< Daniel 8 >
1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Треће године царовања Валтасаровог показа се мени Данилу утвара после оне која ми се показала пре.
2 I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
И видех у утвари; а бејах у Сусану у граду који је у земљи Еламу, кад видех, и видех у утвари и бејах на води Улају.
3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
И подигох очи своје и видех, и гле, стајаше крај воде ован, који имаше два рога, а рогови беху високи, али један виши од другог, и виши нарасте после.
4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
Видех овна где боде на запад и на север и на југ, и ниједна звер не могаше му одолети, и не беше никога ко би избавио од њега, него чињаше шта хоћаше, и осили.
5 As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
А кад ја мотрах, гле, иђаше јарац од запада поврх све земље, а не дотицаше се земље; и тај јарац имаше рог знаменит међу очима својим.
6 He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.
И дође до овна који имаше два рога, ког видех где стоји крај воде, и потрча на њ гневно силом својом.
7 I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
И видех га где дође до овна, и разгневивши се на њ удари овна, те му сломи оба рога и не беше силе у овну да му одоли, него га обори на земљу и погази га, и не беше никога да избави овна од њега.
8 The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.
И јарац поста врло велик; а кад осили, сломи се велики рог, и место њега нарастоше знаменита четири рога према четири ветра небеска.
9 Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
И из једног од њих изиђе један рог мален и нарасте врло велик према југу и истоку и према красној земљи.
10 It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.
И нарасте дори до војске небеске, и обори на земљу неке од војске и од звезда, и погази их.
11 Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
И нарасте дори до поглавара тој војсци, и узе Му свагдашњу жртву, и свети стан Његов обори.
12 The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
И војска би дана у отпад од жртве свагдашње, и обори истину на земљу, и шта чињаше напредоваше му.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”
Тада чух једног свеца где говораше; и један светац рече некоме који говораше: Докле ће трајати та утвара за свагдашњу жртву и за отпад пустошни да се гази светиња и војска?
14 He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
И рече ми: До две хиљаде и три стотине дана и ноћи; онда ће се светиња очистити.
15 When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.
А кад видех ја Данило ову утвару, и заисках да разумем, гле, стаде преда ме као човек.
16 I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
И чух глас човечији насред Улаја, који повика и рече: Гаврило, кажи овоме утвару.
17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”
И дође где ја стајах; и кад дође уплаших се, и падох на лице своје; а он ми рече: Пази, сине човечији, јер је ова утвара за последње време.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me and set me upright.
А док ми он говораше, ја бејах изван себе лежећи ничице на земљи; а он ме се дотаче, и исправи ме, те стадох.
19 He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
И рече: Ево, ја ћу ти казати шта ће бити на крају гнева; јер ће у одређено време бити крај.
20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Ован што си га видео, који има два рога, то су цареви мидски и персијски.
21 The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
А руњави је јарац цар грчки; и велики рог што му беше међу очима, то је први цар.
22 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
А шта се он сломи, и место њега нарастоше четири, то су четири царства, која ће настати иза тог народа, али не његовом силом.
23 “In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
А на крају царовања њиховог, кад безаконици наврше меру, настаће цар бестидан и лукав.
24 His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
Сила ће му бити јака, али не од његове јачине, и чудесно ће пустошити, и биће срећан и свршиваће, и губиће силне и народ свети.
25 Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.
И лукавством његовим напредоваће превара у његовој руци, и подигнуће се у срцу свом, и у миру ће погубити многе, и устаће на Кнеза над кнезовима, али ће се потрти без руке.
26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”
А речена утвара о дану и ноћи истина је; зато ти запечати утвару, јер је за много времена.
27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
Тада ја Данило занемогох, и боловах неко време; после устах и врших послове цареве; и чудих се утвари, али нико не дозна.
