< Daniel 6 >
1 It has been good before Darius, and he has established over the kingdom satraps—one hundred and twenty—that they may be throughout the whole kingdom,
दारालाई १२० जना प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरू नियुक्त गर्न मन लाग्यो, जसले सारा राज्यभरि शासन गर्नेछन् ।
2 and three presidents higher than they, of whom Daniel [is] first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss.
तिनीहरूमाथि तिन जना प्रमुख प्रशासकहरू थिए, र तिनीहरूमध्ये दानिएल एक जना थिए । ती प्रमुख प्रशासकहरूले प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरूको निगरानी गरून् जसले गर्दा राजालाई कुनै नोक्सान नहोस् भनेर तिनीहरूलाई नियुक्त गरिएको थियो ।
3 Then this Daniel has been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit [is] in him, and the king has thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.
अन्य प्रमुख प्रशासकहरू र प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरूभन्दा दानिएल विशिष्ट थिए, किनभने उनमा असाधारण आत्मा थियो । राजाले उनलाई सारा राज्यमा प्रमुख बनाउने योजना गर्दै थिए ।
4 Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he [is] faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him.
अनि अरू प्रमुख प्रशासकहरू र प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरूले त्यस राज्यको निम्ति दानिएलले गर्ने काममा त्रुटी खोज्न थाले, तर तिनीहरूले उनको काममा कुनै पनि भ्रष्टचार वा उनको जिम्मेवारीमा असफलता भेट्टाउन सकेनन्, किनभने उनी विश्वासयोग्य थिए । उनमा कुनै त्रुटी वा हेलचेक्र्याइँ भेट्टाइएन ।
5 Then these men are saying, “We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found [it] against him in the Law of his God.”
अनि यी मानिसहरूले भने, “आफ्नो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थासँगको दानिएलको सम्बन्धको कुरामा तिनको विरुद्ध केही खोट नदेखाएसम्म हामीले तिनको विरुद्ध अरू कुनै अभियोग लगाउन सक्दैनौं ।”
6 Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: “O King Darius, live for all ages!
अनि यी मुख प्रशासकहरू र प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरूले राजाको सामु एउटा योजना ल्याए । तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “महाराजा दारा, हजुर दिर्घायु हुनुहोस्!
7 Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counselors, and the governors, to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict, that any who seeks a petition from any god and man until thirty days, except of you, O king, is cast into a den of lions.
राज्यका सबै प्रमुख प्रशासकहरू र क्षेत्रीय गभर्नरहरू र प्रदेशीय गभर्नरहरू, सल्लाहकारहरू, र अन्य गभर्नरहरूले एकसाथ सल्लाह गरी यो निर्णय गरेका छौं, कि राजाले एउटा यस्तो उर्दि निकाली त्यसलाई लागु गर्नुहोस्, र भन्नुहोस्, तिस दिनसम्म हजुरबाहेक अरू कुनै देवता वा मानिसलाई कसैले प्रार्थना गर्यो भने, त्यो मानिस सिंहको खोरमा फालिनुपर्छ ।
8 Now, O king, you establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and Persia, that does not pass away.”
अनि राजाले एउटा उर्दि निकाले र कागजातमा दस्तखत गरे, ताकि मादी र फारसीहरूका नियमअनुसार त्यो परिवर्तन नहोस्, यसरी त्यसलाई हेरफेर गर्न सकिन्न ।”
9 Therefore King Darius has signed the writing and interdict.
यसरी राजा दाराले कागजातमा दस्तखत गरेर त्यस उर्दिलाई ऐन बनाए ।
10 And Daniel, when he has known that the writing is signed, has gone up to his house, and the window being opened for him, in his upper chamber, toward Jerusalem, three times in a day he is kneeling on his knees, and praying, and confessing before his God, because that he was doing [it] before this.
