Chapter 2
1 A druge godine carovanja Navuhodonosorovog usni Navuhodonosor san, i uznemiri mu se duh i san ga prođe.
2 I reče car da dozovu vrače i zvezdare i gatare i Haldeje da kažu caru san njegov. I dođoše i staše pred carem.
3 I reče im car: Usnih san, i uznemiri mi se duh kako bih doznao šta sam snio.
4 A Haldeji rekoše caru sirski: Care, da si živ doveka! Pripovedi san slugama svojim, pa ćemo ti kazati šta znači.
5 A car odgovori i reče Haldejima: Zaboravio sam, ako mi ne kažete šta sam snio i šta znači, bićete isečeni i kuće će vaše biti bunjišta.
6 Ako li mi kažete šta sam snio i šta znači, dobićete od mene dare i poklone i veliku čast; kažite mi dakle šta sam snio i šta znači.
7 Odgovoriše opet i rekoše: Neka car pripovedi san slugama svojim, pa ćemo kazati šta znači.
8 Car odgovori i reče: Doista vidim da hoćete vremena da dobijete; jer vidite da sam zaboravio.
9 Ali ako mi ne kažete šta sam snio i šta znači, jedan vam je sud; jer ste se dogovorili da kažete preda mnom laž i prevaru dok se promeni vreme; zato kažite mi san, pa ću videti da mi možete kazati šta znači.
10 Odgovoriše Haldeji caru i rekoše: Nema čoveka na zemlji koji bi mogao kazati caru to šta ište; zato nijedan car ni knez ni vlastelin nije nikada iskao takvo šta od vrača ili zvezdara ili Haldejca.
11 I šta car ište vrlo je teško; niti ima drugog koji bi mogao kazati caru osim bogova, koji ne žive među ljudima.
12 Zato se car razljuti i razgnevi vrlo, i zapovedi da se pogube svi mudraci vavilonski.
13 I kad iziđe zapovest, te ubijahu mudrace, tražahu i Danila i drugove njegove da ih ubiju.
14 Tada Danilo odgovori mudro i razumno Ariohu zapovedniku stražarskom, koji beše izašao da ubija mudrace vavilonske;
15 odgovori i reče Ariohu, vlastelinu carevom: Zašto je tako nagla zapovest od cara? Tada Arioh kaza stvar Danilu.
16 A Danilo otide i zamoli cara da mu ostavi vremena, pa će kazati caru šta san znači.
17 Potom otide Danilo kući svojoj, i kaza stvar Ananiji, Misailu i Azariji, drugovima svojim,
18 da se mole za milost Bogu nebeskom radi te tajne, da ne bi poginuli Danilo i drugovi mu s ostalim mudracima vavilonskim.
19 I objavi se tajna Danilu, u noćnoj utvari; tada Danilo blagoslovi Boga nebeskog.
20 Progovori Danilo i reče: Da je blagosloveno ime Gospodnje od veka do veka; jer je Njegova mudrost i sila;
21 I On menja vremena i čase; smeće careve, i postavlja careve; daje mudrost mudrima i razum razumnima.
22 On otkriva šta je duboko i sakriveno, zna šta je u mraku, i svetlost kod Njega stanuje.
23 Tebe, Bože otaca mojih, hvalim i slavim, šta si mi dao mudrost i silu, i šta si mi objavio za šta Te molismo objaviv nam stvar carevu.
24 Tada otide Danilo k Ariohu, kog car beše odredio da pogubi mudrace vavilonske; i došav ovako mu reče: Ne gubi mudraca vavilonskih; izvedi me pred cara da kažem caru šta san znači.
25 Tada Arioh brže izvede Danila pred cara, i ovako mu reče: Nađoh čoveka između roblja Judinog, koji će kazati caru šta san znači.
26 A car progovori i reče Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar: Možeš li mi kazati san koji sam snio i šta znači?
