Књига пророка Данила 2
1 А друге године царовања Навуходоносоровог усни Навуходоносор сан, и узнемири му се дух и сан га прође.
In the second year of the rule of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep went from him.
2 И рече цар да дозову враче и звездаре и гатаре и Халдеје да кажу цару сан његов. И дођоше и сташе пред царем.
Then the king gave orders that the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and those who made use of evil powers, and the Chaldaeans, were to be sent for to make clear to the king his dreams. So they came and took their places before the king.
3 И рече им цар: Усних сан, и узнемири ми се дух како бих дознао шта сам снио.
And the king said to them, I have had a dream, and my spirit is troubled by the desire to have the dream made clear to me.
4 А Халдеји рекоше цару сирски: Царе, да си жив довека! Приповеди сан слугама својим, па ћемо ти казати шта значи.
Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in the Aramaean language, O King, have life for ever: give your servants an account of your dream, and we will make clear to you the sense of it.
5 А цар одговори и рече Халдејима: Заборавио сам, ако ми не кажете шта сам снио и шта значи, бићете исечени и куће ће ваше бити буњишта.
The king made answer and said to the Chaldaeans, This is my decision: if you do not make clear to me the dream and the sense of it, you will be cut in bits and your houses made waste.
6 Ако ли ми кажете шта сам снио и шта значи, добићете од мене даре и поклоне и велику част; кажите ми дакле шта сам снио и шта значи.
But if you make clear the dream and the sense of it, you will have from me offerings and rewards and great honour: so make clear to me the dream and the sense of it.
7 Одговорише опет и рекоше: Нека цар приповеди сан слугама својим, па ћемо казати шта значи.
A second time they said in answer, Let the king give his servants an account of his dream, and we will make clear the sense.
8 Цар одговори и рече: Доиста видим да хоћете времена да добијете; јер видите да сам заборавио.
The king made answer and said, I am certain that you are attempting to get more time, because you see that my decision is fixed;
9 Али ако ми не кажете шта сам снио и шта значи, један вам је суд; јер сте се договорили да кажете преда мном лаж и превару док се промени време; зато кажите ми сан, па ћу видети да ми можете казати шта значи.
That if you do not make my dream clear to me there is only one fate for you: for you have made ready false and evil words to say before me till the times are changed: so give me an account of the dream, and I will be certain that you are able to make the sense of it clear.
10 Одговорише Халдеји цару и рекоше: Нема човека на земљи који би могао казати цару то шта иште; зато ниједан цар ни кнез ни властелин није никада искао такво шта од врача или звездара или Халдејца.
Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in answer, There is not a man on earth able to make clear the king's business; for no king, however great his power, has ever made such a request to any wonder-worker or user of secret arts or Chaldaean.
11 И шта цар иште врло је тешко; нити има другог који би могао казати цару осим богова, који не живе међу људима.
The king's request is a very hard one, and there is no other who is able to make it clear to the king, but the gods, whose living-place is not with flesh.
12 Зато се цар разљути и разгневи врло, и заповеди да се погубе сви мудраци вавилонски.
Because of this the king was angry and full of wrath, and gave orders for the destruction of all the wise men of Babylon.
13 И кад изиђе заповест, те убијаху мудраце, тражаху и Данила и другове његове да их убију.
So the order went out that the wise men were to be put to death; and they were looking for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.
14 Тада Данило одговори мудро и разумно Ариоху заповеднику стражарском, који беше изашао да убија мудраце вавилонске;
Then Daniel gave an answer with wisdom and good sense to Arioch, the captain of the king's armed men, who had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon;
15 Одговори и рече Ариоху, властелину царевом: Зашто је тако нагла заповест од цара? Тада Ариох каза ствар Данилу.
He made answer and said to Arioch, O captain of the king, why is the king's order so cruel? Then Arioch gave Daniel an account of the business.
16 А Данило отиде и замоли цара да му остави времена, па ће казати цару шта сан значи.
And Daniel went in and made a request to the king to give him time and he would make clear the sense of his dream to the king.
