Daniela 6
1 Ni-no’ i Dariavese ty hañoriza’e mpifehe zato-tsy-roapolo amy fifeheañey hanitsifañe i fanjakàñey,
And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;
2 le ambone’ iereo ty mpifeleke telo—raik’ am’ iereo t’i Daniele—vaho mitalily am’ iereo i mpifehe rey, soa tsy ho tsoborèñe i mpanjakay.
and over them three governors, of whom one was Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the king should not be troubled.
3 T’i Daniele toy ty nisoheñe ambone’ ze hene mpifehe naho mpifeleke ty amy arofo tsitantane ama’ey; le sinafiri’ i mpanjakay te hanoe’e ambone’ i fifeheañey iaby.
And Daniel was over them, for [there was] an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom.
4 Aa le pinai’ o mpifelekeo naho o mpifeheo ty hampitsikapy i Daniele am-pitoloña’e amy fifeheañey, fe tsy nahatendreke ty hikiniàñe aze ndra ze lila’e ty amy figahiña’ey, vaho tsy naharendrehan-kila ndra tahiñe.
Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful.
5 Aa le hoe i ondaty rey, le lia’e tsy hahaonin-dilatse amy Daniele tia tika, naho tsy t’ie ho onin-tika amy lilin’ Añahare’ey avao.
And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.
6 Aa le nihitrihitry mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo i mpifehe naho mpifeleke rey nanao ty hoe ama’e: Ry Dariavese mpanjaka, lava havelo.
Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 Songa mitrao-safiry o mpamele-pifeheañeo, o mpizakao, o mpifeheo, o beio, vaho o sefoo te honjoneñe ty tseim-panjakàñe hañatò te ze hihalaly aman-drahare ia’ ia ndra ama’ ondaty, naho tsy ama’o avao ampara’ te modo ty andro telopolo, ry mpanjaka, le havokovoko an-dakaton-diona ao.
All who preside over thy kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statute and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Aa le iantofo i tsey zay henaneo, ry mpanjaka, vaho soniavo o sokitseo tsy hiova, ty amy lili’ i Maday naho i Parase tsy mete mihotikey.
Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed.
9 Le nanonia i sokitsey, hampijadoña’e ho lily, t’i Dariavese.
Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written.
10 Aa ie nifohi’ i Daniele te nisoniaveñe i sokitsey le nizilik’ añ’ anjomba’e ao; toe nisokake mb’e Ierosalaime i lalan-kede am-batsey, le nitongaleke re in-telo boak’andro, niloloke vaho nañandriañe añatrefan’ Añahare’e eo amy t’ie lili’e.
And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before.
11 Aa le nifanontone indaty rey naho naharendreke te niloloke vaho nihalaly aman’ Añahare’e t’i Daniele.
Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God.
12 Niharinea’ iereo amy zao i mpanjakay le nitalily i tseim-panjakañey: Tsy vaho nañatò ty tsey hao ry mpanjaka, te ze hihalaly aman’ Añahare’ iaia ndra ama’ ondaty naho tsy ama’o avao añate’ ty andro telopolo ro havokovoko an-dakaton-diona ao? Hoe ty natoi’ i mpanjakay: To i hoe zay ty amy lili’ o nte-Maday naho nte-Parase tsy mihotikeo.
And they came and said to the king, O king, hast thou not made a decree, that whatsoever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass.
13 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ iareo añatrefa’ i mpanjakay, Tsy mañaoñe azo t’i Daniele, anam-pandrohiza’ o nte-Iehodào, ndra i tsey najado’oy, te mone mihalaly in-telo ami’ty andro.
Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to thy decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.
14 Ie nahajanjiñe i entañe zay i mpanjakay le loho navesatse ama’e naho napite’e amy Daniele ty arofo’e hañaha aze; vaho nifanehak’ ampara’ te tsofots’ andro hañafaha’e.
Then the king, when he heard the saying, was much grieved for Daniel, and he greatly exerted himself for Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver him.
