< Daniel 8 >
1 In the thridde yeer of the rewme of Balthasar, the king, a visioun apperide to me. Y, Danyel, after that thing that Y hadde seyn in the bigynnyng,
V tretjem letu kraljevanja kralja Belšacárja se mi je prikazalo videnje, celo meni, Danielu, po tistem, ki se mi je prikazalo najprej.
2 siy in my visioun, whanne Y was in the castel of Susis, which is in the cuntrei of Helam; sotheli Y siy in the visioun that Y was on the yate Vlay.
Videl sem v videnju in pripetilo se je, ko sem gledal, da sem bil v [mestu] Suze, v palači, ki je v provinci Elám, in videl sem v videnju in bil sem pri reki Uláj.
3 And Y reiside myn iyen, and Y siy; and lo! o ram stood bifor the mareis, and hadde hiy hornes, and oon hiyere than the tother, and vndurwexynge.
Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči, videl in glej, tam pred reko je stal oven, ki je imel dva rogova in dva rogova sta bila visoka. Toda eden je bil višji kakor drug in višji je prišel zadnji.
4 Aftirward Y siy the ram wyndewynge with hornes ayens the eest, and ayens the west, and ayens the north, and ayens the south; and alle beestis myyten not ayenstonde it, nether be delyuered fro the hondis of it. And it dide bi his wille, and was magnefied.
Videl sem ovna bosti proti zahodu in proti severu in proti jugu, tako, da noben zvernik ni mogel stati pred njim niti tam ni bilo nikogar, ki bi ga lahko osvobodil iz njegove roke, temveč je počel glede na svojo voljo in postal velik.
5 And Y vndurstood. Lo! forsothe a buk of geet cam fro the west on the face of al erthe, and touchide not the erthe; forsothe the buk of geet hadde a noble horn bitwixe hise iyen;
Ko sem preudarjal, glej, je od zahoda prišel kozel na obličje celotne zemlje, tal pa se ni dotaknil, in kozel je imel med svojimi očmi opazen rog.
6 and he cam til to that horned ram, which Y hadde seyn stondynge bifore the yate, and he ran in the fersnesse of his strengthe to that ram.
Ta je prišel k ovnu, ki je imel dva rogova, ki sem ga videl stati pred reko in stekel k njemu v razjarjenosti svoje moči.
7 And whanne he hadde neiyid niy the ram, he hurlide fersly on hym, and he smoot the ram, and al to-brak tweyne hornes of hym, and the ram miyte not ayenstonde hym. And whanne he hadde sent that ram in to erthe, he defoulide; and no man miyte delyuere the ram fro his hond.
Videl sem ga približevati se ovnu in prevzet je bil z gnevom zoper njega in udaril ovna ter zlomil dva njegova rogova. V ovnu pa ni bilo moči, da stoji pred njim, temveč ga je vrgel dol k tlom in ga poteptal, in nikogar ni bilo, ki bi mogel ovna osvoboditi iz njegove roke.
8 Forsothe the buk of geet was maad ful greet; and whanne he hadde encreessid, the greet horn was brokun, and foure hornes risiden vndur it, bi foure wyndis of heuene.
Zato je kozel postal zelo velik, in ko je bil močan, je bil veliki rog zlomljen in za tem so prišli gor štirje opazni, [razdeljeni] proti štirim vetrovom neba.
9 Forsothe of oon of hem yede out o litil horn, and it was maad greet ayens the south, and ayens the eest, and ayens the strengthe.
Iz enega izmed njih je prišel majhen rog, ki je postal silno velik, proti jugu in proti vzhodu in proti prijetni deželi.
10 And it was magnefied til to the strengthe of heuene, and it castide doun of the strengthe and of sterris, and defoulide tho.
Ta je postal velik, celó do nebeške vojske, in ta je vrgel dol nekatere izmed vojske in od zvezd k tlom in poteptal nad njimi.
11 And he was magnefied til to the prince of strengthe, and he took awei fro hym the contynuel sacrifice, and castide doun the place of his halewyng.
Da, poveličeval je samega sebe, celo do princa vojske in z njim je bilo odvzeto dnevno žrtvovanje in prostor njegovega svetišča je bil vržen dol.
12 Forsothe strengthe was youun to hym ayens the contynuel sacrifice for synnes, and treuthe schal be cast doun in erthe; and he schal haue prosperite, and schal do.
In dana mu je bila vojska zoper dnevno žrtvovanje zaradi razloga prestopka in ta je vrgel resnico dol k tlom in to izvedel in uspel.
13 And Y herde oon of hooli aungels spekynge; and oon hooli aungel seide to another, Y noot to whom spekinge, Hou long the visioun, and the contynuel sacrifice, and the synne of desolacioun, which is maad, and the seyntuarie, and the strengthe schal be defoulid?
