Daniel 4
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king to all people, nations, and languages that dwell upon the whole earth. Peace be multiplied to you!
Car Navuhodonosor svijem narodima, plemenima i jezicima što su po svoj zemlji, mir da vam se umnoži.
2 I have thought it good to show the signs and wonders which the Most High God hath wrought toward me.
Svidje mi se da objavim znake i èudesa što mi uèini Bog višnji.
3 How great are his signs, and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endureth from generation to generation.
Znaci njegovi kako su veliki! i èudesa njegova kako su silna! carstvo je njegovo carstvo vjeèno, i vlast njegova od koljena do koljena.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
Ja Navuhodonosor bijah miran u kuæi svojoj i cvatijah u dvoru svom.
5 There I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Usnih san, koji me uplaši, i misli na postelji mojoj i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.
6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me; that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
I zapovjedih da se dovedu preda me svi mudarci Vavilonski da mi kažu što znaèi san.
7 Then came in the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldaeans, and the astrologers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
Tada doðoše vraèari, zvjezdari, Haldeji i gatari, i pripovjedih im san, ali mi ne mogoše kazati što znaèi.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and I told him the dream.
Najposlije doðe preda me Danilo, koji se zove Valtasar po imenu boga mojega, i u kom je duh svetijeh bogova, i pripovjedih mu san:
9 O Belteshazzar, chief of the scribes, since I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret is too hard for thee, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
Valtasare, poglavare vraèarima, znam da je duh svetijeh bogova u tebi i nikaka tajna nije ti teška; kaži san moj što sam snio i što znaèi.
10 The visions of my head were these. I saw, and behold a tree in the midst, whose height was very great.
A utvara glave moje na postelji mojoj bješe: vidjeh, gle, drvo usred zemlje, i visina mu velika.
11 The tree was large and strong, and its height reached to heaven, and it might be seen to the end of the whole earth.
Drvo bješe veliko i jako, i visina mu dosezaše do neba, i viðaše se do kraja sve zemlje.
12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
Lišæe mu bješe lijepo i rod obilat, i na njemu bješe hrane svemu; zvijerje poljsko odmaraše se u hladu njegovu, i na granama njegovijem stanovahu ptice nebeske, i od njega se hranjaše svako tijelo.
13 I saw, in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher, even a holy one, came down from heaven;
Vidjeh u utvarama glave svoje na postelji svojoj, i gle, stražar i svetac siðe s neba.
14 he cried aloud, and spake thus: Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches; shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts go away from under it, and the birds from its branches.
Povika jako i reèe ovako: posijecite drvo, i okrešite mu grane, pokidajte mu lišæe i razmetnite mu rod; neka pobjegnu zvijeri ispod njega i ptice s grana njegovijeh.
15 Yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, in bands of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and he shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and his portion shall be with the beasts in the grass of the field.
Ali panj sa žilama ostavite mu u zemlji, u okovima gvozdenijem i mjedenijem u travi poljskoj, neka ga kvasi rosa nebeska i dio da mu je sa zvijerjem od trave zemaljske.
16 His heart shall be changed, and be no more that of a man, and a beast's heart shall be given him, and seven times shall pass over him.
Srce èovjeèije neka mu se promijeni, i srce životinjsko neka mu se da, i sedam vremena neka proðe preko njega.
17 By a decision of the watchers is the decree, and by a command of the holy ones is the sentence; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdoms of men, and giveth them to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over them the lowest of men.
To su odredili stražari i izrekli sveti da bi poznali živi da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim, i daje ga kome hoæe, i postavlja nad njim najnižega izmeðu ljudi.
18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw, and do thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
Taj san snih ja car Navuhodonosor; a ti, Valtasare, kaži što znaèi, jer nijedan mudarac u carstvu mom ne može da mi kaže što znaèi; a ti možeš, jer je u tebi duh svetijeh bogova.
19 Then Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar, was amazed for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream or the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the signification of it to thine enemies!
Tada Danilo, koji se zvaše Valtasar, osta u èudu za jedan sahat, i misli ga uznemiravahu. A car progovori i reèe: Valtasare, san i znaèenje mu da te ne uznemiruje. A Valtasar odgovori i reèe: gospodaru moj, san da bude tvojim nenavidnicima, i znaèenje njegovo neprijateljima tvojim.
