< 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 to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
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 ।
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him, that the king and his lords, his wives and his 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 they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of God’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his 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 praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of 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, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw 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 face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.
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 ।”
The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Kasdim, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
8 अनि आफ्नो बुद्धिको निम्ति ख्याति पाएका राजाका सबै मानिसहरू आए, तर तिनीहरूले त्यो लेख पढ्न अनि राजालाई त्यसको अर्थ बताउन सकेनन् ।
Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, and couldn’t make known to the king the interpretation.
9 अनि राजा बेलसजर धेरै डराए र तिनको अनुहारको स्वरूप परिवर्तन भयो । तिनका भारदारहरू अलमल्ल भए ।
Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
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 ।
The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house. The queen spoke and said, “O king, live forever; don’t let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed.
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 in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king, Nebuchadnezzar, your father—yes, the king, your father—made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Kasdim, and soothsayers,
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 ।”
because an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show 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. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14 देवताहरूका आत्मा र प्रकाश तथा समझ र उत्कृष्ट बुद्धि तिमीमा छन् भनेर मैले तिम्रो विषयमा सुनेको छु ।
I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are 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 ।
Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.
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 ।”
But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the 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 ।
Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 हे महाराजाका, सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरले हजुरका पिता नबूकदनेसरलाई राज्य, महान्ता, आदर, र ऐश्वर्य दिनुभयो ।
“To you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty.
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 ।
Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.
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 so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.
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 ।
He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
22 हजुर, बेलसजर, उहाँका छोराले यी सबै थाहा भएर पनि आफ्नो हृदयलाई नम्र बनाउनुभएको छैन ।
“You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
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 have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
24 अनि परमेश्वरले आफ्नो उपस्थितिबाट एउटा हात पठाउनुभयो र यो लेख लेखियो ।
Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 त्यो लेखिएको कुरा यस्तो छः ‘मेने, मेने, टेकेल, पर्सिन ।’
“This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’
26 यसको अर्थ यो होः ‘मेने,’ ‘परमेश्वरले हजुरको राज्यको गन्ती गर्नुभएको छ र त्यसको अन्त्य गर्नुभएको छ ।’
“This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27 ‘टेकेल,’ ‘तराजुमा हजुरको नाप लिइयो र हजुरमा कमी भेट्टाइयो ।’
TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28 ‘पेरेस,’ ‘हजुरको राज्य विभाजित भएको छ र त्यो मादी र फारसीहरूलाई दिइएको छ ।’”
PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and 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 Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 त्यही रात बेबिलोनका राजा बेलसजर मारिए,
In that night Belshazzar the Kasdian King was slain.
31 अनि मादी दाराले करीब बैसठ्ठी वर्षको उमेरमा त्यो राज्य प्राप्त गरे ।
Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
