Daniel 6
1 It pleased Darius, and so he appointed over the kingdom one hundred twenty governors, to be placed throughout his whole kingdom.
Свиде се Дарију те постави над царством сто и педесет управитеља да буду над свим царством;
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.
А над њима три старешине, од којих један беше Данило, којима ће управитељи давати рачуне да не би цару било штете.
3 And so Daniel excelled above all the leaders and governors, because a greater spirit of God was in him.
А тај Данило надвишиваше старешине и управитеље, јер у њему беше велик дух и цар мишљаше да га постави над свим царством својим.
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.
Тада старешине и управитељи гледаху како би нашли шта да замере Данилу ради царства; али не могаху наћи забаве ни погрешке, јер беше веран, и не налажаше се у њега погрешке ни мане.
5 Therefore, these men said, “We will not find any complaint against this Daniel, unless it is against the law of his God.”
Тада рекоше они људи: Нећемо наћи на тог Данила ништа, ако не нађемо шта на њ ради закона Бога његовог.
6 Then the leaders and governors took the king aside privately and spoke to him in this way: “King Darius, live forever.
Тада дођоше старешине и управитељи к цару, и рекоше му овако: Дарије царе, да си жив довека!
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.
Све старешине у царству, поглавари и управитељи, већници и војводе договорише се да се постави царска наредба и оштра забрана да ко би се год замолио за шта коме год богу или човеку за тридесет дана осим теби, царе, да се баци у јаму лавовску.
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.”
Зато, царе, постави ту забрану и напиши да се не може променити, по закону мидском и персијском, који је непроменљив.
9 And so king Darius set forth the decree and established it.
И цар Дарије написа књигу и забрану.
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.
А Данило кад дозна да је књига написана, отиде својој кући, где беху отворени прозори у његовој соби према Јерусалиму, и падаше на колена своја три пута на дан и мољаше се и хвалу даваше Богу свом као шта чињаше пре.
11 Therefore, these men, inquiring diligently, discovered that Daniel was praying and making supplication to his God.
Тада се сабраше они људи, и нађоше Данила где се моли и припада Богу свом.
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.”
И отидоше те рекоше цару за царску забрану: Ниси ли написао заповест, да ко би се год замолио коме год богу или човеку за тридесет дана, осим теби, царе, да се баци у јаму лавовску? Цар одговори и рече: Тако је по закону мидском и персијском, који је непроменљив.
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.”
Тада одговорише и рекоше цару: Данило, који је између робља Јудина, не хаје за те, царе, ни за забрану коју си написао, него се моли три пута на дан својом молитвом.
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.
Тада цар чувши то ожалости се врло, и науми да избави Данила, и труђаше се до захода сунчаног да га избави.
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.”
Тада они људи сабраше се код цара и рекоше цару: Знај, царе, да је закон у Мидијана и Персијана да се никаква забрана и наредба коју постави цар, не мења.
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.”
Тада цар рече те доведоше Данила и бацише га у јаму лавовску; и цар проговори и рече Данилу: Бог твој, коме без престанка служиш, нека те избави.
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.
И донесоше камен и метнуше јами на врата, и цар га запечати својим прстеном и прстеном својих кнезова да се ништа не промени за Данила.
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.
Тада отиде цар у свој двор, и преноћи не једавши нити допустивши да му се донесе шта чим би се развеселио, и не може заспати.
19 Then the king, getting himself up at first light, went quickly to the den of lions.
Потом цар уста ујутро рано и отиде брже к јами лавовској.
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?”
И кад дође к јами, викну Данила жалосним гласом; и проговори цар и рече Данилу: Данило, слуго Бога Живога, Бог твој, коме служиш без престанка, може ли те избавити од лавова?
21 And Daniel, answering the king, said, “O king, live forever.
Тада Данило рече цару: Царе, да си жив довека!
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.”
Бог мој посла анђела свог и затвори уста лавовима, те ми не наудише; јер се нађох чист пред Њим, а ни теби царе, не учиних зла.
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.
Тада се цар веома обрадова том, и заповеди да изваде Данила из јаме. И извадише Данила из јаме, и не нађе се ране на њему, јер верова Богу свом.
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.
Потом заповеди цар, те доведоше људе који беху оптужили Данила, и бацише у јаму лавовску њих, децу њихову и жене њихове; и још не дођоше на дно јами, а лавови их зграбише и све им кости потрше.
25 Then king Darius wrote to all peoples, tribes, and languages dwelling in all the land. “May peace be increased with you.
Тада цар Дарије писа свим народима и племенима и језицима што живљаху у свој земљи: Мир да вам се умножи.
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.
Од мене је заповест да се у свој држави царства мог свак боји и страши Бога Даниловог, јер је Он Бог живи, који остаје довека, и царство се Његово неће расути, и власт ће Његова бити до краја;
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.”
Он избавља и спасава, и чини знаке и чудеса на небу и на земљи, Он је избавио Данила од силе лавовске.
28 Thereafter, Daniel continued through the reign of Darius until the reign of Cyrus, the Persian.
И тај Данило беше срећан за царовања Даријевог и за царовања Кира Персијанца.
