Daniel 2

1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, dreamed hath Nebuchadnezzar dreams, and his spirit doth move itself, and his sleep hath been against him;

A druge godine carovanja Navuhodonosorova usni Navuhodonosor san, i uznemiri mu se duh i san ga proðe.

2 and the king saith to call for scribes, and for enchanters, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king;

I reèe car da dozovu vraèe i zvjezdare i gatare i Haldeje da kažu caru san njegov. I doðoše i staše pred carem.

3 and the king saith to them, 'A dream I have dreamed, and moved is my spirit to know the dream.'

I reèe im car: usnih san, i uznemiri mi se duh kako bih doznao što sam snio.

4 And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaean, 'O king, to the ages live, tell the dream to thy servants, and the interpretation we do shew.'

A Haldeji rekoše caru Sirski: care, da si živ dovijeka! pripovjedi san slugama svojim, pa æemo ti kazati što znaèi.

5 The king hath answered and said to the Chaldeans, 'The thing from me is gone; if ye do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, pieces ye are made, and your houses are made dunghills;

A car odgovori i reèe Haldejima: zaboravio sam; ako mi ne kažete što sam snio i što znaèi, biæete isjeèeni i kuæe æe vaše biti buništa.

6 and if the dream and its interpretation ye do shew, gifts, and fee, and great glory ye receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation shew ye me.'

Ako li mi kažete što sam snio i što znaèi, dobiæete od mene dare i poklone i veliku èast; kažite mi dakle što sam snio i što znaèi.

7 They have answered a second time, and are saying, 'Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and the interpretation we do shew.

Odgovoriše opet i rekoše: neka car pripovjedi san slugama svojim, pa æemo kazati što znaèi.

8 The king hath answered and said, 'Of a truth I know that time ye are gaining, because that ye have seen that the thing is gone from me,

Car odgovori i reèe: doista vidim da hoæete vremena da dobijete; jer vidite da sam zaboravio.

9 [so] that, if the dream ye do not cause me to know — one is your sentence, seeing a word lying and corrupt ye have prepared to speak before me, till that the time is changed, therefore the dream tell ye to me, then do I know that its interpretation ye do shew me.'

Ali ako mi ne kažete što sam snio i što znaèi, jedan vam je sud; jer ste se dogovorili da kažete preda mnom laž i prijevaru dok se promijeni vrijeme; zato kažite mi san, pa æu vidjeti da mi možete kazati što znaèi.

10 The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, 'There is not a man on the earth who is able to shew the king's matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, hath asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;

Odgovoriše Haldeji caru i rekoše: nema èovjeka na zemlji koji bi mogao kazati caru to što ište; zato nijedan car ni knez ni vlastelin nije nigda iskao tako što od vraèa ili zvjezdara ili Haldejca.

11 and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and others are there not that do shew it before the king, save the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.'

I što car ište vrlo je teško; niti ima drugoga koji bi mogao kazati caru osim bogova, koji ne žive meðu ljudima.

12 Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;

Zato se car razljuti i razgnjevi vrlo, i zapovjedi da se pogube svi mudarci Vavilonski.

13 And the sentence hath gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

I kad izide zapovijest, te ubijahu mudarce, tražahu i Danila i drugove njegove da ih ubiju.

14 Then Daniel hath replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who hath gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.

Tada Danilo odgovori mudro i razumno Ariohu zapovjedniku stražarskom, koji bijaše izašao da ubija mudarce Vavilonske;

15 He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, 'Wherefore [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?' Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel,

Odgovori i reèe Ariohu vlastelinu carevu: zašto je tako nagla zapovijest od cara? Tada Arioh kaza stvar Danilu.

16 and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king.

A Danilo otide i zamoli cara da mu ostavi vremena, pak æe kazati caru što san znaèi.

17 Then Daniel to his house hath gone, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he hath made the thing known,

Potom otide Danilo kuæi svojoj, i kaza stvar Ananiji, Misailu i Azariji, drugovima svojim,

18 and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they destroy not Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Da se mole za milost Bogu nebeskomu radi te tajne, da ne bi poginuli Danilo i drugovi mu s ostalijem mudarcima Vavilonskim.

19 Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret hath been revealed. Then hath Daniel blessed the God of the heavens.

I objavi se tajna Danilu u noænoj utvari; tada Danilo blagoslovi Boga nebeskoga.

20 Daniel hath answered and said, 'Let the name of God be blessed from age even unto age, for wisdom and might — for they are His.

Progovori Danilo i reèe: da je blagosloveno ime Gospodnje od vijeka do vijeka; jer je njegova mudrost i sila;

21 And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.

I on mijenja vremena i èase; smeæe careve, i postavlja careve; daje mudrost mudrima i razum razumnima.

22 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what [is] in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt.

On otkriva što je duboko i sakriveno, zna što je u mraku, i svjetlost kod njega stanuje.

23 Thee, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might Thou hast given to me; and now, Thou hast caused me to know that which we have sought from Thee, for the king's matter Thou hast caused us to know.'

Tebe, Bože otaca mojih, hvalim i slavim, što si mi dao mudrost i silu, i što si mi objavio za što te molismo objaviv nam stvar carevu.

24 Therefore Daniel hath gone up unto Arioch, whom the king hath appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he hath gone, and thus hath said to him, 'The wise men of Babylon thou dost not destroy, bring me up before the king, and the interpretation to the king I do shew.'

Tada otide Danilo k Ariohu, kojega car bješe odredio da pogubi mudarce Vavilonske; i došav ovako mu reèe: ne gubi mudaraca Vavilonskih; izvedi me pred cara da kažem caru što san znaèi.

