Daniel 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream as he lay in bed, and was terrified by the visions of his mind. Then he wrote down the dream; the account began:	1 Prve godine Baltazara, kralja babilonskoga, usni Daniel san: utvare mu se na postelji vrzle glavom. Sažeto zapisa što je usnio.
2 In the vision I saw during the night, suddenly the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea,	2 Kazivaše ovako: Noću u viđenju pogledah, kad eno: četiri vjetra nebeska uzbibaše veliko more.
3 from which emerged four immense beasts, each different from the others.	3 Četiri goleme nemani iziđoše iz mora, svaka drukčija.
4 The first was like a lion, but with eagle's wings. While I watched, the wings were plucked; it was raised from the ground to stand on two feet like a man, and given a human mind.	4 Prva bijaše kao lav, a krila joj orlovska. Dok je promatrah, krila joj se iščupaše, diže se ona sa zemlje i uspravi na noge kao čovjek, i bijaše joj dano srce čovječje.
5 The second was like a bear; it was raised up on one side, and among the teeth in its mouth were three tusks. It was given the order, "Up, devour much flesh."	5 Kad eno druga neman: gle, sasvim drukčija: kao medvjed, s jedne strane uspravljena, tri joj rebra u raljama, među zubima. I bijaše joj rečeno: »Ustani, nažderi se mesa!«
6 After this I looked and saw another beast, like a leopard; on its back were four wings like those of a bird, and it had four heads. To this beast dominion was given.	6 Gledah dalje, i evo: treća neman kao leopard, na leđima joj četiri ptičja krila: imaše četiri glave, i dana joj je moć.
7 After this, in the visions of the night I saw the fourth beast, different from all the others, terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength; it had great iron teeth with which it devoured and crushed, and what was left it trampled with its feet.	7 Zatim, u noćnim viđenjima, pogledah, kad eno: četvrta neman, strahovita, užasna, izvanredno snažna: imaše velike gvozdene zube; ona žderaše, mrvljaše, a što preostade, gazila je nogama. Razlikovala se od prijašnjih nemani i imaše deset rogova.
8 I was considering the ten horns it had, when suddenly another, a little horn, sprang out of their midst, and three of the previous horns were torn away to make room for it. This horn had eyes like a man, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly.	8 Promatrah joj rogove, i gle: među njima poraste jedan mali rog; i pred tim se rogom iščupaše tri prijašnja roga. I gle, na tome rogu oči kao oči čovječje i usta koja govorahu velike hule.
9 As I watched, Thrones were set up and the Ancient One took his throne. His clothing was snow bright, and the hair on his head as white as wool; His throne was flames of fire, with wheels of burning fire.	9 Gledao sam: Prijestolja bjehu postavljena i Pradavni sjede. Odijelo mu bijelo poput snijega; vlasi na glavi kao čista vuna. Njegovo prijestolje kao plamenovi ognjeni i točkovi kao žarki oganj.
10 A surging stream of fire flowed out from where he sat; Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him, and myriads upon myriads attended him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.	10 Rijeka ognjena tekla, izvirala ispred njega. Tisuću tisuća služahu njemu, mirijade stajahu pred njim. Sud sjede, knjige se otvoriše.
11 I watched, then, from the first of the arrogant words which the horn spoke, until the beast was slain and its body thrown into the fire to be burnt up.	11 Ja gledah tada, zbog buke velikih hula što ih govoraše rog, i dok gledah, neman bî ubijena, njezino tijelo raskomadano i predano ognju.
12 The other beasts, which also lost their dominion, were granted a prolongation of life for a time and a season.	12 Ostalim nemanima vlast bî oduzeta, ali im duljina života bî na jedno vrijeme i rok.
13 As the visions during the night continued, I saw One like a son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven; When he reached the Ancient One and was presented before him,	13 Sinu čovječjemu Gledah u noćnim viđenjima i gle, na oblacima nebeskim dolazi kao Sin čovječji. On se približi Pradavnome i dovedu ga k njemu.
