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.

Treæe godine carovanja Valtasarova pokaza se meni Danilu utvara poslije one koja mi se pokazala 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.

I vidjeh u utvari; a bjeh u Susanu u gradu koji je u zemlji Elamu, kad vidjeh, i vidjeh u utvari i bjeh na vodi 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.

I podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, stajaše kraj vode ovan, koji imaše dva roga, a rogovi bjehu visoki, ali jedan viši od drugoga, i viši naraste 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.

Vidjeh ovna gdje bode na zapad i na sjever i na jug, i nijedna zvijer ne mogaše mu odoljeti, i ne bijaše nikoga ko bi izbavio od njega, nego èinjaše što hoæaše, i osili.

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.

A kad ja motrah, gle, iðaše jarac od zapada povrh sve zemlje a ne doticaše se zemlje; i taj jarac imaše rog znamenit meðu oèima svojim.

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.

I doðe do ovna koji imaše dva roga, kojega vidjeh gdje stoji kraj vode, i potrèa na nj gnjevno silom svojom.

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.

I vidjeh ga gdje doðe do ovna, i razgnjeviv se na nj udari ovna, te mu slomi oba roga i ne bješe sile u ovnu da mu odoli, nego ga obori na zemlju i pogazi ga, i ne bješe nikoga da izbavi ovna od njega.

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.

I jarac posta vrlo velik; a kad osili, slomi se veliki rog, i mjesto njega narastoše znamenita èetiri roga prema èetiri 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.

I iz jednoga njih izide jedan rog malen i naraste vrlo velik prema jugu i istoku i prema krasnoj zemlji.

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.

I naraste dori do vojske nebeske, i obori na zemlju neke od vojske i od zvijezda, i pogazi ih.

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.

I naraste dori do poglavara toj vojsci, i uze mu svagdašnju žrtvu, i sveti stan njegov obori.

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.

I vojska bi dana u otpad od žrtve svagdašnje, i obori istinu na zemlju, i što èinjaše napredovaše mu.

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 èuh jednoga sveca gdje govoraše, i jedan svetac reèe nekome koji govoraše: dokle æe trajati ta utvara za svagdašnju žrtvu i za otpad pustošni da se gazi svetinja i vojska?

14 And he said to me, Until two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

I reèe mi: do dvije tisuæe i tri stotine dana i noæi; onda æe se svetinja oèistiti.

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.

A kad vidjeh ja Danilo ovu utvaru, i zaiskah da razumijem, gle, stade preda me kao èovjek.

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.

I èuh glas èovjeèji nasred Ulaja, koji povika i reèe: Gavrilo, kaži ovome utvaru.

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.

I doðe gdje ja stajah; i kad doðe uplaših se, i padoh na lice svoje; a on mi reèe: pazi, sine èovjeèji, jer je ova utvara za pošljednje vrijeme.

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.

A dok mi on govoraše, ja bijah izvan sebe ležeæi nièice na zemlji; a on me se dotaèe, i ispravi me, te stadoh.

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 reèe: evo, ja æu ti kazati šta æe biti na kraju gnjeva; jer æe u odreðeno vrijeme biti kraj.

20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

Ovan što si ga vidio, koji ima dva roga, to su carevi Midski i Persijski.

21 And the rough goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

A runjavi je jarac car Grèki; i veliki rog što mu bješe meðu oèima, to je prvi car.

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.

A što se on slomi, i mjesto njega narastoše èetiri, to su èetiri carstva, koja æe nastati iza toga naroda, ali ne s njegovom silom.

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.

A na pošljedak carovanja njihova, kad bezakonici navrše mjeru, nastaæe car bestidan 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.

Sila æe mu biti jaka, ali ne od njegove jaèine, i èudesno æe pustošiti, i biæe sreæan i svršivaæe, i gubiæe silne i narod sveti.

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.

I lukavstvom njegovijem napredovaæe prijevara u njegovoj ruci, i podignuæe se u srcu svom, i u miru æe pogubiti mnoge, i ustaæe na kneza nad knezovima, ali æe se potrti bez ruke.

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.

A reèena utvara o danu i noæi istina je; zato ti zapeèati utvaru, jer je za mnogo vremena.

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 Danilo zanemogoh, i bolovah neko vrijeme; poslije ustah i vrših poslove careve; i èudih se utvari, ali niko ne dozna.
