Daniel 4

1 Nebuchadnezzar king the to all peoples the nations the and languages the which ([are] dwelling *Q(k)*) in all earth the peace your may it increase.

Nabukodonozor, kralj, svim plemenima, narodima i jezicima po svoj zemlji: Obilovali mirom!

2 Signs the and wonders the which he has done with me God (Most High the *Q(k)*) it seemed good before me to declare.

Svidjelo mi se obznaniti vam znakove i čudesa što ih na meni učini Bog Svevišnji.

3 [are] signs His how much! great and [are] wonders his how much! strong kingdom his [is] a kingdom of perpetuity and dominion his [is] with generation and generation.

Znakovi njegovi kako su veliki! Čudesa njegova kako silna! Kraljevstvo njegovo - kraljevstvo vječno! Vlast njegova za sva pokoljenja!

4 I Nebuchadnezzar at ease I was in house my and flourishing in palace my.

Ja, Nabukodonozor, življah mirno u svojoj kući i sretno u svojoj palači,

5 A dream I saw and it made afraid me and imaginings on bed my and [the] visions of head my they alarmed me.

kad vidjeh sanju koja me uplašila. Utvare i viđenja što su mi se na mom ležaju vrzla po glavi uznemiriše me.

6 And from me it was made a decree to bring in before me all [the] wise men of Babylon that [the] interpretation of dream the they will make known to me.

I naredih: neka mi pozovu sve mudrace babilonske da mi kažu što sanja znači.

7 Then ([were] going in *Q(k)*) magicians the conjurers the (Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) and astrologers the and dream the [was] saying I before them and interpretation its not [they were] making known to me.

Dođoše gataoci, čarobnici, zvjezdari i tumači znakova: ja im rekoh svoju sanju, a oni mi ne znadoše reći njezino značenje.

8 And until at last he came in before me Daniel who name his [is] Belteshazzar like [the] name of god my and who a spirit of gods holy [is] in him and dream the before him I said.

Tada dođe preda me Daniel, koji je nazvan Baltazar prema imenu moga boga, i u komu prebiva duh Boga Svetoga. Ja mu pripovjedih svoju sanju:

9 O Belteshazzar [the] chief of magicians the whom - I I know that a spirit of gods holy [is] in you and any secret not [is] oppressing you [the] visions of dream my which I saw and interpretation its tell!

“Baltazare, starješino gatalaca, znam da u tebi prebiva duh Boga Svetoga i da ti nijedna tajna nije preteška: evo sanje što je imah: daj mi njezino značenje.

10 And [the] visions of head my on bed my seeing I was and lo! a tree in [the] midst of land the and height its [was] great.

Evo viđenja što mi se na postelji vrzlo po glavi: Pogledam, kad evo jedno stablo usred zemlje vrlo veliko.

11 It grew great tree the and it grew strong and height its it reached to heavens the and [the] sight of it [was] to [the] end of all land the.

Stablo poraste, postade snažno, visina mu doseže nebo, vidjelo se s krajeva zemlje.

12 Foliage its [was] beautiful and fruit its [was] plentiful and food for all [was] on it under it it had shade - [the] animal[s] of field the and in branches its (they nested *Q(K)*) [the] birds of heavens the and from it it fed all flesh.

Krošnja mu bijaše lijepa, plodovi obilni; na njemu je bilo hrane za sve, u njegovoj sjeni počivaše zvijerje poljsko, na njegovim se granama gnijezdile ptice nebeske i svako se tijelo hranilo od njega.

13 Seeing I was in [the] visions of head my on bed my and lo! a watcher and a holy [one] from heavens the [was] coming down.

Ja promatrah viđenja što su mi se na mojoj postelji vrzla po glavi kad, evo, Stražar, Svetac, silazi s neba,

14 [he was] proclaiming With power and as follows [he was] saying cut down! tree the and cut off! branches its strip off! foliage its and scatter! fruit its let it flee animal[s] the from under it and birds the from branches its.

silnim glasom viče: 'Posijecite stablo, okrešite mu grane, počupajte mu lišće, pobacajte plodove! Neka se životinje razbjegnu ispod njega i ptice s grana njegovih!

15 Nevertheless [the] stump of roots its in ground the leave! and with a fetter of iron and bronze in grass the of field the and with [the] dew of heavens the let it become wet and [be] with animal[s] the portion its in [the] grass of earth the.

U zemlji ostavite panj i korijenje u gvozdenim i mjedenim okovima, u travi poljskoj! Neka ga pere rosa nebeska, i travu zemaljsku neka dijeli sa zvijerjem poljskim!

16 Heart its away from (human the *Q(k)*) let it be changed and [the] heart of an animal let it be given to it and seven times let them pass over it.

