< Daniel 11 >

1 “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to strengthen and protect him.
मादी दाराको पहिलो वर्षमा, म आफैं मिखाएलको मदत र सुरक्षा गर्न आएँ ।
2 Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.
अब म तिमीलाई सत्य कुरा बताउँछु । फारसमा तिन जना राजा खडा हुनेछन्, र अरूभन्दा चौथोचाहिं धेरै धनी हुनेछ । आफ्नो धनदौलतबाट त्यसले शक्ति हासिल गरेपछि, त्यसले सबैलाई ग्रीस राज्यको विरुद्ध उत्तेजित गर्नेछ ।
3 Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.
एक जना शक्तिशाली राजा खडा हुनेछन्, जसले धेरै विशाल राज्यमा शासन गर्नेछन्, र आफ्नै इच्छाअनुसार तिनले काम गर्नेछन् ।
4 But as soon as he is established, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the authority with which he ruled, because his kingdom will be uprooted and given to others.
तिनी खडा भएपछि, तिनको राज्य टुक्राटुक्रा हुनेछ र स्वर्गका चार बतासतिर त्यो विभाजित हुनेछ, तर तिनका आफ्नै वंशमा होइन, अनि तिनले राज्य गरिरहँदाको शक्तिले तिनको शक्तिले होइन । किनकि तिनको राज्य तिनको वंशको निम्ति नभएर अरूका निम्ति उखेलिनेछ ।
5 The king of the South will grow strong, but one of his commanders will grow even stronger and will rule his own kingdom with great authority.
दक्षिणको राजा धेरै शक्तिशाली हुनेछन्, तर तिनका कमान्‍डरमध्ये एकजना तिनीभन्दा शक्तिशाली हुनेछ र आफ्‍नो राज्यलाई ठुलो शक्तिले शासन गर्नेछ ।
6 After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. But his daughter will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength endure. At that time she will be given up, along with her royal escort and her father and the one who supported her.
केही वर्षपछि, ठिक समयमा, तिनीहरूले मित्रता कायम गर्नेछन् । सम्झौता पक्‍का गर्नलाई दक्षिणको राजाकी छोरी उत्तरको राजाकहाँ जान्छिन् । तर तिनको आफ्‍नो हातको बल कायम राख्‍न सक्‍नेछैनन्, न त उनले वा उनको हातले नै सक्‍नेछन् । तिनी र तिनलाई ल्‍याउनेहरू र तिनका पिता र ती समयमा तिनको समर्थन गर्ने सबै त्यागिनेछन् ।
7 But one from her family line will rise up in his place, come against the army of the king of the North, and enter his fortress, fighting and prevailing.
तर तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका जराहरूबाट एउटा हाँगो पलाउनेछ । उनले उत्तरको राजाको सेनालाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र किल्लाभित्र प्रवेश गर्नेछन् । उनले तिनीहरूसित लडाइँ गर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूमाथि विजय पाउनेछन् ।
8 He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,
उनले तिनीहरूका देवताहरू र तिनीहरूका ढलौटे फलामका मूर्तिहरू र सुन र चाँदीका बहुमुल्य भाँडाहरू मिश्रदेशमा लानेछन् । केही वर्षसम्‍म उनी उत्तरका राजाबाट टाढा रहनेछन् ।
9 who will invade the realm of the king of the South and then return to his own land.
अनि उत्तरका राजाले दक्षिणको राजाको राज्यमाथि आक्रमण गर्नेछन्, तर तिनि आफ्नै देशमा फर्कनेछन् ।
10 But his sons will stir up strife and assemble a great army, which will advance forcefully, sweeping through like a flood, and will again carry the battle as far as his fortress.
तिनका छोराहरू तयार हुनेछन् र ठुलो सेनालाई भेला गर्नेछन् । त्यो निरन्‍तर अघि बढ्‍नेछ र बाढीले झैं हरेक कुरा बगाउनेछ । सबैलाई जित्‍दै त्‍यो उसको किल्लासम्मै पुग्‍नेछ ।
11 In a rage, the king of the South will march out to fight the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy.
तब दक्षिणको राजा धेरै क्रुद्ध हुनेछन् । तिनी जानेछन् र उत्तरको राजाको विरुद्धमा लडाइ गर्नेछन् । उत्तरको राजाले एउटा ठुलो सेना खडा गर्नेछन्, तर त्यो सेनालाई दक्षिणको राजाको हातमा दिइनेछ ।
12 When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be proud in heart and will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not triumph.
