Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar. This message was true. It was about a great war. Daniel understood the message when he had insight from the vision.
Треће године Кира, цара персијског, објави се реч Данилу, који се зваше Валтасар; и реч беше истинита и о великим стварима; и разабра реч и разуме утвару.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was in mourning for three weeks.
У то време ја Данило бејах у жалости три недеље дана.
3 I ate no delicacies, I ate no meat, I drank no wine, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the completion of three entire weeks.
Јела угодна не једох, ни месо ни вино не уђе у моја уста, нити се намазах уљем док се не навршише три недеље дана.
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was beside the great river (that is, the Tigris),
А двадесет четвртог дана првог месеца бејах на брегу велике реке Хидекела.
5 I looked up and saw a man dressed in linen, with a belt around his waist made of pure gold from Uphaz.
И подигох очи своје и видех, а то један човек обучен у платно, и појас беше око њега од чистог злата из Уфаза;
6 His body was like topaz, and his face was like lightning. His eyes were like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet were like polished bronze. The sound of his words was like the sound of a great crowd.
А тело му беше као хрисолит, и лице му као муња, а очи му као лучеви запаљени, а руке и ноге као бронза углађена, а глас од речи његових као глас многог људства.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision. However, a great terror came on them, and they ran away to hide themselves.
И ја Данило сам видех утвару, а људи што беху са мном не видеше је, али их попаде страх велик, те побегоше и сакрише се.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; my bright appearance was turned into a ruined look, and no strength remained in me.
И остах сам и видех ту велику утвару, и не оста снаге у мени, и лепота ми се нагрди, и не имах снаге.
9 Then I heard his words—and as I heard them, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground.
И чух глас од речи његових, и кад чух глас од речи његових, изван себе падох ничице лицем на земљу.
10 A hand touched me, and it made me tremble in my knees and the palms of my hands.
И гле, рука ме се дотаче и подиже ме на колена моја и на дланове моје.
11 The angel said to me, “Daniel, man greatly treasured, understand the words that I am speaking to you. Stand upright, for I have been sent to you.” When he had spoken this message to me, I stood up trembling.
И рече ми: Данило, мили човече! Слушај речи које ћу ти казати, и стани право, јер сам сада послан к теби. И кад ми рече ту реч, устах дрхћући.
12 Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you set your mind to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.
И рече ми: Не бој се, Данило, јер првог дана кад си управио срце своје да разумеваш и да мучиш себе пред Богом својим, услишене бише речи твоје, и ја дођох твојих речи ради.
13 The prince of the kingdom of Persia resisted me, and I was kept there with the kings of Persia for twenty-one days. But Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me.
Али кнез царства персијског стаја ми насупрот двадесет и један дан; али, гле, Михаило један од првих кнезова дође ми у помоћ; тако ја остах онде код царева персијских.
14 Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the last days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”
И дођох да ти кажем шта ће бити твом народу после; јер ће још бити утвара за те дане.
15 While he was speaking to me using these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was unable to speak.
И кад ми говораше тако, оборих очи своје на земљу и занемех.
16 One who was like the sons of man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and spoke to him who stood before me: “My master, I am in agony because of the vision; I have no strength left.
И гле, као човек дотаче се усана мојих, и отворих уста своја, и проговорих и рекох оном који стајаше према мени: Господару мој, од ове утваре навалише моји болови на мене и нема снаге у мени.
17 I am your servant. How can I talk with my master? For I now have no strength, and there is no breath left in me.”
А како може слуга мог господара говорити с господарем мојим? Јер од овог часа у мени неста снаге и ни дихање не оста у мени.
18 Again the one with an appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.
Тада онај што беше као човек опет ме се дотаче и охрабри ме.
19 He said, “Do not be afraid, man greatly treasured. May peace be to you! Be strong now, be strong!” While he was speaking to me, I was strengthened. I said, “Let my master speak, for you have strengthened me.”
И рече: Не бој се, мили човече; мир да ти је! Охрабри се, охрабри се. И докле ми говораше, охрабрих се и рекох: Нека говори господар мој, јер си ме охрабрио.
20 He said, “Do you know why I have come to you? I will soon return to fight against the prince of Persia. When I go, the prince of Greece will come.
А он рече: Знаш ли зашто сам дошао к теби? А сада ћу се вратити да војујем на кнеза персијског; потом ћу отићи, и гле, доћи ће кнез грчки.
21 But I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. There is no one who shows himself to be strong with me against them, except Michael your prince.”
Али ћу ти казати шта је написано у књизи истинитој. Нема никога да јуначки ради са мном у том осим Михаила, кнеза вашег.
