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, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
2 U to vrijeme ja Danilo bjeh u žalosti tri nedjelje dana.
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole 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 pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I didn’t anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
4 A dvadeset èetvrtoga dana prvoga mjeseca bijah na brijegu velike rijeke Hidekela.
In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
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 lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of 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 also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
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 didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled 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; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
9 I èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, i kad èuh glas od rijeèi njegovijeh, izvan sebe padoh nièice licem na zemlju.
Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face towards the ground.
10 I gle, ruka me se dotaèe i podiže me na koljena moja i na dlanove moje.
Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on 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.
He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood 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, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
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.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
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 make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
15 I kad mi govoraše tako, oborih oèi svoje na zemlju i zanijemjeh.
When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face towards the ground and was mute.
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.
Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
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.
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
18 Tada onaj što bijaše kao èovjek opet me se dotaèe i ohrabri me.
Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he 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, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord 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.
Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, 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 that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
