دانيال 6
| وَارْتَأَى دَارِيُّوسُ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ حَاكِماً يُشْرِفُونَ عَلَى أَقَالِيمِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ كُلِّهَا، | ١ 1 |
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom,
| وَنَصَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَلاثَةَ وُزَرَاءَ أَحَدَهُمْ دَانِيَالُ، يُقَدِّمُونَ لَهُمْ حِسَاباً بِمَدْخُولِ خَزِينَةِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ، فَلا يَتَعَرَّضُ الْمَلِكُ لِخَسَارَةٍ. | ٢ 2 |
and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king should have no damage.
| فَأَبْدَى دَانِيَالُ تَفَوُّقاً مَلْحُوظاً عَلَى سَائِرِ الْوُزَرَاءِ وَالْحُكَّامِ، بِمَا يَتَمَيَّزُ بِهِ مِنْ رُوحٍ مَاهِرةٍ. وَنَوَى الْمَلِكُ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَهُ شُؤُونَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ كُلِّهَا. | ٣ 3 |
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
| فَشَرَعَ الْوُزَرَاءُ وَالْحُكَّامُ يَلْتَمِسُونَ عَلَيْهِ عِلَّةً اقْتَرَفَهَا بِحَقِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فَأَخْفَقُوا، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَمِيناً لَمْ يَرْتَكِبْ خَطَأً وَلا ذَنْباً. | ٤ 4 |
Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no occasion nor fault, inasmuch as he was faithful, nor was there any error or fault found in him.
| فَقَالَ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ: «لا نَجِدُ ذَنْباً نَتَّهِمُ بِهِ دَانِيَالَ إِلّا إِذَا وَجَدْنَا عِلَّةً مِنْ نَحْوِ شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِهِ». | ٥ 5 |
Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ اجْتَمَعَ هَؤُلاءِ الْوُزَرَاءُ وَالْحُكَّامُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ قَائِلِينَ: «لِتَعِشْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٦ 6 |
Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus to him: King Darius, live forever.
| إِنَّ جَمِيعَ وُزَرَاءِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ وَقَادَةِ الْحَرَسِ وَالْحُكَّامِ وَالْمُشِيرِينَ وَالْوُلاةِ قَدْ تَدَاوَلُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ عَلَى إِصْدَارِ أَمْرٍ مَلَكِيٍّ صَارِمٍ يُعْلَنُ فِيهِ: أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ طِلْبَةً إِلَى إِلَهٍ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ سِوَاكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ، لِمُدَّةِ ثَلاثِينَ يَوْماً، يُطْرَحُ فِي جُبِّ الأُسُودِ. | ٧ 7 |
All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
| فَوَقِّعِ الآنَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ وَاخْتِمْهُ لِكَيْ لَا يَطْرَأَ عَلَيْهِ تَغْيِيرٌ، فَيَكُونَ كَشَرِيعَةِ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ الَّتِي لَا تُنْسَخُ». | ٨ 8 |
Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.
| وَهَكَذَا وَقَّعَ الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ الْوَثِيقَةَ وَالأَمْرَ. | ٩ 9 |
Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.
| فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ دَانِيَالَ أَمْرُ تَوْقِيعِ الْوَثِيقَةِ مَضَى إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى عُلِّيَّتِهِ ذَاتِ الْكُوَى الْمَفْتُوحَةِ بِاتِّجَاهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَصَلَّى، وَحَمَدَ إِلَهَهُ كَمَأْلُوفِ عَادَتِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ. | ١٠ 10 |
And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he knelt upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did formerly.
| فَتَجَمَّعَ الْمُتَآمِرُونَ، وَوَجَدُوا دَانِيَالَ يَبْتَهِلُ وَيَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَى إِلَهِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
| فَمَثَلُوا فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ وَتَبَاحَثُوا فِي أَمْرِهِ الَّذِي صَدَرَ، وَقَالُوا: «أَلَمْ تُوَقِّعْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَمْراً يَحْظُرُ عَلَى كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ رَفْعَ طَلَبٍ إِلَى إِلَهٍ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ سِوَاكَ مُدَّةَ ثَلاثِينَ يَوْماً، وَمَنْ يُخَالِفُ ذَلِكَ يُطْرَحُ فِي جُبِّ الأُسُودِ؟» فَأَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ: «الأَمْرُ صَحِيحٌ كَشَرِيعَةِ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ الَّتِي لَا تُنْسَخُ». | ١٢ 12 |
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's interdict. Have thou not signed an interdict, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.
| حِينَئِذٍ قَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «إِنَّ دَانِيَالَ أَحَدَ مَسْبِيِّي يَهُوذَا قَدِ اسْتَهَانَ بِكَ، وَلَمْ يَأْخُذِ الأَمْرَ الَّذِي وَقَّعْتَهُ بِعَيْنِ الاعْتِبَارِ، بَلْ هَا هُوَ يَرْفَعُ طِلْبَاتِهِ لإِلَهِهِ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the sons of the captivity of Judah, does not regard thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ هَذَا الْكَلامَ تَوَلَّاهُ غَمٌّ شَدِيدٌ وَوَطَّنَ النَّفْسَ عَلَى إِنْقَاذِ دَانِيَالَ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُجْدِهِ جُهُودُهُ الَّتِي بَذَلَهَا حَتَّى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فِي تَخْلِيصِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him. And he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.
