दानिएल 7
1 बेबिलोनका राजा बेलसजरको पहिलो वर्षमा, दानिएल आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहँदा तिनले एउटा सपना र दर्शन देखे । अनि तिनले सपनामा देखेका कुरालाई लेखे । तिनले सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण घटनाहरूलाई लेखेः
In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed. Then he wrote the dream, and related the sum of the matters.
2 दानिएलले वर्णन गरे, “रातमा मैले देखेको दर्शनमा स्वर्गका चार बतासले महान् समुद्रलाई घोलिरहेको मैले देखें ।
Daniel spake and said: —I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven burst forth upon the great sea.
3 प्रत्येक नै एक-अर्काबाट भिन्न चार विशाल पशु समुद्रबाट बाहिर आए ।
And four great beasts came up out of the sea, diverse one from another.
4 पहिलोचाहिं सिंहजस्तो देखिन्थ्यो तर त्यसका चीलका पखेटाहरू थिए । मैले हेर्दै गर्दा, त्यसका पखेटाहरू च्यातिए र जमिनबाट त्यसलाई माथि उठाइयो र मानिसझैं दुई खुट्टामा त्यसलाई खडा गरियो । त्यसलाई मानिसको मन दिइएको थियो ।
The first was like a lion, and had the wings of an eagle; I beheld till its wings were plucked from it, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon its feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 अनि त्यहाँ अर्को एउटा भालुजस्तो पशु थियो, र त्यो झुकिरहेको थियो । आफ्ना दाँतहरूका बिचमा त्यसले तिनवटा करङ थिए । त्यसलाई यसो भनियो, ‘उठ् र धेरै जना मानिसलाई खा ।’
And behold, another beast, the second, like to a bear; and it stood up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and they spake thus to it: Arise, devour much flesh!
6 यसपछि मैले फेरि हेरें । त्यहाँ अर्को एउटा पशु थियो, जुन चितुवाजस्तो देखिन्थ्यो । त्यसको पछाडिपट्टि चराका जस्तै चारवटा पखेटा थिए, र त्यसका चारवटा टाउका थिए । राज्य गर्ने अधिकार त्यसलाई दिइएको थियो ।
After this I beheld, and lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7 त्यसपछि रातको दर्शनमा डरलाग्दो, भयङ्कर, र धेरै बलियो थियो एउटा चौथो पशु मैले देखें । त्यसका फलाममा ठुला-ठुला दाँत थिए । त्यसले चपायो, टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्थ्यो, र बाँकीलाई खुट्टामुनि कुल्चियो । अरू पशुभन्दा त्यो फरक थियो, र त्यसका दशवटा सिङ थिए ।
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful, and terrible, and exceedingly strong; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured, and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet, and it differed from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 जसै मैले ती सिङहरूका बारेमा विचार गर्दै थिएँ, मैले हेरें र ती सिङका बिचमा अर्को एउटा सानो सिङ बढ्दै गरेको देखें । पहिलो तिनवटा सिङ उखेलिएर झरे । यो सिङका आँखा मानिसका आँखाजास्ता भएको मैले देखें र त्यसको एउटा मुखले ठुला कुराहरूको सेखी गर्दै थियो ।
I gave heed to the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 जसै मैले हेरें, सिंहासनहरू तयार पारिएका थिए, र दिनहरूभन्दा प्राचीनले चाहिं आफ्नो आशन ग्रहण गर्नुभयो । उहाँका वस्त्र हिउँझैं सेता थिए, र उहाँको शिरको कपाल शुद्ध ऊनजस्तो थियो । उहाँको सिंहासनमा आगोको ज्वाला थियो, र त्यसका चक्काहरू बलिरहने आगो थियो ।
I beheld, till thrones were placed, and an aged one seated himself, his garment white like snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne like a fiery flame, and its wheels like burning fire.
10 उहाँको सामुबाट आगोको नदी बग्यो । लाखौं-लाखले उहाँको सेवा गरे, र दस करोडचाहिं उहाँको सामु खडा थिए । अदालतले न्यायको काम सुरु गर्यो, र पुस्तकहरू खोलिए ।
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him; thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the tribunal sat, and the books were opened.
11 त्यो सिङले बोलेका अहङ्कारपुर्ण वचनहरूका कारणले मैले निरन्तर हेरें । त्यो पशु मारिएको र त्यसको शरीर नष्ट पारिएको, र त्यसलाई जलाउनलाई दिइएको मैले देखें ।
I beheld; and because of the great words which the horn spake, I beheld till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
12 चारवटा पशुमध्येका अरू बाँकीका बारेमा, राज्य गर्ने अधिकार खोसियो, तर केही समयको निम्ति तिनीहरूका उमेर बढाइयो ।
As to the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, for the duration of their lives had been appointed for a season and a time.
13 त्यस रातको मेरा दर्शनहरूमा, आकाशका बादलहरूका साथमा मानिसका पुत्रजस्तै एक जना आउँदै गर्नुभएको मैले देखें । दिनहरूभन्दा प्राचीनकाहाँ उहाँ आउनुभयो र उहाँको सामु उपस्थित गराउनुभयो ।
I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven came one like a son of man, and came to the aged one, and they brought him near before him.
