Daniel 6
1 Darius loh a doe phoeiah tah a ram ah mangpa ya pakul a pai sak tih ram tom ah om uh.
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, who should be over the whole kingdom;
2 Daniel te tah amih taemrhaikung pathum khuikah pakhat la om tih amih kah a soah om. Mangpa la aka om rhoek he a taengah saithainah a paek tih manghai khaw a vaitah om pawh.
And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts to them, and the king should suffer no loss.
3 Te vaengah Daniel tah taemrhaikung rhoek neh mangpa rhoek lakli ah a poekhloep om. He kong ah he a khuiah mueihla lang tih manghai loh anih a ram pum soah pai sak hamla cai.
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Tedae taemrhaikung rhoek neh mangpa la aka om rhoek loh ram soehsalnah te Daniel taengah hmuh hamla a longim a tlap uh. Te cakhaw he kong dongah he anih tah a uepom dongah longim neh a tholh pakhat khaw a hmuh thai moenih. Dalrhanah neh a hong boeih he tah a pum dongah a tueng moenih.
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Te vaengah tah tekah hlang rhoek loh, “Daniel taengah longim boeih he m'hmuh moenih, a Pathen kah oltlueh dongah a om bueng ni a soah m'hmuh dae,” a ti uh.
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
6 Te dongah taemrhaikung rhoek neh mangpa rhoek he manghai taengla khong tih amah te, “Darius manghai kumhal duela hing pai saeh,” a ti nauh.
Then these presidents and princes assembled to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 Ram kah taemrhaikung rhoek neh ukkung, mangpa rhoek, olrhoep rhoek neh boei rhoek tah boeih olrhoep uh tih, “Hnin sawmthum khuiah manghai nang kah voel ah pathen neh hlang khat khat taengah thangthuinah neh aka thangthui boeih tah sathueng buep la voeih ham manghai kah oltloek neh olpaek a tloh la a saii sak.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, 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.
8 Te dongah, “Manghai aw, olpaek mah cak sak lamtah cadaek te daek laeh. Te te Media neh Persia oltlueh bangla thovael ham pawt tih hoilae boel saeh,” a ti uh.
Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 He kong dongah he manghai Darius loh cadaek neh olpaek te a daek.
Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 Cadaek a daek te a ming vaengah Daniel tah amah im la cet. A imhman ah Jerusalem benkah bangbuet te a ong tih hnin at ah voei thum a khuklu dongah cungkueng tih thangthui. Te kong dongah hlamat lamloh a saii pah te a om coeng dongah a Pathen te a uem.
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
11 Te vaengah hlang rhoek tah puei uh tih Daniel loh a Pathen taengah thangthui neh a bih te a hmuh uh.
Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 Te dongah cet uh tih manghai kah olpaek kawng neh manghai te, “Hnin sawmthum khuiah manghai namah voel ah pathen neh hlang khat khat taengah aka thangthui hlang boeih tah sathueng khui la voei saeh tila olpaek na daek moenih a?” a ti nauh. Te dongah manghai loh a doo tih, “Media neh Persia oltlueh bangla ol cak tih te n'hoilae thai moenih,” a ti nah.
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any god or man within thirty days, except of 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 altereth not.
13 Te vaengah a doo uh tih manghai taengah, “Judah hlangsol ca lamkah Daniel tah manghai namah taengkah saithainah neh olpaek na daek te ngai pawt tih a thangthuinah neh hnin at ah voei thum thangthui,” a ti nauh.
Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14 Manghai loh ol a yaak vaengah amah te muep hah tih Daniel te a loeih sak ham a ko om. Khomik a tlak hil anih huul ham thakthae la om.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was much displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the setting of the sun to deliver him.
15 Te vaengah hlang rhoek te manghai taengla puei uh thae tih manghai te, “Manghai aw, Media neh Persia kah oltlueh bangla, manghai kah olpaek neh oltloek a khueh boeih tah thovael thai pawt te ming,” a ti nauh.
Then these men assembled to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
16 Te dongah manghai kah a ti bangla Daniel te a khuen uh tih sathueng buep la a voeih uh. Te vaengah manghai loh avoek tih Daniel te, “Amah na bawk vanbangla na Pathen amah loh nang te dungyan duela n'loeih sak saeh,” a ti nah.
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 servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17 Te phoeiah lungto pakhat a khuen uh tih buep rhai te a tlaeng uh. Te phoeiah tah Daniel kah a hmuethma thovael pawt hamla manghai loh amah kah kutbuen nen khaw a boei rhoek kah kutbuen nen khaw a daeng thil.
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 the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
18 Manghai te amah bawkim la mael dae buhmueh la hak tih a tumbael khaw a taengla khuen pawh. Te dongah a ih khaw anih lamloh a yong pah.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
19 Te dongah manghai te mincang khothaih vaengah ah thoo tih thintawn neh sathueng buep la cet.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 A buep kah Daniel taengla a yoei vaengah tah lungnat ol neh rhap. Manghai loh Daniel te a voek tih, “Mulhing Pathen kah tueihyoeih Daniel, amah te na Pathen pai tih nang loh amah te dungyan la na bawk. Sathueng khui lamloh nang loeih sak ham a noeng a?” a ti nah.
And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel: and the king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
21 Te dongah Daniel loh manghai te, “Manghai tah kumhal la hing pai saeh.
Then said Daniel to the king, O king, live for ever.
22 Ka Pathen loh a puencawn han tueih tih sathueng ka te a buem dongah kai he m'phae moenih. He kong dongah kai he amah taengah ommongsitoe la n'tueng sak tih manghai namah taengah khaw tholh ka saii moenih?” a ti nah.
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
23 Te daengah manghai te a taengah bahoeng a kohoe tih Daniel te buep lamloh doek hamla a thui pah. Daniel te a Pathen soah a uepom dongah a buep lamloh a doek vaengah khaw a pum dongah a hma pakhat khaw a hmuh moenih.
Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was taken out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
24 Te phoeiah manghai kah a thui bangla Daniel tholh aka pael hlang rhoek te a khuen uh tih amih te a yuu a ca rhoek neh sathueng buep la a voeih uh. Tedae buep kah cirhong te a pha uh mueh la amih te sathueng loh a paco uh tih a songrhuh boeih a caep pauh.
And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, 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.
25 Te dongah Darius manghai loh namtu pilnam boeih neh olcom olcae taengah a daek pah. Diklai pum kah khosa, khosa te nangmih kah ngaimongnah pungtai saeh.
Then king Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
26 Kai lamkah saithainah he ka ram kah khohung boeih ah ka paek coeng. Daniel kah a Pathen taengah a thuen, thuen doela om uh saeh lamtah birhih uh saeh. Amah tah mulhing Pathen la om tih kumhal duela cak. A ram khaw tim pawt tih a khohung loh khobawt duela a pha.
I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even to the end.
27 A loeih sak tih a huul. Vaan neh diklai ah miknoek neh khobae rhambae a tueng sak. Amah loh Daniel te sathueng kut lamloh a loeih sak.
He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 Te dongah Daniel he Darius kah ram neh Persian kah Persian Cyrus ram khuiah thaihtak.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
