दानिएल 6
1 दारालाई १२० जना प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरू नियुक्त गर्न मन लाग्यो, जसले सारा राज्यभरि शासन गर्नेछन् ।
Darius deemed it proper, and he set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty lieutenants, who should be over all the kingdom;
2 तिनीहरूमाथि तिन जना प्रमुख प्रशासकहरू थिए, र तिनीहरूमध्ये दानिएल एक जना थिए । ती प्रमुख प्रशासकहरूले प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरूको निगरानी गरून् जसले गर्दा राजालाई कुनै नोक्सान नहोस् भनेर तिनीहरूलाई नियुक्त गरिएको थियो ।
And over these, three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these lieutenants should give accounts unto them, so that the king might suffer no damage.
3 अन्य प्रमुख प्रशासकहरू र प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरूभन्दा दानिएल विशिष्ट थिए, किनभने उनमा असाधारण आत्मा थियो । राजाले उनलाई सारा राज्यमा प्रमुख बनाउने योजना गर्दै थिए ।
Then did this Daniel excel [all] the presidents and lieutenants, because a superior spirit was in him: and the king thought to appoint him over the whole kingdom.
4 अनि अरू प्रमुख प्रशासकहरू र प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरूले त्यस राज्यको निम्ति दानिएलले गर्ने काममा त्रुटी खोज्न थाले, तर तिनीहरूले उनको काममा कुनै पनि भ्रष्टचार वा उनको जिम्मेवारीमा असफलता भेट्टाउन सकेनन्, किनभने उनी विश्वासयोग्य थिए । उनमा कुनै त्रुटी वा हेलचेक्र्याइँ भेट्टाइएन ।
Then sought the presidents and lieutenants to find a pretext against Daniel on account of the management of the kingdom; but they were not able to find any pretext or fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, and no kind of error or fault was to be found on him.
5 अनि यी मानिसहरूले भने, “आफ्नो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थासँगको दानिएलको सम्बन्धको कुरामा तिनको विरुद्ध केही खोट नदेखाएसम्म हामीले तिनको विरुद्ध अरू कुनै अभियोग लगाउन सक्दैनौं ।”
Then said these men, We shall not find any pretext against this Daniel, except we find it against him in the law of his God.
6 अनि यी मुख प्रशासकहरू र प्रान्तिय गभर्नरहरूले राजाको सामु एउटा योजना ल्याए । तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “महाराजा दारा, हजुर दिर्घायु हुनुहोस्!
Then came these presidents and lieutenants tumultuously to the king, and thus said they unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 राज्यका सबै प्रमुख प्रशासकहरू र क्षेत्रीय गभर्नरहरू र प्रदेशीय गभर्नरहरू, सल्लाहकारहरू, र अन्य गभर्नरहरूले एकसाथ सल्लाह गरी यो निर्णय गरेका छौं, कि राजाले एउटा यस्तो उर्दि निकाली त्यसलाई लागु गर्नुहोस्, र भन्नुहोस्, तिस दिनसम्म हजुरबाहेक अरू कुनै देवता वा मानिसलाई कसैले प्रार्थना गर्यो भने, त्यो मानिस सिंहको खोरमा फालिनुपर्छ ।
All the presidents of the kingdom, the superintendents, and the lieutenants, the counsellors, and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm prohibition, that whosoever will ask any thing by prayer of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 अनि राजाले एउटा उर्दि निकाले र कागजातमा दस्तखत गरे, ताकि मादी र फारसीहरूका नियमअनुसार त्यो परिवर्तन नहोस्, यसरी त्यसलाई हेरफेर गर्न सकिन्न ।”
Now, O king, establish the prohibition, and sign the writing, that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which is not to be repealed.
9 यसरी राजा दाराले कागजातमा दस्तखत गरेर त्यस उर्दिलाई ऐन बनाए ।
In view of this king Darius signed the writing and the prohibition.