14 राज्य गर्नलाई अधिकार र महिमा र राजकीय शक्ति उहाँलाई दिइयो, यसैले कि सबै मानिसहरू, जातिहरू, र भाषा बोल्नेहरूले उहाँको सेवा गरून् । राज्य गर्ने उहाँको अधिकारचाहिं सदासर्वदाको अधिकार हो जुन बितेर जानेछैन, अनि उहाँको राज्य त्यस्तो हो जुन कहिल्यै पनि नाश हुनेछैन ।
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
15 म दानिएलको बारेमा, मभित्र मेरो आत्मा दु: खित भयो, र मेरो मनमा मैले देखेका दर्शनहरूले मलाई विचलित बनाए ।
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit within me, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 त्यहाँ खडा भएकामध्ये एक जनाको नजिक म गएँ र यी कुराहरूको अर्थ मलाई देखाउनलाई मैले तिनलाई बिन्ती गरें ।
I came near to one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
17 ‘यी विशाल पशुका चारवटा सङ्ख्याले चार जना राजालाई जनाउँछन् जो पृथ्वीमा खडा हुनेहुन् ।
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 तर सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरूले त्यो राज्य प्राप्त गर्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले सदासर्वदाको निम्ति त्यसको अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।’
Then shall the saints of the Most High receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even for ever and ever.
19 अनि त्यो चौथो पशुको बारेमा अझै धेरै जान्ने मलाई इच्छा भयो— त्यो अरूभन्दा धेरै फरक थियो र आफ्ना फलामका दाँत र काँसाका नङ्ग्राका कारणले त्यो धेरै डरलाग्दो थियो । त्यसले चपायो, टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्थ्यो, र बाँकीमाथि खुट्टाले कुल्चियो ।
Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which differed from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass, which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 त्यसको शिरका दशवटा सिङ र नयाँ पलाएको अर्को सिङ जसको सामु तिनवटा सिङ उखेलिएर झरेको बारेमा जान्ने इच्छा मलाई भयो। आँखा भएका सिङ र ठुला कुराहरूको सेखी गर्ने मुखको बारेमा जान्ने इच्छा मलाई भयो, अनि त्यो आफ्ना मित्रहरूभन्दा महान् देखिन्थ्यो ।
and concerning the ten horns which were in his head, and the other which came up, and before which three fell, —even that horn which had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, and whose appearance was larger than that of his fellows.
21 जसै मैले हेरें, त्यो सिङले पवित्र मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध युद्ध सुरु गर्यो र तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गर्दै थियो,
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints and prevailed against them,
22 जबसम्म दिनहरूभन्दा प्राचीन आउनुभएन, र सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरूलाई न्याय दिनुभएन । तब समय आयो जब पवित्र मानिसहरूले राज्य प्राप्त गरे ।
until the aged one came, and judgment was rendered to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints should possess the kingdom.
23 ती मानिसले यसो भने, ‘चौथो पशुको बारेमा, त्यो पृथ्वीमा चौथो राज्य हुनेछ जुनचाहिं अरू सबै राज्यभन्दा फरक हुनेछ । त्यसले सारा पृथ्वीलाई नाश गर्नेछ र त्यसलाई कुल्चनेछ र त्यसलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेछ ।
He spake thus: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall differ from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 दसवटा सिङका बारेमाचाहिं, यो राज्यबाट दस जना राजा खडा हुनेछन्, तिनीहरूभन्दा पछि अर्को खडा हुनेछ । पहिलेकाभन्दा ऊ फरक हुनेछ, र उसले तिन जना राजालाई पराजित गर्नेछ ।
And the ten horns are ten kings, which shall arise out of this kingdom; and another shall arise after them; and he shall differ from the former, and shall subdue three kings.
25 उसले सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका विरुद्ध बोल्नेछ र सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरूमाथि अत्याचार गर्नेछ । उसले चाडहरू र व्यवस्थालाई परिवर्तन गर्न कोसिस गर्नेछ । यी कुराहरूलाई उसको हातमा एक वर्ष, दुई वर्ष, र आधा वर्षको लागि दिइनेछ ।
And he will speak great words against the Most High, and will harass the saints of the Most High, and will resolve to change times and laws; and they shall be given into his hand a time, and times, and half a time.
26 तर अदालतले न्यायको काम सुरु गर्नेछ, र अन्त्यमा भष्म पारिन र नाश गरिनलाई तिनीहरूले उसका राजकीय शक्तिलाई खोस्नेछन् ।
But the tribunal shall sit, and his dominion shall be taken away, and consumed and destroyed forever.
27 राज्य र प्रभुत्व, र सम्पूर्ण स्वर्गमुनिका राज्यहरूको महान्ता ती मानिसहरूलाई दिइनेछ जो सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरू हुन् । उहाँको राज्य सदासर्वदाको राज्य हो, र अरू सबै राज्यहरूले उहाँको सेवा गर्नेछन् र उहाँको आज्ञा मान्नेछन् ।’
And the sovereignty and dominion and power over all kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28 कुराको अन्त यही हो । म, दानिएलको बारेमा, मेरा विचारहरूले मलाई धेरै भयभीत बनाए र मेरो अनुहारको स्वरूप परिवर्तन भयो । तर यी कुराहरू मैले आफूमा नै सिमित राखें ।”
Here ended his words. As for me Daniel, my thoughts terrified me much, and my countenance changed; but I kept the matter in my heart.
