1 Прве године Валтасара, цара вавилонског, усни Данило сан и виде утвару главе своје на постељи; тада написа сан и приповеди укратко.
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
2 Данило проговори и рече: Видех у утвари својој ноћу, а то четири ветра небеска ударише се на великом мору.
2 Daniel spoke and said, “I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.
3 И четири велике звери изиђоше из мора, свака другачија.
3 Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one another.
4 Прва беше као лав, и имаше крила орлова; гледах докле јој се крила поскубоше и подиже се са земље и стаде на ноге као човек, и срце људско даде јој се.
4 “The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. A man’s heart was given to it.
5 Потом, гле, друга звер беше као медвед, и стаде с једне стране, и имаше три ребра у устима међу зубима својим, и говораше јој се: Устани, једи много меса.
5 “Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this to it: ‘Arise! Devour much flesh!’
6 Потом видех, и гле, друга, као рис, имаше на леђима четири крила као птица, и четири главе имаше звер, и даде јој се власт.
6 “After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal also had four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 Потом видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, четврта звер, које се требаше бојати, страшна и врло јака, и имаше велике зубе гвоздене, јеђаше и сатираше, и гажаше ногама остатак, и разликоваше се од свих звери пређашњих, и имаше десет рогова.
7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. It had ten horns.
8 Гледах рогове, и гле, други мали рог израсте међу онима, а три прва рога ишчупаше се пред њим; и гле, очи као очи човечије беху на том рогу, и уста која говораху велике ствари.
8 “I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking arrogantly.
9 Гледах докле се поставише престоли, и старац седе, на коме беше одело бело као снег, и коса на глави као чиста вуна, престо Му беше као пламен огњени, точкови Му као огањ разгорео.
9 “I watched until thrones were placed, and one who was Ancient of Days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.
10 Река огњена излажаше и течаше испред Њега, хиљада хиљада служаше Му, и десет хиљада по десет хиљада стајаху пред Њим; суд седе, и књиге се отворише.
10 A fiery stream issued and came out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set. The books were opened.
11 Тада гледах ради гласа великих речи које говораше онај рог; и гледах докле не би убијена звер и тело јој се рашчини и даде се да изгори огњем.
11 “I watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
12 И осталим зверима узе се власт, јер дужина животу беше им одређена до времена и до рока.
12 As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 Видех у утварама ноћним, и гле, као Син човечији иђаше са облацима небеским, и дође до старца и стаде пред Њим.
13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him.
14 И даде Му се власт и слава и царство да Му служе сви народи и племена и језици; власт је Његова власт вечна, која неће проћи, и царство се Његово неће расути.
14 Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
15 Мени Данилу пренеможе дух мој у телу мом, и утваре главе моје узнемирише ме.
15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Приступих к једном од оних који стајаху онде, и замолих га за истину од свега тога. И проговори ми и каза ми шта то значи:
16 I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. “So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 Ове четири велике звери јесу четири цара, који ће настати на земљи.
17 ‘These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who will arise out of the earth.
18 Али ће свеци Вишњег преузети царство, и држаће царство на век и довека.
18 But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’
19 Тада зажелех знати истину о четвртој звери, која се разликоваше од свих и беше врло страшна, и имаше зубе гвоздене и нокте бронзане, и јеђаше и сатираше, а остатак ногама гажаше,
19 “Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
20 и о десет рогова шта јој беху на глави, и о другом који израсте и три отпадоше пред њим, о рогу који имаше очи и уста која говораху велике ствари и беше по виђењу већи од других.
20 and concerning the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
21 Гледах, и тај рог војеваше са свецима и надвлађиваше их,
21 I saw, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them,
22 докле дође старац, и даде се суд свецима Вишњег, и приспе време да свеци преузму царство.
22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Овако рече: Четврта звер биће четврто царство на земљи, које ће се разликовати од свих царстава, и изјешће сву земљу и погазити и сатрти.
23 “So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down and break it in pieces.
24 И десет рогова јесу десет царева, који ће настати из тог царства, а после њих настаће други, и он ће се разликовати од пређашњих, и покориће три цара.
24 As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he will put down three kings.
25 И говориће речи на Вишњег, и потираће свеце Вишњег, и помишљаће да промени времена и законе; и даће му се у руке за време и за времена и за по времена.
25 He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
26 Потом ће сести суд, и узеће му се власт, те ће се истребити и затрти сасвим.
26 “‘But the judgment will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
27 А царство и власт и величанство царско под свим небом даће се народу светаца Вишњег; Његово ће царство бити вечно царство, и све ће власти Њему служити и слушати Га.
27 The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will serve and obey him.’
28 Овде је крај овој речи. А мене, Данила врло узнемирише мисли моје, и лице ми се све промени; али реч сачувах у срцу свом.
28 “Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”

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).
For the Scripture saith, "Ten thousand times ten thousand stood around Him, and thousands of thousands ministered unto Him, and cried, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord of Sabaoth; the whole creation is full of His glory." And let us therefore, conscientiously gathering together in harmony, cry to Him earnestly, as with one mouth, that we may be made partakers …
The Lord, strong and mighty." And how also He should come again out of heaven with glory, hear what was spoken in reference to this by the prophet Jeremiah. His words are: "Behold, as the Son of man He cometh in the clouds of heaven, and His angels with Him." Chapter LII — Certain fulfilment of prophecy Since, then, we …
And then, again, since there are many, yea, innumerable angels who surround the Creator, as all the prophets acknowledge,--[saying, for instance,] "Ten thousand times ten thousand stood beside Him, and many thousands of thousands ministered unto Him," --then, according to them, the angels of the Pleroma will have as images the angels of the Creator, and the entire creation remains …
… king, who is recognized as Antichrist, and after this the eternal kingdom of the Son of man, that is to say, of Christ, he says, "My spirit was terrified, I Daniel in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me," etc.

… learned them out of the divine Scriptures used in the Church, and chiefly from the prophecy of Daniel just now read; as Gabriel also the Archangel interpreted it, speaking thus: The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall surpass all kingdoms.
