Danilo 2

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

And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, whereat his spirit was troubled, and his sleep that was upon him was gone.

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

Then said the king to call the magicians, and the astrologers and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to solve for the king his dreams: and they came and placed themselves before the king.

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

And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

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

Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in Aramic, O king, live for ever: recite the dream to thy servants, and we will tell the interpretation.

5 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.

The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The decree is firmly resolved on by me: If ye do not make known unto me the dream with its interpretation, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be changed into a dunghill.

6 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.

But if ye tell the dream and its interpretation, then shall ye receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore tell me the dream and its interpretation.

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

They answered the second time and said, Let the king recite the dream to his servants, and we will tell its interpretation.

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

The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye wish to gain time, because ye see the decree is firmly resolved on by me:

9 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.

That if ye do not make known unto me the dream, there is but one sentence for you; for ye have prepared lying and deceptive words to speak before me, till the time be changed. Therefore relate to me the dream, and I shall know that ye can tell me its interpretation.

10 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.

The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the habitable earth that can tell the king's matter: wherefore no mighty and powerful king ever hath asked such a thing of any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

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

And the matter which the king requireth is difficult, and there is no other that can tell it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

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

For all this cause the king became angry, and very furious; and he commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

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

And the law went forth and [some of] the wise men were slain: and they sought Daniel and his companions to slay them.

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

Then made Daniel representations with intelligence and prudence to Aryoch the captain of the king's guard, who was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.

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

He commenced and said to Aryoch the king's commander, Wherefore is the law so hasty from the king? Then made Aryoch the matter known to Daniel.

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

But Daniel went in, and requested of the king that he would give him time, that he might tell the interpretation to the king.

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

Then went Daniel to his house, and made the matter known to Chananyah, Mishael, and 'Azaryah, his companions.

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

In order that they might pray for mercy of the God of heaven concerning this secret: so that Daniel and his companions might not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

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

Thereupon was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night. Then did Daniel bless the God of heaven.

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

Daniel commenced and said, May the name of God be blessed from eternity and to all eternity; for wisdom and might are his;

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

And he changeth times and seasons; he removeth kings, and raiseth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to those that possess understanding.

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

He it is that revealeth what is deep and secret; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

23 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.

To thee, O God of my father, do I give thanks, and I praise thee, who hast given me wisdom and might, and because thou hast made known unto me what we prayed for of thee; for thou hast made known unto us the king's matter.

24 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.

Therefore did Daniel go in unto Aryoch, whom the king had ordered to destroy the wise men of Babylon, He went and said thus unto him, the wise men of Babylon must thou not destroy: bring me before the king, and I will tell unto the king the interpretation.

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

Then did Aryoch bring Daniel before the king in haste, and thus he said unto him, Here have I found a man out of the children of the exiles of Judah, who will make known unto the king the interpretation.

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

The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?

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

Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded no wise men, astrologers, magicians, or soothsayers, can tell unto the king;

28 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:

But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar what is to be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy couch, were these.

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

As for thee, O king, thy thoughts, when thou wast on thy couch, rose [within thee] concerning what is to come to pass hereafter; and the Revealer of secrets hath made known to thee what is to come to pass.

30 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.

But as for me, this secret hath not been revealed to me because of any wisdom that is in me more than in all other living; but for the sake that men might make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest understand the thoughts of thy heart.

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

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold there was a large image; this image was mighty, and its brightness was excellent; it stood opposite to thee; and its form was fear-inspiring.

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

As regardeth this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its belly and its thighs of copper,

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

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

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

Thou didst look on till the moment that a stone tore itself loose, not through [human] hands, and it struck the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and ground them to pieces.

35 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.

Then were the iron, the clay, the copper, the silver, and the gold ground up together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no trace was found of them; and the stone that had stricken the image became a mighty mountain, and filled the whole earth.

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

This is the dream; and its interpretation will we relate before the king.

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

Thou, O king, art a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven hath given kingdom, power, and strength, and honor:

38 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.

And wheresoever the children of men dwell, hath he given the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art the head of gold.

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

And after thee there will arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of copper, which will bear rule over all the earth.

40 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.

And the fourth kingdom will be as strong as iron; forasmuch as iron grindeth up and beateth down all things, and as iron that breaketh [every thing], will it grind up and break all these.

41 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.

And that thou sawest the feet and toes, and part of them of potter's clay, and part of them of iron, [signifieth] that it will be a divided kingdom, although there will be in it of the strength of the iron; forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mingled with miry clay.

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

And as the toes of the feet were part of them of iron, and part of them of clay: so will the kingdom be partly strong and partly brittle.

43 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.

And whereas thou sawest iron mingled with miry clay: so will they mingle themselves among the seed of men; but they will not cleave firmly one to another, even as iron cannot be mingled with clay.

44 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,

But in the days of these kings will the God of heaven set up a kingdom: which shall to eternity not be destroyed, and its rule shall not be transferred to any other people; [but] it will grind up and make an end of all these kingdoms, while it will itself endure for ever.

45 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.

Whereas thou sawest that out of the mountain a stone tore itself loose, not through [human] hands, and that it ground up the iron, the copper, the clay, the silver, and the gold: the great God hath made known to the king what is to come to pass after this. And the dream is reliable, and its interpretation certain.

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

Then did king Nebuchadnezzar fall upon his face, and he bowed down to Daniel, and ordered that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him.

47 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.

The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and the revealer of secrets; because thou hast been able to reveal this secret.

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

Then did the king elevate Daniel, and gave him many great presents, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the superintendents over all the wise men of Babylon.

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

Then requested Daniel of the king, that he might appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and 'Abed-nego, over the public service of the province of Babylon; but Daniel remained in the gate of the king.
