दानिएल 9
1 दारा मादी वंशका अहासूरसका छोरा थिए । यी तिनै अहासूरस थिए जसलाई बेबिलोनको राज्यमाथि राजा बनाइएको थियो ।
[Now I am going to tell you about what happened] when Darius, who was from the Mede people-group and who was the son of Xerxes, ruled as the King of Babylonia.
2 अब दाराले राज्य सुरु गरेको पहिलो वर्षमा, म दानिएलले, परमप्रभुको वचन पढ्दै थिएँ, जुन वचन यर्मियाकहाँ अगमवक्ता आएको थियो । यरूशलेम त्यागिएको अवस्थामा सत्तरी वर्षसम्म रहन्छ भनिएको मैले देखें ।
During the first year that he was the king, I, Daniel, was studying/reading the [holy] books/Scriptures the message that Yahweh had given to the prophet Jeremiah. In that message Jeremiah had written that Jerusalem would [be destroyed and] remain ruined for seventy years.
3 उपवाससहित प्रार्थना र बिन्ती गर्न, भाङ्ग्रा लगाउँदै र खरानीमा बस्दै परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्न मैले आफ्नो अनुहार उहाँतर्फ फर्काएँ ।
[After I read that], I pleaded to Yahweh my God [to help us], praying and (fasting/abstaining from eating food). [While doing that, I was wearing] rough cloth and [sitting in] ashes [to show that I was very sad about what was going to happen to us].
4 परमप्रभु आफ्नो परमेश्वरसँग मैले प्रार्थना गरें, अनि मैले हाम्रा पापहरू स्वीकारें । मैले भनें, “कृपया, हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं महान् र भययोग्य परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ, तपाईंले आफ्नो करारको पालन गर्नुहुन्छ र तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्ने र तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू मान्नेलाई प्रेम गर्न तपाईं विश्वासयोग्य हुनुहुन्छ ।
I confessed [the sins that we had committed], and [this is what I] prayed: Lord, you are great and awesome! You have faithfully done what you said that you would do for us. You faithfully love those who love you and who do what you have commanded [that they should do].
5 हामीले पाप गरेका छौं र गलत काम गरेका छौं। हामीले दुष्टतापुर्वक काम गरेका छौं र तपाईंका आज्ञा र विधिहरूबाट तर्केर हामीले बागी भएका छौं।
But we [Israelis] have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled [against you]. We have turned away from [obeying] your commands [DOU].
6 तपाईंका नाउँमा हाम्रा राजाहरू, अगुवाहरू, पुर्खाहरू र देशका सबै मानिसहरूसँग बोलेका तपाईंका सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूका वचन हामीले सुनेका छैनौं ।
Your prophets spoke for you [MTY], [giving your messages to] kings, to our other rulers, to our [other] ancestors, and to all the Israeli people, but we have refused to (pay attention to/heed) those prophets.
7 हे परमप्रभु, धार्मिकता तपाईंको हो । तर आज, हाम्रो अनुहार, अनि यहूदाका मानिसहरू र यरूशलेममा बस्नेहरू, र सारा इस्राएलीहरू लाजमा परेका छन् । अनि तपाईंले विभिन्न ठाउँहरूमा छरपष्ट पार्नुभएका नजिक र टाढाका सबै मानिसहरू त्यसमा समावेश हुन्छन् । हामीले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा गरेका विश्वासघातको कारणले नै यस्तो भएको हो ।
Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed [IDM]. This is [still] true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is [also] true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who [were taken to] other countries, some near [Israel] and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.
8 हे परमप्रभु, हामीले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका कारणले गर्दा, हामी, हाम्रा राजाहरू, अगुवाहरू, र पुर्खाहरूका अनुहार शर्ममा परेका छन् ।
Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
9 दया र क्षमा परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरका हुन्, किनकि हामीले उहाँको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गरेका छौं ।
Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
10 आफ्ना सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा परमप्रभुले हामीलाई दिनुभएका उहाँका व्यवस्थामा हिंड्नलाई हामीले उहाँको वचन मानेका छैनौं ।
Yahweh our God, when you gave your laws to your prophets who served you, and they told us to conduct our lives according to those laws, we did not (listen to/heed) you.
11 तपाईंको वचन पालन गर्नलाई इन्कार गरेर सबै इस्राएलले तपाईंको व्यवस्थाको विरुद्धमा अपराध गरेका छन्। परमेश्वरका सेवक मोशाका व्यवस्थामा लेखिएका सराप र प्रतिज्ञा हामीमाथि खनिएका छन्, किनकि हामीले उहाँको विरुद्ध पाप गरेका छौं।
All [of us] Israeli people have disobeyed your laws, and we have turned away from [obeying] what you said. We have sinned against you. As a result, [you] have caused us to experience the terrible things that your servant Moses said/wrote [would happen to us] if we sinned against you.
