Daniel 8

1 In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me. After that which I had seen in the beginning, I, Daniel,

V tretjem letu kraljevanja kralja Belšacárja se mi je prikazalo videnje, celo meni, Danielu, po tistem, ki se mi je prikazalo najprej.

2 saw in my vision, that I was in the capital city of Susa, which is in the region of Elam, yet I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai.

Videl sem v videnju in pripetilo se je, ko sem gledal, da sem bil v [mestu] Suze, v palači, ki je v provinci Elám, in videl sem v videnju in bil sem pri reki Uláj.

3 And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a single ram stood before the marsh, having two high horns, and one was higher than the other and growing higher still.

Potem sem povzdignil svoje oči, videl in glej, tam pred reko je stal oven, ki je imel dva rogova in dva rogova sta bila visoka. Toda eden je bil višji kakor drug in višji je prišel zadnji.

4 After this, I saw the ram brandishing his horns against the West, and against the North, and against the Meridian, and all the beasts could not withstand him, nor be freed from his hand, and he did according to his own will, and he became great.

Videl sem ovna bosti proti zahodu in proti severu in proti jugu, tako, da noben zvernik ni mogel stati pred njim niti tam ni bilo nikogar, ki bi ga lahko osvobodil iz njegove roke, temveč je počel glede na svojo voljo in postal velik.

5 And I understood, and behold, a he-goat among she-goats came from the West above the face of the entire earth, and he did not touch the ground. Furthermore, the he-goat had a preeminent horn between his eyes.

Ko sem preudarjal, glej, je od zahoda prišel kozel na obličje celotne zemlje, tal pa se ni dotaknil, in kozel je imel med svojimi očmi opazen rog.

6 And he went all the way to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength.

Ta je prišel k ovnu, ki je imel dva rogova, ki sem ga videl stati pred reko in stekel k njemu v razjarjenosti svoje moči.

7 And when he approached near to the ram, he was enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him, and when he had cast him down on the ground, he trampled him, and no one was able to free the ram from his hand.

Videl sem ga približevati se ovnu in prevzet je bil z gnevom zoper njega in udaril ovna ter zlomil dva njegova rogova. V ovnu pa ni bilo moči, da stoji pred njim, temveč ga je vrgel dol k tlom in ga poteptal, in nikogar ni bilo, ki bi mogel ovna osvoboditi iz njegove roke.

8 But the he-goat among she-goats became exceedingly great, and when he had prospered, the great horn was shattered, and four horns were rising up beneath it by means of the four winds of heaven.

Zato je kozel postal zelo velik, in ko je bil močan, je bil veliki rog zlomljen in za tem so prišli gor štirje opazni, [razdeljeni] proti štirim vetrovom neba.

9 But from one of them came forth one little horn, and it became great against the Meridian, and against the East, and against the strength.

Iz enega izmed njih je prišel majhen rog, ki je postal silno velik, proti jugu in proti vzhodu in proti prijetni deželi.

10 And it was magnified even towards the strength of heaven, and it threw down those of the strength and of the stars, and it trampled them.

Ta je postal velik, celó do nebeške vojske, in ta je vrgel dol nekatere izmed vojske in od zvezd k tlom in poteptal nad njimi.

11 And it was magnified, even to the leader of the strength, and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary.

Da, poveličeval je samega sebe, celo do princa vojske in z njim je bilo odvzeto dnevno žrtvovanje in prostor njegovega svetišča je bil vržen dol.

12 And the advantage was given to him against the continual sacrifice, because of the sins, and truth will be struck down to the ground, and he will act, and he will prosper.

In dana mu je bila vojska zoper dnevno žrtvovanje zaradi razloga prestopka in ta je vrgel resnico dol k tlom in to izvedel in uspel.

13 And I heard one of the holy ones speaking, and one saint said to another, (I know not to whom he was speaking, ) “What is the extent of the vision, and the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation, which has happened, and of the sanctuary and the strength, which will be trampled?”

