1 他認為更好在國內設立一百二十個總督,分治全國;
Naʻe lelei kia Talaiasi ke fakanofo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko teau ma toko uofulu, ke māʻolunga ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē;
2 在這些總督之上另設三位監察史-達尼爾便是其中之一-各總督應向他們述職,這樣可免君王煩勞。
Pea ke māʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau pule ʻe toko tolu; pea ko e ʻuluaki ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Taniela; koeʻuhi ke fakahā ʻe he houʻeiki ʻae ngaahi ngāue kiate kinautolu, pea ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ha kovi ki he tuʻi ʻi ha meʻa.
3 這位達尼爾,由於他具有超凡的精神,辦事勝過其他監察史和總督,所以君王有意立他治理全國。
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ki muʻa ʻae Taniela ni ʻi he kau pule mo e houʻeiki, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻilo ʻae ʻatamai lelei ʻiate ia, pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻae tuʻi ke fakanofo ia ko e pule ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
4 因此監察史和總督,竭力在達尼爾處理國事上,尋找機會陷害他,卻總不能找到任何可控告他的事實和過失,因為達尼爾忠信可靠,所以在他身上總找不到任何疏忽和過錯。
Pea naʻe toki kumi ʻe he kau pule mo e houʻeiki ke nau ʻilo ha meʻa kia Taniela ʻi he puleʻanga; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ha meʻa pe ha kovi; he naʻa ne angatonu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ha kovi pe ha fai hala ʻiate ia.
5 於是這些人說道:「我們若不在他的神的法律上尋找,就找不到陷害達尼爾的任何事。」
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ni, “ʻE ʻikai te tau ʻilo ha meʻa ʻi he Taniela ni ka ʻi heʻetau maʻu ha meʻa ʻoku kau kiate ia mo e fono ʻa hono ʻOtua.”
6 這些監察史和總督,便群集到君王前,對君王說:「達理阿大王,萬歲!
Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau pule mo e houʻeiki ko ia ki he tuʻi, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE tuʻi ko Talaiasi, ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata.
7 國內的眾監察史、知縣、總督、大臣和省長,都計議請下一道詔書,立一禁令:三十天內,凡不向你大王,而向任何神祇或任何人祈求的,應將他投入獅子圈內。
Kuo fealēleaʻaki fakataha ʻae kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe puleʻanga mo e kau pule [ʻoe ngaahi vahe fonua], mo e houʻeiki, mo e kau fakamatala fono, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, ke fokotuʻu ha fono fakapuleʻanga mo fokotuʻu ke maʻu ha tapu, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pē ʻe fai ha kole ki ha ʻotua pe ki ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu, ka kiate koe pe, ʻe tuʻi, ke lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione.
8 大王! 請你現在就立刻下這道禁令,簽署這項文告,人就不能再更改,因為按瑪待人和波斯人的法律,那是不可更改的。」
Pea ko eni, ʻe tuʻi, ke ke fokotuʻu ʻae fono, mo ke ʻai ho hingoa ki he tohi, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakakeheʻi ia, kae fakatatau ia ki he fono ʻoe kakai Mitia mo Peasia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke feliliuʻaki.”
9 達理阿遂簽署了這文告禁令。
Ko ia naʻe tohi ai ʻe Talaiasi ki he tohi mo e fono.
10 達尼爾一知道君王簽署了這項文告,便回了家。他樓房的窗戶是向著耶路撒冷開的-他每天仍照常三次屈膝跪拜,祈求稱謝自己的天主,如往日所行的一樣。
Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Taniela, kuo tohi ʻae fono, naʻa ne hū ki hono fale, pea ko e ngaahi matapā sioʻata ʻi hono fale mohe naʻe ava ki Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne tōmapeʻe ʻo tūʻulutui ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he ʻaho, pea ne lotu mo fakafetaʻi ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai ʻi muʻa.
11 那些人群集前來,看見達尼爾正在自己的天主前祈求哀禱,
Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau tangata ni, pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻa Taniela, ʻoku ne lotu mo fai ʻene hū ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻOtua.
12 他們遂去見君王,向他提及禁令說:「陛下不是簽署了這樣的一道禁令:三十天內,凡不向大王,而向任何神祇或任何人祈求的,應將他投入獅子圈內嗎﹖」君王回答說:「確有此事! 照瑪待人和波斯人的法律是不可更改的。」
Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu atu, ʻo lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ki he fono ʻae tuʻi. “ʻIkai kuo ke tohi ʻae fono, ke ʻilonga ha tangata ʻe fai ha kole ki ha ʻotua pe ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu, ka kiate koe pe, ʻe tuʻi, ʻe lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione?” Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo ne pehēange, “ʻOku moʻoni ʻae meʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻae kakai Mitia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fānau pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻikai te ke liliu.
13 他們便對君王說道:「大王! 猶大俘虜中的那個達尼爾,竟然不介意陛下和陛下所簽署的禁令,仍照常一日三次自作祈禱。」
Pea naʻa nau lea ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, “Ko e Taniela na ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fānau pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga kiate koe, pe ki he fono ʻaia kuo ke tohi, ka ʻoku ne fai ʻene lotu ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he ʻaho.”
14 君王聽了這些話,十分難過,有心要救達尼爾,君王直到日落要設法解救他。
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi ki he lea ni, naʻa ne mamahi lahi, pea naʻe tokanga lahi hono loto kia Taniela ke fakahaofi ia, pea naʻa ne feinga ʻo aʻu ki he tō hifo ʻae laʻā ke fakahaofi ia.
