< Daniel 11 >
1 I, therefore, in the first year of Darius the Mede, was at my station to strengthen and embolden him;
I ja prve godine Darija Midijanina stadoh da mu pomožem, i da ga potkrijepim.
2 and, now, the truth, I will tell thee: —Lo! there are, yet three kings, to arise—belonging to Persia, and, the fourth, will amass greater riches than they all, and, when he hath strengthened himself in his riches, the whole, will stir up, the kingdom of Greece.
A sada æu ti kazati istinu. Evo, još æe tri cara nastati u Persiji; i èetvrti æe biti bogatiji od svijeh, i kad se ukrijepi bogatstvom svojim, sve æe podignuti na Grèko carstvo.
3 And so a hero king, will arise, —and wield great authority, and do according to his own pleasure;
Potom æe nastati silan car, i vladaæe velikom državom i radiæe što hoæe.
4 but, when he hath arisen, his kingdom, shall be broken in pieces, and be divided, toward the four winds of the heavens, —but not to his own posterity, nor according to his own authority which he wielded, for his kingdom, shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.
A kako nestane, rasuæe se carstvo njegovo i razdijeliæe se u èetiri vjetra nebeska, ne meðu natražje njegovo niti s vlašæu s kojom je on vladao, jer æe se carstvo njegovo ukinuti i dopasti drugima a ne njima.
5 But a king of the south, will become strong, even from among his rulers, —and will prevail against him, and have authority, a great authority, shall his authority be.
I car južni osiliæe, i jedan od knezova njegovijeh, i biæe silniji od njega, i vladaæe, i država æe njegova biti velika.
6 And, at the end of years, they will league together, yea, the daughter of the king of the south, will go in unto the king of the north, to make peace, but she shall not retain strength of arm, neither shall he stand, nor his arm, but she shall be delivered up—she herself, and they who brought her in, and he who begat her, and he that strengthened her in the times.
I poslije nekoliko godina oni æe se oprijateljiti, i kæi južnoga cara doæi æe k caru sjevernom da uèini pogodbu; ali ona neæe saèuvati sile mišici, niti æe se on održati s mišicom svojom, nego æe biti predana i ona i oni koji je dovedu i sin njezin i onaj koji joj bude pomagao u to vrijeme.
7 But one will stand up from the sprout of her roots, [in] his stead, —and he will enter the army, and enter into a fortress of the king of the north, and deal with them and shew himself strong;
Potom æe od izdanka iz korijena njezina nastati jedan na mjesto njegovo, koji æe doæi s vojskom svojom i udariti na gradove cara sjevernoga, i biæe ih i osvojiæe ih.
8 yea, even their gods, with their molten images, with their delightful vessels of silver and gold, with a host of captives, will he bring into Egypt, —and, he, will stand more, years, than the king of the north;
I bogove æe njihove i knezove njihove sa zakladima njihovijem dragocjenijem zlatnijem i srebrnijem odnijeti u ropstvo u Misir, i ostaæe nekoliko godina jaèi od cara sjevernoga.
9 so will the king of the south, enter into the kingdom, and then return unto his own soil.
I tako æe car južni doæi u svoje carstvo, i vratiæe se u svoju zemlju.
10 But, his sons, will rouse themselves to war, and gather together a multitude of large armies, but he will come on and on, and overflow and pass through, —and will return and wage war, up to his fortress.
Ali æe sinovi njegovi zaratiti, i skupiæe veliku vojsku; i jedan æe doæi iznenada, i poplaviti i proæi; i vrativši se ratovaæe do grada njegova.
11 Then will the king of the south, be enraged, and go forth and fight with him, with the king of the north, —and will raise a great multitude, but the multitude, will be delivered, into his hand.
Tada æe se razljutiti car južni, i izaæi æe i ratovaæe s njim, s carem sjevernijem, i podignuæe veliku vojsku, te æe mu biti data u ruke vojska.
12 And, when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart, will be uplifted, —and he will cause tens of thousands to fall, but will not conquer.
I kad razbije vojsku, ponijeæe se srce njegovo, i pobiæe tisuæe, ali se neæe ukrijepiti.
13 Then will the king of the north again raise a multitude, greater than the first, —and, at the end of the times—some years, he will come on and on with a great army, and with great substance.
Jer æe car sjeverni opet dignuti vojsku veæu od prve; i poslije nekoliko godina doæi æe s velikom vojskom i s velikim blagom.
14 And, in those times, many, will rise against the king of the south, —and, the sons of the oppressors of thy people, will exalt themselves to confirm the vision, but will be overthrown.
I u to æe vrijeme mnogi ustati na cara južnoga; i zlikovci od tvojega naroda podignuæe se da se potvrdi utvara, i popadaæe.
