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 to me, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to 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 a vision, and when I saw, I was in Shushan, in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and was by the river 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 my eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram, which had two horns; and the two horns were high, and 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 beast could stand before him, and none could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will and became great.
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 I gave heed, and behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth, without touching 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 which had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran against 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 to the ram, and he was enraged against him, and smote the ram, and broke in pieces his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and none 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 became exceedingly great; but when he became strong the great horn was broken, and instead of it grew up four conspicuous ones 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 became exceedingly great toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
10 И нарасте дори до војске небеске, и обори на земљу неке од војске и од звезда, и погази их.
And it exalted itself even to the host of heaven, and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11 И нарасте дори до поглавара тој војсци, и узе Му свагдашњу жртву, и свети стан Његов обори.
Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and the daily sacrifice did he take away from him, 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 a host was placed over the daily sacrifice with impiety, and it cast down truth to the ground, and it accomplished its purpose 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?
And I heard a holy one speak; and another holy one said to the one that had spoken, To how long a time extendeth the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the impiety of the destroyer, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 И рече ми: До две хиљаде и три стотине дана и ноћи; онда ће се светиња очистити.
And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
15 А кад видех ја Данило ову утвару, и заисках да разумем, гле, стаде преда ме као човек.
And it came to pass, that when I Daniel saw the vision, I sought for the meaning; and behold, there stood one before me having the appearance of a man.
16 И чух глас човечији насред Улаја, који повика и рече: Гаврило, кажи овоме утвару.
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which 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.
And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face, and he said to me, Understand, O son of man! for this vision relateth 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.
But when he spake to me, I sank senseless upon my face to the ground; but he touched me, and lifted me up where I had stood.
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 make known to thee what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for [[the vision relateth]] to the 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 two horns, denoteth 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 goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn 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 that was broken, and four arose in its place, four kingdoms shall arise 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 toward the end of their reign, when the transgressors have filled up the measure of their iniquities, a king shall arise of a fierce countenance, and cunning in artifices.
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 become mighty, but not by his own strength; and wonderfully will he destroy, and prosper, and accomplish his purposes, and he will destroy many, even the people of the holy ones.
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 will he cause fraud to prosper in his hand, and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in the midst of security, and against the Prince of princes will he stand up; 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 evening and the morning, which was told thee, is true; but do thou seal up the vision, for it relates to many days.
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 some days; then I rose up and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but no one explained it.