Neka mu se promijeni srce čovječje, srce životinjsko nek' mu se dade! Sedam vremena neka prođe nad njim!

17 [is] by [the] decree of Watchers command the and [is by the] word of holy [ones] affair the to [the] cause that they will know living [people] the that [is] having mastery (Most High the *Q(k)*) over [the] kingdom of (human the *Q(k)*) and to whomever whom he will be pleased he will give it and a lowly [one] of humankind he will set up (over it. *Q(k)*)

Tako su presudili Stražari, tako su odlučili Sveci, da sve živo upozna kako Svevišnji ima vlast nad kraljevstvom ljudskim: on ga daje kome hoće i postavlja nad njim najnižega od ljudi!'

18 This dream the I saw I king the Nebuchadnezzar (and you *Q(k)*) O Belteshazzar interpretation its - tell! as to because that - all [the] wise men of kingdom my not [are] able interpretation the to make known to me (and you *Q(k)*) [are] able who a spirit of gods holy [is] in you.

Ovo je sanja što je vidjeh ja, kralj Nabukodonozor. A ti, Baltazare, reci mi njezino značenje, jer mi nijedan od mudraca moga kraljevstva to ne može reći; ti možeš, jer u tebi je duh Boga Svetoga.”

19 Then Daniel who name his [was] Belteshazzar he was appalled about a moment one and thoughts his they alarmed him [was] replying king the and [was] saying O Belteshazzar dream the and interpretation its may not it alarm you [was] replying Belteshazzar and [was] saying (O lord my *Q(k)*) dream the ([be] for enemy your *Q(K)*) and interpretation its ([be] for adversaries your. *Q(k)*)

Tada se Daniel, nazvan Baltazar, načas smete i prestraši u svojim mislima. Kralj reče: “Baltazare, ne daj se zbuniti ovom sanjom i njezinim značenjem!” Baltazar odgovori: “Gospodaru moj, ova sanja neka bude tvojim dušmanima i njezino značenje tvojim mrziteljima!

20 Tree the which you saw which it grew great and it grew strong and height its it reached to heavens the and [the] sight of it [was] to all land the.

Stablo koje si vidio, veliko i snažno, koje seže sve do neba i vidi se po svoj zemlji,

21 And foliage its [was] beautiful and fruit its [was] plentiful and food for all [was] on it under it it dwelt [the] animal[s] of field the and in branches its they dwelt [the] birds of heavens the.

krošnje lijepe i plodova obilnih na kojem bijaše hrane za sve i pod kojim počiva zvijerje poljsko, a na njegovim se granama gnijezde ptice nebeske:

22 ([is] you *Q(k)*) It king O who you have grown great and you have grown strong and greatness your it has grown great and it has reached to heavens the and dominion your [is] to [the] end earth the.

to si ti, o kralju, koji si velik i moćan, veličina ti se povećala i dosegla do neba, a tvoja vlast do krajeva zemlje.

23 And that he saw king the a watcher and a holy [one] coming down - from heavens the and saying cut down! tree the and destroy it nevertheless [the] stump of roots its in ground the leave! and with a fetter of iron and bronze in grass the of field the and with [the] dew of heavens the let it become wet and [be] with [the] animal[s] of field the portion its until that seven times they will pass over it.

A što je vidio kralj kako Stražar, Svetac, silazi s neba te govori: 'Posijecite stablo, raskomadajte ga, no njegov panj i korijenje ostavite u zemlji, u gvozdenim i mjedenim okovima, u travi poljskoj, neka ga pere rosa nebeska i dio neka mu bude sa zvijerjem poljskim dok ne prođe sedam vremena nad njim' -

24 This [is] interpretation the king O and [is] [the] decree of (Most High the *Q(k)*) it which it has reached to (lord my *Q(k)*) king the.

ovo je značenje, o kralju, odluka Svevišnjega što će se ispuniti na mom gospodaru kralju:

25 And you [they will be] chasing away from humankind and with [the] animal[s] of field the it will be dwelling place your and grass like oxen - to you they will feed and from [the] dew of heavens the you [they will be] making wet and seven times they will pass (over you *Q(k)*) until that you will know that [is] having mastery (Most High the *Q(k)*) over [the] kingdom of humankind and to whomever whom he will be pleased he will give it.

Izagnat će te iz društva ljudi i sa životinjama ćeš poljskim boraviti; hranit ćeš se travom kao goveda, tebe će prati rosa nebeska; sedam će vremena proći nad tobom dok ne upoznaš da Svevišnji ima vlast nad kraljevstvom ljudskim i da ga daje kome on hoće.

26 And that they said to leave [the] stump of roots its of tree the kingdom your to you [will be] enduring from that you will know that [are] having mastery heavens the.

