1 मादी दाराको पहिलो वर्षमा, म आफैं मिखाएलको मदत र सुरक्षा गर्न आएँ ।
"And as for me, in the first year of Daryavesh the Mede, I stood up to support and strengthen him.
2 अब म तिमीलाई सत्य कुरा बताउँछु । फारसमा तिन जना राजा खडा हुनेछन्, र अरूभन्दा चौथोचाहिं धेरै धनी हुनेछ । आफ्नो धनदौलतबाट त्यसले शक्ति हासिल गरेपछि, त्यसले सबैलाई ग्रीस राज्यको विरुद्ध उत्तेजित गर्नेछ ।
And now what I show you is true. Look, there shall arise three more kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all the kingdom of Greece.
3 एक जना शक्तिशाली राजा खडा हुनेछन्, जसले धेरै विशाल राज्यमा शासन गर्नेछन्, र आफ्नै इच्छाअनुसार तिनले काम गर्नेछन् ।
And a powerful king shall arise, who shall rule an extensive empire, and do as he pleases.
4 तिनी खडा भएपछि, तिनको राज्य टुक्राटुक्रा हुनेछ र स्वर्गका चार बतासतिर त्यो विभाजित हुनेछ, तर तिनका आफ्नै वंशमा होइन, अनि तिनले राज्य गरिरहँदाको शक्तिले तिनको शक्तिले होइन । किनकि तिनको राज्य तिनको वंशको निम्ति नभएर अरूका निम्ति उखेलिनेछ ।
When he shall arise, his kingdom shall be broken up, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, and will go to others besides these.
5 दक्षिणको राजा धेरै शक्तिशाली हुनेछन्, तर तिनका कमान्‍डरमध्ये एकजना तिनीभन्दा शक्तिशाली हुनेछ र आफ्‍नो राज्यलाई ठुलो शक्तिले शासन गर्नेछ ।
The king of the south shall grow strong, and one of his officers shall grow more powerful, and shall have a greater kingdom than his.
6 केही वर्षपछि, ठिक समयमा, तिनीहरूले मित्रता कायम गर्नेछन् । सम्झौता पक्‍का गर्नलाई दक्षिणको राजाकी छोरी उत्तरको राजाकहाँ जान्छिन् । तर तिनको आफ्‍नो हातको बल कायम राख्‍न सक्‍नेछैनन्, न त उनले वा उनको हातले नै सक्‍नेछन् । तिनी र तिनलाई ल्‍याउनेहरू र तिनका पिता र ती समयमा तिनको समर्थन गर्ने सबै त्यागिनेछन् ।
At the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain her power; neither shall his strength endure; but she shall be surrendered, and her attendants, and he who became the father of her, and he who supported her in those times.
7 तर तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका जराहरूबाट एउटा हाँगो पलाउनेछ । उनले उत्तरको राजाको सेनालाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र किल्लाभित्र प्रवेश गर्नेछन् । उनले तिनीहरूसित लडाइँ गर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूमाथि विजय पाउनेछन् ।
But out of a shoot from her roots shall arise in his place, who shall come against the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
8 उनले तिनीहरूका देवताहरू र तिनीहरूका ढलौटे फलामका मूर्तिहरू र सुन र चाँदीका बहुमुल्य भाँडाहरू मिश्रदेशमा लानेछन् । केही वर्षसम्‍म उनी उत्तरका राजाबाट टाढा रहनेछन् ।
Also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall withdraw for some years from the king of the north.
9 अनि उत्तरका राजाले दक्षिणको राजाको राज्यमाथि आक्रमण गर्नेछन्, तर तिनि आफ्नै देशमा फर्कनेछन् ।
And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
10 तिनका छोराहरू तयार हुनेछन् र ठुलो सेनालाई भेला गर्नेछन् । त्यो निरन्‍तर अघि बढ्‍नेछ र बाढीले झैं हरेक कुरा बगाउनेछ । सबैलाई जित्‍दै त्‍यो उसको किल्लासम्मै पुग्‍नेछ ।
And his sons shall wage war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall advance and overflow and pass through, and they shall return and wage war, as far as his fortress.
