< Daniel 8 >

1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one that had appeared to me earlier.
राजा बेलसजरले राज्‍य गर्न सुरु गरेको तेस्रो वर्षमा, (मैले पहिला देखेको दर्शनपछि) म, दानिएलले अर्को दर्शन देखें ।
2 And in the vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa, in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
मैले हेरिरहँदा, दर्शनमा मैले आफूलाई एलाम प्रदेशको शूशनको किल्लामा भएको देखें । दर्शनमा म ऊलै नहरको छेउमा थिएँ ।
3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a ram with two horns standing beside the canal. The horns were long, but one was longer than the other, and the longer one grew up later.
मैले माथि हेरें र मेरो सामु नहरको छेउमा दुईवटा सिङ भएको एउटा भेडालाई मैले देखें । एउटा सिङचाहिं अर्कोभन्दा लामो थियो, तर छोटोभन्दा लामो ढिला बढ्यो र छोटोले त्‍यसलाई जित्‍यो ।
4 I saw the ram charging toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and there was no deliverance from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.
अनि त्यो भेडाले पश्‍चिममा, त्‍यसपछि उत्तरमा, र त्यसपछि दक्षिणमा हानिरहेको मैले देखें । त्यसको सामु अरू कुनै पशु खडा हुन सकेन । तीमध्‍ये कुनैले पनि कसैलाई पनि त्यसको हातबाट बचाउन सकेन । आफूलाई जे मन लाग्‍यो, त्‍यसले त्‍यही गर्‍यो, र त्यो महान् भयो ।
5 As I was contemplating all this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came out of the west, crossing the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground.
जब मैले यसको बारेमा विचार गरिरहेको थिएँ, तब पश्‍चिमबाट आउँदै गरेको एउटा बोकोलाई मैले देखें, जो जमिनलाई नै नछोए जस्‍तो गरी द्रुत गतिमा दौडेर सम्‍पूर्ण पृथ्वीको सतहमा गयो । त्यो बोकोको आँखाहरूका बिचमा एउटा ठुलो सिङ थियो ।
6 He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with furious power.
दुईवटा सिङ भएको भेडाकहाँ त्यो आयो—त्यो भेडालाई नहरको किनारमा खडा भएको मैले देखेको थिएँ— र त्यो बोको उक्‍त भेडातर्फ शक्तिशाली क्रोधमा दौडियो ।
7 I saw him approach the ram in a rage against him, and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him, and the goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and no one could deliver the ram from his power.
त्यो बोकोलाई उक्‍त भेडाको नजिक आएको मैले देखें । भेडासँग त्यो धेरै रिसाएको थियो, र त्यसले भेडालाई हिर्कायो र त्यसका दुईवटै सिङलाई भाँचिदियो । त्यसको सामु खडा हुनलाई त्यो भेडो शक्तिहीन थियो । बोकोले त्यसलाई भुइँमा ढाल्‍यो र त्यसलाई कुल्चियो । त्यसको शक्तिबाट त्यो भेडालाई बचाउने त्यहाँ कोही थिएन ।
8 Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.
तब त्यो बोको धेरै ठुलो भयो । तर जब त्यो शक्तिशाली भयो, त्यसको ठुलो सिङ भाँचियो, र त्यसको ठाउँमा अरू चार ठुला सिङ पलाए जसले आकाशका चारै बतासलाई देखाए ।
9 From one of these horns a little horn emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful Land.
तीमध्येबाट अर्को एउटा सिङ पलायो, जुन पहिला सानो थियो, तर त्यो दक्षिणमा, पूर्वमा, र सुन्दरताको देशमा धेरै विशाल भयो ।
10 It grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth, and trampled them.
त्यो यति विशाल भयो, कि त्यो स्वर्गको सेनासँग युद्ध गर्न तयार भयो । ती सेनामध्ये कोही र केही ताराहरू पृथ्वीमा फालिए, र त्यसले तीमाथि कुल्चियो ।
11 It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; it removed His daily sacrifice and overthrew the place of His sanctuary.
त्यसले आफूलाई सेनाका कमान्‍डर जत्तिकै महान् बनायो । त्यसले उहाँबाट नियमित होमबलि खोसेर लग्यो, र उहाँको पवित्रस्थानलाई अशुद्ध पारियो ।
12 And in the rebellion, the host and the daily sacrifice were given over to the horn, and it flung truth to the ground and prospered in whatever it did.
विद्रोहको कारणले, त्‍यो सेनालाई बोकोको सिङकहाँ सुम्पिइनेछ, र होमबलि रोकिनेछ । त्यो सिङले सत्यतालाई तल जमिनमा फाल्नेछ, र त्यसले जे गर्छ त्यसमा त्यो सफल हुनेछ ।
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long until the fulfillment of the vision of the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host to be trampled?”
