Daniel 10
1 In the third year of the reign of King Cyrus of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel (also called Belteshazzar). The message was certain and concerned a great conflict. He understood the message and gained understanding of the vision.
Treæe godine Kira cara Persijskoga objavi se rijeè Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar; i rijeè bješe istinita i o velikim stvarima; i razabra rijeè i razumje utvaru.
2 When this happened, I, Daniel, had been in mourning for three full weeks.
U to vrijeme ja Danilo bjeh u žalosti tri nedjelje dana.
3 I ate no fine food. No meat or wine passed my lips. I used no perfumed oils until those three weeks were over.
Jela ugodna ne jedoh, ni meso ni vino ne uðe u moja usta, niti se namazah uljem dok se ne navršiše tri nedjelje dana.
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was standing on the bank of the great River Tigris.
A dvadeset èetvrtoga dana prvoga mjeseca bijah na brijegu velike rijeke Hidekela.
5 I looked around and saw a man dressed in linen, and around his waist was a belt of pure gold.
I podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, a to jedan èovjek obuèen u platno, i pojas bješe oko njega od èistoga zlata iz Ufaza;
6 His body shone like a jewel; his face was as bright as lightning; his eyes were like blazing torches; his arms and legs gleamed like polished bronze; and his voice sounded like the roar of a crowd.
A tijelo mu bješe kao hrisolit, i lice mu kao munja a oèi mu kao luèevi zapaljeni, a ruke i noge kao mjed uglaðena, a glas od rijeèi njegovijeh kao glas mnogoga ljudstva.
7 I, Daniel, was the only one to see this vision—the others with me did not see the vision, but they suddenly felt very frightened and ran away to hide themselves.
I ja Danilo sam vidjeh utvaru, a ljudi što bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe je, ali ih popade strah velik, te pobjegoše i sakriše se.
8 I was left alone to see this wonderful vision. My strength drained away, and my face turned pale as death. I didn't have an ounce of strength left.
I ostah sam, i vidjeh tu veliku utvaru, i ne osta snage u meni, i ljepota mi se nagrdi, i ne imah snage.
9 I heard him speaking, and when I heard his voice I lost consciousness and I lay face down on the ground.
I èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, i kad èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, izvan sebe padoh nièice licem na zemlju.
10 Then a hand touched me and lifted me onto my hands and knees.
I gle, ruka me se dotaèe i podiže me na koljena moja i na dlanove moje.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, God loves you very much. Pay attention to what I'm telling you. Stand up, because I have been sent to you.” When he told me this I stood up, trembling.
I reèe mi: Danilo, mili èovjeèe! slušaj rijeèi koje æu ti kazati, i stani pravo, jer sam sada poslan k tebi. I kad mi reèe tu rijeè, ustah drkæuæi.
12 “Don't be afraid, Daniel,” he said. “From the first day you concentrated on trying to understand this, and to humble yourself before God, your prayer was heard, and I have come to answer you.
I reèe mi: ne boj se, Danilo, jer prvoga dana kad si upravio srce svoje da razumijevaš i da muèiš sebe pred Bogom svojim, uslišene biše rijeèi tvoje, i ja doðoh tvojih rijeèi radi.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was being detained there by the kings of Persia.
Ali knez carstva Persijskoga staja mi nasuprot dvadeset i jedan dan; ali, gle, Mihailo jedan od prvijeh knezova doðe mi u pomoæ; tako ja ostah ondje kod careva Persijskih.
14 Now I've come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the last days, for the vision is about a time in the future.”
I doðoh da ti kažem šta æe biti tvome narodu poslije; jer æe još biti utvara za te dane.
15 As he told me this I remained there with my face to the ground and couldn't say a word.
I kad mi govoraše tako, oborih oèi svoje na zemlju i zanijemjeh.
16 Then the one who looked like a human being touched my lips and I was able to speak. I told the one standing in front of me, “My lord, since I saw the vision I've been in agony and I feel really weak.
I gle, kao èovjek dotaèe se usana mojih, i otvorih usta svoja, i progovorih i rekoh onomu koji stajaše prema meni: gospodaru moj, od ove utvare navališe moji bolovi na mene i nema snage u meni.
17 How can I, your servant, speak to you, my lord? I have no strength, and I can hardly breathe.”
A kako može sluga mojega gospodara govoriti s gospodarem mojim? Jer od ovoga èasa u meni nesta snage i ni dihanje ne osta u meni.
18 Once again the one who looked like a human being touched me and restored my strength.
Tada onaj što bijaše kao èovjek opet me se dotaèe i ohrabri me.
19 “Don't be afraid; God loves you very much. May you have peace! Be strong! Have courage!” As he spoke to me, I became stronger and I said, “My lord, speak to me, for you have strengthened me.”
I reèe: ne boj se, mili èovjeèe; mir da ti je! ohrabri se, ohrabri se. I dokle mi govoraše, ohrabrih se i rekoh: neka govori gospodar moj, jer si me ohrabrio.
20 “Do you know why I've come to you?” he asked. “Shortly I will have to go back and fight the prince of Persia, and after that the prince of Greece will come.
A on reèe: znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? a sada æu se vratiti da vojujem na kneza Persijskoga; potom æu otiæi, i gle, doæi æe knez Grèki.
21 But before that I will tell you what is written down in the Book of Truth. No one helps me fight against these princes except Michael your prince.
Ali æu ti kazati što je napisano u knjizi istinitoj. Nema nikoga da junaèki radi sa mnom u tom osim Mihaila kneza vašega.
