Danilo 10
1 Treæe godine Kira cara Persijskoga objavi se rijeè Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar; i rijeè bješe istinita i o velikim stvarima; i razabra rijeè i razumje utvaru.
In the third year of Cyrus king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel surnamed Baltassar, and a true word, and great strength: and he understood the word: for there is need of understanding in a vision.
2 U to vrijeme ja Danilo bjeh u žalosti tri nedjelje dana.
In those days I Daniel mourned the days of three weeks.
3 Jela ugodna ne jedoh, ni meso ni vino ne uðe u moja usta, niti se namazah uljem dok se ne navršiše tri nedjelje dana.
I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine entered into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of three weeks were accomplished.
4 A dvadeset èetvrtoga dana prvoga mjeseca bijah na brijegu velike rijeke Hidekela.
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month I was by the great river which is the Tigris.
5 I podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, a to jedan èovjek obuèen u platno, i pojas bješe oko njega od èistoga zlata iz Ufaza;
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold:
6 A tijelo mu bješe kao hrisolit, i lice mu kao munja a oèi mu kao luèevi zapaljeni, a ruke i noge kao mjed uglaðena, a glas od rijeèi njegovijeh kao glas mnogoga ljudstva.
And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude.
7 I ja Danilo sam vidjeh utvaru, a ljudi što bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe je, ali ih popade strah velik, te pobjegoše i sakriše se.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves.
8 I ostah sam, i vidjeh tu veliku utvaru, i ne osta snage u meni, i ljepota mi se nagrdi, i ne imah snage.
And I being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.
9 I èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, i kad èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, izvan sebe padoh nièice licem na zemlju.
And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard, I lay in a consternation, upon my face, and my face was close to the ground.
10 I gle, ruka me se dotaèe i podiže me na koljena moja i na dlanove moje.
And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands.
11 I reèe mi: Danilo, mili èovjeèe! slušaj rijeèi koje æu ti kazati, i stani pravo, jer sam sada poslan k tebi. I kad mi reèe tu rijeè, ustah drkæuæi.
And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 I reèe mi: ne boj se, Danilo, jer prvoga dana kad si upravio srce svoje da razumijevaš i da muèiš sebe pred Bogom svojim, uslišene biše rijeèi tvoje, i ja doðoh tvojih rijeèi radi.
And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words.
13 Ali knez carstva Persijskoga staja mi nasuprot dvadeset i jedan dan; ali, gle, Mihailo jedan od prvijeh knezova doðe mi u pomoæ; tako ja ostah ondje kod careva Persijskih.
But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians.
14 I doðoh da ti kažem šta æe biti tvome narodu poslije; jer æe još biti utvara za te dane.
But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.
15 I kad mi govoraše tako, oborih oèi svoje na zemlju i zanijemjeh.
And when he was speaking such words to me, I cast down my countenance to the ground, and held my peace.
16 I gle, kao èovjek dotaèe se usana mojih, i otvorih usta svoja, i progovorih i rekoh onomu koji stajaše prema meni: gospodaru moj, od ove utvare navališe moji bolovi na mene i nema snage u meni.
And behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my Lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me.
17 A kako može sluga mojega gospodara govoriti s gospodarem mojim? Jer od ovoga èasa u meni nesta snage i ni dihanje ne osta u meni.
And how can the servant of my lord speak with my lord? for no strength remaineth in me, moreover my breath is stopped.
18 Tada onaj što bijaše kao èovjek opet me se dotaèe i ohrabri me.
Therefore he that looked like a man touched me again, and strengthened me.
19 I reèe: ne boj se, mili èovjeèe; mir da ti je! ohrabri se, ohrabri se. I dokle mi govoraše, ohrabrih se i rekoh: neka govori gospodar moj, jer si me ohrabrio.
And he said: Fear not, O man of desires, peace be to thee: take courage and be strong. And when he spoke to me, I grew strong: and I said: Speak, O my lord, for thou hast strengthened me.
20 A on reèe: znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? a sada æu se vratiti da vojujem na kneza Persijskoga; potom æu otiæi, i gle, doæi æe knez Grèki.
And he said: Dost thou know wherefore I am come to thee? and now I will return, to fight against the prince of the Persians. When I went forth, there appeared the prince of the Greeks coming.
21 Ali æu ti kazati što je napisano u knjizi istinitoj. Nema nikoga da junaèki radi sa mnom u tom osim Mihaila kneza vašega.
But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince.
