Daniel 10

In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
Treće godine Kira, kralja perzijskoga, Danielu, prozvanome Baltazar, bi objavljena riječ - riječ istinita: velik rat. On je nastojao razumjeti riječ, i razumijevanje bi mu dano u viđenju.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
U te dane ja, Daniel, žalovao sam tri sedmice:
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
nisam jeo tečnih jela; meso ni vino nije ulazilo u moja usta i nisam se mazao uljem dok ne prođoše te tri sedmice.
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
Dvadeset i četvrtoga dana prvog mjeseca bijah na obali velike rijeke Tigrisa;
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
podigoh oči da vidim, i gle: Čovjek odjeven u lanene haljine, oko pasa mu pojas od zlata ofirskoga,
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
tijelo mu poput krizolita, lice kao munja, oči kao baklje ognjene, ruke i noge poput mjedi uglađene, zvuk riječi njegovih kao žamor mnoštva.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
Jedini ja, Daniel, gledah ovo viđenje, ljudi koji bijahu sa mnom ne vidješe ga, ali ih spopade silan strah te pobjegoše da se sakriju.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
Ostadoh sam gledajući to veliko viđenje; onemoćah, lice mi problijedje, iznakazi se, snaga me ostavi.
Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
Začuh glas njegovih riječi, i kad razabrah glas, onesvijestih se i padoh licem na zemlju.
And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
I gle: ruka me dotače i pomože mi da se uprem na koljena i na dlanove.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
On mi reče: "Daniele, miljeniče, pripazi na riječi koje ću ti kazati! Ustani, jer ja sam evo k tebi poslan." To reče, a ja ustadoh dršćući.
Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
I kaza mi: "Ne boj se, Daniele, jer od prvoga dana kad si odlučio da se poniziš pred svojim Bogom da bi razumio, tvoje su riječi uslišane i ja sam došao zbog tvojih riječi.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Knez kraljevstva perzijskoga protivio mi se dvadeset i jedan dan, ali Mihael, jedan od prvih Knezova, dođe mi u pomoć. Ostavih ga nasuprot Knezu perzijskome,
Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
a ja dođoh da ti kažem što će zadesiti tvoj narod na svršetku dana. Jer još će jedno viđenje biti za one dane."
And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
Pošto mi to reče, ja oborih pogled na zemlju, bez riječi.
And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
I gle: onaj, sličan sinu čovječjem dotače se mojih usana. Otvorih usta da govorim te rekoh onome koji stajaše preda mnom: "Gospodaru moj, zbog ovog viđenja obuzeše me tjeskobe i onemoćah.
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
I kako će sluga Gospodina svoga govoriti s Gospodinom kad posve onemoćah i dah me ostavi?"
Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Tada me se opet dotače onaj što bijaše kao čovjek te me okrijepi.
And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
On reče: "Ne boj se, miljeniče! Mir tebi! Budi jak! Ohrabri se!" I dok mi to govoraše, ja se ohrabrih pa rekoh: "Govori, Gospodine, jer si me ohrabrio!"
Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
Tada će on: "Znaš li zašto sam došao k tebi? Sad ću se vratiti da se borim protiv Kneza Perzije; a čim svršim, doći će Knez Grčke.
But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
Ali ću ti prije otkriti što je zapisano u Knjizi istine. Nema nikoga tko bi se sa mnom protiv njih borio, osim Mihaela, Kneza vašega,
