1 Car Navuhodonosor svim narodima, plemenima i jezicima što su po svoj zemlji, mir da vam se umnoži.
1 NABUCODONOSOR rey, á todos los pueblos, naciones, y lenguas, que moran en toda la tierra: Paz os sea multiplicada:
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
2 Svide mi se da objavim znake i čudesa što mi učini Bog Višnji.
2 Las señales y milagros que el alto Dios ha hecho conmigo, conviene que yo las publique.
2 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.
3 Znaci Njegovi kako su veliki! I čudesa Njegova kako su silna! Carstvo je Njegovo carstvo večno, i vlast Njegova od kolena do kolena.
3 ¡Cuán grandes son sus señales, y cuán potentes sus maravillas! Su reino, reino sempiterno, y su señorío hasta generación y generación.
3 How great are his signs! How mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. His dominion is from generation to generation.
4 Ja Navuhodonosor bejah miran u kući svojoj i cvetah u dvoru svom.
4 Yo Nabucodonosor estaba quieto en mi casa, y floreciente en mi palacio.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
5 Usnih san, koji me uplaši, i misli na postelji mojoj i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.
5 Vi un sueño que me espantó, y las imaginaciones y visiones de mi cabeza me turbaron en mi cama.
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
6 I zapovedih da se dovedu preda me svi mudraci vavilonski da mi kažu šta znači san.
6 Por lo cual yo puse mandamiento para hacer venir delante de mí todos los sabios de Babilonia, que me mostrasen la declaración del sueño.
6 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 Tada dođoše vračari, zvezdari, Haldeji i gatari, i pripovedih im san, ali mi ne mogoše kazati šta znači.
7 Y vinieron magos, astrólogos, Caldeos, y adivinos: y dije el sueño delante de ellos, mas nunca me mostraron su declaración;
7 Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in; and I told them the dream, but they didn’t make known to me its interpretation.
8 Najposle dođe preda me Danilo, koji se zove Valtasar po imenu boga mog, i u kome je duh svetih bogova, i pripovedih mu san.
8 Hasta tanto que entró delante de mí Daniel, cuyo nombre es Beltsasar, como el nombre de mi dios, y en el cual hay espíritu de los dioses santos, y dije el sueño delante de él, [diciendo]:
8 But at last, Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. I told the dream before him, saying,
9 Valtasare, poglavare vračima, znam da je duh svetih bogova u tebi i nikakva tajna nije ti teška; kaži san moj što sam snio i šta znači.
9 Beltsasar, príncipe de los magos, ya que he entendido que hay en ti espíritu de los dioses santos, y que ningún misterio se te esconde, exprésame las visiones de mi sueño que he visto, y su declaración.
9 “Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
10 A utvara glave moje na postelji mojoj beše: Videh, gle, drvo usred zemlje, i visina mu velika.
10 [Aquestas] las visiones de mi cabeza en mi cama: Parecíame que veía un árbol en medio de la tierra, cuya altura era grande.
10 These were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth; and its height was great.
11 Drvo beše veliko i jako, i visina mu dosezaše do neba, i viđaše se do kraja sve zemlje.
11 Crecía este árbol, y hacíase fuerte, y su altura llegaba hasta el cielo, y su vista hasta el cabo de toda la tierra.
11 The tree grew and was strong. Its height reached to the sky and its sight to the end of all the earth.
12 Lišće mu beše lepo i rod obilat, i na njemu beše hrane svemu, zverje poljsko odmaraše se u hladu njegovom, i na granama njegovim stanovahu ptice nebeske, i od njega se hranjaše svako telo.
12 Su copa era hermosa, y su fruto en abundancia, y para todos había en él mantenimiento. Debajo de él se ponían á la sombra las bestias del campo, y en sus ramas hacían morada las aves del cielo, y manteníase de él toda carne.
