Daniel 6
1 Darius kiti Mede mipa chun, a lenggam pumpi chu gamkai ja le somni soding adeiyin, hitichun ahomkhen tai. Chuleh hiche gamkai ho’a vaipo ding in gamkai khat’a mikhat cheh apansah tai.
It pleased Darius, and so he appointed over the kingdom one hundred twenty governors, to be placed throughout his whole kingdom.
2 Gamkai vaipo ho jouse chung’a avesui ding leh vaihom pipu dingin, lengpan Daniel leh midang mini jong apansah tan ahi. Amaho cheng hin lengpa lungdei aboluva, gamkai vaipo ho toh je ahil ding’u chuleh lenggam aventup ding’u ahi.
And over these, three leaders, of whom Daniel was one, so that the governors would be accountable to them and the king would have no trouble.
3 Chomlou kah in, vaihom pipu mini leh gamkai vaipo ho sangin, Daniel chu natoh thilbol athemjo tan, chuleh imalam jousea ahung minthang tan ahi. Daniel chung’a Pathen lhagao achen jing jeh chun midang ho sang in natoh thilbol thepna aneiyin, hijeh chun lengpan, alenggam vaipi po’a vetup ding in Daniel chu agong tan ahi.
And so Daniel excelled above all the leaders and governors, because a greater spirit of God was in him.
4 Chuphat in, vaihom pipu mini toh gamvaipo ho chun, gamsung kivaihomna dol’a Daniel bolkhel themmo chansah nading aholuvin, ahivang in amudoh jou pouvin ahi. Ajeh chu, Daniel chu kitah tah leh thudihtah’a thilbol ahin, chuleh amopohna-a son umtah leh Pathen ging’a natong ahi.
Furthermore, the king considered setting him over the entire kingdom; whereupon the leaders and the governors sought to find a complaint against Daniel and in favor of the king. And they could find no case, or even suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault or suspicion was found in him.
5 Chuin amaho akihouvun, “Daniel themmo chansah nading chu, ama Pathen houna thudol tilouvin, thildang ima eihon ibol thei ding’u aum poi.’’ ati tauve.
Therefore, these men said, “We will not find any complaint against this Daniel, unless it is against the law of his God.”
6 Hijeh chun, vaihom pipu mini toh gamkai vaipo hochu, lengpa kom’a acheuvin, ajah a: Lengpa Darius Hingsot in!
Then the leaders and governors took the king aside privately and spoke to him in this way: “King Darius, live forever.
7 Na lenggam sung’a vaihom pipuho, vaihom thuneiho, gamkai vaipo ho, thumop’a pang ho, chuleh miching mithem ho cheng in, kihou lhuhna khat kaneijun: Vo lengpa, nangman dankhat na phudoh ding, amitakip in khoutah’a juicheh ding katiuve. Hichu, ni somthum sung’a mihem kom hihen chuleh pathen houna hijong leh, koiman nangkom tilouva taona leh thumna anei theilou ding, hiche hi ajuilou leh apalkeh aum leh sakei bahkai kulsung’a selut ding, tin thupeh bolin.
All the leaders of your kingdom, the magistrates and governors, the senators and judges, have taken counsel that an imperial decree and edict should be published, so that all who ask any petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, will be cast into the den of lions.
8 Chuleh vo lengpa, tun hiche dan kisem chu khellou dingin khut henna bolkhumin, chuleh phongdoh in, hichu Mede mite leh Persia mite danthu dungjuiya avel’a kiladoh kitlou ding ahitai,’’ atiuve.
Now, therefore, O king, confirm this judgment and write the decree, so that what is established by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor will any man be allowed to transgress it.”
9 Hijeh chun Darius lengpan, hiche dan kisem chu khut-hen abol khum tai.
And so king Darius set forth the decree and established it.