A što se reklo 'Ostavite panj i korijenje stabla' - tvoje će se kraljevstvo obnoviti čim spoznaš da Nebesa imaju svu vlast.

27 Therefore king O advice my let it be acceptable (to you *Q(k)*) (and sin your *Q(K)*) by right doing break off! and iniquities your by showing mercy to poor people whether it will be a prolonging of prosperity your.

Zato, kralju, neka ti bude mio moj savjet: iskupi svoje grijehe pravednim djelima i svoja bezakonja milosrđem prema siromasima, da bi ti potrajala sreća.”

28 Everything it came on Nebuchadnezzar king the.

Sve se to dogodi kralju Nabukodonozoru.

29 To [the] end of months two [plus] ten on [the] palace of kingdom the of Babylon walking about he was.

Dvanaest mjeseci kasnije, šetajući babilonskim kraljevskim dvorom,

30 [was] replying King the and [was] saying ¿ not [is] this it Babylon great which I I built it to a house of a kingdom by [the] strength of power my and for [the] honor of majesty my.

kralj govoraše: “Nije li to taj veliki Babilon što ga ja sagradih da mi bude kraljevskom prijestolnicom - snagom svoje moći, na slavu svoga veličanstva?”

31 Still word the [was] in [the] mouth of king the a voice from heavens the it fell to you [they are] saying O Nebuchadnezzar king the kingdom the it has passed away from you.

Još bijahu te riječi u ustima njegovim kad s neba dođe glas: “Tebi se objavljuje, kralju Nabukodonozore! Kraljevstvo ti se oduzelo;

32 And away from humankind you [they are] about to chase and [will be] with [the] animal[s] of field the dwelling place your grass like oxen to you they will feed and seven times they will pass (over you *Q(k)*) until that you will know that [is] having mastery (Most High the *Q(k)*) over [the] kingdom of humankind and to whomever whom he will be pleased he will give it.

bit ćeš izagnan iz društva ljudi, sa životinjama ćeš poljskim boraviti; hranit ćeš se travom kao goveda, i sedam će vremena proći nad tobom dok ne spoznaš da Svevišnji ima vlast nad kraljevstvom ljudskim, i da ga on daje kome hoće.”

33 At it moment the word the it was fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar and away from humankind he was chased and grass like oxen he ate and from [the] dew of heavens the body his it became wet until that hair his like eagles it grew long and nails his [were] like birds.

I smjesta se riječ izvrši na Nabukodonozoru: bi izagnan iz društva ljudi, jeđaše travu kao goveda, prala ga rosa nebeska; vlasi mu narastoše poput orlova perja, a njegovi nokti kao ptičje pandže.

34 And to [the] end of days the I Nebuchadnezzar eye my - to heavens the I lifted and understanding my on me it returned (and Most High the *Q(k)*) I blessed and [the] [one] living of perpetuity I praised and I glorified that dominion his [is] a dominion of perpetuity and kingdom his [is] with generation and generation.

“Pošto se navršiše određeni dani, ja, Nabukodonozor, podigoh oči prema nebu, razum mi se vrati, tada blagoslovih Svevišnjega hvaleći i uzvisujući onoga koji živi dovijeka: njegovo je kraljevstvo - kraljevstvo vječno, njegova je vlast za sva pokoljenja.

35 And all ([the] inhabitants of *Q(k)*) earth the [are] as not considered and as pleases he [he is] doing with [the] army of heavens the (and [the] inhabitants of *Q(k)*) earth the and not there [is] who he will strike on hand his so he may say to him what? have you done.

Stanovnici zemlje - upravo kao da ih i nema: po svojoj volji postupa on s vojskom nebeskom i sa žiteljima zemaljskim. Nitko ne može zaustaviti njegovu ruku ili mu kazati: 'Što to radiš?'

36 At it time the understanding my - it returned to me and to [the] honor of kingdom my majesty my and splendor my it returned to me and me counselors my and nobles my they sought and over kingdom my it was established and greatness surpassing it was added to me.

U isti čas razum mi se vrati, i na slavu moje kraljevske časti vrati mi se veličanstvo i sjaj; moji me savjetnici i velikaši potražiše, bih uspostavljen u kraljevsku čast i moja veličina još poraste.

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar [am] praising and [am] lifting up and [am] glorifying [the] king of heavens the who all deeds his [are] truth and ways his [are] justice and [those] who [are] walking in pride [he is] able to bring low.

Sada ja, Nabukodonozor, hvalim, uzvisujem i slavim Kralja nebeskoga, čija su sva djela istina, svi putovi pravda i koji može poniziti one koji hode u oholosti.”