Potem sem zaslišal nekega svetega govoriti in drugi sveti je rekel temu nekemu svetemu, ki je govoril: »Doklej bo videnje glede dnevnega žrtvovanja in prestopka zapuščenosti, da bosta tako svetišče kakor vojska pogažena pod stopalom?«
14 And he seide to hym, Til to the euentid and morewtid, two thousynde daies and thre hundrid; and the seyntuarie schal be clensid.
Rekel mi je: »Do dva tisoč tristo dni, potem bo svetišče očiščeno.«
15 Forsothe it was doon, whanne Y, Danyel, siy the visioun, and axide the vndurstondyng, lo! as the licnesse of a man stood in my siyt.
Pripetilo se je, ko sem jaz, celó jaz, Daniel, videl videnje in si prizadeval najti pomen, potem, glej, je tam pred menoj stal kakor videz moža.
16 And Y herde the voys of a man bitwixe Vlai, and he criede, and seide, Gabriel, make thou Danyel to vndurstonde this visioun.
Zaslišal sem človeški glas med bregovoma Ulája, ki je zaklical in rekel: »Gabriel, stôri temu človeku, da razume videnje.«
17 And he cam, and stood bisidis where Y stood; and whanne he was comun, Y dredde, and felle on my face. And he seide to me, Thou, sone of man, vndurstonde, for the visioun schal be fillid in the tyme of ende.
Tako se je približal, kjer sem stal. Ko je prišel, sem bil prestrašen in padel na svoj obraz, toda rekel mi je: »Razumi, oh človeški sin, kajti videnje bo ob času konca.«
18 And whanne he spak to me, Y slood doun `plat to the erthe. And he touchide me, and settide me in my degree.
Torej, ko je govoril z menoj, sem bil v globokem spanju, s svojim obrazom proti tlom, toda dotaknil se me je in me postavil pokonci.
19 And he seide to me, Y schal schewe to thee what thingis schulen come in the laste of cursing, for the tyme hath his ende.
Rekel je: »Glej, dal ti bom spoznati kaj bo v zadnjem koncu ogorčenja, kajti ob določenem času bo konec.
20 The ram, whom thou siyest haue hornes, is the kyng of Medeis and of Perseis.
Oven, ki si ga videl, ki je imel dva rogova, sta kraljestvi Medije in Perzije.
21 Forsothe the buc of geet is the kyng of Grekis; and the greet horn that was bitwixe hise iyen, he is the firste kyng.
Razmršen kozel je kralj Grčije, in velik rog, ki je med njegovimi očmi, je prvi kralj.
22 Forsothe that whanne that horn was brokun, foure hornes risiden for it, foure kyngis schulen rise of the folc of hym, but not in the strengthe of hym.
Torej ta je bil zlomljen, medtem ko so štirje vstali namesto tega; štiri kraljestva bodo vstala iz naroda, toda ne v njegovi moči.
23 And after the rewme of hem, whanne `wickidnessis han encreessid, a kyng schal rise vnschamefast in face, and vndurstondyng proposisiouns, ether resouns set forth; and his strengthe schal be maad stalworthe,
V zadnjem času njihovega kraljestva, ko pridejo prestopniki v polni meri, bo vstal kralj krutega obličja in razumevanja temnih razsodb.
24 but not in hise strengthis. And more than it mai be bileuyd he schal waste alle thingis, and he schal haue prosperite, and schal do. And he schal sle stronge men, and the puple of seyntis,
Njegova moč bo mogočna, toda ne z njegovo lastno močjo. Ta bo izvrstno uničeval in uspeval bo in izvedel in uničil bo mogočnega in sveto ljudstvo.
25 bi his wille, and gile schal be dressid in his hond. And he schal magnefie his herte, and in abundaunce of alle thingis he schal sle ful many men. And he schal rise ayens the prince of princes, and withouten hond he schal be al to-brokun.
Zaradi svoje strategije bo tudi povzročil, da bo prebrisanost uspevala v njegovi roki, in poveličeval se bo v svojem srcu in z mirom bo uničil mnoge. Stal bo tudi zoper Princa princev, toda zlomljen bo brez roke.
26 And the visioun, which is seid in the morewtid and euentid, is trewe. Therfor seele thou the visioun, for it schal be after many daies.
Videnje večera in jutra, ki je bilo povedano, je resnično. Zato zastri videnje, kajti to bo za mnoge dni.
27 And Y, Danyel, was astonyed, and was sijk bi ful many daies; and whanne Y hadde rise, Y dide the werkis of the kyng; and Y was astonyed at the visioun, and `noon was that interpretide.
Jaz, Daniel, sem bil nekaj dni slaboten in bolan. Potem sem se dvignil in opravljal kraljeva opravila, bil pa sem osupel nad videnjem, toda nihče ga ni razumel.
