Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमका शासनकालको तेस्रो वर्षमा, बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर यरूशलेममा आए र यसका सबै आपूर्तिहरू बन्द गर्न सहरलाई घेरा हाले ।
2 And the Lord gave into his hand Joakim king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he brought them into the land of Sennaar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
परमप्रभुले यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीममाथि नबूकदनेसरलाई विजय दिनुभयो, र उहाँले परमेश्वरको मन्दिरबाट केही पवित्र थोकहरू तिनलाई दिनुभयो । ती तिनले बेबिलोनियाको देशको आफ्नो देवताको भवनमा ल्याए, र ती पवित्र थोकहरूलाई तिनले आफ्नो देवताको भण्डारमा राखे ।
3 And the king told Asphanez his chief eunuch, to bring in some of the captive children of Israel, and of the seed of the kingdom, and of the princes;
राजाले आफ्ना प्रमुख अधिकारी अशपेनजलाई इस्राएलका राजकीय परिवार र कुलिनहरूबाट केही मानिसहरू ल्याउने हुकुम गरे—
4 young men in whom was no blemish, and beautiful in appearance, and skilled in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and acquainted with prudence, and who had ability to stand in the house before the king, and the king gave commandment to teach them the learning and language of the Chaldeans.
खोटबिनाका जवान मानिसहरू, आकर्षक देखिनेहरू, सबै बुद्धिका सीप भएकाहरू, ज्ञान र समझले भरिएकाहरू, र राजाको दरवारमा सेवा पुर्याउनलाई योग्यहरू हुनुपर्थ्यो । तिनले उनीहरूलाई बेबिलोनका साहित्य र भाषा सिकाउनुपर्थ्यो ।
5 And the king appointed them a daily portion from the king's table, and from the wine which he drank; and [gave orders] to nourish them three years, and [that] afterwards they should stand before the king.
राजाले आफ्ना मीठा भोजन र आफूले पिउने दाखमद्यबाट तिनीहरूका निम्ति दैनिक भाग अलग गर्थे । ती जवान मानिसहरूलाई तिन वर्षसम्म तालिम दनुपर्थ्यो, र त्यसपछि, तिनीहरूले राजाको सेवा गर्नुपर्थ्यो ।
6 Now these were amongst them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael.
यहूदाका ती मानिसमध्ये कोही दानिएल, हनन्याह, मीशाएल र अजर्याह थिए ।
7 And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltasar; and to Ananias, Sedrach; and to Misael, Misach; and to Azarias, Abdenago.
प्रमुख अधिकारीले तिनीहरूलाई यी नाउँहरू दिए: दानिएललाई तिनले बेलतसजर भने, हनन्याहलाई तिनले शद्रक भने, मीशाएललाई तिनले मेशक भने र अजर्याहलाई तिनले अबेद्नगो भने ।
8 And Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the king's table, nor with the wine of his drink: and he entreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
तर दानिएलले राजाका मीठा भोजन र तिनले पिउने दाखमद्यले आफैंलाई अशुद्ध नपार्नलाई आफ्नो मनमा इच्छा गरे । यसैले तिनले आफैंलाई अशुद्ध पार्नु नपरोस् भनेर प्रमुख अधिकारीसँग तिनले अनुमति मागे ।
9 Now God [had] brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.
अब प्रमुख अधिकारीले दानिएललाई गरेको आदरद्वारा परमेश्वरले तिनलाई कृपा र सहानुभूति देखाउनुभयो ।
10 And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy in comparison of the young men your equals; also shall you endanger my head to the king.
प्रमुख अधिकारीले दानिएललाई यसो भने, “म आफ्ना मालिक, महाराजादेखि डराउँछु । तिमीले के खाने र पिउने भन्ने बारेमा उहाँले आज्ञा गर्नुभएको छ । तिमीहरूकै उमेरका अरू जवान मानिसहरूभन्दा तिमीहरू उहाँको सामु किन कमजोर देखिने?”
11 And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, [and] Azarias.
तब दानिएल, हनन्याह, मीशाएल र अजर्याहमाथि प्रमुख अधिकारीले खटाएका भण्डारेसँग दानिएलले कुरा गरे ।
12 Prove now your servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water:
तिनले भने, “कृपया, हामी तपाईंका सेवकहरूलाई दस दिनसम्म जाँच्नुहोस् । हामीलाई खानलाई सागपात र पिउनलाई पानी मात्र दिनुहोस् ।
13 And let our countenances be seen by you, and the countenances of the children that eat [at] the king's table; and deal with your servants according as you shall see.
त्यसपछि राजाका मिठा भोजन खाने जवान मानिसहरूका सामु हाम्रो अनुहार कस्तो देखिन्छ तुलना गरेर हेर्नुहोस्, र हामी तपाईंका सेवकहरूलाई तपाईंले जे देख्नुहुन्छ, त्यसअनुसार व्यवहार गर्नुहोस् ।”
14 And he listened to them, and proved them ten days.
यसैले भण्डारे तिनका कुरामा सहमत भए, र तिनले दस दिनसम्म तिनीहरूको जाँच गरे ।
15 And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and stouter in flesh, than the children that fed at the king's table.
दस दिनको अन्त्यमा, राजाका मीठा भोजन खाने सबै जवान मानिसहरूभन्दा तिनीहरूका अनुहार बढी स्वस्थ देखिए, र तिनीहरूले बढी पोषण पाएका देखा परे ।
16 So Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse.
यसैले ती भण्डारेले तिनीहरूका सबै राजकीय मीठा भोजन र दाखमद्य हटाइदिए, अनि तिनीहरूलाई सागपात मात्र दिए ।
17 And [as for] these four children, God gave them understanding and prudence in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
यी चार जना जवान मानिसहरूका विषयमा परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सबै साहित्य र बुद्धिमा ज्ञान र अन्तर्दृष्टि दिनुभयो, अनि दानिएलले सबै किसिमका दर्शनहरू र सपनाहरू बुझ्न सक्थे ।
18 And at the end of the days, [after] which the king had given orders to bring them in, then the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor.
तिनीहरूलाई हाजिर गराउनलाई राजाले दिएका समयको अन्तमा, प्रमुख अधिकारीले तिनीहरूलाई भित्र नबूकदनेसरको सामु लगे ।
19 And the king spoke with them; and there were not found out of them all any like Daniel, and Ananias and Misael, and Azarias: and they stood before the king.
राजाले तिनीहरूसँग कुरा गरे, र दानिएल, हनन्याह, मीशाएल र अजर्याहसँग तुलना गर्नलाई सम्पूर्ण समूहमा अरू कोही भेटिएन । तिनीहरू राजाको सामु तिनको सेवा गर्न खडा भए ।
20 And in every matter of wisdom and knowledge wherein the king questioned them, he found them ten times wiser than all the enchanters and sorcerers that were in all his kingdom.
राजाले तिनीहरूलाई सोधेका ज्ञान र समझका सबै प्रश्नहरूमा, तिनको सारा राज्यमा भएका जादुगरहरू र मृतहरूसँग बातचित गर्न सक्छौं भनेर दावी सबै जनाभन्दा तिनीहरू दस गुणा असल थिए ।
21 And Daniel continued till the first year of king Cyrus.
राजा कोरेसको शासनकालको पहिलो वर्षसम्म दानिएल त्यहाँ थिए ।
