दानिएल 1
1 यहूदाका राजा यहोयाकीमका शासनकालको तेस्रो वर्षमा, बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसर यरूशलेममा आए र यसका सबै आपूर्तिहरू बन्द गर्न सहरलाई घेरा हाले ।
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and laid siege against it;
2 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 ।
and the Lord gave into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, and a part of the vessels of the house of God, and he brought them into the land of Shinar, into the house of his gods, —and, the vessels, brought he into the treasure-house of his gods.
3 राजाले आफ्ना प्रमुख अधिकारी अशपेनजलाई इस्राएलका राजकीय परिवार र कुलिनहरूबाट केही मानिसहरू ल्याउने हुकुम गरे—
Then did the king give word to Ashpenaz, the chief of his eunuchs, —that he should bring in, of the sons of Israel, even of the seed royal, and of the nobles,
4 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 ।
youths in whom was no blemish, but comely of countenance, and skilful in all wisdom, and possessed of knowledge, and able to impart instruction, and who had vigour in them, to stand in the palace of the king, —and that they should be taught the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
5 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 ।
And the king appointed them the provision of each day upon its day, out of the delicacies of the king and out of the wine which he drank, and so to let them grow three years, —and, at the end thereof, that they should stand before the king.
6 यहूदाका ती मानिसमध्ये कोही दानिएल, हनन्याह, मीशाएल र अजर्याह थिए ।
Now there were, among them, out of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah;
7 प्रमुख अधिकारीले तिनीहरूलाई यी नाउँहरू दिए: दानिएललाई तिनले बेलतसजर भने, हनन्याहलाई तिनले शद्रक भने, मीशाएललाई तिनले मेशक भने र अजर्याहलाई तिनले अबेद्नगो भने ।
and the ruler of the eunuchs gave them names, —yea he gave to Daniel the name of Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah of Shadrach, and to Mishael of Meshach, and to Azariah of Abed-nego.
8 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 ।
But Daniel laid it upon his heart, that he would not defile himself with the delicacies of the king, nor with the wine which he drank, —therefore sought he of the ruler of the eunuchs, that he might not defile himself.
9 अब प्रमुख अधिकारीले दानिएललाई गरेको आदरद्वारा परमेश्वरले तिनलाई कृपा र सहानुभूति देखाउनुभयो ।
But, although God had brought Daniel into lovingkindness and tender compassion, before the ruler of the eunuchs,
10 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?”
yet said the ruler of the eunuchs unto Daniel, I do fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink, —for why should he see your faces more sad than those of the youths of your own age? so should ye bring me under the penalty of mine own head unto the king.
11 तब दानिएल, हनन्याह, मीशाएल र अजर्याहमाथि प्रमुख अधिकारीले खटाएका भण्डारेसँग दानिएलले कुरा गरे ।
Then said Daniel, unto the overseer whom the ruler of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
12 तिनले भने, “कृपया, हामी तपाईंका सेवकहरूलाई दस दिनसम्म जाँच्नुहोस् । हामीलाई खानलाई सागपात र पिउनलाई पानी मात्र दिनुहोस् ।
I pray thee—prove thy servants, ten days, —and let them give us vegetable food, that we may eat, and water that we may drink:
13 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 ।”
then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the youths who have been eating the delicacies of the king, —and, as thou shalt see, deal thou with thy servants.
14 यसैले भण्डारे तिनका कुरामा सहमत भए, र तिनले दस दिनसम्म तिनीहरूको जाँच गरे ।
So then he hearkened unto them, according to this word, —and proved them ten days;
15 दस दिनको अन्त्यमा, राजाका मीठा भोजन खाने सबै जवान मानिसहरूभन्दा तिनीहरूका अनुहार बढी स्वस्थ देखिए, र तिनीहरूले बढी पोषण पाएका देखा परे ।
and, at the end of ten days, their countenances appeared more comely, and fatter in flesh, —than any of the youths who had been eating the delicacies of the king.
16 यसैले ती भण्डारेले तिनीहरूका सबै राजकीय मीठा भोजन र दाखमद्य हटाइदिए, अनि तिनीहरूलाई सागपात मात्र दिए ।
Thus it came about that the overseer continued taking away their delicacies, and the wine appointed them to drink, —and kept on giving them vegetable food.
17 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 ।
And, as for these four youths, God, gave them, knowledge and skill, in all learning and wisdom, —and, Daniel, had discernment, in all visions and dreams.
18 तिनीहरूलाई हाजिर गराउनलाई राजाले दिएका समयको अन्तमा, प्रमुख अधिकारीले तिनीहरूलाई भित्र नबूकदनेसरको सामु लगे ।
Now, at the end of the days after which the king had given word to bring them in, then did the ruler of the eunuchs bring them in, before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 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 ।
So then the king, spake with them, and there was not found, from among them all, one like unto Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, —therefore stood they before the king;
20 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 ।
and, in any matter of wisdom and discernment as to which the king, enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the sacred scribes—the magicians, who were in all his realm.
21 राजा कोरेसको शासनकालको पहिलो वर्षसम्म दानिएल त्यहाँ थिए ।
Now Daniel continued, until the first year of Cyrus the king.
