Danilo 5
1 Car Valtasar uèini veliku gozbu tisuæi knezova svojih, i pijaše vino pred tisuæom njih.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2 Napiv se vina Valtasar zapovjedi da se donesu sudovi zlatni i srebrni, koje bješe odnio Navuhodonosor otac mu iz crkve Jerusalimske, da iz njih piju car i knezovi mu, i žene njegove i inoèe njegove.
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from there.
3 I donesoše zlatne sudove koje bjehu odnijeli iz crkve doma Gospodnjega u Jerusalimu, i pijahu iz njih car i knezovi njegovi, žene njegove i inoèe njegove;
Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem. And the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.
4 Pijahu vino, i hvaljahu bogove zlatne i srebrne i mjedene i drvene i kamene.
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5 U taj èas izidoše prsti ruke èovjeèije, i pisahu prema svijetnjaku po okreèenom zidu od carskoga dvora, i car vidje ruku koja pisaše.
In the same hour the fingers of a man's hand came forth, and wrote opposite the lampstand upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace. And the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Tada se promijeni lice caru, i misli ga njegove uznemiriše, i pojas se oko njega raspasa i koljena mu udarahu jedno o drugo.
Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him. And the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
7 Povika car iza glasa; te dovedoše zvjezdare, Haldeje i gatare; i progovori car i reèe mudarcima Vavilonskim: ko proèita ovo pismo i kaže mi što znaèi, onaj æe se obuæi u skerlet, i nosiæe zlatnu verižicu o vratu, i biæe treæi gospodar u carstvu.
The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation of it, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
8 Tada pristupiše svi mudarci carevi; ali ne mogoše proèitati pisma niti kazati caru što znaèi.
Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
9 Tada se car Valtasar vrlo uznemiri i lice mu se sasvijem izmijeni; i knezovi se njegovi prepadoše.
Then king Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
10 Doðe carica radi toga što se dogodi caru i knezovima njegovijem u kuæu gdje bješe gozba, i progovori carica i reèe: care, da si živ dovijeka! da te ne uznemiruju misli tvoje i da ti se lice ne mijenja.
Now the queen came into the banquet house because of the words of the king and his lords. The queen spoke and said, O king, live forever. Let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed.
11 Ima èovjek u tvom carstvu, u kom je duh svetijeh bogova; i u vrijeme oca tvojega naðe se u njega vidjelo i razum i mudrost, kakova je u bogova, i car Navuhodonosor otac tvoj, care, postavi ga glavarem vraèarima, zvjezdarima, Haldejima i gatarima;
There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. And in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. And the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers,
12 Jer velik duh i znanje i razum za kazivanje sanova i pogaðanje zagonetaka i razmršivanje zamršenijeh stvari naðe se u Danila, kojemu car nadje ime Valtasar; neka sada dozovu Danila, i on æe kazati što znaèi.
inasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.
13 Tada Danilo bi doveden pred cara. Car progovori Danilu i reèe: jesi li ti Danilo izmeðu roblja Judina koje dovede iz Judejske car otac moj?
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Are thou that Daniel, who are of the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of Judah?
14 Èuh za tebe da je duh svetijeh bogova u tebi, i vidjelo i razum i mudrost velika da se naðe u tebe.
I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in thee.
15 A sada su dovedeni preda me mudarci, zvjezdari, da proèitaju pismo i kažu mi što znaèi; ali ne mogu da kažu što to znaèi.
And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it, but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.
16 A za tebe ja èuh da možeš protumaèiti, i zamršene stvari razmrsiti. Ako dakle možeš proèitati ovo pismo i kazati mi što znaèi, obuæi æeš se u skerlet, i zlatnu verižicu nosiæeš o vratu, i biæeš treæi gospodar u carstvu.
But I have heard of thee, that thou can give interpretations, and dissolve doubts. Now if thou can read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it, thou shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
17 Tada odgovori Danilo i reèe pred carem: darovi tvoji neka tebi, i podaj drugomu poklone svoje; a pismo æu ja proèitati caru i kazati što znaèi.
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another. Nevertheless I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 Care, Bog višnji dade carstvo i velièinu i slavu i èast Navuhodonosoru ocu tvojemu.
O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom and greatness and glory and majesty.
19 I od velièine koju mu dade svi narodi, plemena i jezici drktahu pred njim i bojahu ga se; ubijaše koga hoæaše, i ostavljaše u životu koga hoæaše, uzvišivaše koga hoæaše, i poniživaše koga hoæaše.
And because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he wanted, he killed, and whom he wanted, he kept alive, and whom he wanted, he raised up, and whom he wanted, he put down.
20 Ali kada mu se podiže srce i duh mu se posili u oholosti, bi smetnut s carskoga prijestola svojega, i uzeše mu slavu.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne. And they took his glory from him,
21 I bi prognan izmeðu ljudi i srce mu posta kao u zvijeri, i stan mu bijaše s divljim magarcima, hraniše ga travom kao goveda, i rosa nebeska kvasi mu tijelo, dokle pozna da Bog višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim, i koga hoæe postavlja nad njim.
and he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
22 A ti, Valtasare, sine njegov, nijesi ponizio srca svojega premda si znao sve ovo.
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled thy heart, though thou knew all this,
23 Nego si se podigao na Gospoda nebeskoga, i sudove doma njegova donesoše preda te, i piste iz njih vino ti i knezovi tvoji, žene tvoje i inoèe tvoje, i ti hvali bogove srebrne i zlatne, mjedene, gvozdene, drvene i kamene, koji ne vide niti èuju niti razumiju, a ne slavi Boga, u èijoj je ruci duša tvoja i svi putovi tvoji.
but have lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them. And thou have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know. And the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, thou have not glorified.
24 Zato od njega bi poslana ruka i ovo pismo bi napisano.
Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 A ovo je pismo napisano: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UFARSIN.
And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 A ovo znaèe te rijeèi: MENE, brojio je Bog tvoje carstvo, i do kraja izbrojio.
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God has numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27 TEKEL, izmjeren si na mjerila, i našao si se lak.
TEKEL, thou are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 FERES, razdijeljeno je carstvo tvoje, i dano Midijanima i Persijanima.
PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Tada zapovjedi Valtasar, te obukoše Danila u skerlet, i metnuše mu zlatnu verižicu oko vrata, i proglasiše za nj da je treæi gospodar u carstvu.
Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Istu noæ bi ubijen Valtasar car Haldejski.
In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.
31 A Darije Midijanin preuze carstvo, i bješe mu oko šezdeset i dvije godine.
And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
