Matthew 18
1 সেই সময় যীশুর শিষ্যরা তাঁর কাছে এসে বললেন, ‘প্রভু, স্বর্গরাজ্যের মধ্যে শ্রেষ্ঠ কে?’
2 তখন যীশু একটি শিশুকে ডেকে তাঁদের মধ্যে দাঁড় করিয়ে বললেন,
3 ‘আমি তোমাদের সত্যি বলছি, যতদিন পর্যন্ত না তোমাদের মনের পরিবর্তন ঘটিয়ে এই শিশুদের মতো হবে, ততদিন তোমরা কখনই স্বর্গরাজ্যে প্রবেশ করতে পারবে না৷
4 তাই, য়ে কেউ নিজেকে নত-নম্র করে শিশুর মতো হয়ে ওঠে, সেই স্বর্গরাজ্যের মধ্যে শ্রেষ্ঠ৷
5 ‘আর য়ে কেউ এরকম কোন সামান্য সেবককে আমার নামে গ্রহণ করে, সে আমাকেই গ্রহণ করে৷
6 এই রকম নম্র মানুষদের মধ্যে যাঁরা আমাকে বিশ্বাস করে, তাদের কারও বিশ্বাসে যদি কেউ বিঘ্ন ঘটায়, তবে তার গলায় ভারী একটা য়াঁতা বেঁধে সমুদ্রের অতল জলে তাকে ডুবিয়ে দেওয়াই তার পক্ষে ভাল হবে৷
7 ধিক্ এই জগত সংসার! কারণ এখানে কত রকমেরই না প্রলোভনের জিনিস আছে৷ প্রলোভন জগতে থাকবে ঠিকই, কিন্তু ধিক্ সেই মানুষকে যার দ্বারা তা আসে৷
8 তাই তোমার হাত কিংবা পা যদি তোমার প্রলোভনে পড়ার কারণ স্বরূপ হয়, তবে তা কেটে ফেল৷ দুহাত ও পা নিয়ে নরকের অনন্ত আগুনে পড়ার চেয়ে বরং নূলো বা খোঁড়া হয়ে অনন্ত জীবনে প্রবেশ করা ভাল৷
9 তোমার চোখ যদি তোমাকে প্রলোভনের পথে টেনে নিয়ে যায়, তবে তা উপড়ে ফেলে দিও৷ দুচোখ নিয়ে নরকের আগুনে পড়ার চেয়ে বরং কানা হয়ে অনন্ত জীবনে প্রবেশ করা তোমার পক্ষে ভাল৷
10 ‘দেখো, তোমরা আমার এই নম্র মানুষদের মধ্যে একজনকেও তুচ্ছ করো না,
11 কারণ আমি তোমাদের বলছি য়ে স্বর্গে তাদের স্বর্গদূতেরা সব সময় আমার স্বর্গীয় পিতার মুখের দিকে চেয়ে আছেন৷
12 ‘তোমরা কি মনে কর? যদি কোন লোকের একশোটি ভেড়া থাকে, আর তার মধ্যে যদি একটা ভুল পথে চলে যায় তবে সে কি নিরানব্বইটাকে পাহাড়ের ধারে রেখে দিয়ে সেই হারানো ভেড়াটা খুঁজতে যাবে না?
