1Прве године Валтасара, цара вавилонског, усни Данило сан и виде утвару главе своје на постељи; тада написа сан и приповеди укратко.
1In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
2Данило проговори и рече: Видех у утвари својој ноћу, а то четири ветра небеска ударише се на великом мору.
2Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3И четири велике звери изиђоше из мора, свака другачија.
3And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4Прва беше као лав, и имаше крила орлова; гледах докле јој се крила поскубоше и подиже се са земље и стаде на ноге као човек, и срце људско даде јој се.
4The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5Потом, гле, друга звер беше као медвед, и стаде с једне стране, и имаше три ребра у устима међу зубима својим, и говораше јој се: Устани, једи много меса.
5And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6Потом видех, и гле, друга, као рис, имаше на леђима четири крила као птица, и четири главе имаше звер, и даде јој се власт.
6After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7Потом видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, четврта звер, које се требаше бојати, страшна и врло јака, и имаше велике зубе гвоздене, јеђаше и сатираше, и гажаше ногама остатак, и разликоваше се од свих звери пређашњих, и имаше десет рогова.
7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8Гледах рогове, и гле, други мали рог израсте међу онима, а три прва рога ишчупаше се пред њим; и гле, очи као очи човечије беху на том рогу, и уста која говораху велике ствари.
8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9Гледах докле се поставише престоли, и старац седе, на коме беше одело бело као снег, и коса на глави као чиста вуна, престо Му беше као пламен огњени, точкови Му као огањ разгорео.
9I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
10Река огњена излажаше и течаше испред Њега, хиљада хиљада служаше Му, и десет хиљада по десет хиљада стајаху пред Њим; суд седе, и књиге се отворише.
10A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11Тада гледах ради гласа великих речи које говораше онај рог; и гледах докле не би убијена звер и тело јој се рашчини и даде се да изгори огњем.
11I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12И осталим зверима узе се власт, јер дужина животу беше им одређена до времена и до рока.
12As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
13Видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, као Син човечији иђаше са облацима небеским, и дође до старца и стаде пред Њим.
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14И даде Му се власт и слава и царство да Му служе сви народи и племена и језици; власт је Његова власт вечна, која неће проћи, и царство се Његово неће расути.
14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
15Мени Данилу пренеможе дух мој у телу мом, и утваре главе моје узнемирише ме.
15I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16Приступих к једном од оних који стајаху онде, и замолих га за истину од свега тога. И проговори ми и каза ми шта то значи:
16I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17Ове четири велике звери јесу четири цара, који ће настати на земљи.
17These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18Али ће свеци Вишњег преузети царство, и држаће царство на век и довека.
18But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19Тада зажелех знати истину о четвртој звери, која се разликоваше од свих и беше врло страшна, и имаше зубе гвоздене и нокте бронзане, и јеђаше и сатираше, а остатак ногама гажаше,
19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20И о десет рогова шта јој беху на глави, и о другом који израсте и три отпадоше пред њим, о рогу који имаше очи и уста која говораху велике ствари и беше по виђењу већи од других.
20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21Гледах, и тај рог војеваше са свецима и надвлађиваше их,
21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22Докле дође старац, и даде се суд свецима Вишњег, и приспе време да свеци преузму царство.
22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23Овако рече: Четврта звер биће четврто царство на земљи, које ће се разликовати од свих царстава, и изјешће сву земљу и погазити и сатрти.
23Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24И десет рогова јесу десет царева, који ће настати из тог царства, а после њих настаће други, и он ће се разликовати од пређашњих, и покориће три цара.
24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25И говориће речи на Вишњег, и потираће свеце Вишњег, и помишљаће да промени времена и законе; и даће му се у руке за време и за времена и за по времена.
25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26Потом ће сести суд, и узеће му се власт, те ће се истребити и затрти сасвим.
26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27А царство и власт и величанство царско под свим небом даће се народу светаца Вишњег; Његово ће царство бити вечно царство, и све ће власти Њему служити и слушати Га.
27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28Овде је крај овој речи. А мене, Данила врло узнемирише мисли моје, и лице ми се све промени; али реч сачувах у срцу свом.
28Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
