Danilo 10
1 Treæe godine Kira cara Persijskoga objavi se rijeè Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar; i rijeè bješe istinita i o velikim stvarima; i razabra rijeè i razumje utvaru.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar. This message was true. It was about a great war. Daniel understood the message when he had insight from the vision.
2 U to vrijeme ja Danilo bjeh u žalosti tri nedjelje dana.
In those days I, Daniel, was in mourning for three weeks.
3 Jela ugodna ne jedoh, ni meso ni vino ne uðe u moja usta, niti se namazah uljem dok se ne navršiše tri nedjelje dana.
I ate no delicacies, I ate no meat, I drank no wine, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the completion of three entire weeks.
4 A dvadeset èetvrtoga dana prvoga mjeseca bijah na brijegu velike rijeke Hidekela.
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was beside the great river (that is, the Tigris),
5 I podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, a to jedan èovjek obuèen u platno, i pojas bješe oko njega od èistoga zlata iz Ufaza;
I looked up and saw a man dressed in linen, with a belt around his waist made of pure gold from Uphaz.
6 A tijelo mu bješe kao hrisolit, i lice mu kao munja a oèi mu kao luèevi zapaljeni, a ruke i noge kao mjed uglaðena, a glas od rijeèi njegovijeh kao glas mnogoga ljudstva.
His body was like topaz, and his face was like lightning. His eyes were like flaming torches, and his arms and his feet were like polished bronze. The sound of his words was like the sound of a great crowd.
7 I ja Danilo sam vidjeh utvaru, a ljudi što bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe je, ali ih popade strah velik, te pobjegoše i sakriše se.
I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision. However, a great terror came on them, and they ran away to hide themselves.
8 I ostah sam, i vidjeh tu veliku utvaru, i ne osta snage u meni, i ljepota mi se nagrdi, i ne imah snage.
So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; my bright appearance was turned into a ruined look, and no strength remained in me.
9 I èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, i kad èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, izvan sebe padoh nièice licem na zemlju.
Then I heard his words—and as I heard them, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground.
10 I gle, ruka me se dotaèe i podiže me na koljena moja i na dlanove moje.
A hand touched me, and it made me tremble in my knees and the palms of my hands.
11 I reèe mi: Danilo, mili èovjeèe! slušaj rijeèi koje æu ti kazati, i stani pravo, jer sam sada poslan k tebi. I kad mi reèe tu rijeè, ustah drkæuæi.
The angel said to me, “Daniel, man greatly treasured, understand the words that I am speaking to you. Stand upright, for I have been sent to you.” When he had spoken this message to me, I stood up trembling.
12 I reèe mi: ne boj se, Danilo, jer prvoga dana kad si upravio srce svoje da razumijevaš i da muèiš sebe pred Bogom svojim, uslišene biše rijeèi tvoje, i ja doðoh tvojih rijeèi radi.
Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you set your mind to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.
13 Ali knez carstva Persijskoga staja mi nasuprot dvadeset i jedan dan; ali, gle, Mihailo jedan od prvijeh knezova doðe mi u pomoæ; tako ja ostah ondje kod careva Persijskih.
The prince of the kingdom of Persia resisted me, and I was kept there with the kings of Persia for twenty-one days. But Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me.
14 I doðoh da ti kažem šta æe biti tvome narodu poslije; jer æe još biti utvara za te dane.
Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the last days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”
15 I kad mi govoraše tako, oborih oèi svoje na zemlju i zanijemjeh.
While he was speaking to me using these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was unable to speak.
16 I gle, kao èovjek dotaèe se usana mojih, i otvorih usta svoja, i progovorih i rekoh onomu koji stajaše prema meni: gospodaru moj, od ove utvare navališe moji bolovi na mene i nema snage u meni.
One who was like the sons of man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and spoke to him who stood before me: “My master, I am in agony because of the vision; I have no strength left.
17 A kako može sluga mojega gospodara govoriti s gospodarem mojim? Jer od ovoga èasa u meni nesta snage i ni dihanje ne osta u meni.
I am your servant. How can I talk with my master? For I now have no strength, and there is no breath left in me.”
18 Tada onaj što bijaše kao èovjek opet me se dotaèe i ohrabri me.
Again the one with an appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.
19 I reèe: ne boj se, mili èovjeèe; mir da ti je! ohrabri se, ohrabri se. I dokle mi govoraše, ohrabrih se i rekoh: neka govori gospodar moj, jer si me ohrabrio.
He said, “Do not be afraid, man greatly treasured. May peace be to you! Be strong now, be strong!” While he was speaking to me, I was strengthened. I said, “Let my master speak, for you have strengthened me.”
20 A on reèe: znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? a sada æu se vratiti da vojujem na kneza Persijskoga; potom æu otiæi, i gle, doæi æe knez Grèki.
He said, “Do you know why I have come to you? I will soon return to fight against the prince of Persia. When I go, the prince of Greece will come.
21 Ali æu ti kazati što je napisano u knjizi istinitoj. Nema nikoga da junaèki radi sa mnom u tom osim Mihaila kneza vašega.
But I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. There is no one who shows himself to be strong with me against them, except Michael your prince.”