त्‍यसपछि एक जना पवित्र जनले बोल्‍दै गर्नुभएको र अर्को पवित्र जनले उहाँलाई यसो भनेर जवाफ दिंदै गर्नुभएको मैले सुनें, “यी दर्शनका कुराहरू रहने, होमबलि, सर्वनाश ल्याउने पाप, पवित्रस्थानको हस्तान्तरण, र स्वर्गका सेनाहरू कुल्चिइएका पूरा हुनलाई कहिलेसम्म लाग्‍छ?”
14 He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be properly restored.”
उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यो २,३०० साँझ र बिहानसम्म रहनेछ । त्यसपछि पवित्रस्थान फेरि शुद्ध पारिनेछ ।”
15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.
जब म, दानिएलले त्यो दर्शन देखें, तब मैले त्यो बुझ्ने कोसिस गरें । तब मेरो सामु एक जना खडा भए जो मानिसजस्तो देखिन्‍थे ।
16 And I heard the voice of a man calling from between the banks of the Ulai: “Gabriel, explain the vision to this man.”
ऊलै नहरको किनाराहरूका बिचबाट एक जना मानिसले यस्तो भन्दै गरेको आवाज मैले सुनें । उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “ए गाब्रिएल, यो दर्शन बुझ्‍नलाई यस मानिसलाई मदत गर ।”
17 As he came near to where I stood, I was terrified and fell facedown. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
यसैले तिनी म उभिएको ठाउँ नजिक आए । जब तिनी आए, म भयभीत भएँ र आफूलाई भुइँमा लम्‍पसार पारेर दण्डवत् गरें । तिनले मलाई भने, “ए मानिसको पुत्र, यो दर्शन अन्तको समयको निम्ति हो भन्‍ने कुरा बुझ ।”
18 While he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me, helped me to my feet,
तिनले मसँग बोलिरहँदा, मेरो अनुहार भुइँमा घोप्‍टो पारेर म गहिरो निद्रामा निदाएँ । तब तिनले मलाई छोए र मलाई खडा गराए ।
19 and said, “Behold, I will make known to you what will happen in the latter time of wrath, because it concerns the appointed time of the end.
तिनले भने, “हेर, पछि क्रोधको समयमा के हुनेछ भनेर म तिमीलाई देखाउनेछु, किनभने यो दर्शन अन्त हुन तोकिएको समयको निम्ति हो ।
20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.
तिमीले देखेका भेडाको बारेमा, जसका दुई सिङ थिए, ती मादी र फारसका राजाहरू हुन् ।
21 The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.
त्यो बोकोचाहिं ग्रीसको राजा हो । त्यसका आँखाका बिचको सिङचाहिं पहिलो राजा हो ।
22 The four horns that replaced the broken one represent four kingdoms that will rise from that nation, but will not have the same power.
अनि जुन सिङ भाँचियो, जसको ठाउँमा चारवटा अरू उम्रे, उसको राज्यबाट चारवटा राज्‍य खडा हुनेछन्, तर उसको महान् शक्तिमा होइन ।
23 In the latter part of their reign, when the rebellion has reached its full measure, an insolent king, skilled in intrigue, will come to the throne.
ती राज्यहरूको पछिल्लो समयमा, जब अपराधीहरूको पाप चरम सिमामा पुग्छ, एक जना हठी राजा खडा हुनेछ, जो धेरै बुद्धिमान् हुनेछ ।
24 His power will be great, but it will not be his own. He will cause terrible destruction and succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men along with the holy people.
उसको शक्ति महान् हुनेछ— तर उसको आफ्नै शक्तिले होइन । उसले जे कुराको विनाश गर्छ, त्‍यसमा ऊ अचम्ममा पर्नेछ । काम गर्नेछ र सफल हुनेछ । उसले शक्तिशाली मानिसहरू, अर्थात् पवित्र जनहरूका बिचमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछ ।
25 Through his craft and by his hand, he will cause deceit to prosper, and in his own mind he will make himself great. In a time of peace he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken off, but not by human hands.
आफ्नो धूर्तताले उसले आफ्नो हातमुनि छललाई सफल पार्नेछ । आफ्नै मनमा ऊ महान् हुनेछ । उसले अप्रत्‍यासित किसिमले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछ । राजाहरूका राजाको विरुद्धमा पनि ऊ उठ्नेछ, र ऊ टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ, तर मानिसका हातले होइन ।
26 The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been spoken is true. Now you must seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”
साँझ र बिहानको विषयमा बताइएका यी दर्शनहरू सत्य हुन् । तर यो दर्शनलाई मोहर लगाई बन्द गर, किनकि यसले भविष्यका धेरै दिनहरूलाई जनाउँछ ।”
27 I, Daniel, was exhausted and lay ill for days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was confounded by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
अनि, म दानिएल थकित भएँ र केही दिनसम्म कमजोर भएँ । त्यसपछि, म उठें, र राजाको कामधन्धामा लागें । तर म दर्शनको कारणले भयभीत भएँ, र यसलाई बुझ्ने त्यहाँ कोही थिएन ।
