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 a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, 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 in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
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, which is 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;
Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine 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 also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice 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: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that 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: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, 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 voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then I was in a deep sleep on 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, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon 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, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for to thee I am now sent. 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 said he to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for 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 withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained 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 thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
15 И кад ми говораше тако, оборих очи своје на земљу и занемех.
And when he had spoken such words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became 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 like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained 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 the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
18 Тада онај што беше као човек опет ме се дотаче и охрабри ме.
Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he 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, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be to thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken to 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 said he, Knowest thou for what cause I come to thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, 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 show thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
