¹Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.

¹A ja som stál v prvom roku Méda Dária, aby som ho posilňoval a bol mu na pomoc.

²And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.

²A teraz ti oznámim pravdu. Hľa, ešte traja kráľovia budú stáť Perzii, a štvrtý nadobudne veľkého bohatstva, viac od nich od všetkých. A keď zmocneje vo svojom bohatstve, zobudí všetko proti gréckemu kráľovstvu.

³And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

³A povstane hrdinský kráľ a bude panovať nad veľkým panstvom a bude robiť po svojej vôli.

⁴And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

⁴A vtedy, keď už bude stáť, bude skrúšené jeho kráľovstvo a bude rozdelené vo štyri nebeské vetry, ale nie medzi jeho potomstvo, ani to už nebude panstvo jaké bolo jeho panstvo, nad ktorým panoval, lebo jeho kráľovstvo bude vykorenené a dostane sa iným, mimo nich.

⁵And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

⁵A zmocneje kráľ na juhu, a jedno z jeho kniežat, a bude mocnejšie nad neho a bude panovať, a jeho panstvo bude veľkým panstvom.

⁶And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

⁶Ale po niekoľkých rokoch sa spolčia, a dcéra kráľa juhu prijde ku kráľovi severa, aby učinila mier. Ale nezadrží v sebe sily ramena, ani neobstojí on ani jeho ramä, lež bude vydaná ona i tí, ktorí ju dovedú, i ten, ktorý ju splodil, ako i ten, ktorý ju posilňoval v tých časoch.

⁷But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

⁷No, potom povstane muž z mládnika jej koreňov na jeho mieste a prijde k vojsku a vojde do pevnosti kráľa severa a bude konať proti nim a zmocní sa ich.

⁸And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.

⁸Áno, aj ich bohov s ich kniežatami, s ich vzácnymi nádobami, zo striebra a zo zlata, zavedie do zajatia do Egypta a on bude stáť nejaké roky dlhšie od kráľa severa

⁹So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.

⁹a prijde do kráľovstva kráľa juhu, ale sa navráti do svojej zeme.

¹⁰But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.

¹⁰No, jeho synovia sa dajú do vojny a shromaždia množstvo veľkých vojsk, ktoré prijde a zaplaví zem ako povodeň a prejde, a zase sa dajú do vojny, a prederú sa až k jeho pevnosti.

¹¹And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

¹¹Na to sa rozhorčí kráľ juhu a vyjde a bude s ním bojovať, s kráľom severa, a postaví veľké množstvo, a to množstvo bude dané do jeho ruky.

¹²And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.

¹²A pojme množstvo, ale jeho srdce sa povýši, a tak síce porazí desaťtisíce, ale nebude dosť mocný,

¹³For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.

¹³lebo zase postaví kráľ severa veľké množstvo, väčšie ako bolo to prvé, a ku koncu časov a rokov prijde s veľkým vojskom a s veľkým imaním.

¹⁴And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

¹⁴V tých časoch povstanú mnohí proti kráľovi juhu, a synovia násilníkov z tvojho ľudu sa pozdvihnú, aby postavili videnie, a padnú.

¹⁵So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

¹⁵Potom prijde kráľ severa a nasype val a zaujme opevnené mesto, a neobstoja pomocné ramená juhu ani jeho vybraný ľud ani nebude sily obstáť.

¹⁶But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.

¹⁶A ten, ktorý prijde proti nemu, bude robiť podľa svojej vôle, a nebude nikoho, kto by obstál pred ním. A postaví sa i v Krásnej zemi, a zkaza bude v jeho ruke,

¹⁷He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.

¹⁷a obráti svoju tvár, aby prišiel s mocou celého svojho kráľovstva, a úprimní s ním, a bude konať. A dá mu dcéru žien, aby to zkazila; ale ona neobstojí ani nebude za neho.

¹⁸After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.

¹⁸Tu zase obráti svoju tvár k ostrovom a zaujme mnohé z nich; ale knieža urobí prietrž jeho hanobeniu a nad to jeho pohanu obráti na neho.

¹⁹Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

¹⁹Potom obráti svoju tvár k pevnostiam svojej zeme a klesne a padne ani sa nenajde viacej.

²⁰Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

²⁰A na jeho mieste povstane taký, ktorý pošle vyberajúceho dane v sláve kráľovstva, ale bude skrúšený v niekoľkých dňoch, a to nie v hneve ani nie v boji.

²¹And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

²¹A zase na jeho mieste povstane opovržený človek, na ktorého nedajú slávy kráľovstva, ale prijde v pokoji a zmocní sa kráľovstva úlisnosťou.

²²And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

²²A ramená záplavy budú odplavené sťa povodňou zpred jeho tvári, a budú skrúšení, áno i knieža smluvy.

