< Danilo 11 >

1 I ja prve godine Darija Midijanina stadoh da mu pomožem, i da ga potkrijepim.
And I in the first year of Cyrus stood to strengthen and confirm [him].
2 A sada æu ti kazati istinu. Evo, još æe tri cara nastati u Persiji; i èetvrti æe biti bogatiji od svijeh, i kad se ukrijepi bogatstvom svojim, sve æe podignuti na Grèko carstvo.
And now I will tell thee the truth. Behold, there shall yet rise up three kings in Persia: and the fourth shall be very far richer than all: and after that he is master of his wealth, he shall rise up against all the kingdoms of the Greeks.
3 Potom æe nastati silan car, i vladaæe velikom državom i radiæe što hoæe.
And there shall rise up a mighty king, and he shall be lord of a great empire, and shall do according to his will.
4 A kako nestane, rasuæe se carstvo njegovo i razdijeliæe se u èetiri vjetra nebeska, ne meðu natražje njegovo niti s vlašæu s kojom je on vladao, jer æe se carstvo njegovo ukinuti i dopasti drugima a ne njima.
And when his kingdom shall stand up, it shall be broken, and shall be divided to the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled over: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, and [given] to others beside these.
5 I car južni osiliæe, i jedan od knezova njegovijeh, i biæe silniji od njega, i vladaæe, i država æe njegova biti velika.
And the king of the south shall be strong; and one of their princes shall prevail against him, and shall obtain a great dominion.
6 I poslije nekoliko godina oni æe se oprijateljiti, i kæi južnoga cara doæi æe k caru sjevernom da uèini pogodbu; ali ona neæe saèuvati sile mišici, niti æe se on održati s mišicom svojom, nego æe biti predana i ona i oni koji je dovedu i sin njezin i onaj koji joj bude pomagao u to vrijeme.
And after his years they shall associate; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north, to make agreements with him: but she shall not retain power of arm; neither shall his seed stand: and she shall be delivered up, and they that brought her, and the maiden, and he that strengthened her in these times.
7 Potom æe od izdanka iz korijena njezina nastati jedan na mjesto njegovo, koji æe doæi s vojskom svojom i udariti na gradove cara sjevernoga, i biæe ih i osvojiæe ih.
[But] out of the flower of her root there shall arise [one on] his place, and shall come against the host, and shall enter into the strongholds of the king of the north, and shall fight against them, and prevail.
8 I bogove æe njihove i knezove njihove sa zakladima njihovijem dragocjenijem zlatnijem i srebrnijem odnijeti u ropstvo u Misir, i ostaæe nekoliko godina jaèi od cara sjevernoga.
Yea, he shall carry with a body of captives into Egypt their gods with their molten [images, and] all their precious vessels of silver and gold; and he shall last longer than the king of the north.
9 I tako æe car južni doæi u svoje carstvo, i vratiæe se u svoju zemlju.
And he shall enter into the kingdom of the king of the south, and shall return to his own land.
10 Ali æe sinovi njegovi zaratiti, i skupiæe veliku vojsku; i jedan æe doæi iznenada, i poplaviti i proæi; i vrativši se ratovaæe do grada njegova.
And his sons shall gather a multitude among many: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through, and he shall rest, and collect his strength.
11 Tada æe se razljutiti car južni, i izaæi æe i ratovaæe s njim, s carem sjevernijem, i podignuæe veliku vojsku, te æe mu biti data u ruke vojska.
And the king of the south shall be greatly enraged, and shall come forth, and shall war with the king of the north: and he shall raise a great multitude; but the multitude shall be delivered into his hand.
12 I kad razbije vojsku, ponijeæe se srce njegovo, i pobiæe tisuæe, ali se neæe ukrijepiti.
And he shall take the multitude, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down many thousands; but he shall not prevail.
13 Jer æe car sjeverni opet dignuti vojsku veæu od prve; i poslije nekoliko godina doæi æe s velikom vojskom i s velikim blagom.
For the king of the north shall return, and bring a multitude greater than the former, and at the end of the times of years an invading army shall come with a great force, and with much substance.
14 I u to æe vrijeme mnogi ustati na cara južnoga; i zlikovci od tvojega naroda podignuæe se da se potvrdi utvara, i popadaæe.
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south; and the children of the spoilers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; and they shall fail.
15 I doæi æe car sjeverni, i naèiniæe opkope, i uzeæe tvrde gradove, i mišice južnoga cara neæe odoljeti ni izabrani narod njegov, niti æe biti sile da se opre.
