1 मादी दाराको पहिलो वर्षमा, म आफैं मिखाएलको मदत र सुरक्षा गर्न आएँ ।
“As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm 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 ।
“Now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings will stand up in Persia. The fourth will be far richer than all of them. When he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece.
3 एक जना शक्तिशाली राजा खडा हुनेछन्, जसले धेरै विशाल राज्यमा शासन गर्नेछन्, र आफ्नै इच्छाअनुसार तिनले काम गर्नेछन् ।
A mighty king will stand up, who will rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
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 stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will be divided towards the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom will be plucked up, even for 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 will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion.
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 will join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement, but she will not retain the strength of her arm. He will also not stand, nor will his arm; but she will be given up, with those who brought her, and he who became the father of her, and he who strengthened 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 one will stand up in his place, who will come to the army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and will deal against them and will 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 ।
He will also carry their gods with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, captive into Egypt. He will refrain some years from the king of the north.
9 अनि उत्तरका राजाले दक्षिणको राजाको राज्यमाथि आक्रमण गर्नेछन्, तर तिनि आफ्नै देशमा फर्कनेछन् ।
He will come into the realm of the king of the south, but he will 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 ।
His sons will wage war, and will assemble a multitude of great forces which will come on, and overflow, and pass through. They will return and wage war, even to 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 will be moved with anger and will come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north. He will send out a great multitude, and the multitude will 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 will be carried off, and his heart will be exalted. He will cast down tens of thousands, but he won’t 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 will return, and will send out a multitude greater than the former. He will come on at the end of the times, even of 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 ।
“In those times many will stand up against the king of the south. Also the children of the violent amongst your people will lift themselves up to establish the vision, but they will fall.
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 will come and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city. The forces of the south won’t stand, neither will his select troops, neither will there be any strength to stand.
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 will do according to his own will, and no one will stand before him. He will stand in the glorious land, and destruction will be in his hand.
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 will set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions. He will perform them. He will give him the daughter of women, to destroy the kingdom, but she will not stand, and won’t be for him.
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 he will turn his face to the islands, and will take many, but a prince will cause the reproach offered by him to cease. Yes, moreover, he will cause his reproach to turn on him.
19 तब तिनले आफ्नै देशका किल्लाहरूतर्फ ध्यान दिनेछन्, तर तिनी ठेस खानेछन् र त्यो ढल्‍नेछन् । तिनी फेरि भेट्टाइनेछैनन् ।
Then he will turn his face towards the fortresses of his own land; but he will stumble and fall, and won’t be found.
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 one who will cause a tax collector to pass through the kingdom to maintain its glory will stand up in his place; but within few days he shall be destroyed, not in anger, and not 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 a contemptible person will stand up, to whom they had not given the honour of the kingdom; but he will come in time of security, and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 उसको सामु एउटा सेनालाई बाढीले झैं बगाउनेछ । करार सेना र अगुवा दुवै नष्‍ट हुनेछन् ।
The overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him, and will be broken. Yes, also the prince of the covenant.
23 ऊसित मित्रता गरेको समयदेखि नै उसले छलपूर्ण ढङ्गले काम गर्नेछ । थोरै मानिसको साथमा पनि ऊ शक्तिशाली हुनेछ ।
After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.
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 time of security he will come even on the fattest places of the province. He will do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He will scatter amongst them prey, plunder, and wealth. Yes, he will devise his plans against the 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 ।
“He will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south will wage war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he won’t stand; for they will 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 delicacies will destroy him, and his army will be swept away. Many will fall down 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 hearts will be to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still 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 he will return into his land with great wealth. His heart will be against the holy covenant. He will take action, and return to his own land.
29 तोकिएको समयमा ऊ फर्कनेछ र दक्षिणको विरुद्धमा खडा हुनेछ । तर यस पटक पहिलाको झैं हुनेछैन ।
“He will return at the appointed time and come into the south; but it won’t be in the latter time as it was in the former.
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 of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved, and will return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and will take action. He will even return, and have 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 from him will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.
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 ।
He will corrupt those who do wickedly against the covenant by flatteries; but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.
33 मानिसहरूमध्ये बुद्धिमान्‌ले धेरै जनालाई बुझाउनेछ । तर तरवार र आगोले तिनीहरू ढल्‍नेछन् । तिनीहरू कैदमा जानेछन् र धेरै दिनसम्म लुटिनेछन् ।
“Those who are wise amongst the people will instruct many; yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder, many days.
34 तिनीहरू ढलेका अवस्‍थामा, तिनीहरूलाई थोरै सहायता मिल्नेछ । कपट गरेर धेरै जनाले तिनीहरूसँग मिलाप गर्नेछन् ।
Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.
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 will fall—to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time appointed.
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 ।
“The king will do according to his will. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and will speak marvellous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined will 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 ।
He won’t regard the gods of his fathers, or the desire of women, or regard any god; for he will 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 in their place, he will honour the god of fortresses. He will honour a god whom his fathers didn’t know with gold, silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
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 ।
He will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. He will increase with glory whoever acknowledges him. He will cause them to rule over many, and will 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 ।
“At the time of the end the king of the south will contend with him; and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, with horsemen, and with many ships. He will enter into the countries, and will overflow and pass through.
41 ऊ सुन्दारताको देशमा जानेछ, र दशौं हजार इस्राएलीहरू मर्नेछन् । तर त्यसका हातबाटः एदोम, मोआब, र अम्मोनका मानिसमद्‍ये बाँकी रहेकाहरू उम्‍कनेछन् ।
He will enter also into the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown; but these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 उसले देशहरूमाथि आफ्नो अधिकार फैलाउनेछ । अनि मिश्रदेश बचाइनेछैन ।
He will also stretch out his hand on the countries. The land of Egypt won’t escape.
43 सुन र चाँदीका, र मिश्रदेशका सारा धन-सम्पत्तिमा उसले नियन्त्रण गर्नेछ । लिबियाली र कूशीहरू उसका पाउँमुनि हुनेछन् ।
But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and the Ethiopians will follow his steps.
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 will trouble him; and he will go out with great fury to destroy and utterly to 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 ।
He will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