12 Its leaves were beautiful, and it had much fruit, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shade under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
13 Videh u utvarama glave svoje na postelji svojoj, i gle, Stražar i Svetac siđe s neba.
13 Veía en las visiones de mi cabeza en mi cama, y he aquí que un vigilante y santo descendía del cielo.
13 “I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a holy watcher came down from the sky.
14 Povika jako i reče ovako: Posecite drvo, i okrešite mu grane, pokidajte mu lišće i razmetnite mu rod; neka pobegnu zveri ispod njega i ptice s grana njegovih.
14 Y clamaba fuertemente y decía así: Cortad el árbol, y desmochad sus ramas, derribad su copa, y derramad su fruto: váyanse las bestias que están debajo de él, y las aves de sus ramas.
14 He cried aloud and said this: ‘Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit! Let the animals get away from under it and the birds from its branches.
15 Ali panj sa žilama ostavite mu u zemlji, u okovima gvozdenim i bronzanim u travi poljskoj, neka ga kvasi rosa nebeska i deo da mu je sa zverjem od trave zemaljske.
15 Mas la cepa de sus raíces dejaréis en la tierra, y con atadura de hierro y de metal entre la hierba del campo; y sea mojado con el rocío del cielo, y su parte con las bestias en la hierba de la tierra.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.
16 Srce čovečje neka mu se promeni, i srce životinjsko neka mu se da, i sedam vremena neka prođe preko njega.
16 Su corazón sea mudado de corazón de hombre, y séale dado corazón de bestia, y pasen sobre él siete tiempos.
16 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let an animal’s heart be given to him. Then let seven times pass over him.
17 To su odredili stražari i izrekli sveti da bi poznali živi da Višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim, i daje ga kome hoće, i postavlja nad njim najnižeg između ljudi.
17 La sentencia es por decreto de los vigilantes, y por dicho de los santos la demanda: para que conozcan los vivientes que el Altísimo se enseñorea del reino de los hombres, y que á quien él quiere lo da, y constituye sobre él al más bajo de los hombres.
17 “‘The sentence is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.’
18 Taj san snih ja, car Navuhodonosor; a ti, Valtasare, kaži šta znači, jer nijedan mudrac u carstvu mom ne može da mi kaže šta znači; a ti možeš, jer je u tebi duh svetih bogova.
18 Yo el rey Nabucodonosor he visto este sueño. Tú pues, Beltsasar, dirás la declaración de él, porque todos los sabios de mi reino nunca pudieron mostrarme su interpretación: mas tú puedes, porque hay en ti espíritu de los dioses santos.
18 “This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
19 Tada Danilo, koji se zvaše Valtasar, osta u čudu za jedan sat, i misli ga uznemiravahu. A car progovori i reče: Valtasare, san i značenje mu da te ne uznemiruje. A Valtasar odgovori i reče: Gospodaru moj, san da bude tvojim nenavidnicima, i značenje njegovo neprijateljima tvojim.
19 Entonces Daniel, cuyo nombre era Beltsasar, estuvo callando casi una hora, y sus pensamientos lo espantaban: El rey habló, y dijo: Beltsasar, el sueño ni su declaración no te espante. Respondió Beltsasar, y dijo: Señor mío, el sueño sea para tus enemigos, y su declaración para los que mal te quieren.
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, “Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream or the interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar answered, “My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.
20 Drvo što si video, veliko i jako, kome visina dosezaše do neba i koje se viđaše po svoj zemlji,
20 El árbol que viste, que crecía y se hacía fuerte, y que su altura llegaba hasta el cielo, y su vista por toda la tierra;
20 The tree that you saw, which grew and was strong, whose height reached to the sky and its sight to all the earth;
21 kome lišće beše lepo i rod obilan, i na kome beše hrane svemu, pod kojim stanovaše zverje poljsko i na granama mu seđahu ptice nebeske,
21 Y cuya copa era hermosa, y su fruto en abundancia, y que para todos había mantenimiento en él; debajo del cual moraban las bestias del campo, y en sus ramas habitaban las aves del cielo,
21 whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit plentiful, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation—
22 to si ti, care, koji si velik i silan, i veličina je tvoja visoka i doseže do neba i vlast tvoja do krajeva zemaljskih.