Potem sem zaslišal nekega svetega govoriti in drugi sveti je rekel temu nekemu svetemu, ki je govoril: »Doklej bo videnje glede dnevnega žrtvovanja in prestopka zapuščenosti, da bosta tako svetišče kakor vojska pogažena pod stopalom?«

14 And he said to him, “From evening until morning, two thousand three hundred days, and so the sanctuary will be cleansed.”

Rekel mi je: »Do dva tisoč tristo dni, potem bo svetišče očiščeno.«

15 But it came to pass, when I, Daniel, saw the vision and sought understanding that, behold, there stood in my sight something like the appearance of a man.

Pripetilo se je, ko sem jaz, celó jaz, Daniel, videl videnje in si prizadeval najti pomen, potem, glej, je tam pred menoj stal kakor videz moža.

16 And I heard the voice of a man within Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.”

Zaslišal sem človeški glas med bregovoma Ulája, ki je zaklical in rekel: »Gabriel, stôri temu človeku, da razume videnje.«

17 And he came and stood next to where I was standing, and when he approached, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for in the time of the end the vision will be fulfilled.”

Tako se je približal, kjer sem stal. Ko je prišel, sem bil prestrašen in padel na svoj obraz, toda rekel mi je: »Razumi, oh človeški sin, kajti videnje bo ob času konca.«

18 And when he spoke to me, I fell forward onto the ground, and so he touched me and stood me upright.

Torej, ko je govoril z menoj, sem bil v globokem spanju, s svojim obrazom proti tlom, toda dotaknil se me je in me postavil pokonci.

19 And he said to me, “I will reveal to you what the future things are in the earlier tribulation, for the time has its end.

Rekel je: »Glej, dal ti bom spoznati kaj bo v zadnjem koncu ogorčenja, kajti ob določenem času bo konec.

20 The ram, which you saw to have horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.

Oven, ki si ga videl, ki je imel dva rogova, sta kraljestvi Medije in Perzije.

21 Furthermore, the he-goat among she-goats is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn, which was between his eyes, is the same one, the first king.

Razmršen kozel je kralj Grčije, in velik rog, ki je med njegovimi očmi, je prvi kralj.

22 And since, having been shattered, there grew four in its place, four kings will rise up from his people, but not in his strength.

Torej ta je bil zlomljen, medtem ko so štirje vstali namesto tega; štiri kraljestva bodo vstala iz naroda, toda ne v njegovi moči.

23 And after their reign, when iniquities will be increased, there will arise a king of shameless face and understanding negotiations.

V zadnjem času njihovega kraljestva, ko pridejo prestopniki v polni meri, bo vstal kralj krutega obličja in razumevanja temnih razsodb.

24 And his advantage will be strengthened, but not by his kind of force, and other than what he will be able to trust, everything will be eradicated, and he will prosper, and he will act. And he will execute the successful and the people of the saints,

Njegova moč bo mogočna, toda ne z njegovo lastno močjo. Ta bo izvrstno uničeval in uspeval bo in izvedel in uničil bo mogočnega in sveto ljudstvo.

25 according to his will, and treachery will be guided by his hand. And his heart will be inflated, and by the abundance of everything he will kill many, and he will rise up against the Lord of lords, and he will be knocked down without a hand.

Zaradi svoje strategije bo tudi povzročil, da bo prebrisanost uspevala v njegovi roki, in poveličeval se bo v svojem srcu in z mirom bo uničil mnoge. Stal bo tudi zoper Princa princev, toda zlomljen bo brez roke.

26 And the vision of the evening and the morning, which was told, is true. Therefore, you must seal the vision, because, after many days, it will occur.”

Videnje večera in jutra, ki je bilo povedano, je resnično. Zato zastri videnje, kajti to bo za mnoge dni.

27 And I, Daniel, languished and was sick for some days, and when I had lifted myself up, I performed the king’s works, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none who could interpret it.

Jaz, Daniel, sem bil nekaj dni slaboten in bolan. Potem sem se dvignil in opravljal kraljeva opravila, bil pa sem osupel nad videnjem, toda nihče ga ni razumel.