15 但是那些人又群集到君王前,對君王說:「大王! 陛下要知道瑪待人和波斯人的法律:凡君王所立的禁令和法令,是不可更改的。」
Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻae kau tangata ni ki he tuʻi, pea nau pehē ki he tuʻi, “Ke ke ʻilo, ʻe tuʻi, ʻoku pehē ʻae fono ʻae kakai Mitia mo Peasia, ke ʻilonga ha fono pe ha tapu ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ʻe ʻikai siʻi liliu ia.”
16 君王於是下令,將達尼爾逮捕投入獅子圈內。君王對達尼爾說:「願你恒心恭敬的天主拯救救你! 」
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe he tuʻi, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻa Taniela, pea lī ia ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione. Ka naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo ne pehē kia Taniela, “Ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ke faʻa tauhi, te ne fakahaofi koe.”
17 遂即移了一塊大石,封住圈口,君王蓋上自己的御璽,大臣們蓋上自己的印章,免得達尼爾的案件發生意外的變化。
Pea naʻe ʻomi ha maka, ʻo ʻai ki he ngutu ʻoe ʻana: pea naʻe pulusi ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻaki hono fakaʻilonga ʻoʻona, pea mo e fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻene houʻeiki; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa liliu ʻae meʻa kia Taniela.
18 然後君王回了王宮,整夜絕食,斷絕娛樂,並徹夜失眠未睡。
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ki hono fale, pea ne ʻaukai ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻomi ki hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva: pea naʻe mahuʻi ʻae mohe meiate ia.
19 清晨,天一亮,君王便起來,急速往獅子圈去了,
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi he pongipongi ʻo hengihengi ʻaupito, pea ne ʻalu fakavave ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione.
20 一來到獅子圈旁,就哀聲呼喊,向達尼爾說道:「永生天主的僕人達尼爾! 你恒心恭敬的天主真能由獅子口裏拯救你嗎﹖」
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he ʻana, naʻa ne kalanga ʻi he leʻo mamahi kia Taniela; pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē kia Taniela, “ʻE Taniela, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, ʻoku mālohi ho ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ke tauhi maʻuaipē, ke fakahaofi koe mei he fanga laione?”
21 達尼爾遂對君王說:「大王萬歲!
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Taniela ki he tuʻi, ʻE tuʻi, ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata.
22 我的天主曾打發他的天使閉住獅子的口,一點沒有傷害我,因為我在他面前是無罪的;大王! 我即在陛下面前,也從沒有做過什麼傷害人的事。」
Kuo fekau ʻe hoku ʻOtua ʻa ʻene ʻāngelo, pea kuo tāpuni ʻae ngutu ʻoe fanga laione ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakamamahi au: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻilo ʻae lelei ʻiate au ʻi hono ʻao: pea ʻi ho ʻao foki ʻe tuʻi naʻe ʻikai te u fai kovi.”
23 君王非常高興,遂下令將達尼爾從獅子圈裏提出來。達尼爾便從獅子圈裏被提出來,他身上絲毫沒有受到損傷,因為他信賴了自己的天主。
Ko ia naʻe fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi koeʻuhi ko ia, pea ne fekau ke nau toʻo hake ʻa Taniela mei he ʻana. Ko ia naʻe toʻo hake ʻa Taniela mei he ʻana, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha lavea siʻi ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi naʻa ne tui ki hono ʻOtua.
24 君王遂下令逮捕那些控告達尼爾的人,將他們和他們的兒子、妻子,都投入獅子圈裏,他們還沒有到獅子圈底,獅子就向他們撲來,捉住他們,將他們的骨頭全咬碎了。
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke nau ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ko ia naʻe talatalaakiʻi ʻa Taniela, pea naʻa nau lī ʻakinautolu ki he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione, ʻakinautolu, mo ʻenau fānau, mo honau ngaahi uaifi; pea naʻe mālohi ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea fesiʻi fakaikiiki honau ngaahi hui kotoa pē, ʻi he teʻeki te nau hoko hifo ki he takele ʻoe ʻana.
25 達理阿於是詔告居民於普世的各民族,各邦國及各異語人民說:「願平安常與你們同在!
Pea naʻe tohi ʻe he tuʻi ko Talaiasi ki he kakai kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga mo e ngaahi lea, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani fulipē; “Ke tupulekina ʻae melino kiate kimoutolu.
26 我今頒發詔書,諭令我所統轄的全國人民,都應在達尼爾的天主前起敬起畏,因為他是生活永在的天主,他的國永不滅亡,他的王權永遠常存。
‌ʻOku ou fai fono, koeʻuhi ke tetetete mo ilifia ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua ʻo Taniela, ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo hoku puleʻanga: “He ko e ʻOtua moʻui ia, pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu, ʻo taʻengata: ko hono puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai ʻauha, pea ko ʻene pule ʻe aʻu atu ki he ngataʻanga.
27 他拯救施援,在天上地下實行神蹟奇事;是他拯救達尼爾脫免獅子的爪牙。」
‌ʻOku ne maluʻi mo fakahaofi, pea ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi mana mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he langi mo māmani, ko ia ia kuo fakahaofi ʻa Taniela mei he mālohi ʻoe fanga laione.”
28 這位達尼爾就這樣在達理阿和波斯人居魯士為王時,事事亨通。
Pea naʻe monūʻia ʻae Taniela ni ʻi he kei pule ʻa Talaiasi, pea mo e pule ʻa Kolesi ko e Peasia.
