Daniel 4
1 "Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
Car Navuhodonosor svijem narodima, plemenima i jezicima što su po svoj zemlji, mir da vam se umnoži.
2 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.
Svidje mi se da objavim znake i èudesa što mi uèini Bog višnji.
3 How great are his signs and how mighty are his wonders. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
Znaci njegovi kako su veliki! i èudesa njegova kako su silna! carstvo je njegovo carstvo vjeèno, i vlast njegova od koljena do koljena.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
Ja Navuhodonosor bijah miran u kuæi svojoj i cvatijah u dvoru svom.
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Usnih san, koji me uplaši, i misli na postelji mojoj i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.
6 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
I zapovjedih da se dovedu preda me svi mudarci Vavilonski da mi kažu što znaèi san.
7 Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
Tada doðoše vraèari, zvjezdari, Haldeji i gatari, i pripovjedih im san, ali mi ne mogoše kazati što znaèi.
8 But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, saying,
Najposlije doðe preda me Danilo, koji se zove Valtasar po imenu boga mojega, i u kom je duh svetijeh bogova, i pripovjedih mu san:
9 "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
Valtasare, poglavare vraèarima, znam da je duh svetijeh bogova u tebi i nikaka tajna nije ti teška; kaži san moj što sam snio i što znaèi.
10 Thus were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and look, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.
A utvara glave moje na postelji mojoj bješe: vidjeh, gle, drvo usred zemlje, i visina mu velika.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to the sky, and it could be seen anywhere on earth.
Drvo bješe veliko i jako, i visina mu dosezaše do neba, i viðaše se do kraja sve zemlje.
12 The leaves of it were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
Lišæe mu bješe lijepo i rod obilat, i na njemu bješe hrane svemu; zvijerje poljsko odmaraše se u hladu njegovu, i na granama njegovijem stanovahu ptice nebeske, i od njega se hranjaše svako tijelo.
13 I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and look, a watcher and a holy one came down from the sky.
Vidjeh u utvarama glave svoje na postelji svojoj, i gle, stražar i svetac siðe s neba.
14 He cried aloud, and said this, "Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.
Povika jako i reèe ovako: posijecite drvo, i okrešite mu grane, pokidajte mu lišæe i razmetnite mu rod; neka pobjegnu zvijeri ispod njega i ptice s grana njegovijeh.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.
Ali panj sa žilama ostavite mu u zemlji, u okovima gvozdenijem i mjedenijem u travi poljskoj, neka ga kvasi rosa nebeska i dio da mu je sa zvijerjem od trave zemaljske.
16 Let his mind be changed from man's, and let an animal's mind be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
Srce èovjeèije neka mu se promijeni, i srce životinjsko neka mu se da, i sedam vremena neka proðe preko njega.
17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision is a command of the holy ones; so that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to anyone he wants, and sets up over it the lowliest of men.
To su odredili stražari i izrekli sveti da bi poznali živi da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim, i daje ga kome hoæe, i postavlja nad njim najnižega izmeðu ljudi.
18 This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation. But you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you."
Taj san snih ja car Navuhodonosor; a ti, Valtasare, kaži što znaèi, jer nijedan mudarac u carstvu mom ne može da mi kaže što znaèi; a ti možeš, jer je u tebi duh svetijeh bogova.
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, Belteshazzar, "Do not let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you." Belteshazzar answered, "My lord, the dream concerns those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.
Tada Danilo, koji se zvaše Valtasar, osta u èudu za jedan sahat, i misli ga uznemiravahu. A car progovori i reèe: Valtasare, san i znaèenje mu da te ne uznemiruje. A Valtasar odgovori i reèe: gospodaru moj, san da bude tvojim nenavidnicima, i znaèenje njegovo neprijateljima tvojim.
20 The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and its sight to all the earth;
Drvo što si vidio, veliko i jako, kojemu visina dosezaše do neba i koje se viðaše po svoj zemlji,
21 whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation.
