< Daniel 3 >

1 King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura of the province of Babylon.
नबूकदनेसर राजाले तिस मिटर अग्लो र तिन मिटर चौडा एउटा सुनको मूर्ति बनाए । तिनले त्यो बेबिलोन प्रदेशमा दूराको मैदानमा खडा गरे ।
2 Then Nabuchodonosor the king sent to call together the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, the rulers, and governors, and all the chief men of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
त्यसपछि नबूकदनेसरले आफूले स्थापना गरेका मूर्ति अर्पण गर्नका निम्ति प्रदेशका गभर्नरहरू, क्षेत्रीय गभर्नरहरू, र स्थानीय गभर्नरहरूका साथै सल्लाहकारहरू, कोषाध्यक्षहरू, न्यायाधीशहरू, जिल्‍ला अधिकारीहरू र सबै उच्‍च पदस्‍त अधिकारीहरूलाई भेला गराउन सन्देशहरू पठाए ।
3 Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
तब प्रदेशका गभर्नरहरू, क्षेत्रीय गभर्नरहरू, र स्थानीय गभर्नरहरूका साथै सल्लाहकारहरू, कोषाध्यक्षहरू, न्यायाधीशहरू, जिल्‍ला अधिकारीहरू र सबै उच्‍च पदस्‍त अधिकारीहरू नबूकदनेसरले स्थापना गरेका मूर्ति अर्पण गर्नका निम्ति एकसाथ भेला भए । तिनीहरू त्यसको सामु खडा भए ।
4 Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes, and languages:
तब उद्घोषकले ठुलो सोरले कराएर भन्‍यो, “जाति-जातिका मानिसहरू र धेरै भाषाहरू बोल्‍ने, तपाईंहरूलाई यो हुकुम छ,
5 That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music; ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up.
कि तपाईंहरूले नरसिङ्गा, बाँसुरी, वीणा, सारङ्गी, सितार, न्याउली-बाजा, र सबै किसिमका बाजाका धुन सुन्‍ने बित्तिकै तपाईंहरू सबै जनाले आफूलाई भुइँमा घोप्टो पार्नुपर्छ अनि नबूकदनेसर महाराजाले स्थापना गर्नुभएको सुनको मूर्तिको सामु लम्‍पसार हुनुपर्छ ।
6 But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
जसले भुइँमा घोप्टो पार्दैन र आराधना गर्दैन, उसलाई दन्किरहेको आगोको भट्टीमा फालिनछ ।”
7 Upon this therefore, at the time when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music: all the nations, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
यसैले जब मानिसहरूले नरसिङ्गा, बाँसुरी, वीणा, सारङ्गी, सितार, न्याउली-बाजा, र सबै किसिमका बाजाका धुन सुने, सबै मानिसहरू जातिहरू र भाषा बोल्नेहरू भुइँमा घोप्टो परे र नबूकदनेसर राजाले स्थापना गरेका सुनको मूर्तिको सामु आफूलाई लम्‍पसार भए ।
8 And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
यति बेला केही कल्‍दीहरू आए र यहूदीहरूको विरुद्धमा अभियोगहरू लगाए ।
9 And said to king Nabuchodonosor: O king, live for ever:
तिनीहरूले नबूकदनेसर राजालाई यसो भने, “महाराजा, अमर रहून्!
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man that shall bear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue:
हजुर महाराजाले नरसिङ्गा, बाँसुरी, वीणा, सारङ्गी, सितार, न्याउली-बाजा, र सबै किसिमका बाजाका धुन सुन्‍ने सबै मानिसहरू घोप्टो हुनुपर्छ र त्यो सुनको मूर्तिको सामु आफूलाई लम्पसार पार्नुपर्छ भनेर उर्दी निकाल्नुभएको छ ।
11 And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
जसले भुइँमा घोप्टो पार्दैन र आराधना गर्दैन, उसलाई त्‍यसै बेला नै दन्किरहेको आगोको भट्टीमा फालिनुपर्छ ।
12 Now there are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the works of the province of Babylon, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago: these men, O king, have slighted thy decree: they worship not thy gods, nor do they adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.
