Daniel 4
1 “Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great!
नबूकदनेसर राजाले पृथ्वीमा बस्ने सबै मानिसहरू जातिहरू, र भाषा बोल्नेहरूलाई यो उर्दी पठाए: तिमीहरूमा प्रशस्त शान्ति होस् ।
2 The signs and wonders that God Most High has done with me, it is good before me to show.
सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरले मेरो निम्ति गर्नुभएका चिन्हहरू र आश्चर्य कामहरू बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई बताउनु मलाई असल लागेको छ ।
3 How great His signs! And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and His rule [is] with generation and generation.
उहाँका चिन्हहरू कति महान् छन्, र उहाँका आश्चर्य कामहरू कति शक्तिशाली छन्! उहाँको राज्य अनन्तको राज्य हो, र उहाँको प्रभुत्व पुस्ता-पुस्तासम्म रहन्छ ।
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
म, नबूकदनेसर, मेरो महलमा खुशीसाथ बसिरहेको थिएँ, र म आफ्नो दरबारमा समृद्धिमा आनन्दित थिएँ ।
5 a dream I have seen, and it makes me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, trouble me.
तर मैले देखेको एउटा सपनाले मलाई त्रसित बनायो । म त्यहाँ पल्टिरहँदा, मैले देखेका दृश्यहरू र मेरो मनका दर्शनहरूले मलाई व्याकुल बनाए ।
6 And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know.
यसैले बेबिलोनमा भएका सबै बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई मेरो सामु उपस्थित हुनलाई मैले एउटा उर्दी निकालें ताकि तिनीहरूले उक्त सपनाको अर्थ मलाई बताउन सकून् ।
7 Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.
त्यसपछि जादुगरहरू, मृतहरूसँग बोल्न सक्छौं भनेर दावी गर्नेहरू, बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू र ज्योतिषीहरू आए । मैले तिनीहरूलाई सपना सुनाएँ, तर तिनीहरूले त्यसको अर्थ मलाई भन्न सकेनन् ।
8 And at last Daniel has come up before me, whose name [is] Belteshazzar—according to the name of my god—and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told:
तर अन्तमा दानिएल आए— जसलाई मेरा देवताको नाउँ बेलतसजर दिइयो, र जसमा पवित्र देवहरूका आत्मा छन्— र मैले तिनलाई सपना सुनाएँ ।
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you, and no secret presses you, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell.
“ए बेलतसजर, जादुगरहरूका प्रमुख, पवित्र देवताहरूका आत्मा तिमीमा छन् भनी म जान्दछु र तिम्रो निम्ति कुनै पनि रहस्य कठिन हुँदैन । मैले आफ्नो सपनामा के देखें र त्यसको अर्थ के हो सो मलाई बताऊ ।
10 As for the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [is] great:
म आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा पल्टिँदा मैले देखेका दर्शनहरू यी नै हुन्: मैले हेरें, र पृथ्वीको बिचमा एउटा रूख थियो, र त्यो अत्यन्तै अग्लो थियो ।
11 the tree has become great, indeed, strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land;
त्यो रूख बढ्यो र बलियो भयो । त्यसको टुप्पो आकाशसम्मै पुग्यो, र पृथ्वीको पल्लो छेउबाट पनि त्यो देख्न सकिन्थ्यो ।
12 its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it: under it the beast of the field takes shade, and in its boughs dwell the birds of the heavens, and of it are all flesh fed.
त्यसका पातहरू सुन्दर थिए, त्यसका फल प्रशस्त थिए, र त्यसमा सबैको निम्ति खानेकुरो थियो । जङ्गली पशुहरूले त्यसमुनि छाहरी पाउँथे, र आकाशका चराहरूले त्यसका हाँगाहरूमा वास गर्थे । सबै जीवित प्राणीहरूले त्यसैबाट खान्थे ।
13 I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down.
म आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहँदा मैले यस्तो दर्शन देखें, अनि आकाशबाट एउटा पवित्र समाचारवाहक तल आए ।
14 He is calling mightily, and thus has said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off its branches;
तिनले ठुलो सोरमा कराए र यसो भने, ‘त्यो रूख र त्यसका हाँगाहरू काट, त्यसका पातहरू टिपेर फाल र त्यसका फललाई छरपष्ट पार । त्यसको छहारीमुनिबाट पशुहरू भागून् र चराहरू त्यसका हाँगाहरूबाट उडून् ।
15 but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts [is] his portion in the herb of the earth;
तर त्यसको जरासहितको फेदलाई फलाम र काँसाले बाँधिएर मैदानका कलिला घाँसहरूका बिच जमिनमा नै रहोस् । आकाशका शीतले त्यो भिजोस् । त्यो जमिनका बोट-बिरुवाका बिचमा रहने पशुहरूसित रहोस् ।
16 his heart from man’s is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him;
त्यसको मनलाई मानिसको मनबाट बद्लियोस् र सातवर्ष नवितेसम्म त्यसलाई एउटा पशुको मन दिइयोस् ।
17 by the decree of the sifters [is] the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it, and the lowest of men He raises up over it.
