¹In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

¹V treťom roku kraľovania kráľa Balsazára ukázalo sa mi videnie, mne Danielovi, po videní, ktoré sa mi ukázalo na počiatku.

²And 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 of Ulai.

²A tedy videl som vo videní. A keď som to videl, bol som na hrade Susane, ktorý je v krajine Élame, a videl som vo videní, že som pri potoku Ulai.

³Then I lifted up mine 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.

³A pozdvihnúc svoje oči videl som a hľa, jeden baran stál pred potokom a mal dva rohy. A rohy boly vysoké, a jeden bol vyšší ako ten druhý, a ten vyšší vystúpil neskoršie.

⁴I 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.

⁴Videl som barana, že drgal oproti moru, na západ, na sever a na juh, a niktoré zviera neobstálo pred ním, ani nebolo nikoho, kto by bol mohol vytrhnúť z jeho moci, a robil, čo chcel, a stal sa veľkým.

⁵And as I was considering, behold, an he 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.

⁵A ja som pozoroval a hľa, kozol z kôz prichádzal od západu na tvár celej zeme, a nikto sa ho nedotýkal na zemi. A kozol mal značný roh medzi svojimi očima.

⁶And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

⁶Prišiel až k baranovi, ktorý to mal tie dva rohy, ktorého som bol videl stáť pred potokom, a bežal k nemu v prchlivosti svojej sily.

⁷And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake 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.

⁷A videl som ho, že dospel až po bok k samému baranovi a rozľútiac sa na neho uderil barana a polámal oba jeho rohy, a nebolo v baranovi sily, aby bol mohol obstáť pred ním, hodil ho na zem a pošliapal ho, ani nemal baran nikoho, kto by ho bol vytrhol z jeho moci.

⁸Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

⁸A kozol sa stal náramne veľkým. A keď zmocnel, zlomený bol jeho veľký roh, a na jeho miesto vystúpily značné štyri iné rohy vo štyri vetry nebies.

⁹And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

⁹Z jedného z nich vyšiel jeden malý roh a stal sa až príliš veľkým smerom k poludniu a k východu a ku Krásnej zemi.

¹⁰And it waxed 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.

¹⁰Zmohutnel až po nebeské vojsko a svrhol niektorých z toho vojska na zem i niektoré z hviezd a pošliapal ich.

¹¹Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.

¹¹Áno, zmohutnel tak, že sa odvážil až po knieža toho vojska, a od neho bola odňatá ustavičná obeť, a svrhnutý bol príbytok jeho svätyne.

¹²And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

¹²A roh si dal vojsko proti ustavičnej obeti v neprávosti a hodil pravdu na zem a robil, čo chcel, a darilo sa mu.

¹³Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, 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?

¹³A počul som hovoriť jedného svätého, a riekol jeden iný svätý istému, tomu, ktorý to hovoril: Dokedy ide to videnie o ustavičnej obeti a o tej pustošiacej neprávosti, dokedy budú vydané i svätyňa i vojsko na pošliapanie?

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

¹⁴A povedal mi: Až bude dva tisíce tristokrát večer a ráno, potom bude ospravedlnená svätyňa.

¹⁵And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

¹⁵A stalo sa, keď som videl, ja Daniel, to videnie a hľadal som porozumieť mu, tu hľa, razom stál predo mnou ktosi na pohľad ako muž,

¹⁶And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

¹⁶a počul som hlas človeka medzi brehami Ulai-a, ktorý zavolal a povedal: Gabrielu, vylož tomuto videnie!

¹⁷So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

¹⁷Vtedy prišiel ta vedľa, kde som stál a keď prišiel, zhrozil som sa a padnul som na svoju tvár. A povedal mi: Rozumej, synu človeka, lebo videnie sa vzťahuje na čas konca.

¹⁸Now 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.

¹⁸A v tom, čo hovoril so mnou, usnul som tvrde a ležal som tvárou k zemi. Potom dotkol sa ma a postavil ma zase ta, kde som stál.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹A povedal: Hľa, oznámim ti to, čo bude po tom hneve, lebo na určený čas bude koniec.

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

²⁰Baran, ktorého si videl, ktorý to mal tie dva rohy, sú kráľovia Médov a Peržanov.

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

²¹A kozol, ten chlpatý, je grécky kráľ, a veľký roh, ktorý bol medzi jeho očima, je prvý kráľ.

²²Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

²²A to, že bol roh zlomený, a že štyri iné rohy povstaly miesto neho, znamená, že z toho istého národa povstane štvoro kráľovstiev, ale už nie v jeho sile.

²³And 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.

²³A na konci času ich kráľovstva, keď dokonajú tí neprávostníci, povstane tvrdý kráľ nestudatý a pritom chytrý, ktorý bude rozumieť záhadným veciam.

²⁴And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

²⁴A jeho sila zmocneje, ale nie jeho vlastnou silou, a bude hubiť na podiv, a šťastne sa mu povedie, a vykoná všetko a zahubí mocných i ľud svätých.

²⁵And through his policy also he shall cause craft 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.

²⁵Pre jeho rozum bude sa mu dariť lesť v jeho ruke, a zvelebí seba vo svojom srdci a že bude ubezpečený v pokoji, zahubí mnohých, ba ešte i na Knieža kniežat povstane, ale bude skrúšený, pretože nebude ruky, ktorá by mu pomohla.

²⁶And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

²⁶A videnie večera a rána, o ktorom bolo povedané, je pravda. A ty zavri videnie, lebo sa vzťahuje na dobu o mnoho dní.

²⁷And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

²⁷A ja, Daniel, som ochorel z toho a bol som nemocný niekoľko dní. Ale potom som vstal a konal som prácu kráľovu a bol som predesený pre videnie, ale nikto toho nespozoroval.
