим зверима узе се власт, јер дужина животу беше им одређена до времена и до рока.
13 I saw in the night visions, and look, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him.
Видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, као Син човечији иђаше са облацима небеским, и дође до старца и стаде пред Њим.
14 There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
И даде Му се власт и слава и царство да Му служе сви народи и племена и језици; власт је Његова власт вечна, која неће проћи, и царство се Његово неће расути.
15 As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my mind troubled me.
Мени Данилу пренеможе дух мој у телу мом, и утваре главе моје узнемирише ме.
16 I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the true meaning concerning all this. So he told me, and revealed to me the interpretation of these things.
Приступих к једном од оних који стајаху онде, и замолих га за истину од свега тога. И проговори ми и каза ми шта то значи:
17 These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.
Ове четири велике звери јесу четири цара, који ће настати на земљи.
18 But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.
Али ће свеци Вишњег преузети царство, и држаће царство на век и довека.
19 Then I desired to know the true meaning concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its claws of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet.
Тада зажелех знати истину о четвртој звери, која се разликоваше од свих и беше врло страшна, и имаше зубе гвоздене и нокте бронзане, и јеђаше и сатираше, а остатак ногама гажаше,
20 And concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogant things, whose look was larger than the others.
И о десет рогова шта јој беху на глави, и о другом који израсте и три отпадоше пред њим, о рогу који имаше очи и уста која говораху велике ствари и беше по виђењу већи од других.
21 I saw, and the same horn made war with the holy ones, and prevailed against them,
Гледах, и тај рог војеваше са свецима и надвлађиваше их,
22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came that the holy ones possessed the kingdom.
Докле дође старац, и даде се суд свецима Вишњег, и приспе време да свеци преузму царство.
23 This he said, 'The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Овако рече: Четврта звер биће четврто царство на земљи, које ће се разликовати од свих царстава, и изјешће сву земљу и погазити и сатрти.
24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise, and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
И десет рогова јесу десет царева, који ће настати из тог царства, а после њих настаће други, и он ће се разликовати од пређашњих, и покориће три цара.
25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall oppress the holy ones of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given over to him until a time and times and half a time.
И говориће речи на Вишњег, и потираће свеце Вишњег, и помишљаће да промени времена и законе; и даће му се у руке за време и за времена и за по времена.
26 And the court shall sit in judgment, and they shall take away his dominion, consumed and completely destroyed forever.
Потом ће сести суд, и узеће му се власт, те ће се истребити и затрти сасвим.
27 The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.'
А царство и власт и величанство царско под свим небом даће се народу светаца Вишњег; Његово ће царство бити вечно царство, и све ће власти Њему служити и слушати Га.
28 Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. I kept the matter to myself."
Овде је крај овој речи. А мене, Данила врло узнемирише мисли моје, и лице ми се све промени; али реч сачувах у срцу свом.