17 Потом отиде Данило кући својој, и каза ствар Ананији, Мисаилу и Азарији, друговима својим,
And Daniel went to his house and gave his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah the news:
18 Да се моле за милост Богу небеском ради те тајне, да не би погинули Данило и другови му с осталим мудрацима вавилонским.
So that they might make a request for the mercy of the God of heaven in the question of this secret; so that Daniel and his friends might not come to destruction with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 И објави се тајна Данилу, у ноћној утвари; тада Данило благослови Бога небеског.
Then the secret was made clear to Daniel in a vision of the night. And Daniel gave blessing to the God of heaven.
20 Проговори Данило и рече: Да је благословено име Господње од века до века; јер је Његова мудрост и сила;
And Daniel said in answer, May the name of God be praised for ever and ever: for wisdom and strength are his:
21 И Он мења времена и часе; смеће цареве, и поставља цареве; даје мудрост мудрима и разум разумнима.
By him times and years are changed: by him kings are taken away and kings are lifted up: he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those whose minds are awake:
22 Он открива шта је дубоко и сакривено, зна шта је у мраку, и светлост код Њега станује.
He is the unveiler of deep and secret things: he has knowledge of what is in the dark, and the light has its living-place with him.
23 Тебе, Боже отаца мојих, хвалим и славим, шта си ми дао мудрост и силу, и шта си ми објавио за шта Те молисмо објавив нам ствар цареву.
I give you praise and worship, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and strength, and have now made clear to me what we were requesting from you: for you have given us knowledge of the king's business.
24 Тада отиде Данило к Ариоху, ког цар беше одредио да погуби мудраце вавилонске; и дошав овако му рече: Не губи мудраца вавилонских; изведи ме пред цара да кажем цару шта сан значи.
For this reason Daniel went to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders for the destruction of the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, Do not put to death the wise men of Babylon: take me in before the king and I will make clear to him the sense of the dream.
25 Тада Ариох брже изведе Данила пред цара, и овако му рече: Нађох човека између робља Јудиног, који ће казати цару шта сан значи.
Then Arioch quickly took Daniel in before the king, and said to him, Here is a man from among the prisoners of Judah, who will make clear to the king the sense of the dream.
26 А цар проговори и рече Данилу, који се зваше Валтасар: Можеш ли ми казати сан који сам снио и шта значи?
The king made answer and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make clear to me the dream which I saw and its sense?
27 Одговори Данило цару и рече: Тајну коју цар иште не могу казати цару мудраци ни звездари ни врачи ни гатари.
Then Daniel said in answer to the king, No wise men, or users of secret arts, or wonder-workers, or readers of signs, are able to make clear to the king the secret he is searching for;
28 Него има Бог на небу који открива тајне и јавља цару Навуходоносору шта ће бити до краја. Сан твој и шта ти је видела глава на постељи твојој ово је:
But there is a God in heaven, the unveiler of secrets, and he has given to King Nebuchadnezzar knowledge of what will take place in the last days. Your dreams and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
29 Теби, царе, дођоше мисли на постељи шта ће бити после, и Онај који објављује тајне показа ти шта ће бити.
As for you, O King, the thoughts which came to you on your bed were of what will come about after this: and the unveiler of secrets has made clear to you what is to come.
30 А мени се ова тајна није објавила мудрошћу која би у мене била мимо све живе, него зато да се јави цару шта сан значи и да дознаш мисли срца свог.
As for me, this secret is not made clear to me because of any wisdom which I have more than any living man, but in order that the sense of the dream may be made clear to the king, and that you may have knowledge of the thoughts of your heart.
31 Ти, царе, виде, а то лик велик; велик беше лик и светлост му силна, и стајаше према теби, и страшан беше на очима.
You, O King, were looking, and a great image was there. This image, which was very great, and whose glory was very bright, was placed before you: its form sent fear into the heart.