20 The tree which thou sawest, which was large and strong, whose height reached to heaven, and which might be seen by all the earth,
Drvo što si vidio, veliko i jako, kojemu visina dosezaše do neba i koje se viðaše po svoj zemlji,
21 whose leaves were fair, and whose fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which all the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whoso branches the birds of heaven had their lodging, —
Kojemu lišæe bješe lijepo i rod obilan, i na kom bješe hrane svemu, pod kojim stanovaše zvijerje poljsko i na granama mu sjeðahu ptice nebeske,
22 it is thou, O king, who art become great and strong; for thy greatness is immense, and reacheth to heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
To si ti, care, koji si velik i silan, i velièina je tvoja visoka i doseže do neba i vlast tvoja do krajeva zemaljskih.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher, even a holy one, coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down and destroy it, yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, in bands of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and he shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and his portion shall be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
A što car vidje stražara i sveca gdje slažaše s neba i govoraše: posijecite drvo i potrite ga, ali mu panj sa žilama ostavite u zemlji u okovima gvozdenijem i mjedenijem u travi poljskoj, da ga kvasi rosa nebeska, i sa zvijerjem poljskim neka mu je dio dokle sedam vremena proðe preko njega,
24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord, the king;
Ovo znaèi, care, i ovo je naredba višnjega koja æe se izvršiti na mom gospodaru caru:
25 they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall let thee eat grass as oxen, and be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdoms of men, and giveth them to whomsoever he will.
Biæeš prognan izmeðu ljudi, i sa zvijerima æeš poljskim živjeti, i hraniæe te travom kao goveda, i rosa æe te nebeska kvasiti, i sedam æe vremena proæi preko tebe dokle poznaš da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim i daje ga kome hoæe.
26 And whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, thy kingdom shall be sure to thee after thou shalt have acknowledged that Heaven ruleth.
A što se reèe da se ostavi panj sa žilama od drveta, carstvo æe ti ostati, kad poznaš da nebesa vladaju.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening out of thy tranquility.
Zato, care, da ti je ugodan moj svjet, oprosti se grijeha svojih pravdom, i bezakonja svojih milošæu prema nevoljnima, eda bi ti se produljio mir.
28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.
Sve ovo doðe na cara Navuhodonosora.
29 At the end of twelve months, he was walking in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon;
Poslije dvanaest mjeseca hodaše po carskom dvoru u Vavilonu.
30 and the king spake and said, Is not this the great Babylon which I have built for the seat of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?
I progovori car i reèe: nije li to Vavilon veliki što ga ja sazidah jakom silom svojom da je stolica carska i slava velièanstvu mojemu?
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven: “To thee it is said, O Nebuchadnezzar! the kingdom is departed from thee.
Te rijeèi još bjehu u ustima caru, a glas doðe s neba: tebi se govori, care Navuhodonosore: carstvo se uze od tebe.
32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make thee eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdoms of men, and giveth them to whomsoever he will.”
I biæeš prognan izmeðu ljudi, i živjeæeš sa zvijerjem poljskim, hraniæe te travom kao goveda, i sedam æe vremena proæi preko tebe dokle poznaš da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim i daje ga kome hoæe.
33 The same hour was the word fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
U taj èas ispuni se ta rijeè na Navuhodonosoru; i bi prognan izmeðu ljudi i jede travu kao goveda, i rosa nebeska kvasi mu tijelo da mu narastoše dlake kao pera u orla i nokti kao u ptica.
34 But at the end of the days, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored Him that liveth forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and whose kingdom endureth from generation to generation.
Ali poslije toga vremena ja Navuhodonosor podigoh oèi svoje k nebu, i um moj vrati mi se, i blagoslovih višnjega, i hvalih i slavih onoga koji živi dovijeka, èija je vlast vlast vjeèna i èije je carstvo od koljena do koljena;
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say to him, What doest thou?
I svi stanovnici zemaljski ništa nijesu prema njemu, i radi što hoæe s vojskom nebeskom i sa stanovnicima zemaljskim, i nema nikoga da bi mu ruku ustavio i rekao mu: šta radiš?
36 At the same time my reason returned to me, and also the glory of my kingdom, my honor, and my splendor returned to me; and my counsellors and my lords sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and I received yet greater majesty.
U to vrijeme um moj vrati mi se, i na slavu carstva mojega vrati mi se velièanstvo moje i svjetlost moja; i dvorani moji i knezovi moji potražiše me, i utvrdih se u carstvu svom, i doda mi se više velièanstva.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; all whose works are truth and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Sada ja Navuhodonosor hvalim, uzvišujem i slavim cara nebeskoga, èija su sva djela istina i èiji su putovi pravedni i koji može oboriti one koji hode ponosito.
