Daniel 8

1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

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

2 I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.

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

3 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram which had two horns stood before the river. The two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

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 ।

4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward. No animals could stand before him. There wasn’t any who could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

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 ।

5 As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over the surface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

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 ।

6 He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran on him in the fury of his power.

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

7 I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand.

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 ।

8 The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. When he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of the sky.

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 ।

9 Out of one of them came out a little horn which grew exceedingly great—toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

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

10 It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and it cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground and trampled on them.

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

11 Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it took away from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

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

12 The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through disobedience. It cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.

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

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”

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?”

14 He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”

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

15 When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.

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

16 I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”

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

17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”

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 ।”

18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me and set me upright.

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

19 He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

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

20 The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

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

21 The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

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

22 As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms will stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

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

23 “In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding riddles, will stand up.

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

24 His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy awesomely, and will prosper in what he does. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.

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 ।

25 Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hands.

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 ।

26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.”

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

27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business. I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it.

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 ।
