Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters.
Прве године Валтасара, цара вавилонског, усни Данило сан и виде утвару главе своје на постељи; тада написа сан и приповеди укратко.
2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven strove upon the great sea.
Данило проговори и рече: Видех у утвари својој ноћу, а то четири ветра небеска ударише се на великом мору.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
И четири велике звери изиђоше из мора, свака другачија.
4 The first [was] like a lion, and had eagles' wings: I beheld till its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Прва беше као лав, и имаше крила орлова; гледах докле јој се крила поскубоше и подиже се са земље и стаде на ноге као човек, и срце људско даде јој се.
5 And behold another beast, a second, like a bear, and it raised itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Потом, гле, друга звер беше као медвед, и стаде с једне стране, и имаше три ребра у устима међу зубима својим, и говораше јој се: Устани, једи много меса.
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Потом видех, и гле, друга, као рис, имаше на леђима четири крила као птица, и четири главе имаше звер, и даде јој се власт.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it [was] diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it; and it had ten horns.
Потом видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, четврта звер, које се требаше бојати, страшна и врло јака, и имаше велике зубе гвоздене, јеђаше и сатираше, и гажаше ногама остатак, и разликоваше се од свих звери пређашњих, и имаше десет рогова.
8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Гледах рогове, и гле, други мали рог израсте међу онима, а три прва рога ишчупаше се пред њим; и гле, очи као очи човечије беху на том рогу, и уста која говораху велике ствари.
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
Гледах докле се поставише престоли, и старац седе, на коме беше одело бело као снег, и коса на глави као чиста вуна, престо Му беше као пламен огњени, точкови Му као огањ разгорео.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set and the books were opened.
Река огњена излажаше и течаше испред Њега, хиљада хиљада служаше Му, и десет хиљада по десет хиљада стајаху пред Њим; суд седе, и књиге се отворише.
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I beheld [even] till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Тада гледах ради гласа великих речи које говораше онај рог; и гледах докле не би убијена звер и тело јој се рашчини и даде се да изгори огњем.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
И осталим зверима узе се власт, јер дужина животу беше им одређена до времена и до рока.
13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, [one] like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, као Син човечији иђаше са облацима небеским, и дође до старца и стаде пред Њим.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.
И даде Му се власт и слава и царство да Му служе сви народи и племена и језици; власт је Његова власт вечна, која неће проћи, и царство се Његово неће расути.
15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of [my] body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Мени Данилу пренеможе дух мој у телу мом, и утваре главе моје узнемирише ме.
16 I came near to one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
Приступих к једном од оних који стајаху онде, и замолих га за истину од свега тога. И проговори ми и каза ми шта то значи:
17 These great beasts, which are four, [are] four kings, [which] shall arise out of the earth.
Ове четири велике звери јесу четири цара, који ће настати на земљи.
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
Али ће свеци Вишњег преузети царство, и држаће царство на век и довека.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Тада зажелех знати истину о четвртој звери, која се разликоваше од свих и беше врло страшна, и имаше зубе гвоздене и нокте бронзане, и јеђаше и сатираше, а остатак ногама гажаше,
20 And of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look [was] more stout than his fellows.
И о десет рогова шта јој беху на глави, и о другом који израсте и три отпадоше пред њим, о рогу који имаше очи и уста која говораху велике ствари и беше по виђењу већи од других.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Гледах, и тај рог војеваше са свецима и надвлађиваше их,
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Докле дође старац, и даде се суд свецима Вишњег, и приспе време да свеци преузму царство.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Овако рече: Четврта звер биће четврто царство на земљи, које ће се разликовати од свих царстава, и изјешће сву земљу и погазити и сатрти.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
И десет рогова јесу десет царева, који ће настати из тог царства, а после њих настаће други, и он ће се разликовати од пређашњих, и покориће три цара.
25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
И говориће речи на Вишњег, и потираће свеце Вишњег, и помишљаће да промени времена и законе; и даће му се у руке за време и за времена и за по времена.
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion to consume and to destroy [it] to the end.
Потом ће сести суд, и узеће му се власт, те ће се истребити и затрти сасвим.
27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
А царство и власт и величанство царско под свим небом даће се народу светаца Вишњег; Његово ће царство бити вечно царство, и све ће власти Њему служити и слушати Га.
28 Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Овде је крај овој речи. А мене, Данила врло узнемирише мисли моје, и лице ми се све промени; али реч сачувах у срцу свом.
