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 the king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and the visions of his head while on his couch: afterward he wrote down the dream, relating the principal things.
2 Danilo progovori i reèe: vidjeh u utvari svojoj noæu, a to èetiri vjetra nebeska udariše se na velikom moru.
Daniel commenced and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven blew fiercely on the great sea.
3 I èetiri velike zvijeri izidoše iz mora, svaka drugaèija.
And four great beasts came up from the sea, differing 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 looked till its wings were plucked out, and it was lifted up from the earth, and was placed upon its feet as a man, and a human 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 there was another, a second beast, like a bear, and on one side was it placed, with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth: and thus they said unto it, Arise, eat 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 looked, and lo there was another, like a leopard; and it had four wings of a bird on its back: the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given unto 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 looked in the night visions, and behold there was a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and ground up, and what was left it stamped with its feet; and it was different 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 looked carefully at the horns, and, behold, another little horn came up between them, and three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots before the same; and, behold, there were eyes like the eyes of man in this horn, with a mouth speaking presumptuous 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 was looking until chairs were set down, and an Ancient of days seated himself, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of whose head was like clean wool; his chair was like flames of fire, and his wheels like fire that burnt;
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 stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand times thousands ministered unto him, and myriad times myriads stood before him: they sat down to hold judgment, 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 looked then, because of the sound of the presumptuous words which the horn had spoken, —I looked till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and given over to the burning fire.
12 I ostalijem zvijerima uze se vlast, jer duljina životu bješe im odreðena do vremena i do roka.
But concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet a longer duration of life was given unto them until the time and period.
13 Vidjeh u utvarama noænijem, i gle, kao sin èovjeèji iðaše s oblacima nebeskim, i doðe do starca i stade pred njim.
I looked in the nightly visions, and, behold, with the clouds of heaven came one like a son of man, and he attained as far as 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 were given him dominion, and dignity, and government, and all people, nations, and languages had to serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom is one which shall never be destroyed.
15 Meni Danilu prenemože duh moj u tijelu mom, i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.
My spirit was deeply shaken within me, Daniel, in the midst of its tenement, 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 those that stood by, and asked him something certain concerning all this: and he spoke to me, and made known unto me the interpretation of the things.
17 Ove èetiri velike zvijeri jesu èetiri cara, koji æe nastati na zemlji.
These great beasts, of which there are four, are four kings, who are to arise on the earth.
18 Ali æe sveci višnjega preuzeti carstvo, i držaæe carstvo navijek i dovijeka.
But the saints of the Most High will obtain the kingdom, and possess the kingdom to eternity, even to all eternity for 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 what is certain concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all these others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and whose nails of copper; which devoured, ground up, and stamped with its feet what was left;
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 in its head, and concerning the other which came up, and before which three fell down, even concerning that horn which had eyes, and a mouth which spoke presumptuous things, and whose appearance was greater than that of its companions.
21 Gledah, i taj rog vojevaše sa svecima i nadvlaðivaše ih,
I had seen how the same horn had made war with the saints, and had 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 procured justice unto the saints of the Most High; and the time came and the saints took possession of 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 said he, The fourth beast [signifieth that] a fourth kingdom will be upon earth, which is to be different from all kingdoms, and will devour all the earth, and will tread it down, and grind it up.
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 [signify] that ten kings will arise; and another will rise after them, and he will be different from the first, and three kings will he bring low.
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 will speak words against the Most High, and the saints of the Most High will he oppress, and think to change the festivals and the law: and they will be given up 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 they will sit down to hold judgment, and they will take away his dominion, to destroy and to annihilate 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 the dominion, and the power over the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all governments are to worship 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.
Thus far is the end of the speech. As for me Daniel, my reflections troubled me greatly, and my color was changed on me; but I kept the speech in my heart.