And the king of the north shall come in, and cast up a mound, and take strong cities: and the arms of the king of the south shall withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up, but there shall be no strength to stand.
16 I onaj došav na nj èiniæe što hoæe, i neæe biti nikoga da mu se opre; i ustaviæe se u krasnoj zemlji, koju æe potrti svojom rukom.
And he that comes in against him shall do according to his will, and there is no one to stand before him: and he shall stand in the land of beauty, and it shall be consumed by his hand.
17 Potom æe okrenuti da doðe sa silom svega carstva svojega, ali æe se pogoditi s njim, i daæe mu kæer za ženu da bi ga upropastio, ali se ona neæe držati, niti æe biti s njim.
And he shall set his face to come in with the force of his whole kingdom, and shall cause everything to prosper with him: and he shall give him the daughter of women to corrupt her: but she shall not continue, neither be on his side.
18 Potom æe se okrenuti na ostrva, i osvojiæe mnoga; ali æe jedan vojvoda prekinuti sramotu koju èini, i oboriæe na nj sramotu njegovu.
And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many, and cause princes to cease from their reproach: nevertheless his own reproach shall return to him.
19 Potom æe se okrenuti ka gradovima svoje zemlje, i spotaknuæe se i pašæe, i neæe se više naæi.
Then he shall turn back his face to the strength of his own land: but he shall become weak, and fall, and not be found.
20 I na njegovo æe mjesto nastati koji æe poslati nastojnika u slavi carskoj; ali æe za malo dana poginuti bez gnjeva i bez boja.
And there shall arise out of his root one that shall cause a plant of the kingdom to pass over his place, earning kingly glory: and yet in those days shall he be broken, yet not openly, nor in war.
21 A na njegovo æe mjesto doæi neznatan èovjek, kome nije namijenjena èast carska; ali æe doæi mirno i osvojiæe carstvo laskanjem.
[One] shall stand on his place, [who] has been set at nought, and they have not put upon him the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in prosperously, and obtain the kingdom by deceitful ways.
22 I mišice koje plave on æe poplaviti i polomiti, pa i kneza s kojim je uèinio vjeru.
And the arms of him that overflows shall be washed away as with a flood from before him, and shall be broken, and [so shall be] the head of the covenant.
23 Jer udruživši se s njim uèiniæe prijevaru, i došavši nadvladaæe s malo naroda.
And because of the leagues made with him he shall work deceit: and he shall come up, and overpower them with a small nation.
24 I doæi æe mirno u rodna mjesta u zemlji, i uèiniæe što ni ocevi njegovi ni ocevi otaca njegovijeh ne uèiniše, razdijeliæe im plijen i grabež i blago, i smišljaæe misli na gradove, za neko vrijeme.
And he shall enter with prosperity, and [that] into fertile districts; and he shall do what his fathers and his fathers’ fathers have not done; he shall scatter among them plunder, and spoils, and wealth; and he shall devise plans against Egypt, even for a time.
25 Potom æe podignuti silu svoju i srce svoje na cara južnoga s velikom vojskom; i car æe južni doæi u boj s velikom i vrlo silnom vojskom; ali neæe odoljeti, jer æe mu se èiniti nevjera.
And his strength and his heart shall be stirred up against the king of the south with a great force; and the king of the south shall engage in war with a great and very strong force; but [his forces] shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him:
26 I koji jedu hljeb njegov satræe ga; vojska æe njegova poplaviti, i mnogi æe pasti pobijeni.
and they shall eat his provisions, and shall crush him, and he shall carry away armies as with a flood, and many shall fall down slain.
27 I srce æe obojice careva raditi o zlu, i za jednijem æe stolom lagati; ali se neæe izvršiti; jer æe kraj još biti u odreðeno vrijeme.
And [as for] both the kings, their hearts [are set] upon mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper; for yet the end is for a [fixed] time.
28 I tako æe se vratiti u svoju zemlju s velikim blagom; i srce æe se njegovo obratiti na sveti zavjet, i kad izvrši, vratiæe se u svoju zemlju.
And he shall return to his land with much substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall perform [great deeds], and return to his own land.
29 U odreðeno æe vrijeme opet doæi na jug; ali drugi put neæe biti kao prvi put.
At the [set] time he shall return, and shall come into the south, but the last [expedition] shall [not] be as the first.
30 Jer æe doæi na nj laðe Kitejske, i on æe se ojaditi, te æe se vratiti; i razljutiæe se na sveti zavjet, i izvršiæe; i vrativši se složiæe se s onima koji ostavljaju sveti zavjet.