22 Tú mismo eres, oh rey, que creciste, y te hiciste fuerte, pues creció tu grandeza, y ha llegado hasta el cielo, y tu señorío hasta el cabo de la tierra.
22 it is you, O king, that have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the earth.
23 A što car vide Stražara i Sveca gde silažaše s neba i govoraše: Posecite drvo i potrite ga, ali mu panj sa žilama ostavite u zemlji u okovima gvozdenim i bronzanim u travi poljskoj, da ga kvasi rosa nebeska, i sa zverjem poljskim neka mu je deo dokle sedam vremena prođe preko njega,
23 Y cuanto á lo que vió el rey, un vigilante y santo que descendía del cielo, y decía: Cortad el árbol y destruidlo: mas la cepa de sus raíces dejaréis en la tierra, y con atadura de hierro y de metal en la hierba del campo; y sea mojado con el rocío del cielo, y su parte sea con las bestias del campo, hasta que pasen sobre él siete tiempos:
23 “Whereas the king saw a holy watcher coming down from the sky and saying, ‘Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him.’
24 ovo znači, care, i ovo je naredba Višnjeg koja će se izvršiti na mom gospodaru caru:
24 Esta es la declaración, oh rey, y la sentencia del Altísimo, que ha venido sobre el rey mi señor:
24 “This is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come on my lord the king:
25 Bićeš prognan između ljudi, i sa zverima ćeš poljskim živeti, i hraniće te travom kao goveda, i rosa će te nebeska kvasiti, i sedam će vremena proći preko tebe dokle poznaš da Višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim i daje ga kome hoće.
25 Que te echarán de entre los hombres, y con las bestias del campo será tu morada, y con hierba del campo te apacentarán como á los bueyes, y con rocío del cielo serás bañado; y siete tiempos pasarán sobre ti, hasta que entiendas que el Altísimo se enseñorea en el reino de los hombres, y que á quien él quisiere lo dará.
25 You will be driven from men and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You will be made to eat grass as oxen, and will be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
26 A što se reče da se ostavi panj sa žilama od drveta, carstvo će ti ostati, kad poznaš da nebesa vladaju.
26 Y lo que dijeron, que dejasen en la tierra la cepa de las raíces del mismo árbol, [significa que] tu reino se te quedará firme, luego que entiendas que el señorío es en los cielos.
26 Whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be restored to you after you learn that Heaven rules.
27 Zato, care, da ti je ugodan moj savet, oprosti se greha svojih pravdom, i bezakonja svojih milošću prema nevoljnima, e da bi ti se produžio mir.
27 Por tanto, oh rey, aprueba mi consejo, y redime tus pecados con justicia, y tus iniquidades con misericordias para con los pobres; que tal vez será eso una prolongación de tu tranquilidad.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.”
28 Sve ovo dođe na cara Navuhodonosora.
28 Todo aquesto vino sobre el rey Nabucodonosor.
28 All this came on the King Nebuchadnezzar.
29 Posle dvanaest meseci hodaše po carskom dvoru u Vavilonu.
29 A cabo de doce meses, andándose paseando sobre el palacio del reino de Babilonia,
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.
30 I progovori car i reče: Nije li to Vavilon veliki što ga ja sazidah jakom silom svojom da je stolica carska, i slava veličanstvu mom?
30 Habló el rey, y dijo: ¿No es ésta la gran Babilonia, que yo edifiqué para casa del reino, con la fuerza de mi poder, y para gloria de mi grandeza?
30 The king spoke and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?”
31 Te reči još behu u ustima caru, a glas dođe s neba: Tebi se govori, care Navuhodonosore: Carstvo se uze od tebe.
31 Aun estaba la palabra en la boca del rey, cuando cae una voz del cielo: A ti dicen, rey Nabucodonosor; el reino es traspasado de ti:
31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from the sky, saying, “O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: ‘The kingdom has departed from you.
