Daniel 6
1 Darius siangpahrang ni a uknaeram thung thaw ka tawk hane 120 touh hoi hote bawinaw patuen ka hrawi hanelah bawi kathum touh hah a ngai e patetlah a rawi.
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
2 Hote bawi kathum touh thung dawk Daniel teh bawi buet touh lah ao hloilah,
and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.
3 bawinaw pueng hlak hai hoe kahawi e panuenae a tawn dawkvah, a ram buemlah ahni kut dawk koung poe sak han telah siangpahrang ni a pouk.
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Hat toteh, kahrawikungnaw hoi bawinaw ni Daniel dawk uknaeram hoi kâkuen e yonpen hane a tawng awh.
Then the presidents and the local governors sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. There wasn’t any error or fault found in him.
5 Cathut thaw a tawk e hloilah alouke thawtawknae dawk maimouh ni a yonnae hmawt awh hoeh ati awh teh,
Then these men said, “We won’t find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”
6 Darius siangpahrang koe a kamkhueng awh. Siangpahrang na hring saw seh.
Then these presidents and local governors assembled together to the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever!
7 Bawipa, nang koe hloilah alouke tami koe nakunghai, cathut koe nakunghai hnin 30 touh thung ka ratoum e tami teh, sendekkhu thung tâkhawng lah awmseh telah kâraphoe thai hoeh e kâ pathang sak hanelah uknaeram ukkung bawinaw, kho ukkung bawinaw, rahak lai ka deikungnaw hoi ukkung pueng ni lungkânging awh toe.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Hatdawkvah, laideitâtueng e teh caksak haw. Medes Persia phung patetlah kâraphoe thai hoeh e tacikkin sin haw atipouh awh.
Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”
9 Hatdawkvah, Darius siangpahrang ni laideitâtueng e teh kutnout a thut sin.
Therefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 Hote laideitâtueng e hah tacik a kin sin teh a pathang toe tie Daniel ni a panue ei, ama im a cei teh, imvan Jerusalem kho lah kangvawinae hlalangaw a paawng laihoi, meng ouk a sak e patetlah khok cuengkhuem laihoi hnin touh dawk vai thum touh a ratoum teh Cathut koe lunghawi lawk a dei.
When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
11 Hottelah Cathut koe a ratoum e hah bawinaw ni a kamkhueng awh teh, a hmu awh navah,
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
12 siangpahrang koe a cei awh teh, siangpahrang nang koe hloilah, alouke tami koe nakunghai, cathut koe nakunghai, hnin 30 touh thung ka ratoum e tami teh sendek e khu thung tâkhawng lah awmseh telah kutnout na thut nahoehmaw telah laideitâtueng e hah a pacei awh. Siangpahrang ni hai kâraphoe thai hoeh e Medes Persia phung patetlah bokheiyah atipouh.
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree: “Haven’t you signed a decree that every man who makes a petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?” The king answered, “This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”
13 Bawinaw ni hai siangpahrang, Judah ram hoi na man e Judah tami Daniel ni siangpahrang banglahai ngaihoeh. Kutnout na thut teh na pathang e laideitâtueng e hai banglahai ngâi hoeh. Hnin touh dawk vai thum touh a ratoum atipouh awh.
Then they answered and said before the king, “That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn’t respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”
14 Hote lawk hah siangpahrang ni a thai navah puenghoi a kângai teh, Daniel a hlout thai nahan kanî a khup ditouh a kâpouk.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.
15 Bawinaw teh siangpahrang koe bout a kamkhueng awh teh, siangpahrang vai touh pathang tangcoung e laideitâtueng e teh Media Persia phung lah kâroephoe thai hoeh tie hah panuek khe, bout atipouh awh.
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 decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.”
16 Hattoteh siangpahrang ni kâ a poe e patetlah Daniel hah a thokhai awh teh, sendekkhu thung a tâkhawng awh. Siangpahrang ni Daniel koe, pout laipalah na bawk e Cathut ni nang teh na hlout sak seh atipouh.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”
17 Lungphenpui hah a la awh teh, sendekkhu a khuem awh. Daniel e akong dawk bout pathuengpathainae ao hoeh nahanelah siangpahrang e kuthrawt hoi bawinaw e khuthrawt hoi a kin awh.
A stone was brought, and laid on 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.
18 Hahoi, siangpahrang teh im lah a ban teh karum tuettuet rawca a hai. A hmalah ratoung tamawi hai tum sak hoeh. Ip hai ip thai hoeh.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
19 Atangtho amom a thaw teh sendekkhu koe karanglah a cei.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 Sendek khu koe a pha toteh, khuika laihoi Daniel hah a kaw teh, kahring Cathut e a san Daniel, nang ni pout laipalah na bawk e Cathut ni sendek runae koehoi na hlout sak thai maw atipouh.
When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”
21 Daniel ni siangpahrang na hring dung vang seh.
Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever!
22 Ka Cathut ni a kalvantami a patoun teh, sendeknaw e a pahninaw hah a tabuem pouh. Hatdawkvah, kai teh sendek runae dawk hoi ka hlout. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh Cathut hmalah kacueme lah ka o teh, nang koehai payonnae ka sak hoeh.
My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me, because innocence was found in me before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”
23 Hat toteh, siangpahrang puenghoi a lunghawi teh, Daniel hah sendekkhu thung hoi rasa hanelah kâ a poe.
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 kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 Hathnukkhu Daniel yon ka pen e naw hah, siangpahrang e kâ lahoi a kaw awh teh, a yuca abuemlahoi sendekkhu dawk a tâkhawng awh. Talai a pha hoehnahlan sendeknaw ni a hruhrawng pueng vekrasen lah a kei teh a ca awh.
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 mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Hottelah hoi, talai van kho tangkuem kaawm e lawk cawngca, miphun cawngca pueng koe siangpahrang e kâ lahoi ca a thut teh, a patawn. Ca a thut e teh, nangmouh koe lungmawngnae pung seh.
Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages who dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you.
26 Kai ni ka uknaeram thung kaawm e nangmouh ni, Daniel ni a bawk e Cathut hah taket awh telah lawk tâtuengnae ka sak. Bangtelamaw tetpawiteh, hote Cathut teh, kahring e Cathut, a yungyoe kangning e Cathut lah ao. Aram teh rawk thai mahoeh. A uknaeram hai a yungyoe a kangning han.
“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. His kingdom is that which will not be destroyed. His dominion will be even to the end.
27 A rungngang teh a hlout sak. Kalvan hoi talai van hai mitnoutnae, kângairunae hnonaw a tâco sak. Daniel hah sendek hnotithainae dawk hoi ka hlout sak e Cathut lah ao.
He delivers and rescues. He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”
28 Hottelah hoi Daniel teh, Darius a bawi nahai thoseh, Persia tami Sairas a bawi nahai thoseh, hawinae ka coe e lah ao.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
