Danilo 4
1 Car Navuhodonosor svijem narodima, plemenima i jezicima što su po svoj zemlji, mir da vam se umnoži.
Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
2 Svidje mi se da objavim znake i èudesa što mi uèini Bog višnji.
I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought towards me.
3 Znaci njegovi kako su veliki! i èudesa njegova kako su silna! carstvo je njegovo carstvo vjeèno, i vlast njegova od koljena do koljena.
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.
4 Ja Navuhodonosor bijah miran u kuæi svojoj i cvatijah u dvoru svom.
I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
5 Usnih san, koji me uplaši, i misli na postelji mojoj i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.
I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
6 I zapovjedih da se dovedu preda me svi mudarci Vavilonski da mi kažu što znaèi san.
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.
7 Tada doðoše vraèari, zvjezdari, Haldeji i gatari, i pripovjedih im san, ali mi ne mogoše kazati što znaèi.
Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the sooth-sayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation of it.
8 Najposlije doðe preda me Danilo, koji se zove Valtasar po imenu boga mojega, i u kom je duh svetijeh bogova, i pripovjedih mu san:
But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],
9 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.
O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation of it.
10 A utvara glave moje na postelji mojoj bješe: vidjeh, gle, drvo usred zemlje, i visina mu velika.
Thus [were] the visions of my head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its hight [was] great.
11 Drvo bješe veliko i jako, i visina mu dosezaše do neba, i viðaše se do kraja sve zemlje.
The tree grew, and was strong, and its hight reached to heaven, and the sight of it to the end of all the earth:
12 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.
Its leaves [were] fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it [was] food for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the fowls of heaven dwelt among its boughs, and all flesh was fed from it.
13 Vidjeh u utvarama glave svoje na postelji svojoj, i gle, stražar i svetac siðe s neba.
I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven;
14 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.
He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts escape from under it, and the fowls from its branches.
15 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.
Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] its portion [be] with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
16 Srce èovjeèije neka mu se promijeni, i srce životinjsko neka mu se da, i sedam vremena neka proðe preko njega.
Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
17 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.
This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
18 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.
This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation of it, forasmuch as all the wise [men] of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation: but thou [art] able; for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee.
19 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.
Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation of it, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered, and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thy enemies.
20 Drvo što si vidio, veliko i jako, kojemu visina dosezaše do neba i koje se viðaše po svoj zemlji,
The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose hight reached to the heaven, and the sight of it to all the earth;
21 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,
Whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit of it abundant, and in it [was] food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of heaven had their habitation:
22 To si ti, care, koji si velik i silan, i velièina je tvoja visoka i doseže do neba i vlast tvoja do krajeva zemaljskih.
It [is] thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth to heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
23 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,
And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] its portion [be] with the beasts of the field, till seven times shall pass over him;
24 Ovo znaèi, care, i ovo je naredba višnjega koja æe se izvršiti na mom gospodaru caru:
This [is] the interpretation, O king, and this [is] the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
25 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.
That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
26 A što se reèe da se ostavi panj sa žilama od drveta, carstvo æe ti ostati, kad poznaš da nebesa vladaju.
And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure to thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
27 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.
Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
28 Sve ovo doðe na cara Navuhodonosora.
All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
29 Poslije dvanaest mjeseca hodaše po carskom dvoru u Vavilonu.
At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
30 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?
The king spoke, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?
31 Te rijeèi još bjehu u ustima caru, a glas doðe s neba: tebi se govori, care Navuhodonosore: carstvo se uze od tebe.
While the word [was] in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom hath departed from thee.
32 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.
And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling [shall be] with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou shalt know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
33 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.
The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].
34 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;
And 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 that liveth for ever, whose dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation to generation:
35 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?
And all the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and [among] the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say to him, What doest thou?
36 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.
At the same time my reason returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and brightness returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought to me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.
37 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.
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works [are] truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