11 तब दक्षिणको राजा धेरै क्रुद्ध हुनेछन् । तिनी जानेछन् र उत्तरको राजाको विरुद्धमा लडाइ गर्नेछन् । उत्तरको राजाले एउटा ठुलो सेना खडा गर्नेछन्, तर त्यो सेनालाई दक्षिणको राजाको हातमा दिइनेछ ।
The king of the south shall be moved with rage and shall come forth and fight against him, even with the king of the north; and he shall raise a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 त्यो सेना लगिनेछ, र दक्षिणको राजाको हृदय घमण्डले फुल्नेछ, र तिनले दसौं हजारलाई मार्नेछन्, तर तिनी विजयी हुनेछैनन् ।
The multitude shall be taken away, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
13 अनि उत्तरको राजाले पहिलेको धेरै भन्दा शक्तिशाली अर्को सेना खडा गर्नेछन् । केही वर्षपछि, उत्तरका राजा निश्‍चय नै शक्तिशाली सेनाका साथमा धेरै हतियारका साथमा आउनेछन् ।
The king of the north shall return, and shall raise a multitude greater than the former; and he shall advance after some years with a great army and with abundant supplies.
14 ती समयमा धेरै जना दक्षिणको राजाको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछन् । दर्शन पुरा गर्नलाई तिम्रा मानिसहरूका बिचमा भएका हिंसात्‍मक छोराहरूले आफैंलाई तयार पार्नेछन्, तर तिनीहरू ठेस खानेछन् ।
And in those times many shall rise up against the king of the south: also the violent ones among your people shall rise up in confirmation of the vision; but they shall fail.
15 उत्तरका राजा आउनेछन्, र घेरा मचान बनाउनलाई माटो थुपार्नेछन् र पर्खालले घेरिएको सहरलाई कब्जा गर्नेछन् । दक्षिणको शक्ति टिक्‍न सक्‍नेछैन, तिनीहरूका सर्वोत्कृष्‍ट सेना पनि टिक्‍न सक्दैन । खडा हुने शक्ति हुनेछैन ।
So the king of the north shall come, and build up a siege mound and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not prevail, neither his best troops, neither shall there be any strength to resist.
16 बरु, आउनेले चाहिं आफ्नो इच्छा अनुसार उनको विरुद्ध व्यवहार गर्नेर्छन् । तिनको मार्गमा कोही खडा हुनेछैन । सुन्दरताको देशमा तिनी खडा हुनेछन्, र विनाश तिनको हातमा हुनेछ ।
But he who comes against him shall do as he pleases, and no one shall be able to withstand him. And he shall stand in the beautiful land, and destruction will be within his power.
17 उत्तरको राजा आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण राज्यको शक्तिमा आउने निर्णय गर्नेछन्, र तिनीसित सम्झौताको एउटा दस्‍तावेज हुनेछ जुन तिनले दक्षिणको राजासँग गर्नेछन् । दक्षिणको राज्यलाई खत्तम गर्न तिनले एउटी स्‍त्रीको छोरीलाई उनीसित विवाहमा गरिदिनेछन् । तर त्यो योजनाले तिनलाई सफल वा मदत हुनेछैन ।
He shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with him which he shall put into effect. And he shall give him a daughter of women to send destruction on him; but it will not last or be to his advantage.
18 यसपछि, उत्तरको राजाले समुद्रतटका देसहरूमा ध्यान लगाउनेछ र तीमध्ये धेरैलाई अधीन गर्नेछन् । तर एक जना कमान्‍डरले तिनको घमण्डको अन्त्य गर्नेछन् र तिनको घमण्डलाई तिनैकहाँ फर्काउनेछन् ।
After this shall he turn his face to the coastal regions, and shall capture many. But a commander shall bring his insolence to an end. In addition, he shall repay him for his insolence.
19 तब तिनले आफ्नै देशका किल्लाहरूतर्फ ध्यान दिनेछन्, तर तिनी ठेस खानेछन् र त्यो ढल्‍नेछन् । तिनी फेरि भेट्टाइनेछैनन् ।
Then he shall turn his attention toward the fortresses of his own land, but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found again.
20 तब तिनको ठाउँमा अरू कोही एक जना खडा हुनेछन् जसले राज्यको वैभवको निम्ति एक जना कर उठाउनेलाई घुसपैट गर्न लगाउनेछन् । तर केही दिनमा कुनै रिस वा युद्धविना नै तिनी टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछन् ।
Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an exactor of tribute to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory; but within few days he shall be destroyed, though not in anger nor in battle.
21 तिनको ठाउँमा एक जना तुच्छ मानिस खडा हुनेछ जसलाई मानिसहरूले राजकीय शक्तिको सम्मान दिनेछैनन् । ऊ अचानक आउनेछ र छल गरेर उसले राज्यलाई कब्जा गर्नेछ ।
In his place shall arise a despicable person, to whom the honor of kingship had not been given, but he shall come in a time of prosperity, and shall obtain the kingdom through deceit.
22 उसको सामु एउटा सेनालाई बाढीले झैं बगाउनेछ । करार सेना र अगुवा दुवै नष्‍ट हुनेछन् ।
And large armies shall be swept away and shattered before him, as well as the prince of the covenant.
