दानिएल 5
1 बेलसजर राजाले आफ्ना एक हजार भारदारहरूका निम्ति एउटा ठुलो भोजको आयोजना गरे, र ती सबै एक हजार मानिसहरूका सामु तिनले दाखमद्य पिए ।
Belshazzar, the king, made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and each one of them drank according to his age.
2 जब बेलसजरले दाखमद्ये चाखे, तिनले आफ्ना बुबा नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमको मन्दिरबाट निकालेर ल्याएका सुन वा चाँदीका भाँडाहरू ल्याउन आज्ञा दिए, जसबाट तिनी, तिनका भारदारहरू, तिनकी पत्नीहरू र उप-पत्नीहरूले पिउन सकून् ।
And so, when they were drunk, he instructed that the vessels of gold and silver should be brought, which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had carried away from the temple, which was in Jerusalem, so that the king, and his nobles, and his wives, and the concubines, might drink from them.
3 यरूशलेममा भएको परमेश्वरको मन्दिरबाट ल्याइएका सुनका भाँडाहरूलाई सेवकहरूले ल्याए । राजा, तिनका भारदारहरू, र तिनकी पत्नीहरू र उप-पत्नीहरूले ती भाँडाहरूबाट पिए ।
Then the gold and silver vessels were presented, which he had carried away from the temple and which had been in Jerusalem, and the king, and his nobles, wives, and concubines, drank from them.
4 तिनीहरूले दाखमद्य पिएपछि सुन र चाँदी, काँसा, फलाम, काठ, र ढुङ्गाले बनेका आफ्ना मूर्तिहरूको प्रशंसा गरे ।
They drank wine, and they praised their gods of gold, and silver, brass, iron, and wood and stone.
5 त्यही समय पानसको अगाडि एउटा मानिसको हातका औंलाहरू देखा परे र राजाको दरवारका लिपिएका भित्तामा लेख्न थाले । त्यो हातले लेख्दै गर्दा, राजाले त्यसको केही भाग देख्न सक्थे ।
In the same hour, there appeared fingers, as of the hand of a man, writing on the surface of the wall, opposite the candlestick, in the king’s palace. And the king observed the part of the hand that wrote.
6 तब राजाको अनुहार बद्लियो र तिनका आफ्ना विचारहरूले तिनलाई भयभीत बनाए । तिनका गोडाहरूले तिनलाई धान्न सकेनन्, र तिनका घुँडाहरू कामेर ठोक्किन थाले ।
Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts disturbed him, and he lost his self-control, and his knees knocked against one other.
7 मृतहरूसँग बोल्न सक्छौं भनेर दावी गर्नेहरू, बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू, र ज्योतिषीहरूलाई भित्र ल्याउनको निम्ति राजाले आदेश दिए । बेबिलोनमा आफ्ना बुद्धिको निम्ति ख्याति पाएकाहरूलाई राजाले यसो भने, “जसले यो लेख र यसको अर्थ बताउन सक्छ उसलाई बैजनी लुगा पहिराइनेछ र उसको घाँटीमा सुनको सिक्री लगाइनेछ । त्यसलाई यस राज्यको तेस्रो उच्च शासकको अधिकार दिइनेछ ।”
And the king cried out loudly for them to bring in the astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. And the king proclaimed to the wise men of Babylon, saying, “Whoever will read this writing and make known to me its interpretation will be clothed with purple, and will have a golden chain on his neck, and will be third in my kingdom.”
8 अनि आफ्नो बुद्धिको निम्ति ख्याति पाएका राजाका सबै मानिसहरू आए, तर तिनीहरूले त्यो लेख पढ्न अनि राजालाई त्यसको अर्थ बताउन सकेनन् ।
Then, in came all the wise men of the king, but they could neither read the writing, nor reveal the interpretation to the king.
9 अनि राजा बेलसजर धेरै डराए र तिनको अनुहारको स्वरूप परिवर्तन भयो । तिनका भारदारहरू अलमल्ल भए ।
Therefore, king Belshazzar was quite confused, and his face was altered, and even his nobles were disturbed.
10 राजा र तिनका भारदारहरूले भनेका कुरा सुनेर रानी भोजको घरमा आईन् । रानीले भनिन्, “राजा, अमर रहून्! हजुरका विचारहरूले हजुरलाई विचलित नपारोस् । हजुरको अनुहारको स्वरूपमा परिवर्तन नहोस् ।
But the queen, because of what had happened to the king and his nobles, entered the banquet house. And she spoke out, saying, “O king, live forever. Do not let your thoughts confuse you, neither should your face be altered.
