Daniel 6
1 Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
Li te fè Darius plezi pou chwazi san-ven satrap sou wayòm nan, pou yo ta kapab pran chaj a tout wayòm nan.
2 and over them three administrators, including Daniel, to whom these satraps were accountable so that the king would not suffer loss.
Epi sou yo menm, twa chèf. Youn nan chèf sila yo se te Daniel. Satrap sila yo ta dwe responsab bay kont sou yo menm, pou wa a pa ta soufre okenn pèt.
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.
Daniel te kòmanse distenge li menm pami chèf ak satrap yo akoz li te posede yon lespri ekstrawòdinè, e wa a te fè plan pou plase li sou tout wayòm nan.
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.
Konsa, chèf ak satrap yo te kòmanse chache pou twouve yon koz akizasyon kont Daniel nan zafè wayòm nan; men yo pa t ka jwenn okenn baz pou akize l, ni okenn koripsyon, akoz li te fidèl. Okenn neglijans ni koripsyon pa t ka twouve nan li.
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.”
Epi mesye sila yo te di: “Nou p ap jwenn okenn mwayen pou fè akizasyon kont Daniel eksepte nou jwenn sa kont li konsènan lalwa Bondye li a.”
6 So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said, “O King Darius, may you live forever!
Alò, chèf sila yo ak satrap yo te antann yo pou te parèt devan wa a, e te pale avèk li konsa: “Wa Darius, viv jis pou tout tan!
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.
Tout chèf wayòm ak prefè yo, satrap yo, wo ofisyèl ak gouvènè yo te fè konsiltasyon ansanm pou wa a ta etabli yon estati e fè yon dekrè pou nenpòt moun ki ta fè yon priyè a yon lòt dye oswa lòm sof ke ou menm pandan trant jou, o wa, dwe jete nan fòs lyon an.
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sign the document so that it cannot be changed—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
Alò, O wa, fè dekrè a e siyen dokiman pou l pa ka chanje selon lalwa Mèd ak Pès yo, ki p ap ka chanje.”
9 Therefore King Darius signed the written decree.
Konsa Darius, wa a, te siyen dokiman an, ak dekrè a.
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.
Alò, lè Daniel te konnen ke dokiman an te fin siyen, li te lantre lakay li (alò, nan chanm anwo a, te gen fenèt ki te ouvri vè Jérusalem), epi li te mete li sou jenou li twa fwa pa jou, pou fè lapriyè, e bay remèsiman devan Bondye li a, jan li te kon fè oparavan an.
11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel petitioning and imploring his God.
Alò, mesye sila yo te reyini ansanm e yo te vin jwenn Daniel ki t ap fè petisyon ak siplikasyon li devan Bondye li a.
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.”
Konsa, yo te pwoche pou te pale devan wa a konsènan dekrè a: “Èske ou pa t siyen yon dekrè ke yon moun ki ta fè petisyon a yon lòt dye oswa lòm sof ke ou menm, O wa, pandan trant jou, ta vin jete nan fòs lyon an?” Wa a te reponn: “Pawòl sa a se verite, selon Lalwa a Mèd ak Pès yo, ki p ap ka chanje menm.”
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.”
Epi yo te reponn, e te pale devan wa a: “Daniel, ki se youn nan egzile ki soti Juda yo pa okipe ou, O wa, ni dekrè ke ou te siyen an, men kontinye fè petisyon li yo twa fwa pa jou.”
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.
Alò, depi wa a te fin tande pawòl sa a, li te vin byen twouble e te dirije panse li sou mwayen pou delivre Daniel. Epi jiskaske solèy fin kouche, li te kontinye fè efò pou l ta ka sove li.
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.”
Alò, mesye sila yo te rasanble ansanm devan wa a. Yo te di wa a: “Byen konprann, O wa, ke sa se yon lwa a Mèd ak Pès yo, ke okenn pwosè legal, ni dekrè ke wa a ta etabli, pa kapab chanje.”
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!”
Konsa, wa a te pase lòd pou mennen Daniel jete nan fos lyon an. Wa a te pale. Li te di a Daniel: “Bondye ou a, ke ou sèvi san rete a, va Li menm, delivre ou.”
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.
Yon wòch te mennen pou te plase sou bouch a fòs la, epi wa a te sele li ak pwòp bag so li a, e ak bag so a prens li yo, pou anyen pa ta chanje konsènan 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.
Konsa, wa a te ale nan palè li e te pase nwit lan nan fè jèn. Pa t gen okenn enstriman mizik ki te pote devan l, epi somèy te kite l.
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the den of lions.
Alò, wa a te leve avan solèy la, lè bajou fenk kase, e li te fè vit ale nan fòs lyon an.
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?”
Lè li te vin pre fòs kote Daniel la, li te kriye fò ak yon vwa byen twouble. Wa a te pale e te di a Daniel: “Daniel, sèvitè a Bondye vivan an, èske Bondye ou a, ke ou sèvi san rete a te gen kapasite pou delivre ou de lyon yo?”
21 Then Daniel replied, “O king, may you live forever!
Konsa, Daniel te reponn a wa a: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan!
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.”
Bondye mwen an te voye zanj li. Li te fèmen bouch a lyon yo e yo pa t fè m okenn mal, paske, mwen te twouve inosan devan l, e anplis, anvè ou menm, O wa a, mwen pa t fè okenn krim.”
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.
Wa a te vrèman kontan e te pase lòd pou Daniel ta retire nan fòs la. Konsa, Daniel te vin retire nan fòs la e okenn blesi pa t menm twouve sou li, akoz li te mete konfyans nan Bondye li a.
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.
Konsa, wa a te pase lòd pou yo te mennen mesye sila ki te aji ak movèz fwa, pou akize Daniel yo, e yo te jete yo menm, pitit yo ak madanm yo nan fòs lyon an. Konsa, yo pa t menm rive nan baz fòs la avan lyon yo te sezi yo e te kraze tout zo yo.
25 Then King Darius wrote to the people of every nation and language throughout the land: “May your prosperity abound.
Epi Darius, wa a te ekri a tout pèp yo, nasyon ak lang ki t ap viv nan tout peyi a: “Ke lapè ou kapab vin miltipliye!
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.
Mwen fè yon dekrè ke nan tout dominasyon wayòm mwen an, pou tout moun gen pou gen lakrent e tranble devan Dye Daniel la; Paske Li se Bondye vivan an, ki dire jis pou tout tan an, epi wayòm Li an se yon wayòm ki p ap janm detwi. Règn li an va jis pou tout tan.
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.”
Li delivre e Li sove, Li fè sign ak mèvèy nan syèl la ak sou tè a. Li menm ki te delivre Daniel soti nan pouvwa a lyon yo.”
28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Konsa, Daniel sila a te vin pwospere pandan règn a Darius la, e pandan règn a Cyrus, Pès la.