23 ऊसित मित्रता गरेको समयदेखि नै उसले छलपूर्ण ढङ्गले काम गर्नेछ । थोरै मानिसको साथमा पनि ऊ शक्तिशाली हुनेछ ।
And after an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall become strong with a small force.
24 कुनै चेतावनीविना नै ऊ प्रदेशको सबैभन्दा सम्‍वृद्ध ठाउँमा आउनेछ, र उसको बुबा वा हजुरबुबाले नगरेका काम त्यसले गर्नेछ । उसले लुटका सामान र धन-सम्पत्ति आफ्ना अनुयायीहरूसँग बाँड्नेछ । उसले किल्लाहरूलाई हटाउने योजना गर्नेछ, तर केही समयको लागि मात्र हुनेछ ।
In a time of prosperity he shall come even on the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor their fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, and spoil, and property. He shall devise plans against their strongholds, but only for a time.
25 ऊ आफ्नो शक्ति र हृदयसहित ठुलो सेनाको साथमा दक्षिणको राजाको विरुद्धमा उठ्नेछ । दक्षिणको राजाले ठुलो, र धेरै शक्तिशाली सेनासँग युद्ध गर्नेछ, तर तिनको विरुद्धमा अरूले षड्यन्त्र गरेको कारणले गर्दा तिनी टिक्‍नेछैनन् ।
And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall wage war in battle with an extremely large and powerful army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise plans against him.
26 तिनको मिठा भोजन खानेहरूले समेत तिनलाई नाश गर्न खोज्नेछन् । बाढीले झैं तिनका सेना बगाइनेछ, र तीमध्‍ये धेरै जना मारिनेछन् ।
Yes, those who eat of his royal food shall seek to destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall slain.
27 यी दुवै राजाहरू, आफ्नो हृदयमा एक-अर्काको विरुद्धमा दुष्‍टता लिएर, एउटै टेबिलमा बस्‍नेछन् र एक-अर्कालाई ढाँट्‍नेछन्, तर त्यो केही कामको हुनेछैन । किनभने तोकिएकै समयमा अन्त्य आउनेछ ।
As for both these kings, their minds shall be fixed on evil, and they shall speak lies at the table; but it shall not succeed; for still the end shall be at the appointed time.
28 अनि उत्तरका राजा धेरै धनदौलत लिएर, आफ्नो हृदयलाई पवित्र करारको विरुद्धमा उठाएर आफ्नै देशमा फर्कनेछ । उसले त्यस्तै काम गर्नेछ र आफ्नै देशमा फर्कनेछ ।
Then shall he return into his land with great property; and his mind shall be against the holy covenant. And he shall take action, and then return to his own land.
29 तोकिएको समयमा ऊ फर्कनेछ र दक्षिणको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ । तर यस पटक पहिलाको झैं हुनेछैन ।
At the appointed time he shall return, and come into the south; but this time the outcome shall not be as it was before.
30 किनभने कित्तिमका जहाजहरू उसको विरुद्धमा आउनेछन्, र ऊ डराउनेछ र पछि हट्नेछ । त्यो पवित्र करारको विरुद्ध ऊ रिसले चूर हुनेछ, र पवित्र करारलाई त्याग्‍नेहरूलाई उसले समर्थन गर्नेछ ।
For ships from Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be intimidated, and shall turn back, and be enraged against the holy covenant, and shall take action. He shall turn back, and show regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 उसको सैन्य-बल उठ्नेछ र पवित्र-स्‍थानका किल्लाहरूलाई अशुद्ध पार्नेछ । तिनीहरूले दैनिक होमबलि हटाउनेछन्, र तिनीहरूले घृणित थोक स्थापना गर्नेछन् जसले विनाश ल्याउनेछ ।
Forces shall come at his order, and they shall profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and shall take away the daily burnt offering, and they shall set up the abomination that causes desolation.
32 अनि करारको विरुद्धमा दुष्‍टतापूर्ण काम गर्नेहरूलाई उसले तिनलाई धोका दिनेछ र तिनलाई भ्रष्‍ट पार्नेछ । तर आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरलाई चिन्‍ने मानिसहरू बलियै हुनेछन् र सोअनुसार काम गर्नेछन् ।
And those who act wickedly toward the covenant he shall corrupt by smooth words; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and take action.
