Danilo 8
1 Treæe godine carovanja Valtasarova pokaza se meni Danilu utvara poslije one koja mi se pokazala prije.
In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, I, Daniel, had a vision appear to me (after the one that appeared to me at first).
2 I vidjeh u utvari; a bjeh u Susanu u gradu koji je u zemlji Elamu, kad vidjeh, i vidjeh u utvari i bjeh na vodi Ulaju.
I saw in the vision, as I was looking, that I was in the fortress of Susa in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
3 I podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, stajaše kraj vode ovan, koji imaše dva roga, a rogovi bjehu visoki, ali jedan viši od drugoga, i viši naraste poslije.
I looked up and saw before me a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal. One horn was longer than the other, but the longer one grew more slowly than the shorter and was passed up in length by it.
4 Vidjeh ovna gdje bode na zapad i na sjever i na jug, i nijedna zvijer ne mogaše mu odoljeti, i ne bijaše nikoga ko bi izbavio od njega, nego èinjaše što hoæaše, i osili.
I saw the ram charging west, then north, and then south; no other animal could stand before him. None of them was able to rescue anyone out of his hand. He did whatever he wanted, and he became great.
5 A kad ja motrah, gle, iðaše jarac od zapada povrh sve zemlje a ne doticaše se zemlje; i taj jarac imaše rog znamenit meðu oèima svojim.
As I was thinking about this, I saw a male goat come from the west, who went across the surface of the whole earth, running fast, not seeming to touch the ground. The goat had a large horn between his eyes.
6 I doðe do ovna koji imaše dva roga, kojega vidjeh gdje stoji kraj vode, i potrèa na nj gnjevno silom svojom.
He came to the ram who had two horns—I had seen the ram standing on the bank of the canal—and the goat ran toward the ram in a powerful rage.
7 I vidjeh ga gdje doðe do ovna, i razgnjeviv se na nj udari ovna, te mu slomi oba roga i ne bješe sile u ovnu da mu odoli, nego ga obori na zemlju i pogazi ga, i ne bješe nikoga da izbavi ovna od njega.
I saw the goat come close to the ram. He was very angry at the ram, and he hit the ram and broke off its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand before him. The goat knocked him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.
8 I jarac posta vrlo velik; a kad osili, slomi se veliki rog, i mjesto njega narastoše znamenita èetiri roga prema èetiri vjetra nebeska.
Then the goat became very large. But when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in its place four other large horns grew up that pointed toward the four winds of the heavens.
9 I iz jednoga njih izide jedan rog malen i naraste vrlo velik prema jugu i istoku i prema krasnoj zemlji.
Out of one of them grew another horn, little at first, but which became very large in the south, in the east, and in the land of beauty.
10 I naraste dori do vojske nebeske, i obori na zemlju neke od vojske i od zvijezda, i pogazi ih.
It became so large as to engage in war with the army of heaven. Some of that army and some of the stars were thrown down to the earth, and it trampled on them.
11 I naraste dori do poglavara toj vojsci, i uze mu svagdašnju žrtvu, i sveti stan njegov obori.
It made itself to be as great as the commander of the army. It took away from him the regular burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was polluted.
12 I vojska bi dana u otpad od žrtve svagdašnje, i obori istinu na zemlju, i što èinjaše napredovaše mu.
Because of rebellion, the army will be given over to the goat's horn, and the burnt offering will be stopped. The horn will throw truth down to the ground, and it will succeed in what it does.
13 Tada èuh jednoga sveca gdje govoraše, i jedan svetac reèe nekome koji govoraše: dokle æe trajati ta utvara za svagdašnju žrtvu i za otpad pustošni da se gazi svetinja i vojska?
Then I heard a holy one speaking and another holy one answering him, “How long will these things last, this vision about the burnt offering, the sin that brings destruction, the handing over of the sanctuary, and heaven's army being trampled on?”
14 I reèe mi: do dvije tisuæe i tri stotine dana i noæi; onda æe se svetinja oèistiti.
He said to me, “It will last for 2,300 evenings and mornings. After that the sanctuary will be put right.”
15 A kad vidjeh ja Danilo ovu utvaru, i zaiskah da razumijem, gle, stade preda me kao èovjek.
When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I tried to understand it. Then there stood before me one who looked like a man.
16 I èuh glas èovjeèji nasred Ulaja, koji povika i reèe: Gavrilo, kaži ovome utvaru.
I heard a man's voice calling between the banks of the Ulai Canal. He said, “Gabriel, help this man understand the vision.”
17 I doðe gdje ja stajah; i kad doðe uplaših se, i padoh na lice svoje; a on mi reèe: pazi, sine èovjeèji, jer je ova utvara za pošljednje vrijeme.
So he came near where I stood. When he came, I was frightened and prostrated myself on the ground. He said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”
18 A dok mi on govoraše, ja bijah izvan sebe ležeæi nièice na zemlji; a on me se dotaèe, i ispravi me, te stadoh.
When he spoke to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and made me stand up.
19 I reèe: evo, ja æu ti kazati šta æe biti na kraju gnjeva; jer æe u odreðeno vrijeme biti kraj.
He said, “See, I will show you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time for the end.
20 Ovan što si ga vidio, koji ima dva roga, to su carevi Midski i Persijski.
As for the ram you saw, the one that had two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 A runjavi je jarac car Grèki; i veliki rog što mu bješe meðu oèima, to je prvi car.
The male goat is the king of Greece. The large horn between his eyes is the first king.
22 A što se on slomi, i mjesto njega narastoše èetiri, to su èetiri carstva, koja æe nastati iza toga naroda, ali ne s njegovom silom.
As for the horn that was broken, in the place of which four others arose—four kingdoms will arise from his nation, but not with his great power.
23 A na pošljedak carovanja njihova, kad bezakonici navrše mjeru, nastaæe car bestidan i lukav.
At the latter time of those kingdoms, when the transgressors shall have reached their limit, a grim-faced king, one who is very intelligent, will arise.
24 Sila æe mu biti jaka, ali ne od njegove jaèine, i èudesno æe pustošiti, i biæe sreæan i svršivaæe, i gubiæe silne i narod sveti.
His power will be great—but not by his own power. He will be amazing in what he destroys; he will act and succeed. He will destroy powerful people, people among the holy ones.
25 I lukavstvom njegovijem napredovaæe prijevara u njegovoj ruci, i podignuæe se u srcu svom, i u miru æe pogubiti mnoge, i ustaæe na kneza nad knezovima, ali æe se potrti bez ruke.
By his craftiness he will make deceit prosper under his hand. He will become great in his own mind. He will unexpectedly destroy many people. He will even rise up against the King of kings, and he will be broken, but not by any human hand.
26 A reèena utvara o danu i noæi istina je; zato ti zapeèati utvaru, jer je za mnogo vremena.
The vision about the evenings and mornings that has been told is true. But seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future.”
27 Tada ja Danilo zanemogoh, i bolovah neko vrijeme; poslije ustah i vrših poslove careve; i èudih se utvari, ali niko ne dozna.
Then I, Daniel, was overcome and lay weak for several days. Then I got up, and went about the king's business. But I was appalled by the vision, and there was no one who understood it.