Kojemu lišæe bješe lijepo i rod obilan, i na kom bješe hrane svemu, pod kojim stanovaše zvijerje poljsko i na granama mu sjeðahu ptice nebeske,
22 It is you, O king, that are grown and become strong; for your greatness is grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the most distant part of the earth.
To si ti, care, koji si velik i silan, i velièina je tvoja visoka i doseže do neba i vlast tvoja do krajeva zemaljskih.
23 Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, 'Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.
A što car vidje stražara i sveca gdje slažaše s neba i govoraše: posijecite drvo i potrite ga, ali mu panj sa žilama ostavite u zemlji u okovima gvozdenijem i mjedenijem u travi poljskoj, da ga kvasi rosa nebeska, i sa zvijerjem poljskim neka mu je dio dokle sedam vremena proðe preko njega,
24 This is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come on my lord the king:
Ovo znaèi, care, i ovo je naredba višnjega koja æe se izvršiti na mom gospodaru caru:
25 that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
Biæeš prognan izmeðu ljudi, i sa zvijerima æeš poljskim živjeti, i hraniæe te travom kao goveda, i rosa æe te nebeska kvasiti, i sedam æe vremena proæi preko tebe dokle poznaš da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim i daje ga kome hoæe.
26 Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be restored to you. After that you shall have known that the heavens do rule.
A što se reèe da se ostavi panj sa žilama od drveta, carstvo æe ti ostati, kad poznaš da nebesa vladaju.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of your prosperity."
Zato, care, da ti je ugodan moj svjet, oprosti se grijeha svojih pravdom, i bezakonja svojih milošæu prema nevoljnima, eda bi ti se produljio mir.
28 All this came on the king Nebuchadnezzar.
Sve ovo doðe na cara Navuhodonosora.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.
Poslije dvanaest mjeseca hodaše po carskom dvoru u Vavilonu.
30 The king spoke and said, "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?"
I progovori car i reèe: nije li to Vavilon veliki što ga ja sazidah jakom silom svojom da je stolica carska i slava velièanstvu mojemu?
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the sky, saying, "O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken. The kingdom has departed from you,
Te rijeèi još bjehu u ustima caru, a glas doðe s neba: tebi se govori, care Navuhodonosore: carstvo se uze od tebe.
32 and you shall be driven from men; and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he wants."
I biæeš prognan izmeðu ljudi, i živjeæeš sa zvijerjem poljskim, hraniæe te travom kao goveda, i sedam æe vremena proæi preko tebe dokle poznaš da višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim i daje ga kome hoæe.
33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until his hair was grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
U taj èas ispuni se ta rijeè na Navuhodonosoru; i bi prognan izmeðu ljudi i jede travu kao goveda, i rosa nebeska kvasi mu tijelo da mu narastoše dlake kao pera u orla i nokti kao u ptica.
34 "At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.
Ali poslije toga vremena ja Navuhodonosor podigoh oèi svoje k nebu, i um moj vrati mi se, i blagoslovih višnjega, i hvalih i slavih onoga koji živi dovijeka, èija je vlast vlast vjeèna i èije je carstvo od koljena do koljena;
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing; and he does according to his will in the host of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or tell him, "What have you done?"
I svi stanovnici zemaljski ništa nijesu prema njemu, i radi što hoæe s vojskom nebeskom i sa stanovnicima zemaljskim, i nema nikoga da bi mu ruku ustavio i rekao mu: šta radiš?
36 At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought me out; and I was reinstated over my kingdom, and even more greatness was added to me.
U to vrijeme um moj vrati mi se, i na slavu carstva mojega vrati mi se velièanstvo moje i svjetlost moja; i dvorani moji i knezovi moji potražiše me, i utvrdih se u carstvu svom, i doda mi se više velièanstva.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble."
Sada ja Navuhodonosor hvalim, uzvišujem i slavim cara nebeskoga, èija su sva djela istina i èiji su putovi pravedni i koji može oboriti one koji hode ponosito.