25 Then Arioch in haste hath brought up Daniel before the king, and thus hath said to him — 'I have found a man of the sons of the Removed of Judah, who the interpretation to the king doth make known.'

Tada Arioh brže izvede Danila pred cara, i ovako mu reèe: naðoh èovjeka izmeðu roblja Judina, koji æe kazati caru što san znaèi.

26 The king hath answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, 'Art thou able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?'

A car progovori i reèe Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar: možeš li mi kazati san koji sam snio i što znaèi?

27 Daniel hath answered before the king and said, 'The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to shew to the king;

Odgovori Danilo caru i reèe: tajne koje car ište ne mogu kazati caru mudarci ni zvjezdari ni vraèi ni gatari.

28 but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. 'Thy dream and the visions of thy head on thy bed are these:

Nego ima Bog na nebu koji otkriva tajne i javlja caru Navuhodonosoru što æe biti do pošljetka. San tvoj i što ti je vidjela glava na postelji tvojoj ovo je:

29 Thou, O king, thy thoughts on thy bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets hath caused thee to know that which [is] to be.

Tebi, care, doðoše misli na postelji što æe biti poslije, i onaj koji objavljuje tajne pokaza ti što æe biti.

30 As to me — not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living hath this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of thy heart thou dost know.

A meni se ova tajna nije objavila mudrošæu koja bi u mene bila mimo sve žive, nego zato da se javi caru što san znaèi i da doznaš misli srca svojega.

31 'Thou, O king, wast looking, and lo, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing over-against thee, and its appearance [is] terrible.

Ti, care, vidje a to lik velik; velik bijaše lik i svjetlost mu silna, i stajaše prema tebi, i strašan bijaše na oèima.

32 This image! its head [is] of good gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass;

Glava tome liku bijaše od èistoga zlata, prsi i mišice od srebra, trbuh i bedra od mjedi,

33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.

Golijeni mu od gvožða, a stopala koje od gvožða koje od zemlje.

34 Thou wast looking till that a stone hath been cut out without hands, and it hath smitten the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it hath broken them small;

Ti gledaše dokle se odvali kamen bez ruku, i udari lik u stopala mjedena i zemljana, i satr ih.

35 then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and carried them away hath the wind, and no place hath been found for them: and the stone that smote the image hath become a great mountain, and hath filled all the land.

Tada se satr i gvožðe i zemlja i mjed i srebro i zlato, i posta kao pljeva na gumnu u ljeto, te odnese vjetar, i ne naðe mu se mjesto; a kamen, koji udari lik, posta gora velika i ispuni svu zemlju.

36 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we do tell before the king.

To je san; a sada æemo kazati caru što znaèi.

37 'Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, hath given to thee;

Ti si, care, car nad carevima, jer ti Bog nebeski dade carstvo, silu i krjepost i slavu;

38 and whithersoever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the fowl of the heavens, He hath given into thy hand, and hath caused thee to rule over them all; thou [art] this head of gold.

I gdje god žive sinovi ljudski, zvijeri poljske i ptice nebeske, dao ti je u ruke, i postavio te gospodarem nad svijem tijem. Ti si ona glava zlatna.

39 And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule overall the earth.

A nakon tebe nastaæe drugo carstvo, manje od tvojega; a potom treæe carstvo, mjedeno, koje æe vladati po svoj zemlji.

40 And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh.

A èetvrto æe carstvo biti tvrdo kao gvožðe, jer gvožðe satire i troši sve, i kao gvožðe što sve lomi, tako æe satrti i polomiti.

41 As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter's clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay.

A što si vidio stopala i prste koje od kala lonèarskoga koje od gvožða, biæe carstvo razdijeljeno, ali æe biti u njemu tvrðe od gvožða, jer si vidio gvožðe pomiješano s kalom lonèarskim.

42 As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.

I što prsti u nogu bijahu koje od gvožða koje od kala, carstvo æe biti nešto jako a nešto trošno.

43 Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

A što si vidio gvožðe pomiješano sa kalom lonèarskim, to æe se oni pomiješati sjemenom èovjeèijim, ali neæe prionuti jedan za drugoga kao što se gvožðe ne može smiješati s kalom.

44 'And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed — to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age.

A u vrijeme tijeh careva Bog æe nebeski podignuti carstvo koje se dovijeka neæe rasuti, i to se carstvo neæe ostaviti drugom narodu; ono æe satrti i ukinuti sva ta carstva, a samo æe stajati dovijeka,

45 Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation stedfast.

Kako si vidio gdje se od gore odvali kamen bez ruku i satr gvožðe, mjed, kao, srebro i zlato. Bog veliki javi caru što æe biti poslije; san je istinit, i tumaèenje mu vjerno.

46 Then hath king Nebuchadnezzar fallen on his face, and to Daniel he hath done obeisance, and present, and sweet things, he hath said to pour out to him.

Tada car Navuhodonosor pade na lice svoje, i pokloni se Danilu, i zapovjedi da mu prinesu prinos i kad.

47 The king hath answered Daniel and said, 'Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'

Car progovori Danilu i reèe: doista, vaš je Bog Bog nad bogovima i gospodar nad carevima, i koji objavljuje tajne, kad si mogao otkriti ovu tajnu.

48 Then the king hath made Daniel great, and many great gifts he hath given to him, and hath caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the perfects over all the wise men of Babylon.

Tada car uzvisi Danila, i dade mu mnoge velike darove i uèini ga gospodarem svoj zemlji Vavilonskoj i poglavarem nad svijem mudarcima Vavilonskim.

49 And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.

I Danilo izmoli u cara, te postavi nad poslovima zemlje Vavilonske Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, a Danilo osta na dvoru carevu.
