1 A druge godine carovanja Navuhodonosorovog usni Navuhodonosor san, i uznemiri mu se duh i san ga prođe.
1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.
2 I reče car da dozovu vrače i zvezdare i gatare i Haldeje da kažu caru san njegov. I dođoše i staše pred carem.
2 Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be called to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
3 I reče im car: Usnih san, i uznemiri mi se duh kako bih doznao šta sam snio.
3 The king said to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.”
4 A Haldeji rekoše caru sirski: Care, da si živ doveka! Pripovedi san slugama svojim, pa ćemo ti kazati šta znači.
4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
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.
5 The king answered the Chaldeans, “The thing has gone from me. If you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses will be made a dunghill.
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.
6 But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.”
7 Odgovoriše opet i rekoše: Neka car pripovedi san slugama svojim, pa ćemo kazati šta znači.
7 They answered the second time and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
8 Car odgovori i reče: Doista vidim da hoćete vremena da dobijete; jer vidite da sam zaboravio.
8 The king answered, “I know of a certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing has gone from me.
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.
9 But if you don’t make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the situation changes. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me its interpretation.”
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.
10 The Chaldeans answered the king and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can show the king’s matter, because no king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, or Chaldean.
11 I šta car ište vrlo je teško; niti ima drugog koji bi mogao kazati caru osim bogova, koji ne žive među ljudima.
11 It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
12 Zato se car razljuti i razgnevi vrlo, i zapovedi da se pogube svi mudraci vavilonski.
12 Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
13 I kad iziđe zapovest, te ubijahu mudrace, tražahu i Danila i drugove njegove da ih ubiju.
13 So the decree went out, and the wise men were to be slain. They sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
14 Tada Danilo odgovori mudro i razumno Ariohu zapovedniku stražarskom, koji beše izašao da ubija mudrace vavilonske;
14 Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.
15 odgovori i reče Ariohu, vlastelinu carevom: Zašto je tako nagla zapovest od cara? Tada Arioh kaza stvar Danilu.
15 He answered Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent from the king?” Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16 A Danilo otide i zamoli cara da mu ostavi vremena, pa će kazati caru šta san znači.
16 Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.
17 Potom otide Danilo kući svojoj, i kaza stvar Ananiji, Misailu i Azariji, drugovima svojim,
17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 da se mole za milost Bogu nebeskom radi te tajne, da ne bi poginuli Danilo i drugovi mu s ostalim mudracima vavilonskim.
18 that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions would not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 I objavi se tajna Danilu, u noćnoj utvari; tada Danilo blagoslovi Boga nebeskog.
19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Progovori Danilo i reče: Da je blagosloveno ime Gospodnje od veka do veka; jer je Njegova mudrost i sila;
20 Daniel answered, “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.
21 I On menja vremena i čase; smeće careve, i postavlja careve; daje mudrost mudrima i razum razumnima.
21 He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.
22 On otkriva šta je duboko i sakriveno, zna šta je u mraku, i svetlost kod Njega stanuje.
22 He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
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.
23 I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.”
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.
24 Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him: “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.”
25 Tada Arioh brže izvede Danila pred cara, i ovako mu reče: Nađoh čoveka između roblja Judinog, koji će kazati caru šta san znači.
25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said this to him: “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.”
26 A car progovori i reče Danilu, koji se zvaše Valtasar: Možeš li mi kazati san koji sam snio i šta znači?
26 The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?”
27 Odgovori Danilo caru i reče: Tajnu koju car ište ne mogu kazati caru mudraci ni zvezdari ni vrači ni gatari.
27 Daniel answered before the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded can’t be shown to the king by wise men, enchanters, magicians, or soothsayers;
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:
28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
29 Tebi, care, dođoše misli na postelji šta će biti posle, i Onaj koji objavljuje tajne pokaza ti šta će biti.
29 “As for you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what will happen.
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.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
31 Ti, care, vide, a to lik velik; velik beše lik i svetlost mu silna, i stajaše prema tebi, i strašan beše na očima.
31 “You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrifying.
32 Glava tom liku beše od čistog zlata, prsi i mišice od srebra, trbuh i bedra od bronze,
32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
33 noge mu od gvožđa, a stopala koje od gvožđa koje od zemlje.
33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Ti gledaše dokle se odvali kamen bez ruku, i udari lik u stopala bronzana i zemljana, i satre ih.
34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
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.
35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 To je san; a sada ćemo kazati caru šta znači.
36 “This is the dream; and we will tell its interpretation before the king.
37 Ti si, care, car nad carevima, jer ti Bog nebeski dade carstvo, silu i krepost i slavu,
37 You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory.
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.
38 Wherever the children of men dwell, he has given the animals of the field and the birds of the sky into your hand, and has made you rule over them all. You are the head of gold.
39 A nakon tebe nastaće drugo carstvo, manje od tvog; a potom treće carstvo, bronzano, koje će vladati po svoj zemlji.
39 “After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you; and another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.
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.
40 The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.
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.
41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay and part of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but there will be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 I što prsti na nogama behu koje od gvožđa koje od kala, carstvo će biti nešto jako, a nešto trošno.
42 As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
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.
43 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they won’t cling to one another, even as iron does not mix with clay.
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.
44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.
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.
45 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”
46 Tada car Navuhodonosor pade na lice svoje, i pokloni se Danilu, i zapovedi da mu prinesu prinos i kad.
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him.
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.
47 The king answered to Daniel, and said, “Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”
48 Tada car uzvisi Danila, i dade mu mnoge velike darove i učini ga gospodarem svoj zemlji vavilonskoj i poglavarem nad svim mudracima vavilonskim.
48 Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts, and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 I Danilo izmoli u cara, te postavi nad poslovima zemlje vavilonske Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, a Danilo osta na dvoru carevom.
49 Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel was in the king’s gate.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
7. On this account also, Daniel, foreseeing His advent, said that a stone, cut out without hands, came into this world.
… it were, Daniel saw a stone that had been cut from a mountain without hands, and had broken all the kingdoms of the earth; and he saw the stone grow and become a great mountain, so as to fill the whole face of the earth. What can be plainer, my brethren?

… by human contrivance, should overpower the whole world: and he speaks most clearly thus; And in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed, and His kingdom shall not be left to another people.

… and as he does himself say: "The feet were indeed the one part iron, the other part clay, until the stone was cut out without hands, and struck the image upon the iron and clay feet, and dashed them into pieces, even to the end." Then afterwards, when interpreting this, he says: "And as thou sawest the feet and the …
The Stone which was "cut out of the Mountain without hands," is it not Christ, who came of the kingdom of the Jews, without the work of man? Has not that Stone broken in pieces all the kingdoms of the earth, that is, all the dominations of idols and demons?
