दानिएल 8

1 राजा बेलसजरले राज्‍य गर्न सुरु गरेको तेस्रो वर्षमा, (मैले पहिला देखेको दर्शनपछि) म, दानिएलले अर्को दर्शन देखें ।

“In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision has appeared to me—I Daniel—after that which had appeared to me at the beginning.

2 मैले हेरिरहँदा, दर्शनमा मैले आफूलाई एलाम प्रदेशको शूशनको किल्लामा भएको देखें । दर्शनमा म ऊलै नहरको छेउमा थिएँ ।

And I see in a vision, and it comes to pass, in my seeing, and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream Ulai.

3 मैले माथि हेरें र मेरो सामु नहरको छेउमा दुईवटा सिङ भएको एउटा भेडालाई मैले देखें । एउटा सिङचाहिं अर्कोभन्दा लामो थियो, तर छोटोभन्दा लामो ढिला बढ्यो र छोटोले त्‍यसलाई जित्‍यो ।

And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain ram is standing before the stream, and it has two horns, and the two horns [are] high; and one [is] higher than the other, and the high one is coming up last.

4 अनि त्यो भेडाले पश्‍चिममा, त्‍यसपछि उत्तरमा, र त्यसपछि दक्षिणमा हानिरहेको मैले देखें । त्यसको सामु अरू कुनै पशु खडा हुन सकेन । तीमध्‍ये कुनैले पनि कसैलाई पनि त्यसको हातबाट बचाउन सकेन । आफूलाई जे मन लाग्‍यो, त्‍यसले त्‍यही गर्‍यो, र त्यो महान् भयो ।

I have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, and no living creatures stand before it, and there is none delivering out of its hand, and it has done according to its pleasure, and has exerted itself.

5 जब मैले यसको बारेमा विचार गरिरहेको थिएँ, तब पश्‍चिमबाट आउँदै गरेको एउटा बोकोलाई मैले देखें, जो जमिनलाई नै नछोए जस्‍तो गरी द्रुत गतिमा दौडेर सम्‍पूर्ण पृथ्वीको सतहमा गयो । त्यो बोकोको आँखाहरूका बिचमा एउटा ठुलो सिङ थियो ।

And I have been considering, and behold, a young male goat has come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none is touching in the earth; as for the young male goat, a conspicuous horn [is] between its eyes.

6 दुईवटा सिङ भएको भेडाकहाँ त्यो आयो—त्यो भेडालाई नहरको किनारमा खडा भएको मैले देखेको थिएँ— र त्यो बोको उक्‍त भेडातर्फ शक्तिशाली क्रोधमा दौडियो ।

And it comes to the ram possessing the two horns, that I had seen standing before the stream, and runs to it in the fury of its power.

7 त्यो बोकोलाई उक्‍त भेडाको नजिक आएको मैले देखें । भेडासँग त्यो धेरै रिसाएको थियो, र त्यसले भेडालाई हिर्कायो र त्यसका दुईवटै सिङलाई भाँचिदियो । त्यसको सामु खडा हुनलाई त्यो भेडो शक्तिहीन थियो । बोकोले त्यसलाई भुइँमा ढाल्‍यो र त्यसलाई कुल्चियो । त्यसको शक्तिबाट त्यो भेडालाई बचाउने त्यहाँ कोही थिएन ।

And I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becomes embittered at it, and strikes the ram, and breaks its two horns, and there has been no power in the ram to stand before it, and it casts it to the earth, and tramples it down, and there has been no deliverer to the ram out of its power.

8 तब त्यो बोको धेरै ठुलो भयो । तर जब त्यो शक्तिशाली भयो, त्यसको ठुलो सिङ भाँचियो, र त्यसको ठाउँमा अरू चार ठुला सिङ पलाए जसले आकाशका चारै बतासलाई देखाए ।

And the young male goat has exerted itself very much, and when it is strong, the great horn has been broken; and a vision of four comes up in its place, at the four winds of the heavens.

9 तीमध्येबाट अर्को एउटा सिङ पलायो, जुन पहिला सानो थियो, तर त्यो दक्षिणमा, पूर्वमा, र सुन्दरताको देशमा धेरै विशाल भयो ।

And from one of them has come forth a little horn, and it exerts itself greatly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful [land];

10 त्यो यति विशाल भयो, कि त्यो स्वर्गको सेनासँग युद्ध गर्न तयार भयो । ती सेनामध्ये कोही र केही ताराहरू पृथ्वीमा फालिए, र त्यसले तीमाथि कुल्चियो ।

indeed, it exerts to the host of the heavens, and causes to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and tramples them down.

11 त्यसले आफूलाई सेनाका कमान्‍डर जत्तिकै महान् बनायो । त्यसले उहाँबाट नियमित होमबलि खोसेर लग्यो, र उहाँको पवित्रस्थानलाई अशुद्ध पारियो ।

And to the prince of the host it exerts itself, and the continual [sacrifice] has been taken away by it, and thrown down the base of his sanctuary.

12 विद्रोहको कारणले, त्‍यो सेनालाई बोकोको सिङकहाँ सुम्पिइनेछ, र होमबलि रोकिनेछ । त्यो सिङले सत्यतालाई तल जमिनमा फाल्नेछ, र त्यसले जे गर्छ त्यसमा त्यो सफल हुनेछ ।

And the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice], through transgression, and it throws down truth to the earth, and it has worked, and prospered.