12 परमप्रभुले हामीमाथि ठुलो विपत्ति ल्याउनुभएर उहाँले हामी र हाम्रा शासकहरूका विरुद्धमा बोल्नुभएका वचनहरू पुरा गर्नुभएको छ । किनभने यरूशलेमलाई जे गरिएको छ सारा स्वर्गमुनि त्यस्तो कहिल्यै गरिएको छैन ।
You warned us and our rulers that you would punish Jerusalem severely by causing a great disaster there, a disaster that would be worse than any disaster that any other city had ever experienced, and you have done what you said that you would do.
13 मोशाको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएझैं सबै विपत्ति हामीमाथि आइपरेको छन्, तापनि आफ्ना पापबाट फर्केर र तपाईं परमप्रभु परमेश्वरका सत्यतामा ध्यान दिएर हामीले तपाईंबाट कृपा पाउन अझैसम्म बिन्ती गरेका छैनौं ।
[You] punished us just like Moses wrote [that you would do]. But, Yahweh our God, we still have not tried, by turning away from our sinning and by heeding your truth, to persuade you to act mercifully toward us.
14 यसकारण परमप्रभुले विपत्तिलाई पठाउन तयार राख्नुभएको छ, र त्यो हामीमाथि ल्याउनुभएको छ, किनभने परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर आफूले गर्नुहुने सबै काममा धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ, तापनि हामीले उहाँको वचन पालना गरेका छैनौं ।
So, because we did not obey you, you prepared to punish us, and [then] you did punish us, because you always do what is righteous/just/fair.
15 अब हे परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर, शक्तिशाली हातले तपाईंले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो, र आजको दिनसम्म तपाईंले आफ्नो नामको ख्याति कायम राख्नुभएको छ । तापनि हामीले अझै पाप गर्यौं, र हामीले दुष्ट काम गरेका छौं ।
O Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt by your great power [MTY], and by doing that you have caused people from that time until the present time to know that you are great [IDM] [even though] we have sinned and done wicked things.
16 हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंका सबै धार्मिक कामहरूका कारणले, तपाईंको सहर यरूशलेम, तपाईंको पवित्र पर्वतबाट तपाईंको रिस र क्रोध हटोस् । हाम्रा पापहरू र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूका अपराधहरूका कारणले, यरूशलेम र हाम्रा वरिपरि भएका तपाईंका मानिस सबै घृणाका पात्र भएका छन् ।
Lord, Jerusalem is your city, and [your temple was built there] on your sacred hill. Now all the people who live in nearby [countries/nations] despise Jerusalem and [us] your people because of our sins and because of the evil things that our ancestors did. But [now], because you do what is righteous/just, [we ask you to] not be angry with Jerusalem any longer.
17 अब हे हाम्रा परमेश्वर, तपाईंको दासको प्रार्थना र कृपाको निम्ति गरिएको उसको निवेदन सुन्नुहोस् । हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंको खातिर, उजाड भएको तपाईंको पवित्र स्थानमा आफ्नो अनुहार चम्काउनुहोस् ।
O Lord our God, listen to what I am praying and pleading [for you to do]. (For your own sake/In order that people will know that you are very great), act kindly [IDM] concerning your temple, which was destroyed [by the armies of Babylonia].
18 मेरा परमेश्वर, आफ्ना कान खोल्नुहोस् र सुन्नुहोस् । आफ्ना आँखा खोल्नुहोस् र हेर्नुहोस् । हामी तहस-नहस पारिएका छौं। तपाईंको नामद्वारा पुकारिने त्यो सहरलाई हेर्नुहोस् । हाम्रो धार्मिकताको कारणले होइन, तर तपाईंको महान् कृपाको कारणले तपाईंबाट सहायता पाउनलाई हामी बिन्ती गर्छौं ।
My God, listen [to my prayer]. Look [at us] and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you [MTY] has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.
19 हे परमप्रभु सुन्नुहोस्! हे परमप्रभु क्षमा गर्नुहोस्! हे परमप्रभु ध्यान दिनुहोस् र काम गर्नुहोस् । हे मेरा परमेश्वर, तपाईंको आफ्नै निम्ति ढिला नगर्नुहोस्, किनभने तपाईंको सहर र तपाईंका मानिस तपाईंकै नाउँले बोलाइन्छन् ।”
Lord, listen [to us]! Lord, forgive us! Lord, this city and these people belong to you, so [we plead with you to] heed what we are saying and act [to help us] right now, (for your own sake/in order that people will know that you are very great)!
