< Daniel 6 >

1 It pleased Darius, and so he appointed over the kingdom one hundred twenty governors, to be placed throughout his whole kingdom.
Ya gamshi Dariyus ya naɗa muƙaddasai 120 su yi shugabanci a duk fāɗin masarautar,
2 And over these, three leaders, of whom Daniel was one, so that the governors would be accountable to them and the king would have no trouble.
ya naɗa mutum uku a bisa waɗannan muƙaddasan, Daniyel yana ɗaya daga cikin mutum ukun nan. Sai aka sa muƙaddasan nan a ƙarƙashin waɗannan uku ɗin domin kada sarki ya yi hasarar kome.
3 And so Daniel excelled above all the leaders and governors, because a greater spirit of God was in him.
To, Daniyel dai ya yi ficce a cikin shugabannin nan uku har da muƙaddasan ma, saboda waɗansu halaye nagari da yake da su, wanda ya sa sarki ya yi shiri ya ɗora shi a kan dukan mulkinsa.
4 Furthermore, the king considered setting him over the entire kingdom; whereupon the leaders and the governors sought to find a complaint against Daniel and in favor of the king. And they could find no case, or even suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault or suspicion was found in him.
A kan haka, shugabannin nan uku da muƙaddasan nan suka yi ƙoƙari su sami wani laifi a kan Daniyel a yadda yake tafiyar da aikin shugabancinsa, amma ba su samu ba. Ba su same shi da wani laifin cin hanci ba, domin shi amintacce ne kuma babu wani aibi a kansa ko rashin kula.
5 Therefore, these men said, “We will not find any complaint against this Daniel, unless it is against the law of his God.”
A ƙarshe waɗannan mutane suka ce; “Ba za mu taɓa samun wani laifin da za mu kama Daniyel da shi ba, sai dai ko abin ya shafi dokar Allahnsa.”
6 Then the leaders and governors took the king aside privately and spoke to him in this way: “King Darius, live forever.
Saboda haka shugabannin nan suka haɗu da muƙaddasan nan suka tafi wurin sarki a ƙungiyance suka ce, “Ya Sarki Dariyus, ranka yă daɗe!
7 All the leaders of your kingdom, the magistrates and governors, the senators and judges, have taken counsel that an imperial decree and edict should be published, so that all who ask any petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, will be cast into the den of lions.
Shugabannin masarauta, da masu mulki, da muƙaddasai, da mashawarta da gwamnoni duk sun amince cewa sarki yă kafa doka yă kuma yi umarni cewa a cikin kwana talatin nan gaba duk wanda ya yi addu’a ga wani allah ko mutum, in ba a gare ka ba, ya sarki, jefa shi cikin kogon zakoki.
8 Now, therefore, O king, confirm this judgment and write the decree, so that what is established by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor will any man be allowed to transgress it.”
Yanzu, ya sarki, sai ka yi umarni ka kuma yi shi a rubuce saboda kada a canja shi, bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, waɗanda ba a iya sokewa.”
9 And so king Darius set forth the decree and established it.
Sai Sarki Dariyus ya ba da umarnin a rubuce.
10 Now when Daniel learned of this, namely, that the law had been established, he entered his house, and, opening the windows in his upper room towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and he adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do previously.
To, da Daniyel ya ji labarin cewa an fitar da doka, sai ya tafi gidansa a ɗakinsa na sama inda tagogin ɗakin suke duban wajen Urushalima. Sau uku yakan durƙusa yă yi addu’a yana yin godiya ga Allahnsa, kamar yadda ya saba yi.
11 Therefore, these men, inquiring diligently, discovered that Daniel was praying and making supplication to his God.
Sai waɗannan mutane suka tafi a ƙungiyance suka kuma iske Daniyel yana addu’a yana roƙon Allah yă taimake shi.
12 And they approached and spoke to the king about the edict. “O king, did you not decree that every man who makes a request to any of the gods or men for thirty days, except to yourself, O king, would be cast into the den of lions?” To which the king replied, saying, “The sentence is true, and according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, it is not lawful to violate it.”
Sai suka tafi wurin sarki suka yi masa magana game da dokar mulkinsa, suka ce, “Ashe, ba ka yi doka cewa a cikin kwana talatin nan gaba duk wanda aka tarar yana addu’a ga wani allah ko mutum in ba kai ba, ya sarki, za ka jefa shi a cikin ramin zakoki ba?” Sarki ya amsa ya ce, “Dokar tana nan daram bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, waɗanda ba a iya sokewa.”
13 Then they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, is not concerned about your law, nor about the decree that you have established, but three times a day he prays his supplication.”