10 Chuin lengpan dan kisem chu khut-hen abolkhum taiti Daniel in ahetdoh phat chun, a-in lam’ah achen, a-indan chungnung’a alut in, Jerusalem lang ngan bangkot ahong in, abol jing bang chun adilsun atao tai. Aman aphat seh’a abolji bang chun, nikhat sungin a Pathen heng’a thangvahna thumvei anei jing in ahi.
Now when Daniel learned of this, namely, that the law had been established, he entered his house, and, opening the windows in his upper room towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and he adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do previously.
11 Hichun miphalou vaipo ho chu Daniel chenna in-ah chun acheuvin ahileh, Daniel chu, a Pathen heng’a taona aneipet agamu tauvin ahi.
Therefore, these men, inquiring diligently, discovered that Daniel was praying and making supplication to his God.
12 Chutah chun amaho jong lengpa kom ajonpaiyun, dan kisem chung chang thu aseijun, Daniel hehnan aneiyun, lengpa jah’a, “Vo lengpa, ni somthum sung’a nangkom tilouva, mihem hihen chuleh Pathen houna hijong leh, koiman taona anei theilou ding, hiche hi ajuilou leh apalkeh aumleh, sakei bahkai kulsung’a selut ding tia dan kisem chu, nangma tah in khut-henna na bolkhum hitalou ham?” atiuve. Lengpan adonbut in, “Hiche dan kiphutdoh hi, Mede mite leh Persia mite danthua umjing ding, kiladoh lou ding ahitai,’’ ati.
And they approached and spoke to the king about the edict. “O king, did you not decree that every man who makes a request to any of the gods or men for thirty days, except to yourself, O king, would be cast into the den of lions?” To which the king replied, saying, “The sentence is true, and according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, it is not lawful to violate it.”
13 Hichun amahon jong lengpa chu adonbut’un, “Vo lengpa, Judah gam’a kon sohchang’a hung kikai holah’a, Daniel kitipa chun na thupeh adonse pon chuleh nakhut- hennasa dan kisem jong chu imalouvin akoiyin, nikhat sungin abolngai ngaijin, aPathen kom’a thumvei atao jing’e’’ atiuvin, aheh tauve.
Then they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, is not concerned about your law, nor about the decree that you have established, but three times a day he prays his supplication.”
14 Hiche thuhi ajahdoh phat in, lengpa chu hatah in along gim tai. Aman Daniel chu huhdoh teina ding angaiton, lunggil tah in agelpan tai. Hiche boina-a kon’a Daniel lhadoh teina ding lampi aholin, nilhum keijin akigeltan ahi.
Now when the king had heard these words, he was greatly grieved, and, on behalf of Daniel, he set his heart to free him, and he labored even until sunset to rescue him.
15 Nilhah ahiphat chun, miho chu lengpa heng’a achekhomun, ajah a aseitauve, “Vo lengpa, Mede mite leh Persia mite danthu dungjuiya lengpan khut-hen abol khumsa dan chu kikhel theilou ahi, nangmatah in nahet ahi,’’atiuve.
But these men, knowing the king, said to him, “You know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that every decree which the king has established may not be altered.”
16 Hichun alou theilouvin Daniel chu mat dingin, lengpan thu apetan, agaman tauve. Chuleh sakei bahkai kulsung’a chun aseplut tauvin ahi. Lengpan Daniel jah’a, “Kitah tah’a nahou jing na Pathen chun na huhdoh hen” ati.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. And the king said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you always serve, he himself will free you.”
17 Chuin songpi khat atanglutuvin, sakei bahkai kulkot chu asing tauve. Chuleh songpi chung’a chun lengpa leh amilen milal hon Mohor in melchihna anom khum cheh tauvin ahi. Hichu koiman Daniel chu agalha dohlou nading’a abol’u ahi.
And a stone was brought, and it was placed over the mouth of the den, which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, so that no one would act against Daniel.
