On the Method of Zadig: Essay #1 from "Science and Hebrew Tradition" — Page 4
मैंने घोड़े के बारे में कुछ नहीं देखा, और मैंने इससे पहले उसके बारे में कभी नहीं सुना था,' ज़ादिग ने उत्तर दिया।
I have not seen anything of the horse, and I never heard of him before,' replied Zadig.
मुख्य शिकारी और प्रधान खोजे ने यह निश्चित मान लिया कि ज़ादिग ने राजा का घोड़ा और रानी का स्पैनियल कुत्ता दोनों चुरा लिए हैं, इसलिए वे उसे डेस्टरहम की उच्च न्यायालय के सामने घसीट ले गए, जिसने तुरंत उसे कोड़े की सज़ा और जीवन भर साइबेरिया में निर्वासन की सज़ा सुना दी।
The grand huntsman and the chief eunuch made sure that Zadig had stolen both the King's horse and the Queen's spaniel, so they haled him before the High Court of Desterham, which at once condemned him to the knout, and transportation for life to Siberia.
लेकिन सज़ा का ऐलान होते ही खोया हुआ घोड़ा और स्पैनियल कुत्ता मिल गए।
But the sentence was hardly pronounced when the lost horse and spaniel were found.
इसलिए न्यायाधीशों को अपने फ़ैसले पर पुनर्विचार करने की दर्दनाक ज़रूरत पड़ी, लेकिन उन्होंने ज़ादिग पर चार सौ औंस सोने का जुर्माना लगाया क्योंकि उसने कहा था कि उसने वह देखा जो उसने नहीं देखा था।
So the judges were under the painful necessity of reconsidering their decision: but they fined Zadig four hundred ounces of gold for saying he had seen that which he had not seen.
सबसे पहले जुर्माना चुकाना था; उसके बाद ज़ादिग को न्यायालय में अपना बचाव पेश करने की अनुमति दी गई, जो उसने निम्नलिखित शब्दों में किया:
The first thing was to pay the fine; afterwards Zadig was permitted to open his defence to the court, which he did in the following terms:
'न्याय के सितारो, ज्ञान के अथाह सागरो, सत्य के दर्पणो, जिनका गांभीर्य सीसे जैसा है, जिनकी अटलता लोहे जैसी है, जो हीरे की तरह स्वच्छ हैं, और जिनमें सोने से कम नहीं समानता है; चूँकि मुझे आपकी गरिमामय सभा को संबोधित करने की अनुमति दी गई है, मैं ओरमुज़्द की शपथ लेता हूँ कि मैंने न तो रानी की सम्माननीय कुतिया को देखा और न ही राजाओं के राजा के पवित्र घोड़े को देखा।
'Stars of justice, abysses of knowledge, mirrors of truth, whose gravity is as that of lead, whose inflexibility is as that of iron, who rival the diamond in clearness, and possess no little affinity with gold; since I am permitted to address your august assembly, I swear by Ormuzd that I have never seen the respectable lady dog of the Queen, nor beheld the sacrosanct horse of the King of Kings.
'यह हुआ क्या था। मैं उस छोटे जंगल की ओर टहलने जा रहा था जिसके पास बाद में मुझे उस पूजनीय प्रधान खोजे और अत्यंत विख्यात मुख्य शिकारी से मिलने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ।
'This is what happened. I was taking a walk towards the little wood near which I subsequently had the honour to meet the venerable chief eunuch and the most illustrious grand huntsman.