15 Then will come in the king of the north, and cast up a rampart, and capture a city of strongholds, —and, the arms of the south, will not rise, nor the people of his chosen ones, and there shall be no strength to rise.
I doæi æe car sjeverni, i naèiniæe opkope, i uzeæe tvrde gradove, i mišice južnoga cara neæe odoljeti ni izabrani narod njegov, niti æe biti sile da se opre.
16 So shall he that cometh against him do according to his own pleasure, and, none, shall stand before him, —therefore will he take his stand in the beautiful land, and it will languish and be exhausted in his hand.
I onaj došav na nj èiniæe što hoæe, i neæe biti nikoga da mu se opre; i ustaviæe se u krasnoj zemlji, koju æe potrti svojom rukom.
17 Then will he set his face to enter, with the might of all his kingdom, and, equitable terms with him, will make, —and, a daughter of women, will he give him to corrupt her, but she will not remain, nor, his, shall she become.
Potom æe okrenuti da doðe sa silom svega carstva svojega, ali æe se pogoditi s njim, i daæe mu kæer za ženu da bi ga upropastio, ali se ona neæe držati, niti æe biti s njim.
18 Then will he turn his face to the Coastlands, and will capture many, —but a commander, will bring to an end, his reproach against himself, that, his reproach, return not unto him.
Potom æe se okrenuti na ostrva, i osvojiæe mnoga; ali æe jedan vojvoda prekinuti sramotu koju èini, i oboriæe na nj sramotu njegovu.
19 Therefore will he turn his face towards the fortresses of his land, —but he shall stagger and fall, and shall not be found.
Potom æe se okrenuti ka gradovima svoje zemlje, i spotaknuæe se i pašæe, i neæe se više naæi.
20 Then will rise up in his stead, one causing an exactor to pass through the ornament of the kingdom, —but, in a few days, shall he be broken in pieces, not with anger, nor in battle.
I na njegovo æe mjesto nastati koji æe poslati nastojnika u slavi carskoj; ali æe za malo dana poginuti bez gnjeva i bez boja.
21 Then will rise up in his stead, one despised, and they will not lay upon him the dignity of the kingdom, —but he will come in unexpectedly, and strengthen the kingdom by flatteries;
A na njegovo æe mjesto doæi neznatan èovjek, kome nije namijenjena èast carska; ali æe doæi mirno i osvojiæe carstvo laskanjem.
22 and, the arms of an overflowing flood, will sweep all before him, and they shall be broken in pieces, —moreover also, the prince of a covenant;
I mišice koje plave on æe poplaviti i polomiti, pa i kneza s kojim je uèinio vjeru.
23 and, by reason of the leaguing against him, he will work deceitfully, and will come up and become strong, with a small nation.
Jer udruživši se s njim uèiniæe prijevaru, i došavši nadvladaæe s malo naroda.
24 Unexpectedly, even into the rich places of the province, will he enter, and will do what neither his fathers nor his father’s fathers had done, prey and spoil and substance—among them, will he scatter, —and, against strongholds, will he devise plots even until a (convenient) time.
I doæi æe mirno u rodna mjesta u zemlji, i uèiniæe što ni ocevi njegovi ni ocevi otaca njegovijeh ne uèiniše, razdijeliæe im plijen i grabež i blago, i smišljaæe misli na gradove, za neko vrijeme.
25 Then will he stir up his strength and his heart, against the king of the south, with a great army, and, the king of the south, will wage war, with a great and exceedingly mighty army, —but will make no stand, for they will devise against him plots;
Potom æe podignuti silu svoju i srce svoje na cara južnoga s velikom vojskom; i car æe južni doæi u boj s velikom i vrlo silnom vojskom; ali neæe odoljeti, jer æe mu se èiniti nevjera.
26 and, they who have been eating his delicacies, will break him in pieces, and, his army, will he overwhelm like a flood, —and many wounded, will fall.
I koji jedu hljeb njegov satræe ga; vojska æe njegova poplaviti, i mnogi æe pasti pobijeni.
27 Now, as for the two kings, their heart, will be set on acting wickedly, and, at one table, will they speak, falsehood, —but it shall not succeed, for yet is the end for an appointed time.
I srce æe obojice careva raditi o zlu, i za jednijem æe stolom lagati; ali se neæe izvršiti; jer æe kraj još biti u odreðeno vrijeme.
28 So then he will return to his own land, with great substance, with, his heart, set upon a holy covenant; yea he will act with effect, and return to his own land.
I tako æe se vratiti u svoju zemlju s velikim blagom; i srce æe se njegovo obratiti na sveti zavjet, i kad izvrši, vratiæe se u svoju zemlju.
29 At the appointed time, will he again enter the south, —but it shall not be like the former, nor like the latter.
U odreðeno æe vrijeme opet doæi na jug; ali drugi put neæe biti kao prvi put.
