Књига пророка Данила 10
1 Треће године Кира, цара персијског, објави се реч Данилу, који се зваше Валтасар; и реч беше истинита и о великим стварима; и разабра реч и разуме утвару.
In the third year of Koresh king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true: a great war. And he understood the word, and had understanding of the vision.
2 У то време ја Данило бејах у жалости три недеље дана.
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.
3 Јела угодна не једох, ни месо ни вино не уђе у моја уста, нити се намазах уљем док се не навршише три недеље дана.
I had no pleasing food, neither meat nor wine came into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 А двадесет четвртог дана првог месеца бејах на брегу велике реке Хидекела.
In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is the Tigris,
5 И подигох очи своје и видех, а то један човек обучен у платно, и појас беше око њега од чистог злата из Уфаза;
I lifted up my eyes and looked, and look, a man clothed in linen, around his waist a belt made of pure gold from Uphaz.
6 А тело му беше као хрисолит, и лице му као муња, а очи му као лучеви запаљени, а руке и ноге као бронза углађена, а глас од речи његових као глас многог људства.
His body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.
7 И ја Данило сам видех утвару, а људи што беху са мном не видеше је, али их попаде страх велик, те побегоше и сакрише се.
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great trembling fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
8 И остах сам и видех ту велику утвару, и не оста снаге у мени, и лепота ми се нагрди, и не имах снаге.
So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
9 И чух глас од речи његових, и кад чух глас од речи његових, изван себе падох ничице лицем на земљу.
Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
10 И гле, рука ме се дотаче и подиже ме на колена моја и на дланове моје.
Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
11 И рече ми: Данило, мили човече! Слушај речи које ћу ти казати, и стани право, јер сам сада послан к теби. И кад ми рече ту реч, устах дрхћући.
He said to me, "Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 И рече ми: Не бој се, Данило, јер првог дана кад си управио срце своје да разумеваш и да мучиш себе пред Богом својим, услишене бише речи твоје, и ја дођох твојих речи ради.
Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
13 Али кнез царства персијског стаја ми насупрот двадесет и један дан; али, гле, Михаило један од првих кнезова дође ми у помоћ; тако ја остах онде код царева персијских.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia.
14 И дођох да ти кажем шта ће бити твом народу после; јер ће још бити утвара за те дане.
Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision refers to future days."
15 И кад ми говораше тако, оборих очи своје на земљу и занемех.
And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground, and could not speak.
16 И гле, као човек дотаче се усана мојих, и отворих уста своја, и проговорих и рекох оном који стајаше према мени: Господару мој, од ове утваре навалише моји болови на мене и нема снаге у мени.
And look, something like a man's hand touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, "My lord, it is because of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have no strength.
17 А како може слуга мог господара говорити с господарем мојим? Јер од овог часа у мени неста снаге и ни дихање не оста у мени.
For how can this servant of my lord talk with my lord? As for me, no strength remains, and I am breathless."
18 Тада онај што беше као човек опет ме се дотаче и охрабри ме.
Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again and strengthened me.
19 И рече: Не бој се, мили човече; мир да ти је! Охрабри се, охрабри се. И докле ми говораше, охрабрих се и рекох: Нека говори господар мој, јер си ме охрабрио.
And he said, "Greatly loved man, do not be afraid, peace be to you; be strong, be strong." When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."
20 А он рече: Знаш ли зашто сам дошао к теби? А сада ћу се вратити да војујем на кнеза персијског; потом ћу отићи, и гле, доћи ће кнез грчки.
Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, look, the prince of Greece shall come.
21 Али ћу ти казати шта је написано у књизи истинитој. Нема никога да јуначки ради са мном у том осим Михаила, кнеза вашег.
But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the Book of Truth. And there is no one who contends with me against them except Michael, your prince."