13 আমি তোমাদের সত্যি বলছি, যখন সে সেইভেড়াটা খুঁজে পায় তখন য়ে নিরানব্বইটা ভুল পথে যায় নি, তাদের চেয়ে য়েটা হারিয়ে গিয়েছিল তাকে ফিরে পেয়ে সে বেশী আনন্দ করে৷
14 ঠিক সেই ভাবে, তোমাদের পিতা যিনি স্বর্গে আছেন, তিনি চান না, য়ে এই ছোট্টদের মধ্যে একজনও হারিয়ে যায়৷
15 ‘তোমার ভাই যদি তোমার বিরুদ্ধে কোন অন্যায় করে, তবে তার কাছে একান্তে গিয়ে তার দোষ দেখিয়ে দাও৷ সে যদি তোমার কথা শোনে, তবে তুমি তাকে আবার তোমার ভাই বলে ফিরে পেলে৷
16 কিন্তু সে যদি তোমার কথা না শোনে, তবে আরো দু-একজনকে সঙ্গে নিয়ে তার কাছে যাও, য়েন ঐ দুজন কিংবা তিনজন সাক্ষীর কথায় প্রত্যেকটা বিষয় সত্য বলে প্রমাণিত হয়৷
17 সে যদি তাদের কথা শুনতে না চায়, তবে মণ্ডলীতে তা জানাও৷ আর সে যদি মণ্ডলীর কথাও শুনতে না চায়, তবে সে তোমার কাছে বিধর্মী ও কর আদায়কারীর মত হোক৷
18 ‘আমি তোমাদের সত্যি বলছি, পৃথিবীতে তোমরা যা বেঁধে রাখবে, স্বর্গেও তা বাঁধা হবে৷ আর পৃথিবীতে তোমরা যা খুলে দেবে স্বর্গেও তা খুলে দেওয়া হবে৷
19 ‘আমি তোমাদের আবার বলছি, পৃথিবীতে তোমাদের মধ্যে দুজন যদি একমত হয়ে কোন বিষয় নিয়ে প্রার্থনা কর, তবে আমার স্বর্গের পিতা তাদের জন্য তা পূরণ করবেন৷
20 একথা সত্য, কারণ আমার অনুসারীদের মধ্যে দুজন কিংবা তিনজন য়েখানে আমার নামে সমবেত হয়, সেখানে তাদের মাঝে আমি আছি৷’
21 তখন পিতর যীশুর কাছে এসে তাঁকে বললেন, ‘প্রভু, আমার ভাই আমার বিরুদ্ধে কতবার অন্যায় করলে আমি তাকে ক্ষমা করব? সাত বার পর্যন্ত করব কি?’
22 যীশু তাঁকে বললেন, ‘আমি তোমাকে বলছি, কেবল সাত বার নয়, কিন্তু সাতকে সত্তর দিয়ে গুণ করলে যতবার হয় ততবার৷’
23 ‘স্বর্গরাজ্য এভাবে তুলনা করা যায়, য়েমন একজন রাজা যিনি তাঁর দাসদের কাছে হিসাব মিটিয়ে দিতে বললেন৷
24 তিনি যখন হিসাব নিতে শুরু করলেন, তখন তাদের মধ্যে একজন লোককে আনা হল য়ে রাজার কাছে দশ হাজার রৌপ্যমুদ্রা ধারত৷
25 কিন্তু তার সেই ঋণ শোধ করার ক্ষমতা ছিল না৷ তখন সেইমনিব রাজা হুকুম করলেন য়েন সেইলোকটাকে তার স্ত্রী ও ছেলেমেয়েকে আর তার যা কিছু আছে সমস্ত বিক্রি করে পাওনা আদায় করা হয়৷
26 ‘তাতে সেইদাস মাটিতে উপুড় হয়ে পড়ে মনিবের পা ধরে বলল, ‘আমার ওপর ধৈর্য্য ধরুন, আমি আপনার সমস্ত ঋণই শোধ করে দেব’
27 সেইকথা শুনে সেই দাসের প্রতি মনিবের অনুকম্পা হল, তিনি তার সব ঋণ মকুব করে দিয়ে তাকে মুক্ত করে দিলেন৷
28 ‘কিন্তু সেইদাস ছাড়া পেয়ে বাইরে গিয়ে তার একজন সহকর্মীর দেখা পেল, য়ে তার কাছে প্রায় একশো মুদ্রা ধারত৷ সেই দাস তখন তার গলাটিপে ধরে বলল, ‘তুই য়ে টাকা ধার করেছিস তা শোধ কর৷’
29 ‘তখন তার সহকর্মী তার সামনে উপুড় হয়ে অনুনয় করে বলল, ‘আমার প্রতি ধৈর্য্য ধর৷ আমি তোমার সব ঋণ শোধ করে দেব৷’
30 কিন্তু সে তাতে রাজী হল না, বরং ঋণ শোধ না করা পর্যন্ত তাকে কারাগারে আটকে রাখল৷
31 তার অন্য সহকর্মীরা এইঘটনা দেখে খুবইদুঃখ পেল, তাই তারা গিয়ে তাদের মনিবের কাছে যা যা ঘটেছে সব জানাল৷
32 ‘তখন সেই মনিব তাকে ডেকে বললেন, ‘তুমি দুষ্ট দাস! তুমি আমায় অনুরোধ করলে আর আমি তোমার সব ঋণ মকুব করে দিলাম৷
33 আমি য়েমন তোমার প্রতি দয়া দেখিয়েছিলাম তেমনি তোমার সহকর্মীর প্রতিও কি তোমার দয়া করা উচিত ছিল না?’