कागजातमा ऐन बनाउनलाई दस्तखत भएको छ भनी दानिएल थाहा पाएपछि, उनी आफ्नो घरमा गए (यरूशलेमतर्फ फर्केका उनको माथिल्लो कोठाका झ्यालहरू खुल्ला थिए), र जसरी उनले दिनको तिनपटक गर्ने गर्थे, त्यसरी नै उनले आफ्ना घुँडाहरू टेके, अनि उनले पहिले गरेझैं प्रार्थना गरे र आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिए ।
11 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and pleading grace before his God;
अनि यी एकसाथ मिलेर षड्यन्त्र गरेका मानिसहरूले दानिएलले परमेश्वरसँग बिन्ती गरेका र उहाँसँग मदत मागेका देखे ।
12 then they have come near, indeed, they are saying before the king concerning the king’s interdict: “Have you not signed an interdict, that any man who seeks from any god and man until thirty days, except of you, O king, is cast into a den of lions?” The king has answered and said, “The thing [is] certain as a law of Media and Persia, that does not pass away.”
तब तिनीहरू राजाको नजिक गए र तिनको उर्दिको विषयमा तिनीसँग कुरा गरे: “हे महाराजा, के आउँदो तिस दिनसम्म हजुर, महाराजाबाहेक अरू कुनै देवता वा मानिसलाई प्रार्थना गर्ने मानिस सिंहको खोरमा फालिनुपर्छ भनेर हजुरले उर्दि निक्लनुभएको थिएन र?” राजाले जवाफ दिए, “मादी र फारसीहरूको ऐनअनुसार यो निश्चित छ, र यो हेरफेर हुन सक्दैन ।”
13 Then they have answered, indeed, they are saying before the king, that, “Daniel, who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, has not placed on you, O king, [any] regard, nor on the interdict that you have signed, and three times in a day he is seeking his petition.”
तब तिनीहरूले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “यहूदाका निर्वासितहरूमध्ये एक जना ती दानिएलले हजुर, महाराजा, वा हजुरले दस्तखत गर्नुभएको उर्दिको वेवास्ता गर्छन् । तिनले आफ्नो परमेश्वरलाई दिनको तिन पटक प्रार्थना गर्छन् ।”
14 Then the king, when he has heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he has set the heart to deliver him, and until the going up of the sun he was arranging to deliver him.
जबा राजाले यो कुरा सुने, तिनी धेरै विचलित भए, र दानिएललाई यस कानूनबाट बचाउन तिनले दिमाग लगाए । तिनले सूर्यास्तसम्मै दानिएललाई बचाउने हरसम्भव प्रयास गरे ।
15 Then these men have assembled near the king, and are saying to the king, “Know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia [is] that any interdict and statute that the king establishes is not to be changed.”
त्यसपछि षड्यन्त्र रच्ने यी मानिसहरू एकसाथ राजाकहाँ भेला भए र तिनलाई भने, “हे महाराजा हजुरलाई यो थाहा होस्, कि यो मादी र फारसीहरूको ऐन हो, जसलाई राजाले जारी गर्ने अर्को कुनै उर्दि वा नियमले हेरफेर गर्न सक्दैन ।”
16 Then the king has spoken, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast [him] into a den of lions. The king has answered and said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you are serving continually, delivers you Himself.”
अनि राजाले आज्ञा दिए र तिनीहरूले दानिएललाई भित्र ल्याए र तिनीहरूले उनलाई सिंहको खोरमा फाले । राजाले दानिएललाई भने, “तिमीले निरन्तर सेवा गर्ने तिम्रो परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई बचाऊन् ।”
17 And a stone has been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king has sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose is not changed concerning Daniel.
खोरको ढोकामा एउटा ढुङ्गो ल्याएर राखियो, र दानिएलको विषयमा केही पनि परिवर्तन नहोस् भनेर राजाले त्यसमा आफ्नो अनि आफ्ना भारदारहरूका औंठीको मोहर लगाए ।
18 Then the king has gone to his palace, and he has passed the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before him, and his sleep has fled [from] off him.