त्यो सेना लगिनेछ, र दक्षिणको राजाको हृदय घमण्डले फुल्नेछ, र तिनले दसौं हजारलाई मार्नेछन्, तर तिनी विजयी हुनेछैनन् ।
13 For the king of the North will raise another army, larger than the first, and after some years he will advance with a great army and many supplies.
अनि उत्तरको राजाले पहिलेको धेरै भन्दा शक्तिशाली अर्को सेना खडा गर्नेछन् । केही वर्षपछि, उत्तरका राजा निश्‍चय नै शक्तिशाली सेनाका साथमा धेरै हतियारका साथमा आउनेछन् ।
14 In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will exalt themselves in fulfillment of the vision, but they will fail.
ती समयमा धेरै जना दक्षिणको राजाको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछन् । दर्शन पुरा गर्नलाई तिम्रा मानिसहरूका बिचमा भएका हिंसात्‍मक छोराहरूले आफैंलाई तयार पार्नेछन्, तर तिनीहरू ठेस खानेछन् ।
15 Then the king of the North will come, build up a siege ramp, and capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their best troops will not be able to resist.
उत्तरका राजा आउनेछन्, र घेरा मचान बनाउनलाई माटो थुपार्नेछन् र पर्खालले घेरिएको सहरलाई कब्जा गर्नेछन् । दक्षिणको शक्ति टिक्‍न सक्‍नेछैन, तिनीहरूका सर्वोत्कृष्‍ट सेना पनि टिक्‍न सक्दैन । खडा हुने शक्ति हुनेछैन ।
16 The invader will do as he pleases, and no one will stand against him. He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.
बरु, आउनेले चाहिं आफ्नो इच्छा अनुसार उनको विरुद्ध व्यवहार गर्नेर्छन् । तिनको मार्गमा कोही खडा हुनेछैन । सुन्दरताको देशमा तिनी खडा हुनेछन्, र विनाश तिनको हातमा हुनेछ ।
17 He will resolve to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with the king of the South. He will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plan will not succeed or help him.
उत्तरको राजा आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण राज्यको शक्तिमा आउने निर्णय गर्नेछन्, र तिनीसित सम्झौताको एउटा दस्‍तावेज हुनेछ जुन तिनले दक्षिणको राजासँग गर्नेछन् । दक्षिणको राज्यलाई खत्तम गर्न तिनले एउटी स्‍त्रीको छोरीलाई उनीसित विवाहमा गरिदिनेछन् । तर त्यो योजनाले तिनलाई सफल वा मदत हुनेछैन ।
18 Then he will turn his face to the coastlands and capture many of them. But a commander will put an end to his reproach and will turn it back upon him.
यसपछि, उत्तरको राजाले समुद्रतटका देसहरूमा ध्यान लगाउनेछ र तीमध्ये धेरैलाई अधीन गर्नेछन् । तर एक जना कमान्‍डरले तिनको घमण्डको अन्त्य गर्नेछन् र तिनको घमण्डलाई तिनैकहाँ फर्काउनेछन् ।
19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and be no more.
तब तिनले आफ्नै देशका किल्लाहरूतर्फ ध्यान दिनेछन्, तर तिनी ठेस खानेछन् र त्यो ढल्‍नेछन् । तिनी फेरि भेट्टाइनेछैनन् ।
20 In his place one will arise who will send out a tax collector for the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he will be destroyed, though not in anger or in battle.
तब तिनको ठाउँमा अरू कोही एक जना खडा हुनेछन् जसले राज्यको वैभवको निम्ति एक जना कर उठाउनेलाई घुसपैट गर्न लगाउनेछन् । तर केही दिनमा कुनै रिस वा युद्धविना नै तिनी टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछन् ।
21 In his place a despicable person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come in a time of peace and seize the kingdom by intrigue.
