< Daniel 6 >

1 Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
Darius noneno ni en gima ber mondo oyier jotelo mia achiel gi piero ariyo mondo okonye rito pinyruodhe duto.
2 and over them three administrators, including Daniel, to whom these satraps were accountable so that the king would not suffer loss.
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.
3 Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps. So the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
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.
4 Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
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.
5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel, unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”
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.”
6 So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said, “O King Darius, may you live forever!
Kuom mano, jotend jorit pinje, kaachiel gi jodongo, nodhi ir ruoth ma giwachone niya, “Yaye ruoth Darius, mad idag amingʼa!
7 All the royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers, and governors have agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce a decree that for thirty days anyone who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions.
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.
8 Therefore, O king, establish the decree and sign the document so that it cannot be changed—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
Koro, yaye ruoth, gol chikno, kendo ndike piny, ma ok nyal loke mana kaka chik jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia ma ok nyal loki.”
9 Therefore King Darius signed the written decree.
Omiyo ruoth Darius nondiko chikno mogoyoe sei mar ruoth.
10 Now when Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house, where the windows of his upper room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
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.
11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel petitioning and imploring his God.
Eka chiengʼ moro jogi nodhi ire ka gin kanyakla mine giyudo Daniel ka lemo kendo kwayo Nyasache mondo okonye.
12 So they approached the king and asked about his royal decree: “Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days any man who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions?” The king replied, “According to the law of the Medes and Persians the order stands, and it cannot be repealed.”
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.”
13 Then they told the king, “Daniel, one of the exiles from Judah, shows no regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed. He still makes his petition three times a day.”
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.”
14 As soon as the king heard this, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel, and he labored until sundown to rescue him.
Kane ruoth owinjo wachno, chunye nochandore; moramo ni nyaka ores Daniel, kendo notimo duto mane onyalo odiechiengno duto chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo mondo okonye.
15 Then the men approached the king together and said to him, “Remember, O king, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or ordinance established by the king can be changed.”
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.”
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”
Omiyo ruoth nogolo chik, kendo negikelo Daniel mi gibole e bur sibuoche, kendo ruoth nowachone Daniel niya, “Mad Nyasachi, mitiyone ndalo duto, konyi!”
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that nothing concerning Daniel could be changed.
Bangʼ mano nokel kidi modin-go dho bur, kendo ruoth noketo sei gi lwete owuon gi mar jodonge, mondo kik ngʼato angʼata ores Daniel.
18 Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting. No entertainment was brought before him, and sleep fled from him.
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.
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the den of lions.
Okinyi mangʼich ka ugwe chako wuok, ruoth noa malo moreto nyaka e bur sibuoche.
20 When he reached the den, he cried out in a voice of anguish, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
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?”
21 Then Daniel replied, “O king, may you live forever!
Daniel nodwoko niya, “Yaye ruoth, mad idag amingʼa!”
22 My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, for I was found innocent in His sight, and I have done no wrong against you, O king.”
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.
23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den, and when Daniel was lifted out of the den, no wounds whatsoever were found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
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.
24 At the command of the king, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den of lions—they and their children and wives. And before they had reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
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.
25 Then King Darius wrote to the people of every nation and language throughout the land: “May your prosperity abound.
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!”
26 I hereby decree that in every part of my kingdom, men are to tremble in fear before the God of Daniel: For He is the living God, and He endures forever; His kingdom will never be destroyed, and His dominion will never end.
Asegolo chik ne pinje duto manie bwo lochna ni mondo ji duto oluor Nyasach Daniel kendo omiye duongʼ.
27 He delivers and rescues; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, for He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”
En ema oreso kendo okonyo ji;
28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Kuom mano Daniel nomedo dhi maber e ndalo loch mar Darius kendo e ndalo loch mar Sairas ja-Pasia.