Sai suka ce wa sarki, “Daniyel ɗin nan, wanda yake ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda aka kwaso daga Yahuda, bai kula da kai ba, ya sarki, balle fa dokar da ka yi. Har yanzu yana addu’a sau uku a rana.”
14 Now when the king had heard these words, he was greatly grieved, and, on behalf of Daniel, he set his heart to free him, and he labored even until sunset to rescue him.
Da sarki ya ji haka, sai ya damu sosai, ya ƙudura yă ceci Daniyel, ya yi ta fama har fāɗuwar rana yadda zai yi yă kuɓutar da shi.
15 But these men, knowing the king, said to him, “You know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that every decree which the king has established may not be altered.”
Sai mutanen nan suka je wurin sarki a ƙungiyance suka ce masa, “Ka tuna, ya sarki; cewa bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, babu umarni ko dokar da sarki ya yi da za a iya sokewa.”
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. And the king said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you always serve, he himself will free you.”
Saboda haka sai sarki ya ba da umarni suka kuma kawo Daniyel suka jefa shi cikin ramin zakoki. Sarki ya ce wa Daniyel, “Bari Allahn nan wanda kake bauta masa kullum, yă cece ka!”
17 And a stone was brought, and it was placed over the mouth of the den, which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, so that no one would act against Daniel.
Aka kawo dutsen aka rufe bakin ramin, sa’an nan sarki ya hatimce shi da zobensa da kuma zoban manyan mutanensa, don kada wani yă canja yanayin Daniyel.
18 And the king departed into his house, and he went to bed without eating, and food was not set before him, moreover, even sleep fled from him.
Sa’an nan sarki ya koma fadarsa ya kwana bai ci ba, kuma babu wata liyafar da aka kawo masa. Ya kuma kāsa barci.
19 Then the king, getting himself up at first light, went quickly to the den of lions.
Gari yana wayewa, sai sarki ya tashi ya hanzarta zuwa ramin zakoki.
20 And coming near to the den, he cried out with a tearful voice to Daniel and spoke to him. “Daniel, servant of the living God, your God, whom you serve always, do you believe he has prevailed to free you from the lions?”
Da ya yi kusa da ramin zakokin, sai ya kira Daniyel da muryar mai cike da damuwa ya ce, “Daniyel bawan Allah mai rai, ko Allahn nan naka wanda kake bauta wa kullum, ya iya cetonka daga zakoki?”
21 And Daniel, answering the king, said, “O king, live forever.
Sai Daniyel ya amsa ya ce, “Ran sarki, yă daɗe!
22 My God has sent his angel, and he has closed the mouths of the lions, and they have not harmed me, because before him justice has been found in me, and, even before you, O king, I have committed no offense.”
Allahna ya aiko da mala’ikansa, ya kuwa rufe bakunan zakoki. Ba su yi mini rauni ba, gama an same ni marar laifi ne a gabansa. Ban kuwa taɓa yin wani abu marar kyau a gabanka ba, ya sarki.”
23 Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den. And Daniel was taken out of the den, and no wound was found in him, because he believed in his God.
Sai sarki ya cika da murna ƙwarai, ya kuma yi umarni a ciro Daniyel daga ramin zakoki. Kuma da aka fito da Daniyel daga ramin, ba a sami wani rauni a jikinsa ba, domin ya dogara ga Allahnsa.
24 Moreover, by order of the king, those men were brought who had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the lions’ den, they, and their sons, and their wives, and they did not reach the bottom of the den before the lions seized them and crushed all their bones.
Sai sarki ya umarta, a kawo mutanen nan da suka yi wa Daniyel maƙarƙashiya, a tura su, da’ya’yansu, da matansu cikin ramin zakoki. Kafin ma su kai ƙurewar ramin, sai zakoki suka hallaka su suka yayyage su, suka yi kaca-kaca da su.
25 Then king Darius wrote to all peoples, tribes, and languages dwelling in all the land. “May peace be increased with you.
Sa’an nan Sarki Dariyus ya rubuta wa dukan mutane, da al’ummai da kuma mutanen dukan harsunan a duk fāɗin ƙasar. “Bari yă yi nasara sosai!
26 It is hereby established by my decree that, in all my empire and my kingdom, they shall begin to tremble and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God forever, and his kingdom will not be destroyed, and his power will last forever.
“Na fitar da doka cewa a cikin dukan iyakar ƙasar mulkina, dole mutane su ji tsoro su kuma girmama Allah na Daniyel.
27 He is the liberator and the savior, performing signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who has freed Daniel from the lions’ den.”
Yakan kuɓutar ya kuma ceci;
28 Thereafter, Daniel continued through the reign of Darius until the reign of Cyrus, the Persian.
Daniyel kuwa ya bunkasa a lokacin mulkin Dariyus da kuma mulkin Sairus na Farisa.