34 তখন তার মনিব ক্রুদ্ধ হয়ে সমস্ত ঋণ শোধ না করা পর্যন্ত তাকে শাস্তি দিতে কারাগারে দিয়ে দিলেন৷
35 ‘তোমরা প্রত্যেকে যদি তোমাদের ভাইকে অন্তর দিয়ে ক্ষমা না কর, তবে আমার স্বর্গের পিতাও তোমাদের প্রতি ঠিক ঐভাবে ব্যবহার করবেন৷’
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Daniel 2 in Tamil and English
1 నెబుకద్నెజరు తన యేలుబడియందు రెండవ సంవత్సర మున కలలు కనెను. అందునుగురించి ఆయన మనస్సు కలతపడగా ఆయనకు నిద్రపట్టకుండెను.
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
2 కాగా రాజు తాను కనిన కలలను తనకు తెలియజెప్పుటకై శకునగాండ్రను గారడీవిద్యగలవారిని మాంత్రికులను కల్దీయులను పిలువ నంపుడని యాజ్ఞ ఇయ్యగా వారు వచ్చి రాజు సముఖ మున నిలచిరి.
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
3 రాజు వారితో నేనొక కల కంటిని, ఆ కల భావము తెలిసికొనవలె నని నేను మనోవ్యాకుల మొంది యున్నాననగా
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
4 కల్దీయులు సిరియాబాషతో ఇట్లనిరిరాజు చిరకాలము జీవించునుగాక. తమరి దాసులకు కల సెలవియ్యుడి; మేము దాని భావమును తెలియజేసెదము.
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
5 రాజునేను దాని మరచి పోతిని గాని, కలను దాని భావమును మీరు తెలియజేయనియెడల మీరు తుత్తునియ లుగా చేయబడుదురు; మీ యిండ్లు పెంటకుప్పగా చేయ బడును.
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
6 కలను దాని భావమును తెలియజేసినయెడల దానములును బహుమానములును మహా ఘనతయు నా సముఖములో నొందుదురు గనుక కలను దాని భావమును తెలియజేయుడనగా వారు
But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
7 రాజు ఆ కలను తమరి దాసులమైన మాకు చెప్పినయెడల మేము దాని భావమును
They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.
8 తెలియజేసెదమని మరల ప్రత్యుత్తరమిచ్చిరి.ఒ అందుకు రాజు ఉత్తరమిచ్చి చెప్పినది ఏమనగా నేను మరచి యుండుట మీరు చూచి కాలహరణము చేయవలెనని మీరు కనిపెట్టుచున్నట్లు నేను బాగుగా గ్రహించుచున్నాను.
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
9 కాలము ఉపాయముగా గడపవలెనని అబద్ధ మును మోసపుమాటలను నాయెదుట పలుక నుద్దేశించి యున్నారు. మీరు కలను చెప్పలేకపోయిన యెడల నేను చెప్పిన మాట ఖండితము గనుక కలను నాకు చెప్పుడి అప్పుడు దాని భావమును తెలియజేయుటకు మీకు సామర్థ్యము కలదని నేను తెలిసికొందును.
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
10 అందుకు కల్దీయులు ఈలాగు ప్రత్యుత్తరమిచ్చిరిభూమిమీద ఏ మనుష్యుడును రాజు అడిగిన సంగతి చెప్పజాలడు, ఏ చక్రవర్తియు అధికారియు శకునగానియొద్దను గారడీవిద్య గలవానియొద్దను కల్దీయునియొద్దను ఇట్టి సంగతి విచారింప లేదు.
