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 had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
2 दानिएलले वर्णन गरे, “रातमा मैले देखेको दर्शनमा स्वर्गका चार बतासले महान् समुद्रलाई घोलिरहेको मैले देखें ।
Daniel spoke and said, “I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke out on the great sea.
3 प्रत्येक नै एक-अर्काबाट भिन्न चार विशाल पशु समुद्रबाट बाहिर आए ।
Four great animals came up from the sea, different from one 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 eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet as a man. 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 ।’
“Behold, there was another animal, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. They said this 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 saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The animal 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, there was a fourth animal, awesome, powerful, and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth. It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the animals that were before it. 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 considered the horns, and behold, there came up amongst them another horn, a little one, 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 arrogantly.
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 watched until thrones were placed, and one who was Ancient of Days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels 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 out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgement was set. 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 watched at that time because of the voice of the arrogant words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burnt with fire.
12 चारवटा पशुमध्येका अरू बाँकीका बारेमा, राज्य गर्ने अधिकार खोसियो, तर केही समयको निम्ति तिनीहरूका उमेर बढाइयो ।
As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged 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, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, 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 ।
Dominion was given him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be destroyed.
15 म दानिएलको बारेमा, मभित्र मेरो आत्मा दु: खित भयो, र मेरो मनमा मैले देखेका दर्शनहरूले मलाई विचलित बनाए ।
“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, 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 those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. “So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17 ‘यी विशाल पशुका चारवटा सङ्ख्याले चार जना राजालाई जनाउँछन् जो पृथ्वीमा खडा हुनेहुन् ।
‘These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who will arise out of the earth.
18 तर सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिसहरूले त्यो राज्य प्राप्त गर्नेछन्, र तिनीहरूले सदासर्वदाको निम्ति त्यसको अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।’
But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever 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 animal, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its 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 that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
21 जसै मैले हेरें, त्यो सिङले पवित्र मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध युद्ध सुरु गर्यो र तिनीहरूलाई पराजित गर्दै थियो,
I saw, 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 Ancient of Days came, and judgement was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed 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 ।
“So he said, ‘The fourth animal will be a fourth kingdom on earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will 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 ।
As for the ten horns, ten kings will arise out of this kingdom. Another will arise after them; and he will be different from the former, and he will put down 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 ।
He will speak words against the Most High, and will wear out the saints of the Most High. He will plan to change the times and the law; and they will be given into his hand until 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 judgement will be set, and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
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 ।’
The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will 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 is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.”
