Књига пророка Данила 8
1 Треће године царовања Валтасаровог показа се мени Данилу утвара после оне која ми се показала пре.
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
2 И видех у утвари; а бејах у Сусану у граду који је у земљи Еламу, кад видех, и видех у утвари и бејах на води Улају.
And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai.
3 И подигох очи своје и видех, и гле, стајаше крај воде ован, који имаше два рога, а рогови беху високи, али један виши од другог, и виши нарасте после.
And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the stream a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Видех овна где боде на запад и на север и на југ, и ниједна звер не могаше му одолети, и не беше никога ко би избавио од њега, него чињаше шта хоћаше, и осили.
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
5 А кад ја мотрах, гле, иђаше јарац од запада поврх све земље, а не дотицаше се земље; и тај јарац имаше рог знаменит међу очима својим.
And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
6 И дође до овна који имаше два рога, ког видех где стоји крај воде, и потрча на њ гневно силом својом.
And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his power.
7 И видех га где дође до овна, и разгневивши се на њ удари овна, те му сломи оба рога и не беше силе у овну да му одоли, него га обори на земљу и погази га, и не беше никога да избави овна од њега.
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 И јарац поста врло велик; а кад осили, сломи се велики рог, и место њега нарастоше знаменита четири рога према четири ветра небеска.
And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven.
9 И из једног од њих изиђе један рог мален и нарасте врло велик према југу и истоку и према красној земљи.
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous land.
10 И нарасте дори до војске небеске, и обори на земљу неке од војске и од звезда, и погази их.
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.
11 И нарасте дори до поглавара тој војсци, и узе Му свагдашњу жртву, и свети стан Његов обори.
Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 И војска би дана у отпад од жртве свагдашње, и обори истину на земљу, и шта чињаше напредоваше му.
And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered.
13 Тада чух једног свеца где говораше; и један светац рече некоме који говораше: Докле ће трајати та утвара за свагдашњу жртву и за отпад пустошни да се гази светиња и војска?
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'
14 И рече ми: До две хиљаде и три стотине дана и ноћи; онда ће се светиња очистити.
And he said unto me: 'Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.'
15 А кад видех ја Данило ову утвару, и заисках да разумем, гле, стаде преда ме као човек.
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
16 И чух глас човечији насред Улаја, који повика и рече: Гаврило, кажи овоме утвару.
And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'
17 И дође где ја стајах; и кад дође уплаших се, и падох на лице своје; а он ми рече: Пази, сине човечији, јер је ова утвара за последње време.
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face; but he said unto me: 'Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.'
18 А док ми он говораше, ја бејах изван себе лежећи ничице на земљи; а он ме се дотаче, и исправи ме, те стадох.
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
19 И рече: Ево, ја ћу ти казати шта ће бити на крају гнева; јер ће у одређено време бити крај.
And he said: 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.
20 Ован што си га видео, који има два рога, то су цареви мидски и персијски.
The ram which thou sawest having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 А руњави је јарац цар грчки; и велики рог што му беше међу очима, то је први цар.
And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 А шта се он сломи, и место њега нарастоше четири, то су четири царства, која ће настати иза тог народа, али не његовом силом.
And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 А на крају царовања њиховог, кад безаконици наврше меру, настаће цар бестидан и лукав.
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.
24 Сила ће му бити јака, али не од његове јачине, и чудесно ће пустошити, и биће срећан и свршиваће, и губиће силне и народ свети.
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints.
25 И лукавством његовим напредоваће превара у његовој руци, и подигнуће се у срцу свом, и у миру ће погубити многе, и устаће на Кнеза над кнезовима, али ће се потрти без руке.
And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 А речена утвара о дану и ноћи истина је; зато ти запечати утвару, јер је за много времена.
And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true; but thou, shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.'
27 Тада ја Данило занемогох, и боловах неко време; после устах и врших послове цареве; и чудих се утвари, али нико не дозна.
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.
