Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.
फारसका राजा कोरेसको तेस्रो वर्षमा दानिएललाई एउटा सन्देश प्रकट गरियो जसलाई बेलतसजर पनि भनिन्थ्यो। यो सन्देश साँचो थियो । यो एउटा ठुलो युद्धको विषयमा थियो । आफूले दर्शनबाट अन्तर्दृष्टि पाएपछि दानिएलले यो सन्देश बुझे ।
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.
ती दिनहरूमा म दानिएल, तिन हप्तासम्म शोक गरिरहें ।
3 I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.
तिन हप्ता पुरै नबितेसम्म नै मैले कुनै मिठो खाना खाइनँ, न मासु खाएँ, न दाखमद्य पिएँ, न त मैले आफैंलाई तेलले अभिषेक गरें ।
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,
पहिलो महिनाको चौबीसौं दिनमा, जब म त्यो विशाल नदी (अर्थात् टाइग्रिस) को छेउमा थिएँ,
5 I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.
मैले माथि हेरें र सूतीको लुगा लगाएका एक जना मानिसलाई देखें, जसको कम्मरमा उफाजको शुद्ध सुनले बनेको पेटी बाँधिएको थियो ।
6 His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.
तिनको शरीर पीतमणिजस्तो र तिनको अनुहार बिजुलीजस्तो थियो । तिनका आँखा बलिरहेका राँकोजस्ता थिए, र तिनका हात र खुट्टाहरू टल्काइएका काँसाजस्तै थिए । तिनको वचन आवाज एउटा ठुलो भीडको जस्तो थियो ।
7 Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.
म, दानिएल एक्लै त्यो दर्शन देखें, किनकि मसँगै भएका मानिसहरूले त्यो दर्शन देखेनन् । तपनि, तिनीहरूमा एउटा ठुलो त्रास पर्यो, र तिनीहरू आफू लुक्नलाई भागे ।
8 So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
यसैले म एक्लै छोडिएँ र यो महान् दर्शन देखें । ममा बल बाँकी रहेन । मेरो उज्यालो अनुहार नै अँधयारो भयो, र ममा कुनै शक्ति नै रहेन ।
9 I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
तब मैले तिनका शब्दहरू सुनें— र मैले ती सनिरहँदा, म जमिनमा घोप्टो परेर गहिरो निद्रामा निदाएँ ।
10 Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
मलाई एउटा हातले छोयो, र त्यसले मेरा घुँडाहरू र हत्केलाहरूलाई थरथर काँम्ने बनायो ।
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up trembling.
ती स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “ए दानिएल, धेरै सम्मान पाएको मानिस, मैले तिमीलाई भनिरहेका वचनलाई बुझ । सिधा खडा होऊ, किनकि मलाई तिमीकहाँ पठाइएको छ ।” तिनले मलाई यो सन्देश बोलेको समयमा, थरथर काम्दै म उठें ।
12 “Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
अनि तिनले मलाई यसो भने, “ए दानिएल, नडराऊ । बुझ्न र आफ्नो परमेश्वरको सामु आफैंलाई नम्र बनाउन तिमीले प्रयास गरेका पहिलो दिनदेखि नै तिम्रा शब्दहरूको सुनुवाइ भएको छ, र तिम्रा शब्दहरूकै कारणले म आएको छु ।
13 However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
तर फारस राज्यका राजकुमारले मेरो विरोध गर्यो, र मलाई एक्काइस दिनसम्म फारसका राजाहरूसँग राखियो । तर प्रधान राजकुमारहरूमध्ये एक, मिखाएल मलाई सहायता गर्न आए ।
14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
तिम्रा मानिसहरूलाई अन्तका दिनमा के हुनेछ भनेर बुझ्न तिमीलाई मदत गर्न म आएको हुँ । किनकि यो दर्शनचाहिं अझै आउन बाँकी दिनको निम्ति हो ।”
15 While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
जब तिनले यी शब्दहरूको प्रयोग गरी मसँग बोल्दै थिए, मैले मेरो मुहारलाई जमिनतर्फ झुकाएँ र म बोल्न सकिनँ ।
16 And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength.
मानिसका पुत्रजस्तै देखिने एक जनाले मेरो ओठहरूमा छोए, र मैले आफ्नो मुख खोलें र मेरो सामु हुनेसँग बात गरें, “हे मेरा मालिक, दर्शनको कारणले गर्दा म वेदनामा परेको छु । मसँग बल छैन ।
17 How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any breath left in me.”
म तपाईंको सेवक हुँ । कसरी म आफ्नो मालिकसँग बोल्न सक्छु? किनकि म जान्दछु कि मसँग बल छैन, र ममा सास पनि बाँकी छैन ।”
18 Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
मानिसजस्ता देखिनेले मलाई फेरि छोए र मलाई शक्ति दिए ।
19 “Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
तिनले भने, “ए धेरै सम्मान पाएको मानिस, नडराऊ । तिमीलाई शान्ति होस्! अब शाहसी होऊ, बलियो होऊ!” तिनी मसँग बोल्दै गर्दा, ममा बल आयो । मैले भनें, “ए मेरा मालिक बोल्नुहोस्, किनकि तपाईंले मलाई शक्ति दिनुभएको छ ।”
20 “Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
तिनले भने, “म तिमीकहाँ किन आएँ के तिमीलाई थाहा छ? म छिट्टै फारसका राजकुमारसँग यद्ध गर्नलाई फर्कनेछु । म गएपछि, ग्रीसका राजकुमार आउनेछन् ।
21 But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.
तर सत्यको पुस्तकमा के लेखिएको छ, म तिमीलाई बताउनेछु । तिम्रा राजकुमार मिखाएल बाहेक अरू कसैले पनि तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध मलाई शाहसी बनाउन सक्दैनन् ।”