11 हजुरको राज्यमा एक जना मानिस छन् जसमा पवित्र देवताहरूको आत्मा छ । हजुरका बुबाका समयमा, उनमा देवताहरूका जस्तै प्रकाश र समझ र बुद्धि पाइएको थियो । महाराजा नबूकदनेसर, हजुरका बुबा, महाराजाले उनलाई जादूगरहरू, मृतसँग बोल्नेहरू, बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू, र ज्योतिषीहरूका प्रमुख बनाउनुभयो ।
There is a man in your kingdom, who has the spirit of the holy gods within himself, and in the days of your father, knowledge and wisdom were found in him. For king Nebuchadnezzar, your father, appointed him leader of the astrologers, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, even your father, I say to you, O king.
12 यी मानिस, दानिएलमा उत्कृष्ट आत्मा, ज्ञान, समझ, सपनाको अर्थ खोल्न सक्ने, अड्को फुकाउन सक्ने र समस्याहरू हल गर्न सक्ने विशेषताहरू थिए, जसलाई राजाले बेलतसजर नाउँ दिनुभयो । अब दानिएललाई बोलाउनुहोस् र लेखिएको कुराको अर्थ तिनले हजुरलाई बताउनेछन् ।”
For a greater spirit, and foresight, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and the revealing of secrets, and the solution to difficulties were found in him, that is, in Daniel, to whom the king gave the name Belteshazzar. Now, therefore, let Daniel be summoned, and he will explain the interpretation.”
13 तब दानिएललाई राजाको सामु ल्याइयो । राजाले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी यहूदाका निर्वासितमध्ये एक जना मानिस, त्यही दानिएल हौ, जसलाई मेरा बुबाले यहूदाबाट ल्याउनुभयो ।
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke to him, saying, “Are you Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom my father the king led out of Judea?
14 देवताहरूका आत्मा र प्रकाश तथा समझ र उत्कृष्ट बुद्धि तिमीमा छन् भनेर मैले तिम्रो विषयमा सुनेको छु ।
I have heard of you, that you have the spirit of the gods, and that greater knowledge, as well as understanding and wisdom, have been found in you.
15 बुद्धिको निम्ति ख्याति पाएका मानिसहरू र मृतहरूसँग बोल्न सक्छौं भनेर दावी गर्नेहरूलाई यो लेख पढ्न र त्यसको अर्थ खोल्नलाई भित्र मेरो सामु ल्याइएको छ, तर तिनीहरूले त्यसको अर्थ जानकारी गराउन सकेनन् ।
And now the wise astrologers have entered into my presence, so as to read this writing and to reveal to me its interpretation. And they were not able to tell me the meaning of this writing.
16 तिमीले अर्थहरू खोल्न सक्छौ र समस्याहरू हल गर्न सक्छौ भनी मैले सुनेको छु । अब तिमीले यो लेख पढ्न सक्यौ र मलाई यसको अर्थ बतायौ भने, तिमीलाई बैजनी कपडा पहिराइनेछ र तिम्रो घाँटीमा सुनको सिक्री लगाइनेछ, र यस राज्यमा तिमीलाई तेस्रो उच्च शासकको अधिकार हुनेछ ।”
Furthermore, I have heard about you that you can interpret obscure things and solve difficulties. So then, if you succeed in reading the writing, and in revealing its interpretation, you will be clothed with purple, and you will have a chain of gold around your neck, and you will be the third leader in my kingdom.”
17 तब दनिएलले राजाको सामु जवाफ दिए, “हजुरका उपहारहरू हजुरकै निम्ति होऊन्, र हजुरका इनामहरू अर्को व्यक्तिलाई दिनुहोस् । तापनि, म यो लेख, महाराजा, हजुरको निम्ति पढिदिनेछु, र हजुरलाई यसको अर्थ बताउनेछु ।
To this Daniel responded by saying directly to the king, “Your rewards should be for yourself, and the gifts of your house you may give to another, but I will read to you the writing, O king, and I will reveal to you its interpretation.
18 हे महाराजाका, सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरले हजुरका पिता नबूकदनेसरलाई राज्य, महान्ता, आदर, र ऐश्वर्य दिनुभयो ।
O king, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, a kingdom and greatness, glory and honor.
19 परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई दिनुभएको महान्ताको कारणले, सबै मानिसहरू, जातिहरू र भाषा बोल्नेहरू थरथर भए र उहाँको भय माने । उहाँले जसको प्राण लिने इच्छा गर्नुभयो, त्यसको प्राण उहाँले लिनुभयो, र उहाँले जसलाई जीवित राख्ने इच्छा गर्नुभयो, त्यसलाई उहाँले जीवित राख्नुभयो । जसलाई उहाँले चाहनुभयो त्यसलाई उचाल्नुभयो, र जसलाई उहाँले इच्छा गर्नुभयो त्यसलाई उहाँले होच्याउनुभयो ।
And because of the greatness that he gave to him, all peoples, tribes, and languages trembled and were afraid of him. Whomever he wished, he put to death; and whomever he wished, he destroyed; and whomever he wished, he exalted; and whomever he wished, he lowered.
