दानिएल 10
1 फारसका राजा कोरेसको तेस्रो वर्षमा दानिएललाई एउटा सन्देश प्रकट गरियो जसलाई बेलतसजर पनि भनिन्थ्यो। यो सन्देश साँचो थियो । यो एउटा ठुलो युद्धको विषयमा थियो । आफूले दर्शनबाट अन्तर्दृष्टि पाएपछि दानिएलले यो सन्देश बुझे ।
During the third year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, I Daniel, [who had been given the] name Belteshazzar, received [another] message [from God]. The message was true, but it was very difficult for me to understand it. But [later] I understood the message because of the vision that I had seen.
2 ती दिनहरूमा म दानिएल, तिन हप्तासम्म शोक गरिरहें ।
At that time I had been sad for three weeks [about what had happened to Jerusalem].
3 तिन हप्ता पुरै नबितेसम्म नै मैले कुनै मिठो खाना खाइनँ, न मासु खाएँ, न दाखमद्य पिएँ, न त मैले आफैंलाई तेलले अभिषेक गरें ।
I did not eat any tasty food or any meat or drink any wine. I did not even put any perfumed oil on my [face or hair] for those three weeks.
4 पहिलो महिनाको चौबीसौं दिनमा, जब म त्यो विशाल नदी (अर्थात् टाइग्रिस) को छेउमा थिएँ,
[When those three weeks ended, ] on April 23, [my companions and] I were standing on the bank of the great Tigris River.
5 मैले माथि हेरें र सूतीको लुगा लगाएका एक जना मानिसलाई देखें, जसको कम्मरमा उफाजको शुद्ध सुनले बनेको पेटी बाँधिएको थियो ।
I looked up and saw someone there who was wearing fine white/linen clothes and a belt [made of] pure gold.
6 तिनको शरीर पीतमणिजस्तो र तिनको अनुहार बिजुलीजस्तो थियो । तिनका आँखा बलिरहेका राँकोजस्ता थिए, र तिनका हात र खुट्टाहरू टल्काइएका काँसाजस्तै थिए । तिनको वचन आवाज एउटा ठुलो भीडको जस्तो थियो ।
His body [shone] like a precious beryl stone. His face was as [bright as] a flash of lightning. His eyes [were/shone] like flaming torches. His arms and legs [shone] like polished bronze. And his voice was [very loud], like the roar of a huge crowd.
7 म, दानिएल एक्लै त्यो दर्शन देखें, किनकि मसँगै भएका मानिसहरूले त्यो दर्शन देखेनन् । तपनि, तिनीहरूमा एउटा ठुलो त्रास पर्यो, र तिनीहरू आफू लुक्नलाई भागे ।
I, Daniel, was the only one who saw this vision. The men who were with me did not see anything, but [they sensed that someone was there, and they] became terrified. They ran away and hid themselves.
8 यसैले म एक्लै छोडिएँ र यो महान् दर्शन देखें । ममा बल बाँकी रहेन । मेरो उज्यालो अनुहार नै अँधयारो भयो, र ममा कुनै शक्ति नै रहेन ।
So I was left there by myself, looking at this very unusual vision. I had no strength left. My face became very pale, with the result that no one would have recognized me.
9 तब मैले तिनका शब्दहरू सुनें— र मैले ती सनिरहँदा, म जमिनमा घोप्टो परेर गहिरो निद्रामा निदाएँ ।
I saw a man there, and when I heard him speak, I fell to the ground. I (fainted/became unconscious), [and I lay there] with my face on the ground.
10 मलाई एउटा हातले छोयो, र त्यसले मेरा घुँडाहरू र हत्केलाहरूलाई थरथर काँम्ने बनायो ।
Suddenly someone’s hand took hold of me and lifted me, with the result that I was on my hands and knees, [but I was still] trembling.
11 ती स्वर्गदूतले मलाई भने, “ए दानिएल, धेरै सम्मान पाएको मानिस, मैले तिमीलाई भनिरहेका वचनलाई बुझ । सिधा खडा होऊ, किनकि मलाई तिमीकहाँ पठाइएको छ ।” तिनले मलाई यो सन्देश बोलेको समयमा, थरथर काम्दै म उठें ।
The man said to me, “Daniel, [God] loves you very much. Stand up and listen to what I am going to say to you, because [God] sent me to you.” When he said that, I stood up, [but I was still] trembling.