18 Chuin lengpa jong lung oilou tahin a-inpia akile tai. Ajan chun an angolin, imutheilouvin akhovah tai. Chuleh angaina-a kibolji golnop jong abol tapouve.
And the king departed into his house, and he went to bed without eating, and food was not set before him, moreover, even sleep fled from him.
19 Ajing jingkah matah in, lengpa chu athoudohloijin, sakei bahkai kul langchu kinotah in ajontai.
Then the king, getting himself up at first light, went quickly to the den of lions.
20 Chuin amun alhunphat chun, aman lung natah in apeng jah in, “Vo Daniel, Pathen hingjing sohpa! Kitahtah’a nahou jing na Pathen chun sakei bahkai lah’a kon’a na huhdoh hinam?’’ ati.
And coming near to the den, he cried out with a tearful voice to Daniel and spoke to him. “Daniel, servant of the living God, your God, whom you serve always, do you believe he has prevailed to free you from the lions?”
21 Daniel in adonbut in, “Vo lengpa hingsot in!”
And Daniel, answering the king, said, “O king, live forever.
22 “Ka Pathen chun a vantil ahinsol lhan, sakei bahkai ho kam asippeh in, eisu khapouve. Ajeh chu Pakai mitmun keima nolna beijin ka um’e, chuleh nangma angsung’a jong suhkhel ka neipoi, Vo! lengpa’’ ahinti.
My God has sent his angel, and he has closed the mouths of the lions, and they have not harmed me, because before him justice has been found in me, and, even before you, O king, I have committed no offense.”
23 Chutah chun lengpa jong akipah behseh jeng in, Daniel chu sakei bahkai kul sung’a kon’a lahdoh loi dingin thu apetai. Aman a Pathen dettah’a atahsan jal chun, atahsa chung’a maha imacha aum poi.
Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den. And Daniel was taken out of the den, and no wound was found in him, because he believed in his God.
24 Chuin lengpan thupeh abolin, Daniel chunga dihlou tah’a hehsetna anabol hochu amandoh un, amaho leh ajite chuleh achate jouse jong abon’un, sakei bahkai kul sung’a chun alehlut tauve. Hichun, tol’a achuh masang’un, sakei bahkai hon aman’un, abottel tel gamset tauvin ahi.
Moreover, by order of the king, those men were brought who had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the lions’ den, they, and their sons, and their wives, and they did not reach the bottom of the den before the lions seized them and crushed all their bones.
25 Chuin Darius lengpan, leiset pumpia chitin namtin’a miho leh pao tintang tho ho heng’a, hiche thuhi athot tai, “Na chunguva cham leh kipana chuleh khantouna umhen!”
Then king Darius wrote to all peoples, tribes, and languages dwelling in all the land. “May peace be increased with you.
26 Keiman hiche thugahna hi kabol ahi, kalenggam sung pumpia amitakip’in, Daniel Pathen chu gingsoh hen chuleh kihot hot pumin jabol cheh hen. Ajeh chu amahi Pathen Hingjing ahin, Chuleh a tonsot geija thohjou jing Pathen ahi. Alenggam jong a itih’a kisumang louding, Chuleh alengvai pohna jong beitih umlou ding ahi.
It is hereby established by my decree that, in all my empire and my kingdom, they shall begin to tremble and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God forever, and his kingdom will not be destroyed, and his power will last forever.
27 Aman amite aholdohjin chuleh ahuhhing ji'e. Chuleh aman van leh leiset chung’a melchihna kidang ho leh bolmo kidang ho aboljin ahi. Aman sakei bahkai ho lah’a konin Daniel jong ana huhdoh’e.
He is the liberator and the savior, performing signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who has freed Daniel from the lions’ den.”
28 Hiche jeh chun, Darius lengvaipoh sung leh Persia mi Cyrus lengvaipoh sung chun, Daniel chu akhangtou jing jeng tai.
Thereafter, Daniel continued through the reign of Darius until the reign of Cyrus, the Persian.
