Danilo 7
1 Prve godine Valtasara cara Vavilonskoga usni Danilo san i vidje utvaru glave svoje na postelji; tada napisa san i pripovjedi ukratko.
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed; then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
2 Danilo progovori i reèe: vidjeh u utvari svojoj noæu, a to èetiri vjetra nebeska udariše se na velikom moru.
Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven broke forth upon the great sea.
3 I èetiri velike zvijeri izidoše iz mora, svaka drugaèija.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4 Prva bijaše kao lav, i imaše krila orlova; gledah dokle joj se krila poskuboše i podiže se sa zemlje i stade na noge kao èovjek, i srce ljudsko dade joj se.
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings; I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 Potom, gle, druga zvijer bijaše kao medvjed, i stade s jedne strane, i imaše tri rebra u ustima meðu zubima svojim, i govoraše joj se: ustani, jedi mnogo mesa.
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was said thus unto it: 'Arise, devour much flesh.'
6 Potom vidjeh, i gle, druga, kao ris, imaše na leðima èetiri krila kao ptica, i èetiri glave imaše zvijer, i dade joj se vlast.
After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the sides of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 Potom vidjeh u utvarama noænijem, i gle, èetvrta zvijer, koje se trebaše bojati, strašna i vrlo jaka, i imaše velike zube gvozdene, jeðaše i satiraše, i gažaše nogama ostatak, i razlikovaše se od svijeh zvijeri preðašnjih, i imaše deset rogova.
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 Gledah rogove, i gle, drugi mali rog izraste meðu onijema, i tri prva roga išèupaše se pred njim; i gle, oèi kao oèi èovjeèije bjehu na tom rogu, i usta koja govorahu velike stvari.
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 Gledah dokle se postaviše prijestoli, i starac sjede, na kom bješe odijelo bijelo kao snijeg, i kosa na glavi kao èista vuna, prijesto mu bijaše kao plamen ognjeni, toèkovi mu kao oganj razgorio.
I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was as white snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fire.
10 Rijeka ognjena izlažaše i tecijaše ispred njega, tisuæa tisuæa služaše mu, i deset tisuæa po deset tisuæa stajahu pred njim; sud sjede, i knjige se otvoriše.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11 Tada gledah radi glasa velikih rijeèi koje govoraše onaj rog; i gledah dokle ne bi ubijena zvijer i tijelo joj se rašèini i dade se da izgori ognjem.
I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke, I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
12 I ostalijem zvijerima uze se vlast, jer duljina životu bješe im odreðena do vremena i do roka.
And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 Vidjeh u utvarama noænijem, i gle, kao sin èovjeèji iðaše s oblacima nebeskim, i doðe do starca i stade pred njim.
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before Him.
14 I dade mu se vlast i slava i carstvo da mu služe svi narodi i plemena i jezici; vlast je njegova vlast vjeèna, koja neæe proæi, i carstvo se njegovo neæe rasuti.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
15 Meni Danilu prenemože duh moj u tijelu mom, i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.
As for me Daniel, my spirit was pained in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head affrighted me.
16 Pristupih k jednome od onijeh koji stajahu ondje, i zamolih ga za istinu od svega toga. I progovori mi i kaza mi šta to znaèi:
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
17 Ove èetiri velike zvijeri jesu èetiri cara, koji æe nastati na zemlji.
'These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.
18 Ali æe sveci višnjega preuzeti carstvo, i držaæe carstvo navijek i dovijeka.
But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.'
19 Tada zaželjeh znati istinu o èetvrtoj zvijeri, koja se razlikovaše od svijeh i bijaše vrlo strašna, i imaše zube gvozdene i nokte mjedene, i jeðaše i satiraše, a ostatak nogama gažaše,
Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
20 I o deset rogova što joj bjehu na glavi, i o drugom koji izraste i tri otpadoše pred njim, o rogu koji imaše oèi i usta koja govorahu velike stvari i bijaše po viðenju veæi od drugih.
and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell; even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose appearance was greater than that of its fellows.
21 Gledah, i taj rog vojevaše sa svecima i nadvlaðivaše ih,
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Dokle doðe starac, i dade se sud svecima višnjega, i prispje vrijeme da sveci preuzmu carstvo.
until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High; and the time came, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Ovako reèe: èetvrta zvijer biæe èetvrto carstvo na zemlji, koje æe se razlikovati od svijeh carstava, i izješæe svu zemlju i pogaziti i satrti.
Thus he said: 'The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 I deset rogova jesu deset careva, koji æe nastati iz toga carstva, a poslije njih nastaæe drugi, i on æe se razlikovati od preðašnjih, i pokoriæe tri cara.
And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
25 I govoriæe rijeèi na višnjega, i potiraæe svece višnjega, i pomišljaæe da promijeni vremena i zakone; i daæe mu se u ruke za vrijeme i za vremena i za po vremena.
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
26 Potom æe sjesti sud, i uzeæe mu se vlast, te æe se istrijebiti i zatrti sasvijem.
But the judgment shall sit, and his dominions shall be taken away, to be consumed and to be destroy unto the end.
27 A carstvo i vlast i velièanstvo carsko pod svijem nebom daæe se narodu svetaca višnjega; njegovo æe carstvo biti vjeèno carstvo, i sve æe vlasti njemu služiti i slušati ga.
And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'
28 Ovdje je kraj ovoj rijeèi. A mene Danila vrlo uznemiriše misli moje, i lice mi se sve promijeni; ali rijeè saèuvah u srcu svom.
Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much affrighted me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.