33 मानिसहरूमध्ये बुद्धिमान्‌ले धेरै जनालाई बुझाउनेछ । तर तरवार र आगोले तिनीहरू ढल्‍नेछन् । तिनीहरू कैदमा जानेछन् र धेरै दिनसम्म लुटिनेछन् ।
And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
34 तिनीहरू ढलेका अवस्‍थामा, तिनीहरूलाई थोरै सहायता मिल्नेछ । कपट गरेर धेरै जनाले तिनीहरूसँग मिलाप गर्नेछन् ।
Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join with them insincerely.
35 बुद्धिमान्‌मध्‍ये कोही-कोहीले ठेस खानेछन्, जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू अन्तको समयसम्म खारिनेछन्, शुद्ध पारिनेछन्, र दागरहित हुनेछन् । किनभने तोकिएको समय आउन अझै बाँकी हुन्‍छ ।
Some of those who are wise shall fall, to be refined, purified and cleansed until the time of the end; for the appointed time is still to come.
36 राजाले आफ्नो इच्छाहरूअनुसार काम गर्नेछ । उसले आफैंलाई उठाउनेछ र सारा देवहरूमाथि आफूलाई महान् बनाउनेछ । देवहरूका परमेश्‍वरको विरुद्धमा उसले आश्‍चर्यलाग्दा कुराहरू भन्‍नेछ, किनभने क्रोधको समय पूरा नभएसम्म ऊ सफल हुनेछ । किनभने जे आदेश दिइएको छ, त्यो पूरा भएरै छोड्‍नेछ ।
And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.
37 आफ्ना पुर्खाका देवहरू वा स्‍त्रीहरूले रुचाएका देवप्रति पनि उसले ध्यान दिनेछैन । न त उसले अन्य देवहरूप्रति ध्यान दिनेछ । किनभने सबैभन्दा माथि उसले आफैंलाई महान् बनाउनेछ ।
Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.
38 यीभन्दा किल्लाहरूका देवलाई उसले सम्मान गर्नेछ । उसले पुर्खाहरूले नमान्‍ने देवलाई उसले सुन र चाँदी, र बहुमुल्य पत्थरहरू, अनि महत्त्वपूर्ण उपहारहरूले सम्मान गर्नेछ ।
But instead he shall honor the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold and silver, and with valuable stones, and costly gifts.
39 सबैभन्दा बलिया किल्लाहरूलाई उसले पराई देवको सहायताले आक्रमण गर्नेछ । उसका कुरा मान्‍ने हरेकलाई उसले धेरै सम्मान दिनेछ । उसले तिनीहरूलाई धेरै मानिसहरूका शासकहरू बनाउनेछ, र त्यो देशलाई उसले इनामको रूपमा विभाजन गर्नेछ ।
And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he shall grant considerable honor; and he shall make them rulers over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
40 अन्त्यको समयमा, दक्षिणका राजाले आक्रमण गर्नेछन् । उत्तरको राजाले दक्षिणको राजाको विरुद्ध रथहरू र घोडचडीहरू, र धेरै जहाजहरूको साथमा आँधीझैं युद्ध गर्नेछ । ऊ धेरै देशहरूका विरुद्ध जानेछ, र तिनीहरूलाई बाढीले झैं बगाउनेछ र अगि बढ्नेछ ।
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south attack him. And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall invade countries, and pass through like a flood.
41 ऊ सुन्दारताको देशमा जानेछ, र दशौं हजार इस्राएलीहरू मर्नेछन् । तर त्यसका हातबाटः एदोम, मोआब, र अम्मोनका मानिसमद्‍ये बाँकी रहेकाहरू उम्‍कनेछन् ।
He shall enter also into the beautiful land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.
42 उसले देशहरूमाथि आफ्नो अधिकार फैलाउनेछ । अनि मिश्रदेश बचाइनेछैन ।
He shall reach out his hand also on other countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 सुन र चाँदीका, र मिश्रदेशका सारा धन-सम्पत्तिमा उसले नियन्त्रण गर्नेछ । लिबियाली र कूशीहरू उसका पाउँमुनि हुनेछन् ।
But he shall have control over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the riches of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his feet.
44 तर पूर्व र उत्तरबाट आउने समाचारले उसलाई भयभीत बनाउनेछ, र पूर्ण रूपमा नाश गर्न र धेरैलाई विनाशको निम्ति अलग गर्न ऊ क्रोधित भएर जानेछ ।
But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with tremendous rage to destroy and utterly sweep away many.
45 उसले समुद्रहरू र पवित्रताको सुन्दरताको पर्वतको बिचमा आफ्‍नो राजकीय वासस्थानको पाल खडा गर्नेछ । उसको अन्त्य हुनेछ, र उसको निम्ति त्यहाँ सहायता गर्ने कोही पनि हुनेछैन ।
And he shall pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with no one to help him.