तिनको ठाउँमा एक जना तुच्छ मानिस खडा हुनेछ जसलाई मानिसहरूले राजकीय शक्तिको सम्मान दिनेछैनन् । ऊ अचानक आउनेछ र छल गरेर उसले राज्यलाई कब्जा गर्नेछ ।
22 Then a flood of forces will be swept away before him and destroyed, along with a prince of the covenant.
उसको सामु एउटा सेनालाई बाढीले झैं बगाउनेछ । करार सेना र अगुवा दुवै नष्‍ट हुनेछन् ।
23 After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.
ऊसित मित्रता गरेको समयदेखि नै उसले छलपूर्ण ढङ्गले काम गर्नेछ । थोरै मानिसको साथमा पनि ऊ शक्तिशाली हुनेछ ।
24 In a time of peace, he will invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.
कुनै चेतावनीविना नै ऊ प्रदेशको सबैभन्दा सम्‍वृद्ध ठाउँमा आउनेछ, र उसको बुबा वा हजुरबुबाले नगरेका काम त्यसले गर्नेछ । उसले लुटका सामान र धन-सम्पत्ति आफ्ना अनुयायीहरूसँग बाँड्नेछ । उसले किल्लाहरूलाई हटाउने योजना गर्नेछ, तर केही समयको लागि मात्र हुनेछ ।
25 And with a large army he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South, who will mobilize a very large and powerful army but will not withstand the plots devised against him.
ऊ आफ्नो शक्ति र हृदयसहित ठुलो सेनाको साथमा दक्षिणको राजाको विरुद्धमा उठ्नेछ । दक्षिणको राजाले ठुलो, र धेरै शक्तिशाली सेनासँग युद्ध गर्नेछ, तर तिनको विरुद्धमा अरूले षड्यन्त्र गरेको कारणले गर्दा तिनी टिक्‍नेछैनन् ।
26 Those who eat from his provisions will seek to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.
तिनको मिठा भोजन खानेहरूले समेत तिनलाई नाश गर्न खोज्नेछन् । बाढीले झैं तिनका सेना बगाइनेछ, र तीमध्‍ये धेरै जना मारिनेछन् ।
27 And the two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.
यी दुवै राजाहरू, आफ्नो हृदयमा एक-अर्काको विरुद्धमा दुष्‍टता लिएर, एउटै टेबिलमा बस्‍नेछन् र एक-अर्कालाई ढाँट्‍नेछन्, तर त्यो केही कामको हुनेछैन । किनभने तोकिएकै समयमा अन्त्य आउनेछ ।
28 The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; so he will do damage and return to his own land.
अनि उत्तरका राजा धेरै धनदौलत लिएर, आफ्नो हृदयलाई पवित्र करारको विरुद्धमा उठाएर आफ्नै देशमा फर्कनेछ । उसले त्यस्तै काम गर्नेछ र आफ्नै देशमा फर्कनेछ ।
29 At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time will not be like the first.
तोकिएको समयमा ऊ फर्कनेछ र दक्षिणको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ । तर यस पटक पहिलाको झैं हुनेछैन ।
30 Ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and rage against the holy covenant and do damage. So he will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.
किनभने कित्तिमका जहाजहरू उसको विरुद्धमा आउनेछन्, र ऊ डराउनेछ र पछि हट्नेछ । त्यो पवित्र करारको विरुद्ध ऊ रिसले चूर हुनेछ, र पवित्र करारलाई त्याग्‍नेहरूलाई उसले समर्थन गर्नेछ ।
31 His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.
उसको सैन्य-बल उठ्नेछ र पवित्र-स्‍थानका किल्लाहरूलाई अशुद्ध पार्नेछ । तिनीहरूले दैनिक होमबलि हटाउनेछन्, र तिनीहरूले घृणित थोक स्थापना गर्नेछन् जसले विनाश ल्याउनेछ ।
32 With flattery he will corrupt those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.
अनि करारको विरुद्धमा दुष्‍टतापूर्ण काम गर्नेहरूलाई उसले तिनलाई धोका दिनेछ र तिनलाई भ्रष्‍ट पार्नेछ । तर आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरलाई चिन्‍ने मानिसहरू बलियै हुनेछन् र सोअनुसार काम गर्नेछन् ।
33 Those with insight will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or plundered.
मानिसहरूमध्ये बुद्धिमान्‌ले धेरै जनालाई बुझाउनेछ । तर तरवार र आगोले तिनीहरू ढल्‍नेछन् । तिनीहरू कैदमा जानेछन् र धेरै दिनसम्म लुटिनेछन् ।
34 Now when they fall, they will be granted a little help, but many will join them insincerely.
तिनीहरू ढलेका अवस्‍थामा, तिनीहरूलाई थोरै सहायता मिल्नेछ । कपट गरेर धेरै जनाले तिनीहरूसँग मिलाप गर्नेछन् ।
35 Some of the wise will fall, so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
बुद्धिमान्‌मध्‍ये कोही-कोहीले ठेस खानेछन्, जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू अन्तको समयसम्म खारिनेछन्, शुद्ध पारिनेछन्, र दागरहित हुनेछन् । किनभने तोकिएको समय आउन अझै बाँकी हुन्‍छ ।
36 Then the king will do as he pleases and will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and he will speak monstrous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must be accomplished.