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 రాజు విచారించిన సంగతి బహు అసాధారణ మైనది, దేవతలుకాక మరెవరును ఈ సంగతి తెలియజెప్ప జాలరు; దేవతల నివాసములు శరీరుల మధ్య ఉండవుగదా.
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
12 అందుకు రాజు కోపము తెచ్చుకొని అత్యాగ్రహము గల వాడై బబులోనులోని జ్ఞానులనందరిని సంహరింపవలెనని యాజ్ఞ ఇచ్చెను.
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
13 ఇట్టి శాసనము బయలుదేరుటవలన జ్ఞానులు చంపబడవలసియుండగా, వారు దానియేలును ఆతని స్నేహి తులను చంపజూచిరి.
And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
14 అప్పుడు దానియేలు బబులోనులోని జ్ఞానులను చంపుటకై బయలుదేరిన రాజ దేహసంరక్షకుల యధిపతియగు అర్యోకుదగ్గరకు పోయి, జ్ఞానయుక్తముగా మనవిచేసెను
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15 రాజు నొద్దనుండి ఈ యాజ్ఞ యింత త్వరితముగా వచ్చుట ఏమని దానియేలు రాజుయొక్క అధిపతియైన అర్యోకు నడుగగా అర్యోకు ఆ సంగతి దానియేలునకు తెలియజెప్పెను.
He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16 అప్పుడు దానియేలు రాజసన్నిధికి పోయి స్వప్న భావమును తెలియ జెప్పుటకై తనకు సమయము దయచేయుమని రాజును బతి మాలెను.
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
17 అప్పుడు దానియేలు తన యింటికి పోయి తన స్నేహితు లైన హనన్యాకును మిషాయేలునకును అజర్యాకును సంగతి తెలియజేసి
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 తానును తన స్నేహితులును బబులోనులో తక్కిన జ్ఞానులతో కూడ నశింపకుండునట్లు ఆ కలయొక్క మర్మవిషయములో పరలోకమందున్న దేవుని వలన కటాక్షము పొందు నిమిత్తమై ఆయనను వేడుకొనుడని వారిని హెచ్చరించెను.
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 అంతట రాత్రియందు దర్శనముచేత ఆ మర్మము దానియేలునకు బయలుపరచబడెను గనుక దాని యేలు పరలోకమందున్న దేవుని స్తుతించెను.
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 ఎట్లనగా దేవుడు జ్ఞానబలములు కలవాడు, యుగములన్నిటను దేవుని నామము స్తుతినొందునుగాక.
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 ఆయన కాలములను సమయ ములను మార్చువాడైయుండి, రాజులను త్రోసివేయుచు నియమించుచు ఉన్నవాడును, వివేకులకు వివేకమును జ్ఞానులకు జ్ఞానమును అనుగ్రహించువాడునైయున్నాడు.
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 ఆయన మరుగుమాటలను మర్మములను బయలుపరచును, అంధకారములోని సంగతులు ఆయనకు తెలియును; వెలుగుయొక్క నివాసస్థలము ఆయనయొద్దనున్నది.
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
23 మా పితరుల దేవా, నీవు వివేకమును బలమును నాకనుగ్రహించి యున్నావు; మేమడిగిన యీ సంగతి ఇప్పుడు నాకు తెలియజేసియున్నావు గనుక నేను నిన్ను స్తుతించుచు ఘనపరచుచున్నాను; ఏలయనగా రాజుయొక్క సంగతి నీవే మాకు తెలియజేసితివని దానియేలు మరల చెప్పెను.
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.
24 ఇట్లుండగా దానియేలు బబులోనులోని జ్ఞానులను నశింప జేయుటకు రాజు నియమించిన అర్యోకునొద్దకు వెళ్లిబబులోనులోని జ్ఞానులను నశింపజేయవద్దు, నన్ను రాజు సముఖమునకు తోడుకొని పొమ్ము, నేను ఆ కల భావమును రాజునకు తెలియజేసెదననెను.
