Danilo 5
1 Car Valtasar uèini veliku gozbu tisuæi knezova svojih, i pijaše vino pred tisuæom njih.
King Belshazzar prepared a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and before these thousand did he drink wine.
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 ordered, through the counsel of the wine, to bring in the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken away out of the temple which was in Jerusalem: that the king, and his lords, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therefrom.
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 in the golden vessels that were taken away 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 their gods of gold, and of silver, of copper, 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.
At that same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote opposite to the chandelier 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 was the king's color changed, and his thoughts troubled him: so that the bands of his loins were loosed, and his knees knocked one against the other.
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 called with might to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king commenced, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whatsoever man will read this writing, and tell me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall rule as the third in the kingdom.
8 Tada pristupiše svi mudarci carevi; ali ne mogoše proèitati pisma niti kazati caru što znaèi.
Then came in all the wise men of the king; but they were not able to read the writing, nor to make its interpretation known to the king.
9 Tada se car Valtasar vrlo uznemiri i lice mu se sasvijem izmijeni; i knezovi se njegovi prepadoše.
Then was king Belshazzar greatly terrified, and his color was changed on him, and his lords were confounded.
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 in consequence of the words of the king and of his lords came into the banquet-house; the queen commenced and said, O king, live for ever; let thy thoughts not trouble thee, nor let thy color 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 enlightenment and intelligence and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him: and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father appointed him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers: —yes, thy father, O king.—
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.
Forasmuch as a superior spirit, and knowledge, and intelligence, interpreting of dreams, and solving of riddles, and of untying knotty [doubts], were found in him, in Daniel, to whom the king assigned the name of Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will tell 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 was Daniel brought in before the king: the king commenced and said unto Daniel, Art thou Daniel, who art of the children of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father 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.
And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that enlightenment and intelligence and superior 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 astrologers, had been brought before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me its interpretation; but they were not able to tell the interpretation of the matter.
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 truly heard concerning thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and untie knotty [doubts]: now if thou art able to read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, thou shalt be clothed with purple, with a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt rule as the third 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 answered Daniel and said before the king, Let thy gifts remain in thy possession, and bestow thy bounty on another: nevertheless will I read the writing unto 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 kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father;
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 had given unto him, all people, nations, and languages trembled and shook before him: whom he pleased he slew; and whom he pleased he kept alive; and whom he pleased he lifted up; and whom he pleased he brought low.
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 hardened to deal presumptuously, he was cast down from the throne of his kingdom, and his dignity did they take 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 from the sons of men was he driven forth, and his heart became equal with [that of] the beasts, and with the wild asses was his dwelling; they suffered him to eat herbs like oxen, and with the dew of heaven was his body made wet: till he acknowledged that the most high God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he pleaseth.
22 A ti, Valtasare, sine njegov, nijesi ponizio srca svojega premda si znao sve ovo.
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest 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 against the Lord of heaven hast thou lifted thyself up; and the vessels of his house have they brought before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and the gods of silver, and gold, of copper, iron, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know, hast thou praised; and the God in whose hand thy soul is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
24 Zato od njega bi poslana ruka i ovo pismo bi napisano.
Thereupon was sent from before him the part of the hand, and this writing was noted down.
25 A ovo je pismo napisano: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UFARSIN.
And this is the writing that was noted down, M'ne, M'ne, T'kel, Upharsin.
26 A ovo znaèe te rijeèi: MENE, brojio je Bog tvoje carstvo, i do kraja izbrojio.
This the interpretation of the matter: M'ne, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and made an end of it.
27 TEKEL, izmjeren si na mjerila, i našao si se lak.
T'kel, Thou least been weighed in the balances, and been found wanting.
28 FERES, razdijeljeno je carstvo tvoje, i dano Midijanima i Persijanima.
P'ress; Thy kingdom hath been divided, and is 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 gave Belshazzar the order, and they clothed Daniel with purple, with a chain of gold about his neck, and they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should rule as the third in the kingdom.
30 Istu noæ bi ubijen Valtasar car Haldejski.
In that very night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 A Darije Midijanin preuze carstvo, i bješe mu oko šezdeset i dvije godine.
And Darius the Median obtained the kingdom, when he was sixty and two years old.