30 Then will come in against him the ships of Cyprus, and he will be disheartened, and again have indignation against a holy covenant, and will act with effect, —and again gain intelligence, concerning them who are forsaking a holy covenant.
Jer æe doæi na nj laðe Kitejske, i on æe se ojaditi, te æe se vratiti; i razljutiæe se na sveti zavjet, i izvršiæe; i vrativši se složiæe se s onima koji ostavljaju sveti zavjet.
31 And, arms, from him, will arise, —and will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and will set aside the continual [ascending-sacrifice], and place the horrid abomination that astoundeth.
I vojska æe stajati uza nj, i oskvrniæe svetinju u gradu, i ukinuti žrtvu svagdašnju i postaviæe gnusobu pustošnu.
32 And, them who are ready to deal lawlessly with a covenant, will he make impious by flatteries, —but, the people who know their God, will be strong and act with effect.
I koji su bezbožni prema zavjetu, on æe ih laskanjem otpaditi; ali narod koji poznaje Boga svojega ohrabriæe se i izvršiæe.
33 And, they who make the people wise, will impart understanding to the many, —yet shall they be brought low, by sword and by flame, by captivity and by prey, for some days;
I razumni u narodu nauèiæe mnoge, i padaæe od maèa i ognja, ropstva i grabeža mnogo vremena.
34 but, when they are brought low, they shall be helped with a little help, —and many, will join themselves unto them, by flatteries;
Ali padajuæi dobiæe malu pomoæ; i mnogi æe pristati s njima dvolièeæi.
35 and, of them who make wise, some shall be brought low, to refine them, and to purify and make white, up to the time of the end, —for yet is it for an appointed time.
I od razumnijeh æe pasti neki da bi se okušali i oèistili i ubijelili do roka, jer æe još biti rok.
36 And the king, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things, —and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must be done;
I taj æe car èiniti što hoæe, i podignuæe se i uzvisiæe se iznad svakoga boga, i èudno æe govoriti na Boga nad bogovima, i biæe sreæan dokle se ne svrši gnjev, jer æe se izvršiti što je odreðeno.
37 and, for the god of his fathers, will he have no regard, nor, for the delight of women, nor for any god, will he have regard, —for, against all, will he magnify himself.
Neæe mariti ni za bogove svojih otaca ni za ljubav žensku, niti æe za koga boga mariti, nego æe se uzvišivati nada sve.
38 Howbeit, to the god of the fortresses, in his place, will he give honour, —even to a god whom his fathers, knew not, will he give honour, with gold and with silver and with precious stones and with articles of delight.
I na mjesto Boga najsilnijega slaviæe boga kojega oci njegovi ne znaše, slaviæe zlatom i srebrom i dragim kamenjem i zakladima.
39 And he will prepare, for the strongholds of the fortress of the sea, the people of an alien god, whom he will acknowledge—will greatly honour, —and will give them authority over the many, and, the soil, will he apportion for a price.
I uèiniæe da gradovi Boga najsilnijega budu boga tuðega; koje pozna umnožiæe im slavu i uèiniæe ih gospodarima nad mnogima i razdijeliæe zemlju mjesto plate.
40 And, in the time of the end, will the king of the south, push at him, and the king of the north, will rush against him, with chariots and with horsemen, and with many ships, —and he will enter the lands, and overwhelm and pass over;
A u pošljednje vrijeme južni æe se car pobiti s njim; i car æe sjeverni udariti na nj kao vihor s kolima i konjicima i s mnogim laðama, i ušavši u zemlje poplaviæe i proæi.
41 yea he will enter the beautiful land, and, many [lands], shall be laid low, —but, these, shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom and Moab, and the first portion of the sons of Ammon;
I doæi æe u krasnu zemlju, i mnogi æe propasti, a ove æe se izbaviti od njegovijeh ruku: Edomska, Moavska i glavni dio sinova Amonovijeh.
42 yea he will thrust forth his hand against the lands, —and, the land of Egypt, shall have no deliverance;
I posegnuæe rukom svojom na zemlje, i zemlja Misirska neæe umaknuti.
43 and he will have authority over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the delightful things of Egypt, —with Libyans and Ethiopians among his followers;
I osvojiæe blago u zlatu i u srebru i sve zaklade Misirske; i Livijani i Etiopljani iæi æe za njim.
44 but, tidings, will terrify him, out of the east, and out of the north, —therefore will he go forth with great fury, to destroy and to devote many;
Ali æe ga glasovi s istoka i sa sjevera smesti, te æe izaæi s velikim gnjevom da pogubi i zatre mnoge.
45 and will plant his palace-home between the seas, towards the beautiful holy mountain, but shall come to his end, with none to help him.
I razapeæe šatore dvora svojega meðu morima na krasnoj svetoj gori; i kad doðe k svome kraju, niko mu neæe pomoæi.