32 Глава том лику беше од чистог злата, прси и мишице од сребра, трбух и бедра од бронзе,
As for this image, its head was made of the best gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its middle and its sides were of brass,
33 Ноге му од гвожђа, а стопала које од гвожђа које од земље.
Its legs of iron, its feet were in part of iron and in part of potter's earth.
34 Ти гледаше докле се одвали камен без руку, и удари лик у стопала бронзана и земљана, и сатре их.
While you were looking at it, a stone was cut out, but not by hands, and it gave the image a blow on its feet, which were of iron and earth, and they were broken in bits.
35 Тада се сатре и гвожђе и земља и бронза и сребро и злато, и поста као плева на гумну у лето, те однесе ветар, и не нађе му се место; а камен, који удари лик, поста гора велика и испуни сву земљу.
Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth.
36 То је сан; а сада ћемо казати цару шта значи.
This is the dream; and we will make clear to the king the sense of it.
37 Ти си, царе, цар над царевима, јер ти Бог небески даде царство, силу и крепост и славу,
You, O King, king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory,
38 И где год живе синови људски, звери пољске и птице небеске, дао ти је у руке, и поставио те господарем над свим тим. Ти си она глава златна.
Wherever the children of men are living; into whose hands he has given the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven, and has made you ruler over them all, you are the head of gold.
39 А након тебе настаће друго царство, мање од твог; а потом треће царство, бронзано, које ће владати по свој земљи.
And after you another kingdom, lower than you, will come to power; and a third kingdom, of brass, ruling over all the earth.
40 А четврто ће царство бити тврдо као гвожђе, јер гвожђе сатире и троши све, и као гвожђе што све ломи, тако ће сатрти и поломити.
And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.
41 А што си видео стопала и прсте које од кала лончарског које од гвожђа, биће царство раздељено, али ће бити у њему тврђе од гвожђа, јер си видео гвожђе помешано с калом лончарским.
And as you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's work and part of iron, there will be a division in the kingdom; but there will be some of the strength of iron in it, because you saw the iron mixed with the potter's earth.
42 И што прсти на ногама беху које од гвожђа које од кала, царство ће бити нешто јако, а нешто трошно.
And as the toes of the feet were in part of iron and in part of earth, so part of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will readily be broken.
43 А што си видео гвожђе помешано са калом лончарским, то ће се они помешати са семеном човечијим, али неће прионути један за другог као што се гвожђе не може смешати с калом.
And as you saw the iron mixed with earth, they will give their daughters to one another as wives: but they will not be united one with another, even as iron is not mixed with earth.
44 А у време тих царева Бог ће небески подигнути царство које се до века неће расути, и то се царство неће оставити другом народу; оно ће сатрти и укинути сва та царства, а само ће стајати до века.
And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.
45 Како си видео где се од горе одвали камен без руку и сатре гвожђе, бронзу, као, сребро и злато. Бог велики јави цару шта ће бити после; сан је истинит, и тумачење му верно.
Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that by it the iron and the brass and the earth and the silver and the gold were broken to bits, a great God has given the king knowledge of what is to take place in the future: the dream is fixed, and its sense is certain.
46 Тада цар Навуходоносор паде на лице своје, и поклони се Данилу, и заповеди да му принесу принос и кад.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar, falling down on his face, gave worship to Daniel, and gave orders for an offering and spices to be given to him;
47 Цар проговори Данилу и рече: Доиста, ваш је Бог Бог над боговима и Господар над царевима, и који објављује тајне, кад си могао открити ову тајну.
And the king made answer to Daniel and said, Truly, your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and an unveiler of secrets, for you have been able to make this secret clear.
48 Тада цар узвиси Данила, и даде му многе велике дарове и учини га господарем свој земљи вавилонској и поглаварем над свим мудрацима вавилонским.
Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him offerings in great number, and made him ruler over all the land of Babylon, and chief over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 И Данило измоли у цара, те постави над пословима земље вавилонске Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага, а Данило оста на двору царевом.
And at Daniel's request, the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego authority over the business of the land of Babylon: but Daniel was kept near the king's person.