यति बेला त्यहाँ कोही यहूदीहरू छन् जसलाई हजुरले बेबिलोनको प्रदेशका मामिलाहरू हेर्न नियुक्त गर्नुभएको छ । तिनीहरूका नाउँ शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगो हुन् । हे महाराजा, यी मानिसहरूले हजुरका कुरामाथि ध्यान दिंदैनन् । तिनीहरूले हजुरका देवताहरूलाई दण्डवत् गर्दैनन् वा हजुरले स्थापना गर्नुभएको सुनको मूर्तिको सामु आफूलाई लम्‍पसार पार्दैनन् ।”
13 Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king.
त्यसपछि नबूकदनेसर रिस र क्रोधले चूर भए अनि शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगोलाई आफूकहाँ ल्याउने हुकुम दिए । यसैले तिनीहरूले यी मानिसहरूलाई राजाको सामु ल्याए ।
14 And Nabuchodonosor the king spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up?
नबूकदनेसरले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “ए शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगो, के तिमीहरूले मेरा देवताहरूको पुजा नगर्ने वा मैले स्थापना गरेको सुनको मूर्तिको सामु आफूलाई लम्‍पसार नपार्ने निर्णय गरेका छौ?
15 Now therefore if you be ready at what hour soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and symphony, and of all kind of music, prostrate yourselves, and adore the statue which I have made: but if you do not adore, you shall be cast the same hour into the furnace of burning fire: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?
अब तिमीहरूले नरसिङ्गा, बाँसुरी, वीणा, सारङ्गी, सितार, न्याउली-बाजा, र सबै किसिमका बाजाका धुन सुन्‍ने बित्तिकै घोप्टो पर्‍यौ र मैले बनाएको मूर्तिको सामु लम्‍पसार पर्‍यौ भने, सबै कुरा ठिक हुनेछ । तर तिमीहरूले पुजा गरेनौ भने, तिमीहरू तुरुन्‍तै दन्किरहेको आगोको भट्टीमा फालिनेछौ । त्‍यो कुन देवता होला जसले तिमीहरूलाई मेरा हातबाट बचाउन सक्‍छ?”
16 Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago answered and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning this matter.
शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगोले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “हे नबूकदनेसर, हामीले हजुरलाई यस बारेमा जवाफ दिनु आवश्यक छैन ।
17 For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to save us from the furnace of burning fire, and to deliver us out of thy hands, O king.
त्यहाँ कुनै जवाफ छ भने, त्यो यही हो, कि हामीले सेवा गर्ने परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई दन्किरहेको आगोको भट्टीबाट सुरक्षित राख्‍न सक्‍नुहुन्छ, र उहाँले नै हामीलाई हजुर महाराजाको हातबाट बचाउनुहुनेछ ।
18 But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.
तर उहाँले त्यस्तो गर्नुभएन भने पनि, महाराजालाई यो थाहा होस्, कि हामी हजुरका देवताहरूको पुजा गर्नेछैनौं र हजुरले स्थापना गर्नुभएको सुनको मूर्तिको सामु आफैंलाई लम्‍पसार पार्नेछैनौं ।”
19 Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated.
तब नबूकदनेसर रिसले चूर भए । शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगोप्रति तिनको अनुहार भाव बद्लियो । अनि तिनले आगोको भट्टीलाई साधारण रूपमा तताउनेभन्दा सात गुणा बढी तताउने आदेश दिए ।
20 And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
तब तिनले आफ्ना सेनामा अत्यन्तै बलिया मानिसहरूलाई शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगोलाई बाँध्‍न र दन्किरहेको आगोको भट्टीमा फाल्न आदेश दिए ।
21 And immediately these men were bound and were cast into the furnace of burning fire, with their coats, and their caps, and their shoes, and their garments.
