Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
बेबिलोनका राजा बेलसजरको पहिलो वर्षमा, दानिएल आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहँदा तिनले एउटा सपना र दर्शन देखे । अनि तिनले सपनामा देखेका कुरालाई लेखे । तिनले सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण घटनाहरूलाई लेखेः
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven brake forth upon the great sea.
दानिएलले वर्णन गरे, “रातमा मैले देखेको दर्शनमा स्वर्गका चार बतासले महान् समुद्रलाई घोलिरहेको मैले देखें ।
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
प्रत्येक नै एक-अर्काबाट भिन्न चार विशाल पशु समुद्रबाट बाहिर आए ।
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
पहिलोचाहिं सिंहजस्तो देखिन्थ्यो तर त्यसका चीलका पखेटाहरू थिए । मैले हेर्दै गर्दा, त्यसका पखेटाहरू च्यातिए र जमिनबाट त्यसलाई माथि उठाइयो र मानिसझैं दुई खुट्टामा त्यसलाई खडा गरियो । त्यसलाई मानिसको मन दिइएको थियो ।
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in his mouth between his teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
अनि त्यहाँ अर्को एउटा भालुजस्तो पशु थियो, र त्यो झुकिरहेको थियो । आफ्ना दाँतहरूका बिचमा त्यसले तिनवटा करङ थिए । त्यसलाई यसो भनियो, ‘उठ् र धेरै जना मानिसलाई खा ।’
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
यसपछि मैले फेरि हेरें । त्यहाँ अर्को एउटा पशु थियो, जुन चितुवाजस्तो देखिन्थ्यो । त्यसको पछाडिपट्टि चराका जस्तै चारवटा पखेटा थिए, र त्यसका चारवटा टाउका थिए । राज्य गर्ने अधिकार त्यसलाई दिइएको थियो ।
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
त्यसपछि रातको दर्शनमा डरलाग्दो, भयङ्कर, र धेरै बलियो थियो एउटा चौथो पशु मैले देखें । त्यसका फलाममा ठुला-ठुला दाँत थिए । त्यसले चपायो, टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्थ्यो, र बाँकीलाई खुट्टामुनि कुल्चियो । अरू पशुभन्दा त्यो फरक थियो, र त्यसका दशवटा सिङ थिए ।
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
जसै मैले ती सिङहरूका बारेमा विचार गर्दै थिएँ, मैले हेरें र ती सिङका बिचमा अर्को एउटा सानो सिङ बढ्दै गरेको देखें । पहिलो तिनवटा सिङ उखेलिएर झरे । यो सिङका आँखा मानिसका आँखाजास्ता भएको मैले देखें र त्यसको एउटा मुखले ठुला कुराहरूको सेखी गर्दै थियो ।
9 I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, [and] the wheels thereof burning fire.
जसै मैले हेरें, सिंहासनहरू तयार पारिएका थिए, र दिनहरूभन्दा प्राचीनले चाहिं आफ्नो आशन ग्रहण गर्नुभयो । उहाँका वस्त्र हिउँझैं सेता थिए, र उहाँको शिरको कपाल शुद्ध ऊनजस्तो थियो । उहाँको सिंहासनमा आगोको ज्वाला थियो, र त्यसका चक्काहरू बलिरहने आगो थियो ।
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
उहाँको सामुबाट आगोको नदी बग्यो । लाखौं-लाखले उहाँको सेवा गरे, र दस करोडचाहिं उहाँको सामु खडा थिए । अदालतले न्यायको काम सुरु गर्यो, र पुस्तकहरू खोलिए ।