27 Odgovori Danilo caru i reče: Tajnu koju car ište ne mogu kazati caru mudraci ni zvezdari ni vrači ni gatari.
28 Nego ima Bog na nebu koji otkriva tajne i javlja caru Navuhodonosoru šta će biti do kraja. San tvoj i šta ti je videla glava na postelji tvojoj ovo je:
29 Tebi, care, dođoše misli na postelji šta će biti posle, i Onaj koji objavljuje tajne pokaza ti šta će biti.
30 A meni se ova tajna nije objavila mudrošću koja bi u mene bila mimo sve žive, nego zato da se javi caru šta san znači i da doznaš misli srca svog.
31 Ti, care, vide, a to lik velik; velik beše lik i svetlost mu silna, i stajaše prema tebi, i strašan beše na očima.
32 Glava tom liku beše od čistog zlata, prsi i mišice od srebra, trbuh i bedra od bronze,
33 noge mu od gvožđa, a stopala koje od gvožđa koje od zemlje.
34 Ti gledaše dokle se odvali kamen bez ruku, i udari lik u stopala bronzana i zemljana, i satre ih.
35 Tada se satre i gvožđe i zemlja i bronza i srebro i zlato, i posta kao pleva na gumnu u leto, te odnese vetar, i ne nađe mu se mesto; a kamen, koji udari lik, posta gora velika i ispuni svu zemlju.
36 To je san; a sada ćemo kazati caru šta znači.
37 Ti si, care, car nad carevima, jer ti Bog nebeski dade carstvo, silu i krepost i slavu,
38 i gde god žive sinovi ljudski, zveri poljske i ptice nebeske, dao ti je u ruke, i postavio te gospodarem nad svim tim. Ti si ona glava zlatna.
39 A nakon tebe nastaće drugo carstvo, manje od tvog; a potom treće carstvo, bronzano, koje će vladati po svoj zemlji.
40 A četvrto će carstvo biti tvrdo kao gvožđe, jer gvožđe satire i troši sve, i kao gvožđe što sve lomi, tako će satrti i polomiti.
41 A što si video stopala i prste koje od kala lončarskog koje od gvožđa, biće carstvo razdeljeno, ali će biti u njemu tvrđe od gvožđa, jer si video gvožđe pomešano s kalom lončarskim.
42 I što prsti na nogama behu koje od gvožđa koje od kala, carstvo će biti nešto jako, a nešto trošno.
43 A što si video gvožđe pomešano sa kalom lončarskim, to će se oni pomešati sa semenom čovečijim, ali neće prionuti jedan za drugog kao što se gvožđe ne može smešati s kalom.
44 A u vreme tih careva Bog će nebeski podignuti carstvo koje se do veka neće rasuti, i to se carstvo neće ostaviti drugom narodu; ono će satrti i ukinuti sva ta carstva, a samo će stajati do veka.
45 Kako si video gde se od gore odvali kamen bez ruku i satre gvožđe, bronzu, kao, srebro i zlato. Bog veliki javi caru šta će biti posle; san je istinit, i tumačenje mu verno.
46 Tada car Navuhodonosor pade na lice svoje, i pokloni se Danilu, i zapovedi da mu prinesu prinos i kad.
47 Car progovori Danilu i reče: Doista, vaš je Bog Bog nad bogovima i Gospodar nad carevima, i koji objavljuje tajne, kad si mogao otkriti ovu tajnu.
48 Tada car uzvisi Danila, i dade mu mnoge velike darove i učini ga gospodarem svoj zemlji vavilonskoj i poglavarem nad svim mudracima vavilonskim.
49 I Danilo izmoli u cara, te postavi nad poslovima zemlje vavilonske Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, a Danilo osta na dvoru carevom.

Daniel

Chapter 2
1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
6 But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.
8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
10 ¶ The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
14 ¶ Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15 He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 ¶ Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.
24 ¶ Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
31 ¶ Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
36 ¶ This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
46 ¶ Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