तिनीहरूका वस्‍त्रहरू, अलखाहरू, फेटाहरू र अन्य लुगाहरूसमेत तिनीहरूलाई बाँधियो, र तिनीहरूलाई दन्किरहेको भट्टीमा फालियो ।
22 For the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.
राजाको आज्ञालाई सख्त रूपमा पालना गरिएको हुनाले र त्यो भट्टी अत्यन्तै तातो भएको हुनाले शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगोलाई त्यहाँ लाने मानिसहरू आगोको ज्वालाले मार्‍यो ।
23 But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire.
यी तिन मानिस, शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगो बाँधिएकै अवस्थामा दन्किएको भट्टीमा फालिए ।
24 Then Nabuchodonosor the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, and said: True, O king.
अनि राजा नबूकदनेसर आश्‍चर्यचकित भए र झट्टै खडा भए । तिनले आफ्ना सल्लाहकारहरूलाई सोधे, “के हामीले ती तिन जना मानिसहरूलाई बाँधेर आगोमा फालेका होइनौं र?” तिनीहरूले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “निश्‍चय नै महाराजा ।”
25 He answered, and said: Behold I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
तिनले भने, “तर चार जना मानिसलाई नबाँधिएर आगोमा हिंडिरहेका म देख्दैछु, र तिनीहरूलाई कुनै हानी भएको छैन । अनि चौथोचाहिं देवताहरूका पुत्रझैं चम्किरहेका छन् ।”
26 Then Nabuchodonosor came to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said: Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, go ye forth, and come. And immediately Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago went out from the midst of the fire.
अनि नबूकदनेसर दन्किरहेको भट्टीको ढोका नजिक आए र बोलाए, “ए शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगो, अति उच्‍च, परमेश्‍वरका सेवकहरू, बाहिर निस्क! यहाँ आओ!” अनि शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगो आगोबाट बाहिर आए ।
27 And the nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had passed on them.
त्यहाँ भेला भएका प्रदेशका गभर्नरहरू, क्षेत्रीय गभर्नरहरू, अन्य गभर्नरहरू र राजाका सल्लाहकारहरूले यी मानिसहरूलाई देखे । आगोले तिनीहरूका शरीरलाई कुनै हानी गरेको थिएन । तिनीहरूका शिरको रौं खहरिएको थिएन । तिनीहरूका लुगालाई केही भएको थिएन । अनि तिनीहरूमा आगोको कुनै गन्ध नै थिएन ।
28 Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king’s word, and delivered up their bodies that they might not serve, nor adore any god, except their own God.
नबूकदनेसरले भने, “हामी शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगोका परमेश्‍वरको प्रशंसा गरौं, जसले आफ्नो सन्देशवाहक पठाउनुभएको छ र आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई आफ्नो सन्देश दिनुभएको छ । तिनीहरूले मेरो आज्ञा नमानेर उहाँमा विश्‍वास गरे, र आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरबाहेक अरू कुनै देवताको पुजा गर्नु र तिनका सामु लम्‍पसार पर्नुको साटोमा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना शरीरलाई नै त्यागे ।
29 By me therefore this decree is made, that every people, tribe, and tongue, which shall speak blasphemy against the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses laid waste: for there is no other God that can save in this manner.
त्यसैले म एउटा उर्दी जारी गर्छु, कि शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगोका परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्ध बोल्ने कुनै जाति, राष्‍ट्र, वा कुनै भाषा बोल्ने जोसुकैलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ, र तिनीहरूका घरहरू भग्‍नावशेषका थुप्रो हुनेछन्, किनभने यसरी बचाउन सक्‍ने अरू कुनै देवता छैन ।”
30 Then the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon.
त्यसपछि राजाले शद्रक, मेशक, र अबेद्‍नगोलाई बेबिलोनको प्रदेशमा पदोन्‍ननि गरिदिए ।
