¹In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared unto me, [even] to 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 the vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was in the fortress of Shushan, which is in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I was by the river 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.

³And 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; and 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, and no beast could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; and 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, a he-goat came from the west over 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 the two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran upon 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 to the ram, and he was enraged with him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; and he cast him down to the ground, and trampled 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.

⁸And the he-goat became exceeding great; but when he was become strong, the great horn was broken; and in its stead came up four notable ones toward the four winds of the heavens.

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 became exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauty [of the earth].

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 became great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled upon them.

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

¹¹(And he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and from him the continual [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his 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 a time of trial was appointed unto the continual [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.

¹³And I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual [sacrifice] and of the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden down 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, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings: then shall the sanctuary be vindicated.

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

¹⁵And it came to pass, when I Daniel had seen the vision, I sought for the understanding of it, and 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] the Ulai; and he 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!

¹⁷And he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was afraid, and fell on my face; and he said unto me, Understand, son of man; for the vision is for the time of the end.

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 stupor, with my face toward the ground. And he touched me, and set me up where I had stood.

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 at the end of the indignation: for at the set time the end shall be.

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

²⁰The ram that thou sawest having the two horns: they 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 Greece; and the great horn that was 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 in its stead, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with 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 at the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors shall have come to the full, a king of bold countenance, and understanding riddles, 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 marvellously, and shall prosper, and shall practise, and shall destroy the mighty ones, and the people of the saints.

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 cunning shall he cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he will magnify [himself] in his heart, and by prosperity will corrupt many; and he will 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 hath been told is true; but close thou up the vision, for it is for many days [to come].

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: then 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.