10 कागजातमा ऐन बनाउनलाई दस्तखत भएको छ भनी दानिएल थाहा पाएपछि, उनी आफ्नो घरमा गए (यरूशलेमतर्फ फर्केका उनको माथिल्लो कोठाका झ्यालहरू खुल्ला थिए), र जसरी उनले दिनको तिनपटक गर्ने गर्थे, त्यसरी नै उनले आफ्ना घुँडाहरू टेके, अनि उनले पहिले गरेझैं प्रार्थना गरे र आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिए ।
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went up unto his house, where he had open windows in his upper chamber in the direction of Jerusalem; and three times every day he kneeled upon his knees, and prayed, and offered thanks before his God, as he had been doing before that time.
11 अनि यी एकसाथ मिलेर षड्यन्त्र गरेका मानिसहरूले दानिएलले परमेश्वरसँग बिन्ती गरेका र उहाँसँग मदत मागेका देखे ।
Then came in these men tumultuously, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 तब तिनीहरू राजाको नजिक गए र तिनको उर्दिको विषयमा तिनीसँग कुरा गरे: “हे महाराजा, के आउँदो तिस दिनसम्म हजुर, महाराजाबाहेक अरू कुनै देवता वा मानिसलाई प्रार्थना गर्ने मानिस सिंहको खोरमा फालिनुपर्छ भनेर हजुरले उर्दि निक्लनुभएको थिएन र?” राजाले जवाफ दिए, “मादी र फारसीहरूको ऐनअनुसार यो निश्चित छ, र यो हेरफेर हुन सक्दैन ।”
Then came they near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's prohibition, Hast thou not signed a prohibition, that every man that will pray [for aught] of any God or man, within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is certainly so, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot he repealed.
13 तब तिनीहरूले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “यहूदाका निर्वासितहरूमध्ये एक जना ती दानिएलले हजुर, महाराजा, वा हजुरले दस्तखत गर्नुभएको उर्दिको वेवास्ता गर्छन् । तिनले आफ्नो परमेश्वरलाई दिनको तिन पटक प्रार्थना गर्छन् ।”
Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the exiles of Judah, hath paid no regard to thee, O king, nor to the prohibition which thou hast signed; but three times every day he offereth up his prayer.
14 जबा राजाले यो कुरा सुने, तिनी धेरै विचलित भए, र दानिएललाई यस कानूनबाट बचाउन तिनले दिमाग लगाए । तिनले सूर्यास्तसम्मै दानिएललाई बचाउने हरसम्भव प्रयास गरे ।
Then the king, when he heard this matter, felt very much distressed within himself, and on account of Daniel he sought an excuse to deliver him; and till the going down of the sun he strove hard to rescue him.
15 त्यसपछि षड्यन्त्र रच्ने यी मानिसहरू एकसाथ राजाकहाँ भेला भए र तिनलाई भने, “हे महाराजा हजुरलाई यो थाहा होस्, कि यो मादी र फारसीहरूको ऐन हो, जसलाई राजाले जारी गर्ने अर्को कुनै उर्दि वा नियमले हेरफेर गर्न सक्दैन ।”
Then came these men tumultuously unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is the law of the Medes and Persians. That every prohibition and statute which the king hath established is not to be changed.
16 अनि राजाले आज्ञा दिए र तिनीहरूले दानिएललाई भित्र ल्याए र तिनीहरूले उनलाई सिंहको खोरमा फाले । राजाले दानिएललाई भने, “तिमीले निरन्तर सेवा गर्ने तिम्रो परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई बचाऊन् ।”
Then gave the king the order, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king commenced and said unto Daniel, May thy God whom thou worshippest continually, truly deliver thee.
17 खोरको ढोकामा एउटा ढुङ्गो ल्याएर राखियो, र दानिएलको विषयमा केही पनि परिवर्तन नहोस् भनेर राजाले त्यसमा आफ्नो अनि आफ्ना भारदारहरूका औंठीको मोहर लगाए ।
And a stone was brought, and placed upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet-ring, and with the signet-ring of his lords, that nothing should be changed in the purpose concerning Daniel.
