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, —and his spirit, was troubled, and, his sleep, had gone from him.

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

So the king gave word to call for the sacred scribes and for the magicians, and for the users of incantations, and for the Chaldeans, that they might tell the king his dreams, —they came in therefore, and stood 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 to them, A dream, have I dreamed, —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 spake the Chaldeans to the king, in Aramaic, —O king, to the ages, live! Tell the dream to thy servants, and, the interpretation, we will declare.

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 word from me, is unalterable: If ye shall not make known to me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and, your houses, into a dunghill, shall be turned;

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, the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye will declare, gifts and a present and great dignity, shall ye receive from before me, —therefore, the dream and the interpretation thereof, declare ye unto me.

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

They answered again and said, —Let, the king, tell, the dream, to his servants, and, the interpretation thereof, we will declare.

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

The king answered and said, Of a certainty, I know, that, time, ye, would gain, —merely because ye see that, unalterable, from me, is the word:

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, the dream, ye shall not make known to me, one and the same, is the decree, and, a lying and wicked word, have ye agreed to speak before me, that meanwhile the time may be changed, —therefore, the dream, tell ye me, so shall I know that, the interpretation thereof, ye can declare for me.

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 earth, who can declare, the matter of the king, —although indeed, there is no king, chief ruler who, a thing like this, hath asked of any sacred scribe or magician 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 thing which the king hath asked, is difficult, and, none other, is there, who can declare it before the king, —saving 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 this cause, the king, was provoked and exceedingly indignant, —and gave word 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 decree, went forth, that, the wise men, should be slain, —and they sought Daniel and his companions that they might be slain.

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

Immediately, Daniel, made answer with prudence and discretion, to Arioch, chief of the executioners of the king, —who had come 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 began to speak and said to Arioch the king’s captain, —For what cause, is the decree raging forth from before the king? Then did Arioch make the matter known unto Daniel.

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

So Daniel entered in, and desired of the king, —that, an appointed time, he would give him, and then, the interpretation, he would declare unto the king.

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

Then Daniel, to his own house, departed, —and, to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, made the matter known;

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

that, tender compassion, they might seek from before the God of the heavens, concerning this secret, —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.

Then, unto Daniel—in a vision of the night, the secret was revealed, —whereupon, Daniel, blessed the God of the heavens:

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

Daniel responded, and said, Let the name of God be blessed from age to age, —in that wisdom and might, to him belong;

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

And, he, changeth times and seasons, removeth kings, and setteth up kings, —giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them who are skilled in understanding:

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

He, revealeth the deep things, and the hidden, —knoweth what is in the darkness, and, light, with him, doth dwell.

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.

Unto the, O God of my fathers, do I render thanks and praise, in that, wisdom and might, thou hast given unto me, —yea, already, hast thou made known to me that which we desired of thee, for, the matter of the king, hast thou made known unto us.

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, Daniel entered in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, —he went in, and, thus, he said unto him, The wise men of Babylon, do not thou destroy, bring me in before the king, and, the interpretation—unto the king, will I declare.

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

Thereupon, Arioch—with haste, brought in Daniel before the king, —and, thus, he said to him—I have found a man of the sons of the exile of Judah, who, the interpretation—unto the king, will make known.

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 unto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, —Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

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

Daniel answered before the king, and said, —The secret which the king hath asked, the wise men, the magicians, the sacred scribes, the astrologers, are not able to declare 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 the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and hath made known to King Nebuchadnezzar, what shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days: Thy dream and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are, 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 upon thy bed, arose regarding what should come to pass hereafter; and, he that revealeth secrets, made known to thee what shall 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—not for any wisdom that is in me, more than any of the living, is, this secret, revealed to me, —therefore, it is in order that, the interpretation—unto the king, they should make known, and that, the thoughts of thy heart, thou shouldst get to know.

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

As for thee, O king, thou wast looking, when lo! a great image, this image, being mighty, and the brightness thereof surpassing, was standing before thee, —and, the appearance thereof, was terrible.

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

As for this image, its head, was of fine gold, its breast and its arms, were of silver, —its belly and its thighs, of bronze;

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

its legs, of iron, —and, 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, until that a stone tare itself away, not by the aid of hands, and smote the image upon its feet, which were of iron and clay, —and they were broken in 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 broken in pieces at once, the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and became like chaff out of the summer threshing-floors, and the wind, carried them away, and, no place, was found for them, —but, the stone that smote the image, became a mighty rock, and filled all the land.

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

This, is the dream, and, the interpretation thereof, we will tell 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 the king of kings, —for, the God of the heavens, hath given unto thee, the kingship, the might, the power and the dignity;

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 sons of men do dwell, the wild beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, hath he given 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, shall arise another kingdom, inferior to thee, —and another—a third kingdom, of bronze, which shall bear rule throughout 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, shall be hard as iron, —in like manner as iron breaketh in pieces and crusheth all things, —even as iron which bringeth to ruins all these, shall it break in pieces and bring to ruins.

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, whereas thou sawest the feet and the toes, part of them of potter’s clay, and part of them of iron, the kingdom, shall be, divided, and, of the hardness of the iron, shall there be in it, —forasmuch as thou sawest, the iron, combined with the miry clay;

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

and, the toes of the feet, part of them, iron, and, part, of clay, —some part of the kingdom, shall be strong, but, a part thereof, shall be 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, the iron, combined with the miry clay, they shall be combined with the seed of men, but shall not cleave firmly one to another, —lo! as iron is not to be combined 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,

And, in the days of those kings, shall the God of the heavens, set up, a kingdom which, to the ages, shall not be destroyed, and, the kingdom, to another people, shall not be left, —it shall break in pieces and make an end of all these kingdoms, but, itself, shall stand to the ages.

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.

Forasmuch as thou sawest that, out of the rock, a stone tare itself away, but not with hands, and brake in pieces the clay, the iron, the bronze, the silver and the gold, the mighty God, hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. Exact then is the dream, and trusty its interpretation.

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

Then, King Nebuchadnezzar, fell upon his face, and, unto Daniel, paid adoration; and, a present and sweet odours, gave he word to pour out 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 Daniel, and said—Of a truth, your God, is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a Revealer of secrets, —seeing thou wast 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, the king, exalted, Daniel, and, many large presents, gave he unto him, and set him to be ruler over all the province of Babylon, —and chief of the nobles, 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.

And, Daniel, desired of the king, and he appointed—over the business of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —but, Daniel himself, was in the gate of the king.
