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 spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove 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, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the 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 the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they 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 back 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 brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: 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 little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of 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 the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] 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 then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12 I ostalijem zvijerima uze se vlast, jer duljina životu bješe im odreðena do vremena i do roka.
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and 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, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him 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 people, 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.
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of [my] body, and the visions of my head troubled 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 of 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, [which] 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 take 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 would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his 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 of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look [was] more stout than his 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 to the saints of the most High; and the time came that 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 the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all 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 the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue 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 [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 Potom æe sjesti sud, i uzeæe mu se vlast, te æe se istrijebiti i zatrti sasvijem.
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy [it] 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 dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
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.
Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
