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

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

²I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, 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.

³Then I lifted up my 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; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

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.

⁵As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch 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.

⁶He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on 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.

⁷I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none who 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.

⁸The male goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.

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.

⁹Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious 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.

¹⁰It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and some of the army and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them.

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

¹¹Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, 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.

¹²The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure 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 a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army 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?

¹⁴He said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

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

¹⁵It happened, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand 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,

¹⁶I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the 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 frightened, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to 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 fell into a deep sleep with 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.

¹⁹He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

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

²⁰The ram which you saw, that had 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.

²¹The rough male goat is the king of Greece: 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.

²²As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, 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.

²³In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, 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.

²⁴His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do his pleasure; and he shall destroy the mighty ones 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.

²⁵Through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in their security shall he 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.

²⁶The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: but seal up the vision; for it belongs to 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.

²⁷I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king’s business: and I wondered 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.