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
25 కావున అర్యోకురాజునకు భావము తెలియజెప్పగల యొక మనుష్యుని చెరపట్టబడిన యూదులలో నేను కను గొంటినని రాజుసముఖమున మనవిచేసి, దానియేలును త్వరగా రాజుసన్నిధికి తోడుకొనిపోయెను.
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
26 రాజునేను చూచిన కలయు దాని భావమును తెలియజెప్పుట నీకు శక్యమా? అని బెల్తెషాజరు అను దానియేలును అడుగగా
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
27 దానియేలు రాజుసముఖములో ఈలాగు ప్రత్యుత్తర మిచ్చెనురాజడిగిన యీ మర్మము జ్ఞానులైనను గారడీవిద్య గలవారైనను శకున గాండ్రయినను, జ్యోతిష్కులైనను తెలియజెప్పజాలరు.
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
28 అయితే మర్మములను బయలుపరచ గల దేవుడొకడు పరలోకమందున్నాడు, అంత్యదినముల యందు కలుగబోవుదానిని ఆయన రాజగు నెబుకద్నెజరు నకు తెలియజేసెను. తాము పడకమీద పరుండగా తమరి మనస్సులో కలిగిన స్వప్నదర్శనములు ఏవనగా
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29 రాజా, ప్రస్తుతకాలము గడచిన పిమ్మట ఏమి జరుగునో అనుకొని తాము పడకమీద పరుండి మనో చింతగలవారై యుండగా మర్మములను బయలు పరచువాడు కలుగబోవుదానిని తమరికి తెలియజేసెను.
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
30 ఇతర మనుష్యులకందరికంటె నాకు విశేష జ్ఞానముండుటవలన ఈ మర్మము నాకు బయలుపరచ బడలేదు. రాజునకు దాని భావమును తెలియజేయు నిమిత్తమును, తమరి మనస్సుయొక్క ఆలోచనలు తాము తెలిసికొను నిమిత్తమును అది బయలుపరచబడెను.
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
31 రాజా, తాము చూచుచుండగా బ్రహ్మాండమగు ఒక ప్రతిమకన బడెను గదా. ఈ గొప్ప ప్రతిమ మహా ప్రకాశమును, భయంకరమునైన రూపమును గలదై తమరియెదుట నిలిచెను.
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 ఆ ప్రతిమయొక్క శిరస్సు మేలిమి బంగారుమయ మైనదియు,దాని రొమ్మును భుజములును వెండివియు, దాని ఉదరమును తొడలును ఇత్తడివియు,
This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 దాని మోకాళ్లు ఇనుపవియు, దాని పాదములలో ఒక భాగము ఇనుపదియు ఒక భాగము మట్టిదియునైయుండెను.
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 మరియు చేతిసహా యము లేక తీయబడిన ఒక రాయి, యినుమును మట్టియు కలిసిన ఆ ప్రతిమయొక్క పాదములమీద పడి దాని పాదములను తుత్తునియలుగా విరుగగొట్టినట్టు తమకు కన బడెను.
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 అంతట ఇనుమును మట్టియు ఇత్తడియు వెండియు బంగారమును ఏకముగా దంచబడి కళ్లములోని చెత్తవలె కాగా వాటికి స్థలము ఎచ్చటను దొరకకుండ గాలి వాటిని కొట్టుకొనిపోయెను; ప్రతిమను విరుగగొట్టిన ఆ రాయి సర్వభూతలమంత మహా పర్వతమాయెను.
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
36 తాము కనిన కలయిదే, దాని భావము రాజుసముఖమున మేము తెలియ జెప్పెదము.
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 రాజా, పరలోక మందున్న దేవుడు రాజ్య మును అధికారమును బలమును ఘనతయు తమరికి అనుగ్ర హించి యున్నాడు; తమరు రాజులకు రాజైయున్నారు.
