< دانيال 6 >

وَارْتَأَى دَارِيُّوسُ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ حَاكِماً يُشْرِفُونَ عَلَى أَقَالِيمِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ كُلِّهَا، ١ 1
And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;
وَنَصَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَلاثَةَ وُزَرَاءَ أَحَدَهُمْ دَانِيَالُ، يُقَدِّمُونَ لَهُمْ حِسَاباً بِمَدْخُولِ خَزِينَةِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ، فَلا يَتَعَرَّضُ الْمَلِكُ لِخَسَارَةٍ. ٢ 2
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.
فَأَبْدَى دَانِيَالُ تَفَوُّقاً مَلْحُوظاً عَلَى سَائِرِ الْوُزَرَاءِ وَالْحُكَّامِ، بِمَا يَتَمَيَّزُ بِهِ مِنْ رُوحٍ مَاهِرةٍ. وَنَوَى الْمَلِكُ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَهُ شُؤُونَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ كُلِّهَا. ٣ 3
And Daniel was over them, for [there was] an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom.
فَشَرَعَ الْوُزَرَاءُ وَالْحُكَّامُ يَلْتَمِسُونَ عَلَيْهِ عِلَّةً اقْتَرَفَهَا بِحَقِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فَأَخْفَقُوا، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَمِيناً لَمْ يَرْتَكِبْ خَطَأً وَلا ذَنْباً. ٤ 4
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.
فَقَالَ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ: «لا نَجِدُ ذَنْباً نَتَّهِمُ بِهِ دَانِيَالَ إِلّا إِذَا وَجَدْنَا عِلَّةً مِنْ نَحْوِ شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِهِ». ٥ 5
And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.
عِنْدَئِذٍ اجْتَمَعَ هَؤُلاءِ الْوُزَرَاءُ وَالْحُكَّامُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ قَائِلِينَ: «لِتَعِشْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ٦ 6
Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.
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 who preside over your kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of you, O king, 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 then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed.
وَهَكَذَا وَقَّعَ الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ الْوَثِيقَةَ وَالأَمْرَ. ٩ 9
Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written.
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 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.
فَتَجَمَّعَ الْمُتَآمِرُونَ، وَوَجَدُوا دَانِيَالَ يَبْتَهِلُ وَيَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَى إِلَهِهِ. ١١ 11
Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to 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
And they came and said to the king, O king, has you not made a decree, that whatever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of you, 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.
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, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to your decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.
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 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.
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 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 of statue which the king shall make.
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. But the king said to Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.
وَأُتِيَ بِحَجَرٍ سَدُّوا بِهِ فَمَ الْجُبِّ، وَخَتَمَهُ الْمَلِكُ بِخَاتِمِهِ وَأَخْتَامِ نُبَلاءِ دَوْلَتِهِ، لِئَلّا يَطْرَأَ تَغْيِيرٌ عَلَى مَصِيرِ دَانِيَالَ. ١٧ 17
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.
وَانْطَلَقَ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ وَبَاتَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ صَائِماً سَاهِراً، وَامْتَنَعَ عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ مَحْظِيَّاتِهِ. ١٨ 18
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 not molest Daniel.
وَعِنْدَ الْفَجْرِ بَاكِراً نَهَضَ الْمَلِكُ وَمَضَى مُسْرِعاً إِلَى جُبِّ الأُسُودِ. ١٩ 19
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in have 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 drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lion's mouth?
فَأَجَابَ دَانِيَالُ: «لِتَعِشْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ٢١ 21
And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.
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 angel, and stopped the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before you, O king, I have committed no trespass.
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 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.
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 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.
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 nations, tribes, [and] languages, who dwell in all the earth, [saying], 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
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.
هُوَ يُنَجيِّ وَيُنْقِذُ وَيُجْرِي الآيَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَّصَ دَانِيَالَ مِنْ أَنْيَابِ الأُسُودِ». ٢٧ 27
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.
وَحَالَفَ النَّجَاحُ دَانِيَالَ فِي مُلْكِ دَارِيُّوسَ وَفِي عَهْدِ حُكْمِ كُورَشَ الْفَارِسِيِّ. ٢٨ 28
And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