²³And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

²³Lebo od toho času, jako sa spolčia s ním, bude robiť falošne a prijde hore a zmocní sa kráľovstva s malým počtom ľudu.

²⁴He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

²⁴V bezpečnosti vnikne i do najtučnejších miest krajiny a bude robiť to, čoho nerobili jeho otcovia ani otcovia jeho otcov; lúpež a korisť a imanie im bude rozhadzovať, i na opevnené mestá bude vymýšľať svoje výmysly, a to do času.

²⁵And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.

²⁵A zobudí svoju silu a svoje srdce proti kráľovi juhu s veľkým vojskom. A kráľ juhu sa pustí do boja s náramne veľkým a mocným vojskom; ale neobstojí, lebo vymyslia proti nemu výmysly.

²⁶Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.

²⁶A tí, ktorí jedia jeho kráľovský pokrm, ho skrúšia, a jeho vojsko zaplaví zem, a padnú pobití mnohí.

²⁷And both of these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

²⁷Srdce obidvoch tých kráľov bude myslieť urobiť zlé, a za jedným a tým istým stolom budú hovoriť lož, ale sa nepodarí, lebo koniec bude ešte odložený na určený čas.

²⁸Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.

²⁸A navráti sa do svojej zeme s veľkým imaním, a jeho srdce bude proti svätej smluve, a vykoná a navráti sa do svojej zeme.

²⁹At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

²⁹Potom na určený čas sa vráti a prijde na juh, ale to posledné už nebude jako to prvé.

³⁰For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.

³⁰Lebo priplujú na neho kittejské lode, a ochabne a navráti sa a bude sa zlostiť na svätú smluvu a bude konať. A navráti sa a bude pozorovať na tých, ktorí opustili svätú smluvu.

³¹And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

³¹A budú stáť z jeho strany ramená a poškvrnia svätyňu, pevnosť, a odstránia ustavičnú obeť a dajú na to miesto pustošiacu ohavnosť.

³²And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

³²A tých, ktorí sa bezbožne chovajú voči smluve, zvedie k pokrytstvu lichoteniami. No, ľudia znajúci svojho Boha, sa zmocnia a vykonajú hrdinstvo.

³³And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

³³A rozumní z ľudu dajú rozumieť mnohým, ale budú klesať od meča a od plameňa, v zajatí a v zboji určené dni.

³⁴Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

³⁴A keď budú klesať, dostane sa im nejaká malá pomoc, a pripoja sa k nim mnohí v úlisnosti.

³⁵And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

³⁵A niektorí z tých rozumných klesnú prečistiť medzi nimi sťa ohňom, očistiť ich a zbieliť až do konečného času, lebo to tak potrvá ešte až do určeného času.

³⁶And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

³⁶A rečený kráľ bude robiť podľa svojej vôle a bude sa povyšovať a zvelebovať nad každého boha, i proti silnému Bohu bohov bude hovoriť podivné veci, a šťastne sa mu bude vodiť, dokiaľ sa nedovŕši zúrivý hnev, lebo to, čo je určené, sa vykoná.

³⁷Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

³⁷Nebude dbať o bohov svojich otcov ani o pôvab žien ani o niktorého boha nebude dbať, lebo sa bude zvelebovať nad to nado všetko.

³⁸But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

³⁸Ale na to miesto bude ctiť boha pevnosti, a boha, ktorého neznali jeho otcovia, bude ctiť zlatom a striebrom, drahými kameňmi a inými drahocennosťami.

³⁹Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

³⁹A narobí hradieb pevností s cudzím bohom. Toho, kto ho uzná, obdarí veľkou slávou, a takým dá, aby panovali nad mnohými, a za odmenu im rozdelí zem.

⁴⁰And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

⁴⁰A v tom čase, keď tomu bude mať byť koniec, podŕga sa s ním kráľ juhu. A kráľ severa prijde na neho jako víchrica s vozmi a s jazdcami a s mnohými loďami a prijde do zemí, zaplaví a prejde.

⁴¹He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

⁴¹Potom prijde do Krásnej zeme, a mnohé zeme klesnú, ale títo uniknú z jeho ruky: Edom a Moáb a prvotina synov Ammonových.

⁴²He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

⁴²A vystrie svoju ruku na zeme, a Egyptská zem neunikne.

⁴³But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

⁴³A bude vládnuť nad pokladmi zlata a striebra a nad všetkými drahocennosťami Egypta. A budú ho sledovať Lýbovia i Ethiopi.

⁴⁴But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

⁴⁴Ale ho predesia zvesti od východu a od severa, preto vyjde vo veľkom vzteku, aby zahladil a zničil mnohých.

⁴⁵And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

⁴⁵A postaví stány svojho paláca medzi morami a medzi vrchom krásy svätosti. Potom prijde k svojmu koncu, a nebude mať spomocníka.