13 त्‍यसपछि एक जना पवित्र जनले बोल्‍दै गर्नुभएको र अर्को पवित्र जनले उहाँलाई यसो भनेर जवाफ दिंदै गर्नुभएको मैले सुनें, “यी दर्शनका कुराहरू रहने, होमबलि, सर्वनाश ल्याउने पाप, पवित्रस्थानको हस्तान्तरण, र स्वर्गका सेनाहरू कुल्चिइएका पूरा हुनलाई कहिलेसम्म लाग्‍छ?”

And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy one says to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Until when [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the transgression, an astonishment, to make a treading down of both sanctuary and host?

14 उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यो २,३०० साँझ र बिहानसम्म रहनेछ । त्यसपछि पवित्रस्थान फेरि शुद्ध पारिनेछ ।”

And he says to me, Until evening—morning two thousand and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right.

15 जब म, दानिएलले त्यो दर्शन देखें, तब मैले त्यो बुझ्ने कोसिस गरें । तब मेरो सामु एक जना खडा भए जो मानिसजस्तो देखिन्‍थे ।

And it comes to pass in my seeing—I, Daniel—the vision, that I require understanding, and behold, standing before me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one.

16 ऊलै नहरको किनाराहरूका बिचबाट एक जना मानिसले यस्तो भन्दै गरेको आवाज मैले सुनें । उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “ए गाब्रिएल, यो दर्शन बुझ्‍नलाई यस मानिसलाई मदत गर ।”

And I hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and he calls and says: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand the appearance.

17 यसैले तिनी म उभिएको ठाउँ नजिक आए । जब तिनी आए, म भयभीत भएँ र आफूलाई भुइँमा लम्‍पसार पारेर दण्डवत् गरें । तिनले मलाई भने, “ए मानिसको पुत्र, यो दर्शन अन्तको समयको निम्ति हो भन्‍ने कुरा बुझ ।”

And he comes in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he says to me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] the vision.

18 तिनले मसँग बोलिरहँदा, मेरो अनुहार भुइँमा घोप्‍टो पारेर म गहिरो निद्रामा निदाएँ । तब तिनले मलाई छोए र मलाई खडा गराए ।

And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he comes against me, and causes me to stand on my station,

19 तिनले भने, “हेर, पछि क्रोधको समयमा के हुनेछ भनेर म तिमीलाई देखाउनेछु, किनभने यो दर्शन अन्त हुन तोकिएको समयको निम्ति हो ।

and says: Behold, I am causing you to know that which is in the latter end of the indignation; for at the appointed time [is] the end.

20 तिमीले देखेका भेडाको बारेमा, जसका दुई सिङ थिए, ती मादी र फारसका राजाहरू हुन् ।

The ram that you have seen possessing two horns, [are] the kings of Media and Persia.

21 त्यो बोकोचाहिं ग्रीसको राजा हो । त्यसका आँखाका बिचको सिङचाहिं पहिलो राजा हो ।

And the young male goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its eyes is the first king;

22 अनि जुन सिङ भाँचियो, जसको ठाउँमा चारवटा अरू उम्रे, उसको राज्यबाट चारवटा राज्‍य खडा हुनेछन्, तर उसको महान् शक्तिमा होइन ।

and that being broken, four stand up in its place, four kingdoms stand up from the nation, and not in its power.

23 ती राज्यहरूको पछिल्लो समयमा, जब अपराधीहरूको पाप चरम सिमामा पुग्छ, एक जना हठी राजा खडा हुनेछ, जो धेरै बुद्धिमान् हुनेछ ।

And in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, a king stands up, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things;

24 उसको शक्ति महान् हुनेछ— तर उसको आफ्नै शक्तिले होइन । उसले जे कुराको विनाश गर्छ, त्‍यसमा ऊ अचम्ममा पर्नेछ । काम गर्नेछ र सफल हुनेछ । उसले शक्तिशाली मानिसहरू, अर्थात् पवित्र जनहरूका बिचमा भएका मानिसहरूलाई सर्वनाश गर्नेछ ।

and his power has been mighty, and not by his own power; and he destroys wonderful things, and he has prospered, and worked, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the Holy Ones.

25 आफ्नो धूर्तताले उसले आफ्नो हातमुनि छललाई सफल पार्नेछ । आफ्नै मनमा ऊ महान् हुनेछ । उसले अप्रत्‍यासित किसिमले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई नाश गर्नेछ । राजाहरूका राजाको विरुद्धमा पनि ऊ उठ्नेछ, र ऊ टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ, तर मानिसका हातले होइन ।

And by his understanding he has also caused deceit to prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerts himself, and by ease he destroys many; and he stands against the Prince of princes—and he is broken without hand.

26 साँझ र बिहानको विषयमा बताइएका यी दर्शनहरू सत्य हुन् । तर यो दर्शनलाई मोहर लगाई बन्द गर, किनकि यसले भविष्यका धेरै दिनहरूलाई जनाउँछ ।”

And the appearance of the evening and of the morning, that is told, is true; and you, hide the vision, for [it is] after many days.

27 अनि, म दानिएल थकित भएँ र केही दिनसम्म कमजोर भएँ । त्यसपछि, म उठें, र राजाको कामधन्धामा लागें । तर म दर्शनको कारणले भयभीत भएँ, र यसलाई बुझ्ने त्यहाँ कोही थिएन ।

And I, Daniel, have been, indeed, I became sick [for] days, and I rise, and do the king’s work, and am astonished at the appearance, and there is none understanding.”