राजाले आफ्नो इच्छाहरूअनुसार काम गर्नेछ । उसले आफैंलाई उठाउनेछ र सारा देवहरूमाथि आफूलाई महान् बनाउनेछ । देवहरूका परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्धमा उसले आश्‍चर्यलाग्दा कुराहरू भन्‍नेछ, किनभने क्रोधको समय पूरा नभएसम्म ऊ सफल हुनेछ । किनभने जे आदेश दिइएको छ, त्यो पूरा भएरै छोड्‍नेछ ।
37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers, nor for the one desired by women, nor for any other god, because he will magnify himself above them all.
आफ्ना पुर्खाका देवहरू वा स्‍त्रीहरूले रुचाएका देवप्रति पनि उसले ध्यान दिनेछैन । न त उसले अन्य देवहरूप्रति ध्यान दिनेछ । किनभने सबैभन्दा माथि उसले आफैंलाई महान् बनाउनेछ ।
38 And in their place, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not know—with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.
यीभन्दा किल्लाहरूका देवलाई उसले सम्मान गर्नेछ । उसले पुर्खाहरूले नमान्‍ने देवलाई उसले सुन र चाँदी, र बहुमुल्य पत्थरहरू, अनि महत्त्वपूर्ण उपहारहरूले सम्मान गर्नेछ ।
39 He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing the land for a price.
सबैभन्दा बलिया किल्लाहरूलाई उसले पराई देवको सहायताले आक्रमण गर्नेछ । उसका कुरा मान्‍ने हरेकलाई उसले धेरै सम्मान दिनेछ । उसले तिनीहरूलाई धेरै मानिसहरूका शासकहरू बनाउनेछ, र त्यो देशलाई उसले इनामको रूपमा विभाजन गर्नेछ ।
40 At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships, invading many countries and sweeping through them like a flood.
अन्त्यको समयमा, दक्षिणका राजाले आक्रमण गर्नेछन् । उत्तरको राजाले दक्षिणको राजाको विरुद्ध रथहरू र घोडचडीहरू, र धेरै जहाजहरूको साथमा आँधीझैं युद्ध गर्नेछ । ऊ धेरै देशहरूका विरुद्ध जानेछ, र तिनीहरूलाई बाढीले झैं बगाउनेछ र अगि बढ्नेछ ।
41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall. But these will be delivered from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites.
ऊ सुन्दारताको देशमा जानेछ, र दशौं हजार इस्राएलीहरू मर्नेछन् । तर त्यसका हातबाटः एदोम, मोआब, र अम्मोनका मानिसमद्‍ये बाँकी रहेकाहरू उम्‍कनेछन् ।
42 He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.
उसले देशहरूमाथि आफ्नो अधिकार फैलाउनेछ । अनि मिश्रदेश बचाइनेछैन ।
43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt, and the Libyans and Cushites will also submit to him.
सुन र चाँदीका, र मिश्रदेशका सारा धन-सम्पत्तिमा उसले नियन्त्रण गर्नेछ । लिबियाली र कूशीहरू उसका पाउँमुनि हुनेछन् ।
44 But news from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will go out with great fury to destroy many and devote them to destruction.
तर पूर्व र उत्तरबाट आउने समाचारले उसलाई भयभीत बनाउनेछ, र पूर्ण रूपमा नाश गर्न र धेरैलाई विनाशको निम्ति अलग गर्न ऊ क्रोधित भएर जानेछ ।
45 He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.
उसले समुद्रहरू र पवित्रताको सुन्दरताको पर्वतको बिचमा आफ्‍नो राजकीय वासस्थानको पाल खडा गर्नेछ । उसको अन्त्य हुनेछ, र उसको निम्ति त्यहाँ सहायता गर्ने कोही पनि हुनेछैन ।
