Daniel 6
1 Darius noneno ni en gima ber mondo oyier jotelo mia achiel gi piero ariyo mondo okonye rito pinyruodhe duto.
It pleased Daryavesh to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
2 Eka noyiero Daniel gi ji ariyo mamoko mondo obed jotend jotelogo. Jorit pinjegi nomi chik ni nyaka gidwok wach ni jotelo adekgi, mondo kik gimoro dhi marach ne ruoth.
and over them three administrators, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.
3 To Daniel noloyo jotend jorit pinje mamoko duto, nikech lony mamalo mane en-go, mi ruoth koro ne chano mondo omiye teko mar rito piny duto.
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the administrators and the satraps, because an extraordinary spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Mano nomiyo jotend jorit pinje gi jodongo notemo mondo ondhog Daniel e tije mar rito piny, to ne otamogi yudo. Ne ok ginyal yudo ketho moro amora kuome, nikech ne en ja-adiera e yore duto, kendo ne oonge gi tim mar kawo malangʼ, kata mar jwangʼo tich.
Then the administrators and the satraps sought to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful. Neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Bangʼ temo yore duto, jogi nowacho niya, “Ok wabi yudo wach moro amora ma wanyalo ketogo ketho kuom Daniel, makmana ka en gima omulo chik Nyasache.”
Then these men said, "We will not find any charge against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."
6 Kuom mano, jotend jorit pinje, kaachiel gi jodongo, nodhi ir ruoth ma giwachone niya, “Yaye ruoth Darius, mad idag amingʼa!
Then these administrators and satraps assembled together to the king, and said this to him, "King Daryavesh, live forever.
7 Jotend jotich duto mag ruoth, kaachiel gi jochik jotich, gi jorit pinje, gi jongʼad rieko kod jotend jorit pinje osewinjore ni ruoth onego ogol chik, kendo one ni chikno otiyo, mondo ngʼato angʼata molamo nyasaye moro amora kata dhano moro amora kuom ndalo piero adek mabiro, ma ok in, yaye ruoth, to mondo obol e bur sibuoche.
All the administrators of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever shall ask 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 Koro, yaye ruoth, gol chikno, kendo ndike piny, ma ok nyal loke mana kaka chik jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia ma ok nyal loki.”
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 cannot be changed."
9 Omiyo ruoth Darius nondiko chikno mogoyoe sei mar ruoth.
Therefore king Daryavesh signed the writing and the decree.
10 Kane Daniel owinjo ni oseket sei e chikno nodhi e ode kama ne nitie ot moro man-gi dirise mochomo yo Jerusalem. Odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ Daniel ne goyo chonge piny kodwoko erokamano ni Nyasache nyadidek mana kaka nosebedo kotimo pile.
When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber 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 Eka chiengʼ moro jogi nodhi ire ka gin kanyakla mine giyudo Daniel ka lemo kendo kwayo Nyasache mondo okonye.
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and petition before his God.
12 Omiyo negidhi ir ruoth kendo ne giwuoyo kode kuom chik mane osegolo: Donge nyocha iketo chik mindiko piny ni kuom ndalo piero adek mabiro ngʼato angʼata molamo nyasaye kata dhano moro amora ma ok in, yaye ruoth, to ibiro bol e bur sibuoche? Ruoth nodwoko niya, “Chikno osiko mana kaka chike jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia, ma ok nyal loki.”
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree. "Haven't you signed a decree, that every man who shall make 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, "The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."
13 Eka negiwachone ruoth niya, “Daniel ma en achiel kuom jo-Juda mane oter e twech, ok osedewi, yaye ruoth, bende ok osedewo chik mane iketo e ndiko. Pod olamo kido nyadidek e odiechiengʼ achiel.”
Then they answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn't regard you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."
14 Kane ruoth owinjo wachno, chunye nochandore; moramo ni nyaka ores Daniel, kendo notimo duto mane onyalo odiechiengno duto chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo mondo okonye.
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 Eka jogo duto nodhi ir ruoth mi giwacho niya, “Yaye ruoth, ngʼe ni kaluwore gi chik jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia, to onge chik ma ruoth osegolo manyalo lokore.”
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 Omiyo ruoth nogolo chik, kendo negikelo Daniel mi gibole e bur sibuoche, kendo ruoth nowachone Daniel niya, “Mad Nyasachi, mitiyone ndalo duto, konyi!”
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, "Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you."
17 Bangʼ mano nokel kidi modin-go dho bur, kendo ruoth noketo sei gi lwete owuon gi mar jodonge, mondo kik ngʼato angʼata ores Daniel.
A stone was brought, and placed on the opening 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 Eka ruoth nodok e ode kendo otienono duto ne ok ochiemo bende ne ok oyie mondo joma mielne obi e nyime bende nindo notamore tere.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him. And his sleep fled from him.
19 Okinyi mangʼich ka ugwe chako wuok, ruoth noa malo moreto nyaka e bur sibuoche.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 Kane ochopo machiegni gi bur sibuoche, noluongo Daniel gi dwol maduongʼ ka chunye parore niya, “Daniel, jatij Nyasaye Mangima, bende Nyasachi mitiyone ndalo duto oseresi e dho sibuochego?”
When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable 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 nodwoko niya, “Yaye ruoth, mad idag amingʼa!”
Then said Daniel to the king, "O king, live forever.
22 Nyasacha nooro malaikane, momako dho sibuoche. Ok gisehinya, nikech noyud ka aonge ketho e nyime, to kata in, yaye ruoth, pok atimo gimoro amora marach e nyimi.
My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; because before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, have I done no wrong."
23 Ruoth ne mor ahinya mi nogolo chik mondo ogol Daniel ei bur sibuoche. Kane ogol Daniel oko e bur sibuoche, to ne ok noyudi kama lit moro amora e dende, nikech nogeno kuom Nyasache kinde duto.
Then was the king 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 manner of hurt was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 Ruoth nogolo chik, mi joma nohango ne Daniel wach nokel nobol e bur sibuoche, kaachiel gi mondgi gi nyithindgi. To sibuoche nongamogi gi ewi yamo kapok gichopo piny, kendo noturo chokegi duto matindo tindo.
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 overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Eka ruoth Darius nondiko ne ogendini duto, gi pinje duto kod ji duto mawacho dhok mopogore opogore e piny duto kama: “Mad Nyasaye med gwedhou ahinya!”
Then king Daryavesh wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you.
26 Asegolo chik ne pinje duto manie bwo lochna ni mondo ji duto oluor Nyasach Daniel kendo omiye duongʼ.
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 shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be to the end.
27 En ema oreso kendo okonyo ji;
He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
28 Kuom mano Daniel nomedo dhi maber e ndalo loch mar Darius kendo e ndalo loch mar Sairas ja-Pasia.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Daryavesh, and in the reign of Koresh the Persian.
