Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel hath seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then the dream he hath written, the chief of the things he hath said.
V prvem letu babilonskega kralja Belšacárja je imel Daniel sanje in videnja svoje glave na svoji postelji. Potem je sanje zapisal in povedal povzetek stvari.
2 Answered hath Daniel and said, 'I was seeing in my vision by night, and lo, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the great sea;
Daniel je spregovoril in rekel: »Videl sem v svojem videnju ponoči in glej, štirje vetrovi neba so se borili nad velikim morjem.
3 and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Štirje veliki zverniki so prišli iz morja, različni drug od drugega.
4 The first [is] like a lion, and it hath an eagle's wings. I was seeing till that its wings have been plucked, and it hath been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it hath been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it.
Prvi je bil podoben levu in imel je orlove peruti. Gledal sem, dokler niso bile njegove peruti izpuljene in dvignjen je bil z zemlje in primoran stati na stopalih kakor človek, in temu je bilo dano človeško srce.
5 And lo, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it hath been raised, and three ribs [are] in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume much flesh.
Glej še en zvernik, drug, podoben medvedu in ta se je dvignil na eno stran in v ustih, med svojimi zobmi, je imel tri rebra. Rekli so mu takole: ›Vzdigni se, požri veliko mesa.‹
6 'After this I was seeing, and lo, another like a leopard, and it hath four wings of a fowl on its back, and four heads hath the beast, and dominion is given to it.
Potem sem zagledal in glej drug, podoben leopardu, ki je imel na svojem hrbtu štiri krila perjadi. Zvernik je imel tudi štiri glave in dano mu je bilo gospostvo.
7 'After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it hath iron teeth very great, it hath consumed, yea, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it hath ten horns.
Potem sem v nočnih videnjih zagledal in glej četrtega zvernika, groznega, strašnega in silno močnega. Ta je imel velike železne zobe. Požiral je in lomil na koščke in preostanek poteptal s svojimi stopali. Ta je bil različen od vseh zvernikov, ki so bili pred njim, in ta je imel deset rogov.
8 'I was considering about the horns, and lo, another horn, a little one, hath come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and lo, eyes as the eyes of man [are] in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
Opazoval sem rogove in glej, tam se je med njimi vzdignil drug, majhen rog, pred katerim so bili trije izmed prvih rogov izruvani s koreninami. Glej na tem rogu so bile oči, podobne očem človeka in usta, ki so govorila velike stvari.
9 'I was seeing till that thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment as snow [is] white, and the hair of his head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels burning fire.
Gledal sem, dokler niso bili prestoli zrušeni in se je Starodavni usedel, katerega obleka je bila bela kakor sneg in lasje njegove glave podobni čisti volni. Njegov prestol je bil podoben ognjenemu plamenu in njegova kolesa kakor goreč ogenj.
10 A flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, a thousand thousands do serve Him, and a myriad of myriads before Him do rise up, the Judge is seated, and the books have been opened.
Goreč tok je izviral in prihajal izpred njega. Tisoči tisočev so mu služili in desettisočkrat deset tisoči so stali pred njim. Sodba je bila odrejena in knjige so bile odprte.
11 'I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing till that the beast is slain, and his body hath been destroyed, and given to the burning fire;
Takrat sem gledal zaradi glasu velikih besed, ki jih je rog spregovoril. Gledal sem, dokler ni bil zvernik pokončan, njegovo telo uničeno in izročeno gorečemu plamenu.
12 and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, till a season and a time.
Glede ostalih zvernikov, njihovo gospostvo jim je bilo odvzeto. Vendar so bila njihova življenja podaljšana za obdobje in čas.
13 'I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as a son of man was [one] coming, and unto the Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they have brought him near.
Videl sem v nočnih videnjih in glej, nekdo, podoben Sinu človekovemu, je prišel z oblaki neba in prišel k Starodavnemu in privedli so ga blizu predenj.
14 And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion [is] a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.