20 तर जब उहाँको हृदयमा अहंकारी र उहाँको आत्मा कठोर भयो, जसको कारण उहाँले हठपूर्ण किसिमले काम गर्नुभयो, तब उहाँको आफ्नो राजकीय सिंहासनबाट उहाँलाई तल खसालियो, र तिनीहरूले उहाँको सबै ऐश्वर्य हटाए ।
But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened in arrogance, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom and his glory was taken away.
21 उहाँ मानिसजातिबाट लखेटिनुभयो । उहाँमा पशुको मन थियो, र उहाँ जङ्गली गधाहरूसँग रहनुभयो । उहाँले गोरुले झैं घाँस खानुभयो । सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरले मानिसहरूका राज्यमाथि शासन गर्नुहुन्छ र उहाँले आफ्नो इच्छाअनुसार मानिसहरूमाथि शासक नियुक्त गर्नुहुन्छ भनेर उहाँले स्वीकार नगरेसम्म आकाशका शीतहरूले उहाँको शरीर भिज्यो ।
And he was expelled from the sons of men, and so his heart was placed with the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys, and he ate hay like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he realized that the Most High holds power over the kingdom of men, and that whoever he wishes, he will set over it.
22 हजुर, बेलसजर, उहाँका छोराले यी सबै थाहा भएर पनि आफ्नो हृदयलाई नम्र बनाउनुभएको छैन ।
Likewise, you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all these things.
23 हजुरले आफैंलाई स्वर्गका परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध खडा गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँको भवनबाट तिनीहरूले ती भाँडाहरू ल्याए, जसबाट हजुर, हजुरका भारदारहरू, हजुरका पत्नीहरू, र उप-पत्नीहरूले दाखमद्य पिउनुभयो र हजुरले चादी र सुन, काँसा, फलाम, काठ र ढुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरूलाई पुज्नुभयो, ती मूर्तिहरू जसले देख्दैनन्, सुन्दैनन्, र केही पनि जान्दैनन् । हजुरको सास आफ्नो हातमा लिनुहुने र हजुरका सबै मार्ग जान्नुहुने परमेश्वरलाई हजुरले आदर गर्नुभएको छैन ।
But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been presented before you. And you, and your nobles, and your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. Likewise, you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, and brass, iron, and wood and stone, who neither see, nor hear, nor feel, yet you have not glorified the God who holds your breath and all your ways in his hand.
24 अनि परमेश्वरले आफ्नो उपस्थितिबाट एउटा हात पठाउनुभयो र यो लेख लेखियो ।
Therefore, he has sent the part of the hand which has written this, which has been inscribed.
25 त्यो लेखिएको कुरा यस्तो छः ‘मेने, मेने, टेकेल, पर्सिन ।’
But this is the writing that has been decreed: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
26 यसको अर्थ यो होः ‘मेने,’ ‘परमेश्वरले हजुरको राज्यको गन्ती गर्नुभएको छ र त्यसको अन्त्य गर्नुभएको छ ।’
And this is the interpretation of the words. MANE: God has numbered your kingdom and has finished it.
27 ‘टेकेल,’ ‘तराजुमा हजुरको नाप लिइयो र हजुरमा कमी भेट्टाइयो ।’
THECEL: you have been weighed on the scales and found lacking.
28 ‘पेरेस,’ ‘हजुरको राज्य विभाजित भएको छ र त्यो मादी र फारसीहरूलाई दिइएको छ ।’”
PHARES: your kingdom has been divided and has been given to the Medes and the Persians.
29 अनि बेलसजरले आज्ञा दिए, र दानिएललाई बैजनी कपडा पहिराइयो । उनको घाँटीमा सुनको सिक्री लगाइयो, र त्यस राज्यमा उनमा तेस्रो उच्च शासकको अधिकार हुनेछ भनेर राजाले घोषणा गरे ।
Then, by the king’s command, Daniel was dressed with purple, and a chain of gold was placed around his neck, and it was proclaimed of him that he held power as the third in the kingdom.
30 त्यही रात बेबिलोनका राजा बेलसजर मारिए,
That same night, king Belshazzar the Chaldean was killed.
31 अनि मादी दाराले करीब बैसठ्ठी वर्षको उमेरमा त्यो राज्य प्राप्त गरे ।
And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two years.