यो निर्णय समाचारवाहकले बताएका उर्दिअनुसार हो । यो निर्णय पवित्र जनहरूले गर्नुभएको हो, ताकि बाँचेकाहरूले यो जानून्, कि सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरले मानिसहरूका राज्यमाथि शासन गर्नुहुन्छ र तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गर्नका निम्ति जोसुकैलाई अर्थात् सबैभन्दा निम्न स्तरका मानिसहरूका अधिनमा पनि उहाँले ती दिनुहुन्छ ।’
18 This dream I have seen, I King Nebuchadnezzar; and you, O Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and you [are] able, for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in you.”
म, राजा नबूकदनेसरले यो सपना देखें । अब तिमी बेलतसजर, मलाई यसको अर्थ बताऊ, किनभने मेरो राज्यका बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू कसैले पनि मेरो निम्ति यसको अर्थ खोल्न सक्दैनन् । तर तिमीले यो गर्न सक्छौ, किनभने पवित्र देवताहरूका आत्मा तिमीमा छन् ।”
19 Then Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, has been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts trouble him; the king has answered and said, “O Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation trouble you.” Belteshazzar has answered and said, “My lord, the dream—to those hating you, and its interpretation—to your enemies!
तब बेलतसजर भनिने दानिएल केही समय धेरै चिन्तित भए, र आफ्ना विचारहरूले तिनलाई त्रसित पार्यो । राजाले भने, “ए बेलतसजर, त्यो सपना वा त्यसको अर्थले तिमी त्रसित नहोऊ ।” बेलतसजरले जवाफ दिए, “मेरा मालिक, यो सपना हजुरलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूका निम्ति होस्, र त्यसको अर्थ हजुरका शत्रुहरूका निम्ति होस् ।
20 The tree that you have seen, that has become great and strong, and its height reaches to the heavens, and its vision to all the land,
हजुरले देख्नुभएको त्यो रूख, जुन बढेर धेरै बलियो भयो, र जसको टुप्पो आकाशसम्मै पुग्यो, र जुन पृथ्वीको छेऊबाट पनि देखिन्थ्यो,
21 and its leaves [are] beautiful, and its budding great, and food for all [is] in it, under it the beast of the field dwells, and on its boughs the birds of the heavens sit.
र जसका पातहरू सुन्दर थिए, र जसको फल प्रशस्त थियो, जसले गर्दा सबैले यसैमा खानेकुरो पाउँथे, र यसको मुनि जमिनका पशुहरूले छहारी पाउँथे, र जसमा आकाशका चराहरूले वास गर्थे,
22 It [is] you, O king, for you have become great and mighty, and your greatness has become great, and has reached to the heavens, and your dominion to the end of the earth;
हे महाराजा, त्यो रूख हजुर नै हुनुहुन्छ, जो ज्यादै शक्तिशाली हुनुभएको छ । हजुरको महान्ता बढेर आकाशसम्म पुगेको छ, र हजुरको अधिकार पृथ्वीको पल्लो छेऊसम्मै पुगेको छ ।
23 and that which the king has seen—a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he has said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field [is] his portion, until seven times pass over him.
हे महाराजा, हजुरले एउटा पवित्र सन्देशवाहकलाई स्वर्गबाट तल आएको अनि यसो भनेका देख्नुभयो, ‘त्यो रूखलाई काटेर ढाल र त्यसलाई नष्ट गर, तर त्यसको जरासहितको फेदलाई फलाम र काँसाले बाँधेर मैदानका कलिला घाँसहरूका बिच जमिनमा नै छोड । त्यो आकाशको शीतले भिजोस्, र सात वर्ष नवितेसम्म जमिनमै जङ्गली पशुहरूसँग रहोस् ।’
24 This [is] the interpretation, O king, and it [is] the decree of the Most High that has come against my lord the king:
हे महाराजा, यसको अर्थचाहिं यो हो । यो सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो, जुन मेरा मालिक, महाराजा हजुरकहाँ आएको छ ।
25 and they are driving you away from men, and your dwelling is with the beast of the field, and they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and they are wetting you by the dew of the heavens, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.
हजुर मानिसहरूका बिचबाट हटाइनुहुनेछ, र हजुर जमिनमा हुने जङ्गली पशुहरूसँग बस्नुहुनेछ । गोरुले झैं हजुरले घाँस खानुपर्नेछ, र आकाशको शीतले हजुरलाई भिजाउनेछ, र सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरले मानिसहरूका राज्यहरूमाथि शासन गर्नुहुन्छ अनि उहाँले चाहनुहुने जोसुकैलाई उहाँले त्यो दिनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा हजुरले स्वीकार गर्दासम्म सात वर्ष बित्नेछ ।
26 And that which they said—to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom abides for you, after that you know that the heavens are ruling.
रूखको जरासहितको फेदलाई त्यहीं छोड्ने आज्ञा भएझैं, स्वर्गले शासन गर्नुहुन्छ भनेर हजुरले स्वीकार गरेपछि हजुरको राज्य हजुरलाई फर्काइनेछ ।
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and your sins by righteousness break off, and your perversity by pitying the poor, behold, it is a lengthening of your ease.”