14 He received dominion, glory, and kingship; nations and peoples of every language serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed.	14 Njemu bî predana vlast, čast i kraljevstvo, da mu služe svi narodi, plemena i jezici. Vlast njegova vlast je vječna i nikada neće proći, kraljevstvo njegovo neće propasti.
15 I, Daniel, found my spirit anguished within its sheath of flesh, and I was terrified by the visions of my mind.	15 Meni, Danielu, smete se zbog toga sav duh, viđenja mi se vrzoše glavom, svega me prestraviše.
16 I approached one of those present and asked him what all this meant in truth; in answer, he made known to me the meaning of the things:	16 Pristupih jednome od onih koji stajahu ondje i zamolih ga da mi rekne istinu o svemu tome. On mi odgovori i kaza mi značenje:
17 "These four great beasts stand for four kingdoms which shall arise on the earth.	17 »One četiri goleme nemani jesu četiri kralja koji će se dići na zemlji.
18 But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingship, to possess it forever and ever."	18 Ali će od njih kraljevstvo preuzeti Sveci Svevišnjega i oni će ga posjedovati za vijeke vjekova.«
19 But I wished to make certain about the fourth beast, so very terrible and different from the others, devouring and crushing with its iron teeth and bronze claws, and trampling with its feet what was left;	19 Zaželjeh tada saznati istinu o četvrtoj nemani, onoj koja se razlikovaše od svih drugih, bila izvanredno strašna, imala gvozdene zube i mjedene pandže i koja je žderala i mrvila i nogama gazila što preostajaše;
20 about the ten horns on its head, and the other one that sprang up, before which three horns fell; about the horn with the eyes and the mouth that spoke arrogantly, which appeared greater than its fellows.	20 i o deset rogova što bijahu na njezinoj glavi, i o drugom rogu koji poraste dok tri prva otpadoše – o rogu koji imaše oči i usta što govorahu velike hule i koji bijaše veći nego drugi rogovi.
21 For, as I watched, that horn made war against the holy ones and was victorious	21 I gledao sam kako ovaj rog ratuje protiv Svetaca te ih nadvladava,
22 until the Ancient One arrived; judgment was pronounced in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came when the holy ones possessed the kingdom.	22 dok ne dođe Pradavni, koji dosudi pravdu Svecima Svevišnjega, i dok ne dođe vrijeme kad Sveci zaposjedoše kraljevstvo.
23 He answered me thus: "The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, different from all the others; It shall devour the whole earth, beat it down, and crush it.	23 On reče: »Četvrta neman bit će četvrto kraljevstvo na zemlji, različito od svih kraljevstava. Progutat će svu zemlju, zgazit’ je i smrviti.
24 The ten horns shall be ten kings rising out of that kingdom; another shall rise up after them, Different from those before him, who shall lay low three kings.	24 A deset rogova: Od ovoga kraljevstva nastat će deset kraljeva, a iza njih će se podići jedan drugi različit od onih prvih – i oborit će tri kralja.
25 He shall speak against the Most High and oppress the holy ones of the Most High, thinking to change the feast days and the law. They shall be handed over to him for a year, two years, and a half-year.	25 On će huliti na Svevišnjega, zatirati Svece Svevišnjega; pomišljat će da promijeni blagdane i Zakon, i Sveci će biti predani u njegove ruke na jedno vrijeme i dva vremena i polovinu vremena.
26 But when the court is convened, and his power is taken away by final and absolute destruction,	26 Tada će sjesti Sud, vlast mu oduzeti, razoriti, sasvim uništiti.
27 Then the kingship and dominion and majesty of all the kingdoms under the heavens shall be given to the holy people of the Most High, Whose kingdom shall be everlasting: all dominions shall serve and obey him."	27 A kraljevstvo, vlast i veličanstvo pod svim nebesima dat će se puku Svetaca Svevišnjega. Kraljevstvo njegovo kraljevstvo je vječno, i sve vlasti služit će mu i pokoravati se njemu.«
28 The report concluded: I, Daniel, was greatly terrified by my thoughts, and my face blanched, but I kept the matter to myself.	28 Ovdje se završava izvještaj. Ja, Daniel, bijah vrlo potresen u svojim mislima i lice mi problijedje, ali sve ovo sačuvah u srcu svojemu.