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 ఆయన మనుష్యులు నివసించు ప్రతిస్థలమందును, మను ష్యులనేమి భూజంతువులనేమి ఆకాశపక్షులనేమి అన్ని టిని ఆయన తమరి చేతి కప్పగించియున్నాడు, వారందరి మీద తమరికి ప్రభుత్వము ననుగ్రహించి యున్నాడు; తామే ఆ బంగారపు శిరస్సు
And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 తాము చనిపోయిన తరు వాత తమరి రాజ్యముకంటె తక్కువైన రాజ్యమొకటి లేచును. అటుతరువాత లోకమంత యేలునట్టి మూడవ రాజ్యమొకటి లేచును. అది యిత్తడి వంటిదగును.
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 పిమ్మట నాలుగవ రాజ్యమొకటి లేచును. అది ఇనుము వలె బలముగా ఉండును. ఇనుము సమస్తమైనవాటిని దంచి విరుగగొట్టునది గదా; ఇనుము పగులగొట్టునట్లు అది రాజ్యములన్నిటిని పగులగొట్టి పొడిచేయును.
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 పాద ములును వ్రేళ్లును కొంతమట్టునకు కుమ్మరి మట్టిదిగాను కొంతమట్టునకు ఇనుపది గానున్నట్టు తమరికి కనబడెను గనుక ఆ రాజ్యములో భేదములుండును. అయితే ఇనుము బురదతో కలిసియున్నట్టు కనబడెను గనుక ఆ రాజ్య ములో ఆలాగుననుండును, ఆ రాజ్యము ఇనుమువంటి బలముగలదై యుండును.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 పాదముల వ్రేళ్లు కొంతమట్టు నకు ఇనుపవిగాను కొంతమట్టునకు మట్టివిగాను ఉన్నట్లు ఆ రాజ్యము ఒక విషయములో బలముగాను ఒక విషయ ములో నీరసముగాను ఉండును.
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 ఇనుమును బురదయు మిళితమై యుండుట తమరికి కనబడెను; అటువలె మనుష్య జాతులు మిళితములై యినుము మట్టితో అతకనట్లు వారు ఒకరితో ఒకరు పొసగకయుందురు.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 ఆ రాజుల కాల ములలో పరలోకమందున్న దేవుడు ఒక రాజ్యము స్థాపిం చును. దానికెన్నటికిని నాశనము కలుగదు, ఆ రాజ్యము దాని పొందినవారికి గాక మరెవరికిని చెందదు; అది ముందు చెప్పిన రాజ్యములన్నిటిని పగులగొట్టి నిర్మూలము చేయును గాని అది యుగములవరకు నిలుచును.
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 చేతి సహాయము లేక పర్వతమునుండి తియ్యబడిన ఆ రాయి యినుమును ఇత్తడిని మట్టిని వెండిని బంగారమును పగులగొట్టగా తమరు చూచితిరే; యిందువలన మహా దేవుడు ముందు జరుగ బోవు సంగతి రాజునకు తెలియజేసియున్నాడు; కల నిశ్చయము, దాని భావము నమ్మదగినది అని దానియేలు రాజుతో చెప్పెను.
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
46 అంతట రాజగు నెబుకద్నెజరు దానియేలునకు సాష్ఠాంగనమస్కారము చేసి అతని పూజించి, నైవేద్య ధూపములు అతనికి సమర్పింప ఆజ్ఞాపించెను.
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
47 మరియు రాజుఈ మర్మమును బయలు పరచుటకు నీవు సమర్థుడవైతివే; నీ దేవుడు దేవతలకు దేవుడును రాజులకు ప్రభువును మర్మములు బయలుపరచు వాడునై యున్నాడని దానియేలునకు ప్రత్యుత్తర మిచ్చెను.
The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
48 అప్పుడు రాజు దానియేలును బహుగా హెచ్చించి, అనేక గొప్ప దానములిచ్చి, అతనిని బబు లోను సంస్థానమంతటిమీద అధిపతినిగాను బబులోను జ్ఞానులందరిలో ప్రధానునిగాను నియమించెను.
Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 అంతట దానియేలు రాజునొద్ద మనవి చేసికొనగా రాజు షద్రకు మేషాకు అబేద్నెగోయను వారిని బబులోను సంస్థానము మీద విచారణకర్తలనుగా నియమించెను; అయితే దాని యేలు రాజుసన్నిధిని ఉండెను.
Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
