Daniel 8
1 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.
Treće godine kralja Baltazara ukaza se meni, Danielu, viđenje poslije onoga koje mi se ukazalo prije.
2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
Gledah viđenje, i dok gledah, nađoh se u Šušanu, čvrstu gradu u pokrajini Elamu; i u viđenju se vidjeh na rijeci Ulaju.
3 Then 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; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Podigoh oči, i gle: ovan stajaše kraj rijeke. Imaše dva roga: oba roga visoka, no jedan viši nego drugi, a onaj viši narastao poslije.
4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
Gledah kako ovan bode na zapad, na sjever i jug. Nijedna mu se životinja ne mogaše oprijeti, ništa mu ne mogaše izbjeći. Činio je što je htio, osilio se.
5 And as I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Dok sam promatrao, gle: jarac dolazi sa zapada povrh sve zemlje, ne dodirujući tla; jarac imaše silan rog među očima.
6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power.
Približi se dvorogom ovnu kojega bijah vidio gdje stoji kraj rijeke i potrča na njega u svoj žestini svoje snage.
7 And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger 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 stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Vidjeh kako se približi ovnu: bijesno udari na ovna i slomi mu oba roga, a ovan nije imao snage da mu se opre; obori ga jarac na zemlju i stade ga nogama gaziti; nikoga ne bijaše da spasi ovna.
8 Therefore the male goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and in its stead came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
Jarac osili veoma, ali kad osili, veliki se rog slomi, a na njegovu mjestu izrastoše četiri velika roga prema četiri vjetra nebeska.
9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
Iz jednoga od njih izbi malen rog, ali taj silno poraste prema jugu i istoku, prema Divoti.
10 And it grew great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
On poraste sve do Nebeske vojske, obori na zemlju neke iz Vojske i od zvijezda pa ih zgazi nogama.
11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Poraste sve do Zapovjednika Vojske, oduze mu svagdašnju žrtvu i razori mu njegovo Sveto mjesto.
12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it continued, and prospered.
Vojska se digla na žrtvu svagdašnju zbog opačine, na zemlju oborila istinu i uspje u svemu što činjaše.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to that certain saint who spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Tada čuh gdje jedan Svetac govori, a drugi Svetac upita onoga koji govoraše: “Dokle će trajati ovo viđenje o svagdašnjoj žrtvi i o opačini što pustoši i gazi Svetište i Vojsku?”
14 And he said to me, Until two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Odgovori: “Još dvije tisuće i tri stotine večeri i jutara; tada će Svetište biti očišćeno.”
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.
Kad sam ja, Daniel, gledajući ovo viđenje, tražio da ga razumijem, gle, preda me stade kao neki čovjek.
16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Začuh glas čovječji gdje viče preko Ulaja: “Gabriele, objasni mu to viđenje!”
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
On pođe onamo gdje stajah i kad mi se približi, strah me obuze i padoh na lice. On mi reče: “Sine čovječji, razumij: jer ovo je viđenje za vrijeme posljednje.”
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
On još govoraše, a ja se onesvijestih, padoh na zemlju. On me dotače i uspravi na mom mjestu.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
I reče: “Evo, kazat ću ti što će doći na kraju gnjeva, najavljeni svršetak.
20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
Ovan što si ga vidio - njegova dva roga - to su kraljevi Medije i Perzije.
21 And the rough goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Rutavi jarac jest kralj Grčke; veliki rog među njegovim očima jest prvi kralj;
22 Now that being broken, though four stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
slomljeni rog i četiri roga što izbiše na njegovu mjestu, to su četiri kraljevstva što će izići iz njegova naroda, ali neće imati njegovu moć.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
I potkraj njihova kraljevanja, kad bezakonici navrše mjeru, ustat će kralj, drzak i lukav.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and continue, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Njegova će moć porasti, ali ne svojom snagom; nesmiljeno će pustošiti, uspijevat će u svojim pothvatima, zatirat' junake i narod Svetaca.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Zbog njegove lukavosti prijevara će uspijevati u njegovoj ruci. On će se uznijeti u svome srcu, iz čista mira upropastit će mnoge. Suprotstavit će se Knezu nad knezovima, ali će - ne rukom - biti skršen.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: therefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
Viđenje o večerima i jutrima o kojem je bilo govora istinito je; no ti ga zapečati, jer je za daleke dane.”
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
Tada ja, Daniel, obnemogoh i bijah bolestan više dana. Zatim ustadoh da vršim kraljevske poslove. Bijah smeten zbog viđenja, no nitko to nije dokučio.