12 अनि तिनले मलाई यसो भने, “ए दानिएल, नडराऊ । बुझ्न र आफ्नो परमेश्वरको सामु आफैंलाई नम्र बनाउन तिमीले प्रयास गरेका पहिलो दिनदेखि नै तिम्रा शब्दहरूको सुनुवाइ भएको छ, र तिम्रा शब्दहरूकै कारणले म आएको छु ।
Then he said to me, “Daniel, do not be afraid. God has heard what you have prayed ever since the first day that you determined to humble yourself in order to understand [the vision]. I have come to you because of what you prayed.
13 तर फारस राज्यका राजकुमारले मेरो विरोध गर्यो, र मलाई एक्काइस दिनसम्म फारसका राजाहरूसँग राखियो । तर प्रधान राजकुमारहरूमध्ये एक, मिखाएल मलाई सहायता गर्न आए ।
The [evil spirit who] rules the kingdom of Persia resisted/hindered me for 21 days, but Michael, who is one of God’s chief angels, came to help me. I left him there in Persia [to resist] that evil spirit who rules there.
14 तिम्रा मानिसहरूलाई अन्तका दिनमा के हुनेछ भनेर बुझ्न तिमीलाई मदत गर्न म आएको हुँ । किनकि यो दर्शनचाहिं अझै आउन बाँकी दिनको निम्ति हो ।”
I have come here to enable you to understand what will happen to the Israeli people in the future. [Do not forget that] the vision [that you saw] is about [things that will happen in] the distant future, [not about things that will happen very soon].”
15 जब तिनले यी शब्दहरूको प्रयोग गरी मसँग बोल्दै थिए, मैले मेरो मुहारलाई जमिनतर्फ झुकाएँ र म बोल्न सकिनँ ।
While he was saying that, I stared at the ground and was unable to say anything [because I was very afraid].
16 मानिसका पुत्रजस्तै देखिने एक जनाले मेरो ओठहरूमा छोए, र मैले आफ्नो मुख खोलें र मेरो सामु हुनेसँग बात गरें, “हे मेरा मालिक, दर्शनको कारणले गर्दा म वेदनामा परेको छु । मसँग बल छैन ।
Suddenly [the angel], who resembled a human, touched my lips. Then [I was able to speak, and] I said to him, “Sir, because [I have seen] this vision, I have become very weak, with the result that I cannot stop trembling.
17 म तपाईंको सेवक हुँ । कसरी म आफ्नो मालिकसँग बोल्न सक्छु? किनकि म जान्दछु कि मसँग बल छैन, र ममा सास पनि बाँकी छैन ।”
I am not able [RHQ] to talk to you, my master. I have no strength left, and it is very difficult for me to breathe.”
18 मानिसजस्ता देखिनेले मलाई फेरि छोए र मलाई शक्ति दिए ।
But he took hold of me again, and enabled me to become stronger again.
19 तिनले भने, “ए धेरै सम्मान पाएको मानिस, नडराऊ । तिमीलाई शान्ति होस्! अब शाहसी होऊ, बलियो होऊ!” तिनी मसँग बोल्दै गर्दा, ममा बल आयो । मैले भनें, “ए मेरा मालिक बोल्नुहोस्, किनकि तपाईंले मलाई शक्ति दिनुभएको छ ।”
He said to me, “You human, God loves you very much. [So] do not be afraid. I desire/want things to go well for you and that you will be encouraged.” When he had said that, I felt even stronger, and I said, “Sir, tell me [what you want to tell me]. You have enabled me to feel stronger.”
20 तिनले भने, “म तिमीकहाँ किन आएँ के तिमीलाई थाहा छ? म छिट्टै फारसका राजकुमारसँग यद्ध गर्नलाई फर्कनेछु । म गएपछि, ग्रीसका राजकुमार आउनेछन् ।
Then he said, “(Do you know why I came to you?/I will tell you why I came to you.) [RHQ] It is to reveal to you what is written in the book which reveals/contains God’s truth. But now I must return to fight against [the evil spirit] who rules the kingdom of Persia. After I have defeated him, [the evil angel] who guards Greece will appear [and I must defeat him]. Michael, who guards you [Israeli people], will help me, but there is no one else to help me.”
21 तर सत्यको पुस्तकमा के लेखिएको छ, म तिमीलाई बताउनेछु । तिम्रा राजकुमार मिखाएल बाहेक अरू कसैले पनि तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध मलाई शाहसी बनाउन सक्दैनन् ।”