11 I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and he was given to be burned with fire.
त्यो सिङले बोलेका अहङ्कारपुर्ण वचनहरूका कारणले मैले निरन्तर हेरें । त्यो पशु मारिएको र त्यसको शरीर नष्ट पारिएको, र त्यसलाई जलाउनलाई दिइएको मैले देखें ।
12 And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
चारवटा पशुमध्येका अरू बाँकीका बारेमा, राज्य गर्ने अधिकार खोसियो, तर केही समयको निम्ति तिनीहरूका उमेर बढाइयो ।
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
त्यस रातको मेरा दर्शनहरूमा, आकाशका बादलहरूका साथमा मानिसका पुत्रजस्तै एक जना आउँदै गर्नुभएको मैले देखें । दिनहरूभन्दा प्राचीनकाहाँ उहाँ आउनुभयो र उहाँको सामु उपस्थित गराउनुभयो ।
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
राज्य गर्नलाई अधिकार र महिमा र राजकीय शक्ति उहाँलाई दिइयो, यसैले कि सबै मानिसहरू, जातिहरू, र भाषा बोल्नेहरूले उहाँको सेवा गरून् । राज्य गर्ने उहाँको अधिकारचाहिं सदासर्वदाको अधिकार हो जुन बितेर जानेछैन, अनि उहाँको राज्य त्यस्तो हो जुन कहिल्यै पनि नाश हुनेछैन ।
15 As for me Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
म दानिएलको बारेमा, मभित्र मेरो आत्मा दु: खित भयो, र मेरो मनमा मैले देखेका दर्शनहरूले मलाई विचलित बनाए ।
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
त्यहाँ खडा भएकामध्ये एक जनाको नजिक म गएँ र यी कुराहरूको अर्थ मलाई देखाउनलाई मैले तिनलाई बिन्ती गरें ।
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
‘यी विशाल पशुका चारवटा सङ्ख्याले चार जना राजालाई जनाउँछन् जो पृथ्वीमा खडा हुनेहुन् ।
18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
तर सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरूले त्यो राज्य प्राप्त गर्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले सदासर्वदाको निम्ति त्यसको अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।’
19 Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
अनि त्यो चौथो पशुको बारेमा अझै धेरै जान्ने मलाई इच्छा भयो— त्यो अरूभन्दा धेरै फरक थियो र आफ्ना फलामका दाँत र काँसाका नङ्ग्राका कारणले त्यो धेरै डरलाग्दो थियो । त्यसले चपायो, टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्थ्यो, र बाँकीमाथि खुट्टाले कुल्चियो ।
20 and concerning the ten horns that were on his head, and the other [horn] which came up, and before which three fell; even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
त्यसको शिरका दशवटा सिङ र नयाँ पलाएको अर्को सिङ जसको सामु तिनवटा सिङ उखेलिएर झरेको बारेमा जान्ने इच्छा मलाई भयो। आँखा भएका सिङ र ठुला कुराहरूको सेखी गर्ने मुखको बारेमा जान्ने इच्छा मलाई भयो, अनि त्यो आफ्ना मित्रहरूभन्दा महान् देखिन्थ्यो ।
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
जसै मैले हेरें, त्यो सिङले पवित्र मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध युद्ध सुरु गर्यो र तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गर्दै थियो,
22 until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
जबसम्म दिनहरूभन्दा प्राचीन आउनुभएन, र सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरूलाई न्याय दिनुभएन । तब समय आयो जब पवित्र मानिसहरूले राज्य प्राप्त गरे ।
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
ती मानिसले यसो भने, ‘चौथो पशुको बारेमा, त्यो पृथ्वीमा चौथो राज्य हुनेछ जुनचाहिं अरू सबै राज्यभन्दा फरक हुनेछ । त्यसले सारा पृथ्वीलाई नाश गर्नेछ र त्यसलाई कुल्चनेछ र त्यसलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछ ।
24 And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
दसवटा सिङका बारेमाचाहिं, यो राज्यबाट दस जना राजा खडा हुनेछन्, तिनीहरूभन्दा पछि अर्को खडा हुनेछ । पहिलेकाभन्दा ऊ फरक हुनेछ, र उसले तिन जना राजालाई पराजित गर्नेछ ।
25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High: and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
उसले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका विरुद्ध बोल्नेछ र सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरूमाथि अत्याचार गर्नेछ । उसले चाडहरू र व्यवस्थालाई परिवर्तन गर्न कोसिस गर्नेछ । यी कुराहरूलाई उसको हातमा एक वर्ष, दुई वर्ष, र आधा वर्षको लागि दिइनेछ ।
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
तर अदालतले न्यायको काम सुरु गर्नेछ, र अन्त्यमा भष्म पारिन र नाश गरिनलाई तिनीहरूले उसका राजकीय शक्तिलाई खोस्नेछन् ।
27 And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
राज्य र प्रभुत्व, र सम्पूर्ण स्वर्गमुनिका राज्यहरूको महान्ता ती मानिसहरूलाई दिइनेछ जो सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरू हुन् । उहाँको राज्य सदासर्वदाको राज्य हो, र अरू सबै राज्यहरूले उहाँको सेवा गर्नेछन् र उहाँको आज्ञा मान्नेछन् ।’
28 Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
कुराको अन्त यही हो । म, दानिएलको बारेमा, मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई धेरै भयभीत बनाए र मेरो अनुहारको स्वरूप परिवर्तन भयो । तर यी कुराहरू मैले आफूमा नै सिमित राखें ।”