Dano mu je bilo gospostvo, slava in kraljestvo, da bi mu služila vsa ljudstva, narodi in jeziki. Njegovo gospostvo je večno gospostvo, ki ne bo preminilo in njegovo kraljestvo tisto, ki ne bo uničeno.
15 'Pierced hath been my spirit — I, Daniel — in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;
Jaz, Daniel, sem bil užaloščen v svojem duhu v sredi svojega telesa in videnja moje glave so me vznemirila.
16 I have drawn near unto one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he hath said to me, yea, the interpretation of the things he hath caused me to know:
Približal sem se k tistemu izmed njih, ki je stal poleg in ga vprašal resnico o vsem tem. Tako mi je povedal in mi dal spoznati razlago o stvareh.
17 'These great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings, they rise up from the earth;
Ti veliki zverniki, ki so štirje, so štirje kralji, ki se bodo vzdignili iz zemlje.
18 and receive the kingdom do the saints of the Most High, and they strengthen the kingdom unto the age, even unto the age of the ages.
Toda Sveti Najvišjega bodo prejeli kraljestvo in kraljestvo bodo obdržali v lasti na veke, celo na veke vekov.
19 'Then I wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, fearful exceedingly; its teeth of iron, and its nails of brass, it hath devoured, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled;
Potem sem želel vedeti resnico o četrtem zverniku, ki je bil različen od vseh ostalih, silno grozen, katerega zobje so bili iz železa in njegovi kremplji iz brona, ki je žrl, lomil na koščke in preostanek poteptal s svojimi stopali
20 and concerning the ten horns that [are] in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that hath eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions.
in o desetih rogovih, ki so bili na njegovi glavi in o drugem, ki se je dvignil in pred katerim so trije padli. Celo o tistem rogu, ki je imel oči in usta, ki so govorila zelo velike stvari, katerega pogled je bil arogantnejši kakor od njegovih tovarišev.
21 'I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and hath prevailed over them,
Pogledal sem in isti rog je začel vojno s svetimi in prevladal zoper njih,
22 till that the Ancient of Days hath come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time hath come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.
dokler ni prišel Starodavni in je bila sodba dana svetim Najvišjega in je prišel čas, da so sveti vzeli v last kraljestvo.
23 'Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumeth all the earth, and treadeth it down, and breaketh it small.
Tako je rekel: ›Četrti zvernik bo četrto kraljestvo na zemlji, ki bo različno od vseh kraljestev in požrlo bo celotno zemljo in jo pomendralo ter jo zlomilo na koščke.
24 And the ten horns out of the kingdom [are] ten kings, they rise, and another doth rise after them, and it is diverse from the former, and three kings it humbleth;
Deset rogov iz tega kraljestva je deset kraljev, ki bodo vstali in drug bo vstal za njimi. Ta bo različen od prvega in podvrgel bo tri kralje.
25 and words as an adversary of the Most High it doth speak, and the saints of the Most High it doth wear out, and it hopeth to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, till a time, and times, and a division of a time.
Govoril bo velike besede zoper Najvišjega in izmučil bo svete Najvišjega in mislil, da spremeni čase in postave, oni pa bodo dani v njegovo roko do časa in [dveh] časov in polovice časa.
26 'And the Judge is seated, and its dominion they cause to pass away, to cut off, and to destroy — unto the end;
F Toda sodba se bo usedla in odvzeli bodo njegovo gospostvo, da použije in da ga uniči do konca.
27 and the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people — the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a kingdom age-during, and all dominions do serve and obey Him.
Kraljestvo, gospostvo in veličina kraljestva pod celotnim nebom bo dano ljudstvu svetih Najvišjega, katerega kraljestvo je večno kraljestvo in vsa njegova gospostva mu bodo služila in ga ubogala.‹
28 'Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, greatly do my thoughts trouble me, and my countenance is changed on me, and the matter in my heart I have kept.
Do zdaj je konec zadeve. Kar se tiče mene, Daniela, me je moje poglobljeno razmišljanje zelo vznemirilo in moje obličje na meni je bilo spremenjeno, toda zadevo sem obdržal v svojem srcu.‹«