32 I bićeš prognan između ljudi, i živećeš sa zverjem poljskim, hraniće te travom kao goveda, i sedam će vremena proći preko tebe dokle poznaš da Višnji vlada carstvom ljudskim i daje ga kome hoće.
32 Y de entre los hombres te echan, y con las bestias del campo será tu morada, y como á los bueyes te apacentarán: y siete tiempos pasarán sobre ti, hasta que conozcas que el Altísimo se enseñorea en el reino de los hombres, y á quien él quisiere lo da.
32 You shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass like oxen. Seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.’”
33 U taj čas ispuni se ta reč na Navuhodonosoru; i bi prognan između ljudi i jede travu kao goveda, i rosa nebeska kvasi mu telo da mu narastoše dlake kao pera u orla i nokti kao u ptica.
33 En la misma hora se cumplió la palabra sobre Nabucodonosor, y fué echado de entre los hombres; y comía hierba como los bueyes, y su cuerpo se bañaba con el rocío del cielo, hasta que su pelo creció como de águila, y sus uñas como de aves.
33 This was fulfilled the same hour on Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; and his body was wet with the dew of the sky until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.
34 Ali posle tog vremena ja Navuhodonosor podigoh oči svoje k nebu, i um moj vrati mi se, i blagoslovih Višnjeg, i hvalih i slavih Onog koji živi doveka, čija je vlast vlast večna i čije je carstvo od kolena do kolena.
34 Mas al fin del tiempo yo Nabucodonosor alcé mis ojos al cielo, y mi sentido me fué vuelto; y bendije al Altísimo, y alabé y glorifiqué al que vive para siempre; porque su señorío es sempiterno, y su reino por todas las edades.
34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.
35 I svi stanovnici zemaljski ništa nisu prema Njemu, i radi šta hoće s vojskom nebeskom i sa stanovnicima zemaljskim, i nema nikoga da bi Mu ruku zaustavio i rekao Mu: Šta radiš?
35 Y todos los moradores de la tierra por nada son contados: y en el ejército del cielo, y en los habitantes de la tierra, hace según su voluntad: ni hay quien estorbe su mano, y le diga: ¿Qué haces?
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and no one can stop his hand, or ask him, “What are you doing?”
36 U to vreme um moj vrati mi se, i na slavi carstva mog vrati mi se veličanstvo moje i svetlost moja; i dvorani moji i knezovi moji potražiše me, i utvrdih se u carstvu svom, i doda mi se više veličanstva.
36 En el mismo tiempo mi sentido me fué vuelto, y la majestad de mi reino, mi dignidad y mi grandeza volvieron á mí, y mis gobernadores y mis grandes me buscaron; y fuí restituído á mi reino, y mayor grandeza me fué añadida.
36 At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.
37 Sada ja Navuhodonosor hvalim, uzvišujem i slavim cara nebeskog, čija su sva dela istina i čiji su putevi pravedni i koji može oboriti one koji hode ponosito.
37 Ahora yo Nabucodonosor alabo, engrandezco y glorifico al Rey del cielo, porque todas sus obras son verdad, y sus caminos juicio; y humillar puede á los que andan con soberbia.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

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).
… quencheth fire, so alms quencheth sin." Again it is written, "Shut up alms in the heart of a poor man, and it shall make supplication for thee before the Lord." Again it is written, "Hear, O king, my counsel, and redeem thy sins by alms." And many other testimonies of the Divine oracles are there, whereby it is shown that …

… think also that I have the Spirit of God," and again, "that good thing which was committed to thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us." And of Daniel it is fitting to say that "the Holy Spirit of God is in him," and similarly of men who are like these in virtue.

And what [of this], that he called him "Belteshazzar, the name of" his own "god"? Thus [it seems] they accounted their gods to be nothing wonderful, when he called even the captive thus; he who commands all men to worship the image, manifold and of various colors, and who adores the dragon.