For the Citians issuing forth shall come against him, and he shall be brought low, and shall return, and shall be incensed against the holy covenant: and he shall do [thus], and shall return, and have intelligence with them that have forsaken the holy covenant.
31 I vojska æe stajati uza nj, i oskvrniæe svetinju u gradu, i ukinuti žrtvu svagdašnju i postaviæe gnusobu pustošnu.
And seeds shall spring up out of him, and they shall profane the sanctuary of strength, and they shall remove the perpetual [sacrifice], and make the abomination desolate.
32 I koji su bezbožni prema zavjetu, on æe ih laskanjem otpaditi; ali narod koji poznaje Boga svojega ohrabriæe se i izvršiæe.
And the transgressors shall bring about a covenant by deceitful ways: but a people knowing their God shall prevail, and do [valiantly].
33 I razumni u narodu nauèiæe mnoge, i padaæe od maèa i ognja, ropstva i grabeža mnogo vremena.
And the intelligent of the people shall understand much: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, and by captivity, and by spoil of [many] days.
34 Ali padajuæi dobiæe malu pomoæ; i mnogi æe pristati s njima dvolièeæi.
And when they are weak they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall attach themselves to them with treachery.
35 I od razumnijeh æe pasti neki da bi se okušali i oèistili i ubijelili do roka, jer æe još biti rok.
And [some] of them that understand shall fall, to try them as with fire, and to test [them], and that they may be manifested at the time of the end, for the matter [is] yet for a [set] time.
36 I taj æe car èiniti što hoæe, i podignuæe se i uzvisiæe se iznad svakoga boga, i èudno æe govoriti na Boga nad bogovima, i biæe sreæan dokle se ne svrši gnjev, jer æe se izvršiti što je odreðeno.
And he shall do according to his will, and the king shall exalt and magnify himself against every god, and shall speak great swelling words, and shall prosper until the indignation shall be accomplished: for it is coming to an end.
37 Neæe mariti ni za bogove svojih otaca ni za ljubav žensku, niti æe za koga boga mariti, nego æe se uzvišivati nada sve.
And he shall not regard any gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, neither shall he regard any deity: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 I na mjesto Boga najsilnijega slaviæe boga kojega oci njegovi ne znaše, slaviæe zlatom i srebrom i dragim kamenjem i zakladima.
And he shall honour the god of forces on his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not he shall honour with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and desirable things.
39 I uèiniæe da gradovi Boga najsilnijega budu boga tuðega; koje pozna umnožiæe im slavu i uèiniæe ih gospodarima nad mnogima i razdijeliæe zemlju mjesto plate.
And he shall do [thus] in the strong places of refuge with a strange god, and shall increase his glory: and he shall subject many to them, and shall distribute the land in gifts.
40 A u pošljednje vrijeme južni æe se car pobiti s njim; i car æe sjeverni udariti na nj kao vihor s kolima i konjicima i s mnogim laðama, i ušavši u zemlje poplaviæe i proæi.
And at the end of the time he shall conflict with the king of the south: and the king of the north shall come against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and they shall enter into the land: and he shall break in pieces, and pass on:
41 I doæi æe u krasnu zemlju, i mnogi æe propasti, a ove æe se izbaviti od njegovijeh ruku: Edomska, Moavska i glavni dio sinova Amonovijeh.
and he shall enter into the land of beauty, and many shall fail: but these shall escape out of his hand, Edom, and, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 I posegnuæe rukom svojom na zemlje, i zemlja Misirska neæe umaknuti.
And he shall stretch forth [his] hand over the land; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 I osvojiæe blago u zlatu i u srebru i sve zaklade Misirske; i Livijani i Etiopljani iæi æe za njim.
And he shall have the mastery over the secret [treasures] of gold and silver, and over all the desirable [possessions] of Egypt, and of the Libyans and Ethiopians in their strongholds.
44 Ali æe ga glasovi s istoka i sa sjevera smesti, te æe izaæi s velikim gnjevom da pogubi i zatre mnoge.
But rumours and anxieties out of the east and from the north shall trouble him; and he shall come with great wrath to destroy many.
45 I razapeæe šatore dvora svojega meðu morima na krasnoj svetoj gori; i kad doðe k svome kraju, niko mu neæe pomoæi.
And he shall pitch the tabernacle of his palace between the seas in the holy mountain of beauty: [but] he shall come to his portion, and there is none to deliver him.