20 जब म बोलिरहेको, प्रार्थना गरिरहेको र आफू अनि आफ्ना मानिस इस्राएलका पाप स्विकार गरिरहेको थिएँ, र परमेश्वरको पवित्र पर्वत निम्ति परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वरको सामु मेरा बिन्तीहरू राख्दै थिएँ—
I continued praying and confessing the sins that my people and I had committed, and pleading with Yahweh my God that he would restore [the temple on] the sacred hill [in Jerusalem].
21 मैले प्रार्थना गरिरहँदा, मैले दर्शनमा पहिला देखेको मानिस, गाब्रिएल साँझको बलिदानको समयमा तिव्र वेगले उडेर तल मकाहाँ आए ।
While I was praying, Gabriel, the angel/one whom I had seen in the vision previously, came flying rapidly to me, at the time in the evening when [the priests] offered sacrifices.
22 उनले मलाई समझ दिए र मलाई भने, “ए दानिएल, तिमीलाई अन्तर्दृष्टि र समझ दिनलाई अहिले म आएको हुँ ।
He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
23 तिमीले कृपाको निम्ति बिन्ती गर्न सुरु गर्दा, आज्ञा दिइयो र तिमीलाई जवाफको बारेमा बताउनलाई म आएको हुँ, किनकि तिमीलाई धेरै प्रेम गरिएको छ । यसकारण यो वचन विचार गर र प्रकट भएको कुरालाई बुझ ।
When you began to plead [with God], he gave me a message [to pass on to you]. He loves you very much, so [he has sent me] to tell you what he said to me. So [now] (pay attention/listen carefully) in order that you may understand the meaning of what he revealed [to Jeremiah].
24 तिम्रा मानिसहरू र तिम्रो पवित्र सहरको दोषको अन्त्य गर्न र पापलाई अन्त्य गर्न, दुष्टताको निम्ति पश्चात्ताप गर्न, अनन्त धार्मिकता ल्याउन, दर्शन र अगमवाणीलाई पुरा गर्न, र अति पवित्र स्थानलाई शुद्ध पार्नलाई सत्तरी सातहरूको आदेश दिइएको छ ।
[God] has determined/declared that there will be 490 years until he frees/saves your people from [the guilt of] their sins and to atone for the evil things that they have done. Then [God] will rule everyone justly, and he will do that forever. And [what you saw in] the vision and what [Jeremiah] prophesied will (come true/be fulfilled), and the sacred temple will be dedicated [to God again].
25 यो जान र बुझ, कि यरूशलेमलाई पुनर्स्थापित र पुनर्निर्माण गर्ने आज्ञा दिएपछि, अभिषिक्त जनको (जो अगुवा हुनेछन्) आगमनसम्म त्यहाँ सात सातहरू र बैसठ्ठी सातहरू हुनेछन् । धेरै विपदका समयहरू हुने भए तापनि, सडकहरू र सुरुङहरूसहित यरूशलेमको पुनर्निर्माण हुनेछ ।
You need to know and understand this: There will be 49 years from the time that [the king] commands that Jerusalem should be rebuilt until the leader/king that God has chosen will come. Then 434 years later, Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and it will have streets and will have a (moat/deep ditch filled with water) around it [to protect the city]. But that will be a time when [God’s people] will have [a lot of] troubles/difficulties/suffering.
26 बैसठ्ठी सातहरूपछि, अभिषिक्त जनलाई नाश पारिनेछ र तिनीसँग केही पनि हुनेछैन । आउनेवाला शासकका सेनाले सहर र पवित्र स्थानलाई नाश गर्नेछ । बाढीसँगै त्यसको अन्त्य आउनेछ, र अन्त्यसम्मै युद्ध हुनेछ । सर्वनाश पार्ने आज्ञा दिइएको छ ।
After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed [when it seems that] he will have accomplished nothing (unjustly/without having done anything wrong). After that, the temple will be destroyed by [the army of] a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood [MET] [destroys everything]. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that [God] has decreed [will happen].
27 एउटा सातको निम्ति तिनले धेरै जनासँग करार सदर गर्नेछन् । सातको बिचमा तिनले बलिदान र भेटीलाई समाप्त गर्नेछन् । घृणित कुराहरूको पखेटामा कोही व्यक्ति आउनेछ जसले सर्वनाश गर्नेछ । सर्वनाश गर्ने व्यक्तिलाई पूर्ण रूपमा खत्तम गर्ने र विनाश पार्ने आदेश भएको छ ।”
That ruler will make a strong agreement with many people. He will promise to do for seven years what he has said in that agreement. But when that time is half finished, he will prevent [priests from] giving any more offerings and sacrifices [to God]. A disgusting idol will be put on the highest part of the temple, and it will stay there until [God] gets rid of the one who put it there, which is what he said that he would do.”
