Daniel 8
1 V tretjem letu kraljevanja kralja Belšacárja se mi je prikazalo videnje, celo meni, Danielu, po tistem, ki se mi je prikazalo najprej.
In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
2 Videl sem v videnju in pripetilo se je, ko sem gledal, da sem bil v [mestu] Suze, v palači, ki je v provinci Elám, in videl sem v videnju in bil sem pri reki Uláj.
I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
3 Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči, videl in glej, tam pred reko je stal oven, ki je imel dva rogova in dva rogova sta bila visoka. Toda eden je bil višji kakor drug in višji je prišel zadnji.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
4 Videl sem ovna bosti proti zahodu in proti severu in proti jugu, tako, da noben zvernik ni mogel stati pred njim niti tam ni bilo nikogar, ki bi ga lahko osvobodil iz njegove roke, temveč je počel glede na svojo voljo in postal velik.
I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
5 Ko sem preudarjal, glej, je od zahoda prišel kozel na obličje celotne zemlje, tal pa se ni dotaknil, in kozel je imel med svojimi očmi opazen rog.
As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
6 Ta je prišel k ovnu, ki je imel dva rogova, ki sem ga videl stati pred reko in stekel k njemu v razjarjenosti svoje moči.
He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.
7 Videl sem ga približevati se ovnu in prevzet je bil z gnevom zoper njega in udaril ovna ter zlomil dva njegova rogova. V ovnu pa ni bilo moči, da stoji pred njim, temveč ga je vrgel dol k tlom in ga poteptal, in nikogar ni bilo, ki bi mogel ovna osvoboditi iz njegove roke.
I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Zato je kozel postal zelo velik, in ko je bil močan, je bil veliki rog zlomljen in za tem so prišli gor štirje opazni, [razdeljeni] proti štirim vetrovom neba.
The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.
9 Iz enega izmed njih je prišel majhen rog, ki je postal silno velik, proti jugu in proti vzhodu in proti prijetni deželi.
Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
10 Ta je postal velik, celó do nebeške vojske, in ta je vrgel dol nekatere izmed vojske in od zvezd k tlom in poteptal nad njimi.
It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.
11 Da, poveličeval je samega sebe, celo do princa vojske in z njim je bilo odvzeto dnevno žrtvovanje in prostor njegovega svetišča je bil vržen dol.
Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 In dana mu je bila vojska zoper dnevno žrtvovanje zaradi razloga prestopka in ta je vrgel resnico dol k tlom in to izvedel in uspel.
The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
13 Potem sem zaslišal nekega svetega govoriti in drugi sveti je rekel temu nekemu svetemu, ki je govoril: »Doklej bo videnje glede dnevnega žrtvovanja in prestopka zapuščenosti, da bosta tako svetišče kakor vojska pogažena pod stopalom?«
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”
14 Rekel mi je: »Do dva tisoč tristo dni, potem bo svetišče očiščeno.«
He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 Pripetilo se je, ko sem jaz, celó jaz, Daniel, videl videnje in si prizadeval najti pomen, potem, glej, je tam pred menoj stal kakor videz moža.
When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.
16 Zaslišal sem človeški glas med bregovoma Ulája, ki je zaklical in rekel: »Gabriel, stôri temu človeku, da razume videnje.«
I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
17 Tako se je približal, kjer sem stal. Ko je prišel, sem bil prestrašen in padel na svoj obraz, toda rekel mi je: »Razumi, oh človeški sin, kajti videnje bo ob času konca.«
So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”
18 Torej, ko je govoril z menoj, sem bil v globokem spanju, s svojim obrazom proti tlom, toda dotaknil se me je in me postavil pokonci.
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 Rekel je: »Glej, dal ti bom spoznati kaj bo v zadnjem koncu ogorčenja, kajti ob določenem času bo konec.
He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20 Oven, ki si ga videl, ki je imel dva rogova, sta kraljestvi Medije in Perzije.
The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 Razmršen kozel je kralj Grčije, in velik rog, ki je med njegovimi očmi, je prvi kralj.
The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Torej ta je bil zlomljen, medtem ko so štirje vstali namesto tega; štiri kraljestva bodo vstala iz naroda, toda ne v njegovi moči.
As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 V zadnjem času njihovega kraljestva, ko pridejo prestopniki v polni meri, bo vstal kralj krutega obličja in razumevanja temnih razsodb.
“In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.
24 Njegova moč bo mogočna, toda ne z njegovo lastno močjo. Ta bo izvrstno uničeval in uspeval bo in izvedel in uničil bo mogočnega in sveto ljudstvo.
His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
25 Zaradi svoje strategije bo tudi povzročil, da bo prebrisanost uspevala v njegovi roki, in poveličeval se bo v svojem srcu in z mirom bo uničil mnoge. Stal bo tudi zoper Princa princev, toda zlomljen bo brez roke.
Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.
26 Videnje večera in jutra, ki je bilo povedano, je resnično. Zato zastri videnje, kajti to bo za mnoge dni.
“The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”
27 Jaz, Daniel, sem bil nekaj dni slaboten in bolan. Potem sem se dvignil in opravljal kraljeva opravila, bil pa sem osupel nad videnjem, toda nihče ga ni razumel.
I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.