18 त्यसपछि राजा आफ्नो महलमा गए र रातभरि उपवास बसे । तिनको अगि कुनै मनोरन्जनका कुरा ल्याइएन, र उनलाई कत्ति पनि निद्रा लागेन ।
Then went the king to his palace, and passed the night fasting: and no food was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
19 अनि राजा बिहान सबेरै उठे र उनी झट्टै सिंहको खोरतर्फ गए ।
Then arose the king by the morning-dawn, as soon as it was light, and went in great haste unto the den of lions.
20 जसै तिनी खोरको नजिक आए, तिनले निरास भएको सोरले दानिएललाई यसो भनेर बोलाए, “ए दानिएल, जीवित परमेश्वरका सेवक, के तिमीले निरन्तर सेवा गर्ने तिम्रा परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई सिंहहरूबाट बचाउन सक्षम हुनुभएको छ?”
And when he came near to the den, he cried with a mournful voice unto Daniel: the king commenced and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God, whom thou worshippest continually, been able to deliver thee from the lions!
21 अनि दानिएलले राजालाई भने, “महाराजा, अमर रहून्!
Then spoke Daniel with the king, O king, live for ever.
22 मेरा परमेश्वरले आफ्नो सन्देशवाहक पठाउनुभएको अनि सिंहहरूका मुखहरूलाई बन्द गर्नुभएको छ, र तिनीहरूले मलाई कुनै हानी गरेका छैनन् । किनभने उहाँ अनि हजुर, महाराजाका सामु म दोषरहित भेट्टाइएँ, र मैले हजुरलाई कुनै हानी गरेको छैनँ ।”
My God sent his angel, and locked up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, had I done nothing injurious.
23 अनि राजा अत्यन्तै खुशी भए । तिनले दानिएललाई खोरबाट माथि निकाल्ने आदेश दिए । यसैले दानिएललाई खोरबाट माथि निकालियो । उनमा कुनै पनि चोट भेट्टाइएन, किनभने उनले आफ्ना परमेश्वरमाथि भरोसा गरेका थिए ।
Then was the king exceedingly glad within himself, and concerning Daniel he ordered to bring him up out of the den. So was Daniel brought up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 राजाले आदेश दिए र दानिएललाई दोष लगाउने मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूले ल्याए अनि तिनीहरू, तिनका छोराछोरी, र तिनका पत्नीहरूलाई सिंहहरूको खोरमा फालिदिए । तिनीहरू भुइँमा पुग्न नपाउँदै, सिंहहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि झम्टे, र तिनीहरूका हड्डीहरूलाई टुक्रा टुक्रा पारे ।
And the king gave the order, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel treacherously, and they cast into the den of lions them, their children, and their wives; and they had not yet touched the bottom of the den when the lions had the mastery over them, and ground up all their bones.
25 त्यसपछि राजा दाराले पृथ्वीमा बस्ने सबै मानिसहरू, जातिहरू, र भाषा बोल्नेहरूलाई यस्तो लेखे: “तिमीहरूमा प्रशस्त शान्ति होस् ।
Then wrote king Darius unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell on all the earth, May your welfare increase.
26 म अब यो एउटा उर्दि जारी गर्छु, कि मेरो अधिराज्यमा रहने सबै मानिसले दानिएलका परमेश्वरको भय मान्नू र आदर गर्नू, किनभने उहाँ नै जीवित परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँ सदासर्वदा रहनुहुन्छ, र उहाँको राज्य नष्ट हुनेछैन, र उहाँको प्रभुत्व अन्त्यसम्म रहनेछ ।
From me is it decreed, That in all the dominion of my kingdom men shall tremble and have fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and endureth for ever, and it is his kingdom which will not be destroyed, and his dominion will be unto the end [of things].
27 उहाँले हामीलाई सुरक्षित राख्नुहुन्छ र हामीलाई बचाउनुहुन्छ, अनि उहाँले स्वर्गमा र पृथ्वीमा चिन्हहरू र आश्चर्य कामहरू गर्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले दानिएललाई सिंहहरूको शक्तिबाट सुरक्षित राख्नुभएको छ ।”
He delivereth and rescueth, and he displayeth sings and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 यसरी दाराको शासनकालमा अनि फारसी कोरेसको शासनकालमा दानिएल समृद्धि भयो ।
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
