Daniel 4
1 King Nebuchadnezzar sent this decree to all peoples, nations, and languages who lived on the earth: May your peace increase.
Car Navuhodonosor svijem narodima, plemenima i jezicima što su po svoj zemlji, mir da vam se umnoži.
2 It has seemed good to me to tell you about the signs and wonders that the Most High has done for 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 lasts 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 living happily in my house, and I was enjoying prosperity in my palace.
Ja Navuhodonosor bijah miran u kuæi svojoj i cvatijah u dvoru svom.
5 But a dream I had made me afraid. As I lay there, the images I saw and the visions in my mind troubled me.
Usnih san, koji me uplaši, i misli na postelji mojoj i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.
6 So I gave a decree to bring before me all the men of Babylon who had wisdom so they could interpret the dream for me.
I zapovjedih da se dovedu preda me svi mudarci Vavilonski da mi kažu što znaèi san.
7 Then came the magicians, those who claimed to speak with the dead, the wise men, and the astrologers. I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.
Tada doðoše vraèari, zvjezdari, Haldeji i gatari, i pripovjedih im san, ali mi ne mogoše kazati što znaèi.
8 But at last Daniel came in—the one who is named Belteshazzar after 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 “Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is too difficult for you. Tell me what I saw in my dream and what it means.
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 These were the sights that I saw in my mind as I lay upon my bed: I looked, and there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was very great.
A utvara glave moje na postelji mojoj bješe: vidjeh, gle, drvo usred zemlje, i visina mu velika.
11 The tree grew and became strong. Its top reached to the heavens, and it could be seen to the ends of the whole earth.
Drvo bješe veliko i jako, i visina mu dosezaše do neba, i viðaše se do kraja sve zemlje.
12 Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant, and on it was food for all. The wild animals found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens lived in its branches. All living creatures were fed from 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 my mind as I lay on my bed, and a holy messenger came down from the heavens.
Vidjeh u utvarama glave svoje na postelji svojoj, i gle, stražar i svetac siðe s neba.
14 He shouted and said, 'Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it and the birds fly away 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 Leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the middle of the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew from the heavens. Let it live with the animals among the plants on the ground.
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 Let his mind be changed from a man's mind, and let an animal's mind be given to him until seven years pass by.
Srce èovjeèije neka mu se promijeni, i srce životinjsko neka mu se da, i sedam vremena neka proðe preko njega.
17 This decision is by the decree reported by the messenger. It is a decision made by the holy ones so that those who are alive may know that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and gives them to anyone he wishes to place over them, even to the most humble 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 I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had this dream. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the men with wisdom in my kingdom can interpret it for me. But you are able to do so, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
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 also named Belteshazzar, was greatly upset for a while, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.” Belteshazzar replied, “My master, may the dream be for those who hate you; may its interpretation be for your 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 that you saw—which grew and became strong, and whose top reached up to the heavens, and which could be seen to the ends of the whole earth—
Drvo što si vidio, veliko i jako, kojemu visina dosezaše do neba i koje se viðaše po svoj zemlji,
21 whose leaves were beautiful, and whose fruit was abundant, so that in it was food for all, and under it the animals of the field found shade, and in which the birds of the heavens lived—
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 this tree is you, king, you who have grown so strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your authority reaches to the ends 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 You, king, saw a holy messenger coming down from heaven and saying, 'Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the middle of the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew from the heavens. Let it live with the wild animals in the fields until seven years pass by.'
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, king. It is a decree of the Most High that has reached you, my master the king.
Ovo znaèi, care, i ovo je naredba višnjega koja æe se izvršiti na mom gospodaru caru:
25 You will be driven from among men, and you will live with the wild animals in the fields. You will be made to eat grass like an ox, and you will be wet with the dew from the heavens, and seven years will pass by until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and that he gives them to anyone he wishes.
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 As it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, in this way your kingdom will be returned to you from the time you learn that heaven rules.
A što se reèe da se ostavi panj sa žilama od drveta, carstvo æe ti ostati, kad poznaš da nebesa vladaju.
27 Therefore, king, let my advice be acceptable to you. Stop sinning and do what is right. Turn away from your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, and it may be that your prosperity will be extended.”
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 these things happened to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Sve ovo doðe na cara Navuhodonosora.
29 Twelve months later he was walking on the roof of the royal palace in Babylon,
Poslije dvanaest mjeseca hodaše po carskom dvoru u Vavilonu.
30 and he said, “Is this not the great Babylon, which I have built for my royal residence, for the glory 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 words were still on the lips of the king, a voice came from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, it is announced to you that this kingdom has been taken away from you.
Te rijeèi još bjehu u ustima caru, a glas doðe s neba: tebi se govori, care Navuhodonosore: carstvo se uze od tebe.
32 You will be driven away from people, and your home will be with the wild animals in the fields. You will be made to eat grass like an ox. Seven years will pass until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and he gives them to anyone he wishes.”
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 This decree against Nebuchadnezzar was carried out immediately. He was driven away from people. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew from the heavens. His hair grew as long as eagles' feathers, and his nails became 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 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was given back to me. “I praised the Most High, and I honored and glorified the one who lives forever. For his reign is an everlasting reign, and his kingdom endures from all generations to all generations.
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 All the earth's inhabitants are considered by him to be as nothing; he does among the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth whatever suits his will. No one can stop him or challenge him. No one can say to him, 'Why have you done this?'”
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 that my sanity returned to me, my majesty and splendor returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My counselors and my noblemen sought my favor. I was brought back to my throne, and even more greatness was given to me.
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, extol, and honor the King of heaven, for all his deeds are right, and his ways are just. He can humble those who walk in their own pride.
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.
