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 Cyrus, king of Persia, was a revelation made to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar; and the revelation is true, and relateth to long warfare. And he gave heed to the revelation, 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 three full 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 ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, till three whole weeks were ended.
4 А двадесет четвртог дана првог месеца бејах на брегу велике реке Хидекела.
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river Hiddekel,
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 behold, a certain man, clothed in linen garments, and his loins girded with gold of 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 chrysolite, and his face had the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like the appearance of polished brass, and the sound of his words was as the shout 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.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision and the men who were with me saw not the vision; but a great terror fell upon 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.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision; and there remained no strength in me, and my color was changed upon me into a deadly paleness, 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.
And I heard the sound of his words; and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell senseless upon my face, and my face toward the ground.
10 И гле, рука ме се дотаче и подиже ме на колена моја и на дланове моје.
And behold, a hand touched me, and lifted me upon my knees and 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.
And he said to me, Daniel, much-beloved man, give heed to the words which I speak to thee, and stand upright! for to thee am I now sent. And when he said this to me, I stood up 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 said he to me, Fear not, Daniel! for from the first day that thou didst set thy mind to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come on account of thy 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 stood up against me one and twenty days; but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left there victorious 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 am come to teach thee what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision yet relates to distant days.
15 И кад ми говораше тако, оборих очи своје на земљу и занемех.
And when he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.
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 behold, one having the appearance of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spake, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my pain came upon me, and I have no strength left.
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.
And how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? And now there remaineth no strength in me, neither is breath left in me.
18 Тада онај што беше као човек опет ме се дотаче и охрабри ме.
Then one having the appearance of a man again touched me 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 said, Fear not, much-beloved man! peace be to thee! be strong, yea, be strong! And while he was speaking with me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast 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, Knowest thou wherefore I have come to thee? And now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia, and I will go forth, and behold, the prince of Greece will 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 show thee what is written in the book of truth. No one putteth forth his strength with me against them but Michael, your prince.
