Danilo 12
1 A u to æe se vrijeme podignuti Mihailo veliki knez, koji brani tvoj narod; i biæe žalosno vrijeme, kakoga nije bilo otkako je naroda do tada; i u to æe se vrijeme izbaviti tvoj narod, svaki koji se naðe zapisan u knjizi.
[The angel also said to me, ] “After those things happen, the great angel Michael, who protects the [Israeli] people, will appear. Then there will be a time when there will be great troubles/suffering. The troubles will be greater than any troubles/suffering since the nations began. At that time, all of your people whose names have been written in the book [containing the names of those who have eternal life] will be saved.
2 I mnogo onijeh koji spavaju u prahu zemaljskom probudiæe se, jedni na život vjeèni a drugi na sramotu i prijekor vjeèni.
Many of those who have died [EUP] will become alive again. Some of them will live eternally [with God], and some will be eternally shamed/disgraced [in hell]. (questioned)
3 I razumni æe se sjati kao svjetlost nebeska, i koji mnoge privedoše k pravdi, kao zvijezde vazda i dovijeka.
Those who were wise will shine as brightly as the sky [is bright when the sun is shining]. And those who have shown to others the way to live righteously will shine forever, like the stars [SIM].
4 A ti Danilo zatvori ove rijeèi i zapeèati ovu knjigu do pošljednjega vremena; mnogi æe pretraživati, i znanje æe se umnožiti.
But as for you, Daniel, close up the scroll [on which you are writing], and seal it [in order that no one can open it] until the end [of the world] is near. [Before that happens, ] many people will travel rapidly here and there, learning more and more [about many things].”
5 Tada pogledah ja Danilo, i gle, stajahu druga dvojica, jedan s ove strane na brijegu rijeke, a drugi s one strane na brijegu rijeke.
When [that angel finished speaking], I, Daniel, looked up, and suddenly I saw two other [angels]. One was standing on the side of the river [where I was], and one was standing on the other side.
6 I jedan reèe èovjeku obuèenome u platno, koji stajaše nad vodom u rijeci: kad æe biti kraj tijem èudesima?
One of them [called to] the other one, who was wearing linen/white clothes, who was now standing further up (OR, above) the river, “How long will it be until these amazing/frightening events end?”
7 I èuh èovjeka obuèenoga u platno, koji stajaše nad vodom u rijeci, i podiže desnicu svoju i ljevicu svoju k nebu, i zakle se onijem koji živi uvijek da æe se sve ovo ispuniti po vremenu, po vremenima i po po vremena, i kad se svrši rasap sile svetoga naroda.
The angel who was on the other side of (OR, above) the river raised his hands toward the sky, and solemnly promised, with the authority [MTY] of God, who lives forever, “It will be three and a half years. All these things will end after God’s people stop fighting against those who (persecute/cause trouble for/cause suffering for) them.”
8 I ja èuh ali ne razumjeh; i rekoh: gospodaru moj, kakav æe biti kraj tome?
I heard [what he said], but I did not understand it. So I asked, “Sir, what will be the result when these things end?”
9 A on reèe: idi Danilo, jer su zatvorene i zapeèaæene ove rijeèi do pošljednjega vremena.
He replied, “Daniel, you must leave now. [I cannot answer your question] because what it means must (be kept secret/not be revealed) [DOU] until the time when everything ends.
10 Mnogi æe se oèistiti, ubijeliti i okušati; a bezbožnici æe raditi bezbožno, niti æe koji bezbožnik razumjeti; ali æe razumni razumjeti.
Many people will thoroughly purify their inner beings [DOU]. But wicked people will not understand these things. They will continue to be wicked. Only those who are wise will understand [these things].
11 A od vremena kad se ukine žrtva vazdašnja i postavi gnusoba pustošna, biæe tisuæa i dvjesta i devedeset dana.
[But I can tell you that before everything ends, ] there will be 1,290 days, from the time that people are prevented from offering sacrifices each day, that is, from the time that the abominable/disgusting thing is put in the temple.
12 Blago onome koji pretrpi i doèeka tisuæu i tri stotine i trideset i pet dana.
God will be pleased with those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are ended.
13 A ti idi ka kraju; i poèivaæeš i ostaæeš na dijelu svom do svršetka svojih dana.
So [now I say] to you, continue to faithfully [trust God] until [your life on earth] ends. You will die [EUP], but when everything ends, you will receive your reward [from God].”
