¹ Car Navuhodonosor svim narodima, plemenima i jezicima što su po svoj zemlji, mir da vam se umnoži.

² Svide mi se da objavim znake i čudesa što mi učini Bog Višnji.

³ Znaci Njegovi kako su veliki! I čudesa Njegova kako su silna! Carstvo je Njegovo carstvo večno, i vlast Njegova od kolena do kolena.

⁴ Ja Navuhodonosor bejah miran u kući svojoj i cvetah u dvoru svom.

⁵ Usnih san, koji me uplaši, i misli na postelji mojoj i utvare glave moje uznemiriše me.

⁶ I zapovedih da se dovedu preda me svi mudraci vavilonski da mi kažu šta znači san.

⁷ Tada dođoše vračari, zvezdari, Haldeji i gatari, i pripovedih im san, ali mi ne mogoše kazati šta znači.

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.

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.

¹⁰ A utvara glave moje na postelji mojoj beše: Videh, gle, drvo usred zemlje, i visina mu velika.

¹¹ Drvo beše veliko i jako, i visina mu dosezaše do neba, i viđaše se do kraja sve zemlje.

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.

¹³ Videh u utvarama glave svoje na postelji svojoj, i gle, Stražar i Svetac siđe s neba.

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.

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.

¹⁶ Srce čovečje neka mu se promeni, i srce životinjsko neka mu se da, i sedam vremena neka prođe preko njega.

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.

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.

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.

²⁰ Drvo što si video, veliko i jako, kome visina dosezaše do neba i koje se viđaše po svoj zemlji,

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,

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.

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,

²⁴ Ovo znači, care, i ovo je naredba Višnjeg koja će se izvršiti na mom gospodaru caru:

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.

²⁶ A što se reče da se ostavi panj sa žilama od drveta, carstvo će ti ostati, kad poznaš da nebesa vladaju.

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.

²⁸ Sve ovo dođe na cara Navuhodonosora.

²⁹ Posle dvanaest meseci hodaše po carskom dvoru u Vavilonu.

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?

³¹ Te reči još behu u ustima caru, a glas dođe s neba: Tebi se govori, care Navuhodonosore: Carstvo se uze od tebe.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

¹ Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

² Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

³ I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

⁴ Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

⁵ I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."

⁶ He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

⁷ He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'

⁸ He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.

⁹ If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.'"

¹⁰ He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.

¹¹ Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.

¹² When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

¹³ He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.

¹⁴ The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, "There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!"

¹⁵ Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?

¹⁶ Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"

¹⁷ As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

¹⁸ He said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall I compare it?

¹⁹ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."

²⁰ Again he said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?

²¹ It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."

²² He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.

²³ One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,

²⁴ "Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

²⁵ When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' then he will answer and tell you, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'

²⁶ Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'

²⁷ He will say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'

²⁸ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.

²⁹ They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in the Kingdom of God.

³⁰ Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

³¹ On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."

³² He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.

³³ Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can't be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.'

³⁴ "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

³⁵ Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