यसकारण, महाराजा, मेरो सल्लाह हजुरको निम्ति स्वीकारयोग्य होस् । पाप गर्न छोड्नुहोस् र जे ठिक छ त्यही गर्नुहोस् । थिचो-मिचोमा परेकाहरूलाई कृपा देखाएर आफ्ना अपराधहरूबाट मुक्त हुनुहोस्, र हजुरको समृद्धि अझै बढोस् ।”
28 All—has come on Nebuchadnezzar the king.
यी सबै कुराहरू राजा नबूकदनेसरमाथि घट्यो ।
29 At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he has been walking;
बाह्र महिनापछि, तिनी बेबिलोनमा एउटा दरबारको कौसीमा हिंडिरहेका थिए,
30 the king has answered and said, “Is this not that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of my honor?”
अनि तिनले भने, “के यो महान् बेबिलोन होइन, जुन मैले आफ्नो राजकीय निवास, र आफ्नो ऐश्वर्यको महिमाको निम्ति निर्माण गरें?”.
31 While the word is [in] the king’s mouth a voice from the heavens has fallen: “They are saying to you: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom has passed from you,
राजाका यी शब्दहरू तिनको ओठमै हुँदा नै, स्वर्गबाट यस्तो आवाज आयो, “राजा नबूकदनेसर, तँलाई यो घोषणा गरिन्छ, कि तँबाट यो राज्य खोसिएको छ ।
32 and from men they are driving you away, and your dwelling [is] with the beast of the field, they cause you to eat the herb as oxen, and pass over you seven times, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He wills He gives it.”
तँ मानिसहरूबाट निकालिनेछस्, र तेरो वासस्थान खेतमा वन-पशुहरूसँग हुनेछ । तैंले गोरुले झैं घाँस खानेछस् । सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरले मानिसहरूका राज्यहरूमाथि शासन गर्नुहुन्छ अनि उहाँले चाहनुहुने जोसुकैलाई उहाँले त्यो दिनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा तैंले स्वीकार गर्दासम्म सात वर्ष बित्नेछ ।”
33 In that hour the thing has been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and he eats the herb as oxen, and his body is wet by the dew of the heavens, until his hair has become great as eagles, and his nails as birds.
नबूकदनेसरको विरुद्धमा भएको यो आदेश तुरुन्तै पुरा भयो । तिनी मानिसहरूबाट निकालिए । तिनले गोरुले झैँ घाँस खाए, र तिनको शरीर आकाशको शीतले भिज्यो । तिनको केस चीलका प्वाँखहरूझैँ लामो भयो, र तिनको नङहरू चराका नङ्ग्राझैं भयो ।
34 “And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, have lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returns to me, and I have blessed the Most High, and the Perpetual Living One I have praised and honored, whose dominion [is] a continuous dominion, and His kingdom with generation and generation;
ती दिनहरूको अन्तमा, म, नबूकदनेसरले आफ्ना आँखा स्वर्गतर्फ उठाएँ, र मेरो होश मलाई फिर्ता दिइयो । “मैले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरें, र सदासर्वदा रहनुहुनेलाई मैले सम्मान र महिमा दिएँ । किनभने उहाँको शासन सदासर्वदा रहन्छ, र उहाँको राज्य सबै पुस्तादेखि सबै पुस्तासम्म रहिरहन्छ ।
35 and all who are dwelling on the earth are reckoned as nothing, and according to His will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that claps with his hand and says to Him, What have You done?
सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले अगि निम्न स्तरका गनिन्छन् । स्वर्गका सेनाहरू र पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूका बिचमा उहाँले आफूलाई ठिक लागेअनुसार गर्नुहुन्छ । कसैले पनि उहाँलाई रोक्न वा उहाँलाई चुनौती दिन सक्दैन । कसैले पनि उहाँलाई यसो भन्न सक्दैन, ‘तपाईंले किन यसो गर्नुभयो’?”
36 At that time my understanding returns to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and my brightness return to me, and to me my counselors and my great men seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness has been added to me.
मेरो होश मलाई फिर्ता दिइएकै समयमा, मेरो राज्यको महिमाको निम्ति मेरो गौरव र वैभव मकहाँ फर्यो । मेरा सल्लाहकारहरू र भारदारहरूले मेरो कृपाको इच्छा गरे । मलाई आफ्नो सिंहासन फर्काइयो, र मलाई झनै धेरै महान्ता दिइयो ।
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honoring the King of the heavens, for all His works [are] truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.”
अब म, नबूकदनेसर, स्वर्गका राजाको प्रशंसा, स्तुति, र महिमा गर्दछु, किनकि उहाँका सबै कामहरू ठिक हुन्छन् र उहाँका मार्गहरू धर्मी हुन्छन् । आफ्नै घमण्डमा हिंड्नेहरूलाई उहाँले नम्र बनाउन सक्नुहुन्छ ।