15 Fe niropak’ amy mpanjakay indaty rey, nanao ty hoe amy mpanjakay, Mahafohina, ry mpanjaka, inay ty lili’ Maday naho i Parase te tsy mete ovaeñe ze tsey ndra fañè najado’ i mpanjakay.
Then those men said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that we must not change any decree or statute which the king shall make.
16 Aa le nandily i mpanjakay, le nasese mb’eo t’i Daniele, vaho navokovoko an-dakaton-diona ao. Nanao ty hoe amy Daniele amy zao i mpanjakay: Handrombak’ azo abey t’i Andrianañahare toroñe’o nainai’e.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17 Nendeseñe amy zao ty vato, le nikapefeñe ty vava’ i lakatoy; vaho vinoli-tombo’ i mpanjakay amy bange fitombo’ey naho ami’ty fitombo’ o roandria’eo soa tsy hovaeñe ty amy Daniele.
And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed [it] with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel.
18 Noly añ’ anjomba’e ao i mpanjakay, nandre tsy nikama; le tsy nañendesan-draha, vaho nihànkañe ama’e ty rotse.
And the king departed to his house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they did not molest Daniel.
19 Aa le nañaleñaleñe i mpanjakay nitroatse te nangararak’ atiñana vaho nihitrihitry mb’an-dakato’ o lionao mb’eo.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in haste to the den of lions.
20 Ie nandoak’ amy lakatoy eo, le nikoik’ an-kalonjeram-piarañanañañe amy Daniele, le hoe ty napaza’ i mpanjakay amy Daniele, ry Daniele mpitoron’ Andrianañahare veloñe, naharombak’ azo amo lionao hao t’i Andrianañahare fitoroña’o nainai’e?
And when he drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has thy God, whom thou servest continually, been able to deliver thee from the lion’s mouth?
21 Le hoe t’i Daniele amy mpanjakay, lava ohatse, ry mpanjaka;
And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.
22 Nañirake ty anjeli’e t’i Andrianañahareko; nampitsiteke ty vava’ o lionao tsy hijoy ahy, amy t’ie nalio hakeo añatrefa’e, naho toe tsy nandilatse ama’o iraho ry mpanjaka.
My God has sent his angel, and stopped the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before thee, O king, I have committed no trespass.
23 Nivaranehak’ amy zao i mpanjakay naho linili’e te avotañe amy lakatoy t’i Daniele. Aa le nakareñe an-dakato ao t’i Daniele, vaho tsy nizoem-pere amy t’ie niato aman’ Añahare’e.
Then the king was very glad for him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he believed in his God.
24 Linili’ i mpanjakay te hampiatrefeñe aze o nanisý i Danieleo. Le fonga navokovoko amy lakaton-dionay naho o vali’eo rekets’ o ana’eo. Ie mbe tsy niponak’ an-tane’ i lakatoy iereo le fa niambotraha’ o lionao vaho pinekapekañ’ iaby o taola’eo.
And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones.
25 Nanokitse amo hene ondaty naho fifeheañe vaho fameleke mpimoneñe amy taneio t’i Dariavese Mpanjaka: Ampitomboeñe ama’ areo ty fañanintsiñe.
Then king Darius wrote to all nations, tribes, [and] languages, who dwell in all the earth, [saying], Peace be multiplied to you.
26 Izaho ro mitsey aman’ ndra aia’aia amo fonga fifelehañe am-pifeheakoo: asoao te hinevenevetse am-pañeveñañe añatrefan’ Añahare’ i Daniele ondatio, Ie t’i Andrianañahare veloñe nainai’e le tsim-bia ho rebake i fifehea’ey naho i fifeleha’ey nainai’e donia.
This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that [men] tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living and eternal God, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion is for ever.
27 Mpandrombake re, Mpañaha, naho Mpanao viloñe tsitantane vaho mitoloñe raha mahalatsa andikerañe ao naho an-tane atoy. Ie ty nandrombake i Daniele ami’ty haozara’ o lionao.
He helps and delivers, and works signs and wonders in the heaven and on the earth, who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 Nitahieñe t’i Daniele am-pifeleha’ i Dariavesey naho am-pifehea’ i Korese nte-Parase.
And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