| ثُمَّ تَجَمَّعَ الْمُتَآمِرُونَ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ لِلْمَرَّةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «اعْلَمْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَنَّ شَرِيعَةَ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ تَنُصُّ عَلَى أَنَّ كُلَّ نَهْيٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ يُوَقِّعُهُ الْمَلِكُ لَا يَتَغَيَّرُ». | ١٥ 15 |
Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.
| عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ فَأَحْضَرُوا دَانِيَالَ وَطَرَحُوهُ فِي جُبِّ الأُسُودِ. وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِدَانِيَالَ: «إِنَّ إِلَهَكَ الَّذِي تَعْبُدُهُ دَائِماً هُوَ يُنْقِذُكَ». | ١٦ 16 |
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou serve continually, he will deliver thee.
| وَأُتِيَ بِحَجَرٍ سَدُّوا بِهِ فَمَ الْجُبِّ، وَخَتَمَهُ الْمَلِكُ بِخَاتِمِهِ وَأَخْتَامِ نُبَلاءِ دَوْلَتِهِ، لِئَلّا يَطْرَأَ تَغْيِيرٌ عَلَى مَصِيرِ دَانِيَالَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den. And the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
| وَانْطَلَقَ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ وَبَاتَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ صَائِماً سَاهِراً، وَامْتَنَعَ عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ مَحْظِيَّاتِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting, nor were instruments of music brought before him. And his sleep fled from him.
| وَعِنْدَ الْفَجْرِ بَاكِراً نَهَضَ الْمَلِكُ وَمَضَى مُسْرِعاً إِلَى جُبِّ الأُسُودِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
| فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ نَادَى دَانِيَالَ بِصَوْتٍ حَزِينٍ قَائِلاً: «يَا دَانِيَالُ، عَبْدَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ، هَلْ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي تَعْبُدُهُ دَائِماً اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يُنَجِّيَكَ مِنَ الأُسُودِ؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
And when he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou serve continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
| فَأَجَابَ دَانِيَالُ: «لِتَعِشْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever.
| قَدْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَهِي مَلاكَهُ فَسَدَّ أَفْوَاهَ الأُسُودِ فَلَمْ تُؤْذِنِي، لأَنِّي وُجِدْتُ بَرِيئاً أَمَامَهُ، وَلَمْ أَرْتَكِبْ سُوءاً أَمَامَكَ أَيْضاً أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ». | ٢٢ 22 |
My God has sent his agent, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me, inasmuch as before him innocence was found in me. And also before thee, O king, I have done no harm.
| حِينَئِذٍ فَرِحَ الْمَلِكُ جِدّاً وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُخْرَجَ دَانِيَالُ مِنَ الْجُبِّ، فَأَصْعَدُوهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ نَالَهُ أَيُّ أَذىً، لأَنَّهُ آمَنَ بِإِلَهِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of harm was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.
| ثُمَّ أَصْدَرَ الْمَلِكُ أَمْرَهُ فَأَحْضَرُوا الْمُتَآمِرِينَ الَّذِينَ اتَّهَمُوا دَانِيَالَ وَطَرَحُوهُمْ فِي جُبِّ الأُسُودِ، مَعَ أَوْلادِهِمْ وَنِسَائِهِمْ. وَمَا كَادُوا يَصِلُونَ إِلَى أَسْفَلِ الْجُبِّ حَتَّى بَطَشَتْ بِهِمِ الأُسُودُ وَهَشَّمَتْ عِظَامَهُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their sons, and their wives. And the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
| ثُمَّ بَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ إِلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ وَالأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ لِسَانٍ مِنَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي مَمْلَكَتِهِ بِرَسَائِلَ قَائِلاً: «لِيَكْثُرْ سَلامُكُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
| قَدْ صَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ أَنْ يَرْتَعِدَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُقِيمُ فِي تُخُومِ مَمْلَكَتِي وَيَخَافَ أَمَامَ إِلَهِ دَانِيَالَ، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ الإِلَهُ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لَا يَزُولُ لَهُ مَلَكُوتٌ وَسُلْطَانُهُ إِلَى الْمُنْتَهَى. | ٢٦ 26 |
I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. And his kingdom is that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end.
| هُوَ يُنَجيِّ وَيُنْقِذُ وَيُجْرِي الآيَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَّصَ دَانِيَالَ مِنْ أَنْيَابِ الأُسُودِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
| وَحَالَفَ النَّجَاحُ دَانِيَالَ فِي مُلْكِ دَارِيُّوسَ وَفِي عَهْدِ حُكْمِ كُورَشَ الْفَارِسِيِّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