त्यसपछि राजा आफ्नो महलमा गए र रातभरि उपवास बसे । तिनको अगि कुनै मनोरन्जनका कुरा ल्याइएन, र उनलाई कत्ति पनि निद्रा लागेन ।
19 Then the king rises in the early morning, at the light, and he has gone in haste to the den of lions;
अनि राजा बिहान सबेरै उठे र उनी झट्टै सिंहको खोरतर्फ गए ।
20 and at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a grieved voice, he cries. The king has answered and said to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God, whom you are serving continually, is He able to deliver you from the lions?”
जसै तिनी खोरको नजिक आए, तिनले निरास भएको सोरले दानिएललाई यसो भनेर बोलाए, “ए दानिएल, जीवित परमेश्वरका सेवक, के तिमीले निरन्तर सेवा गर्ने तिम्रा परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई सिंहहरूबाट बचाउन सक्षम हुनुभएको छ?”
21 Then Daniel has spoken with the king: “O king, live for all ages:
अनि दानिएलले राजालाई भने, “महाराजा, अमर रहून्!
22 my God has sent His messenger, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity has been found in me; and also before you, O king, injury I have not done.”
मेरा परमेश्वरले आफ्नो सन्देशवाहक पठाउनुभएको अनि सिंहहरूका मुखहरूलाई बन्द गर्नुभएको छ, र तिनीहरूले मलाई कुनै हानी गरेका छैनन् । किनभने उहाँ अनि हजुर, महाराजाका सामु म दोषरहित भेट्टाइएँ, र मैले हजुरलाई कुनै हानी गरेको छैनँ ।”
23 Then was the king very glad for him, and he has commanded Daniel to be taken up out of the den, and Daniel has been taken up out of the den, and no injury has been found in him, because he has believed in his God.
अनि राजा अत्यन्तै खुशी भए । तिनले दानिएललाई खोरबाट माथि निकाल्ने आदेश दिए । यसैले दानिएललाई खोरबाट माथि निकालियो । उनमा कुनै पनि चोट भेट्टाइएन, किनभने उनले आफ्ना परमेश्वरमाथि भरोसा गरेका थिए ।
24 And the king has spoken, and they have brought those men who had accused Daniel, and to the den of lions they have cast them, they, their sons, and their wives; and they have not come to the lower part of the den until the lions have power over them, and all their bones they have broken small.
राजाले आदेश दिए र दानिएललाई दोष लगाउने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूले ल्याए अनि तिनीहरू, तिनका छोराछोरी, र तिनका पत्नीहरूलाई सिंहहरूको खोरमा फालिदिए । तिनीहरू भुइँमा पुग्न नपाउँदै, सिंहहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि झम्टे, र तिनीहरूका हड्डीहरूलाई टुक्रा टुक्रा पारे ।
25 Then Darius the king has written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: “Your peace be great!
त्यसपछि राजा दाराले पृथ्वीमा बस्ने सबै मानिसहरू, जातिहरू, र भाषा बोल्नेहरूलाई यस्तो लेखे: “तिमीहरूमा प्रशस्त शान्ति होस् ।
26 From before me a decree is made, that in every dominion of my kingdom they are trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for He [is] the living God, and abiding for all ages, and His kingdom that which [is] not destroyed, and His dominion [is] to the end.
म अब यो एउटा उर्दि जारी गर्छु, कि मेरो अधिराज्यमा रहने सबै मानिसले दानिएलका परमेश्वरको भय मान्नू र आदर गर्नू, किनभने उहाँ नै जीवित परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँ सदासर्वदा रहनुहुन्छ, र उहाँको राज्य नष्ट हुनेछैन, र उहाँको प्रभुत्व अन्त्यसम्म रहनेछ ।
27 A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth [is] He who has delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.”
उहाँले हामीलाई सुरक्षित राख्नुहुन्छ र हामीलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ, अनि उहाँले स्वर्गमा र पृथ्वीमा चिन्हहरू र आश्चर्य कामहरू गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले दानिएललाई सिंहहरूको शक्तिबाट सुरक्षित राख्नुभएको छ ।”
28 And this Daniel has prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
यसरी दाराको शासनकालमा अनि फारसी कोरेसको शासनकालमा दानिएल समृद्धि भयो ।
