< Daniel 6 >

1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be in all the kingdom;
Naay-ayo ni Dario a mangdutok iti 120 a gobernador a mangituray iti entero a pagarian.
2 and over these, three presidents — of whom Daniel was one — to whom these satraps should render account, and that the king should suffer no loss.
Iti ngatoenda ket adda iti tallo a kangatoan nga administrador, ket ni Daniel ti maysa kadakuada. Nadutokan dagitoy a kangatoan nga administrador tapno mangiwanwan kadagiti gobernador ti probinsia, tapno saan a mapukawan ti ari.
3 Now this Daniel surpassed the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to appoint him over the whole realm.
Ad-adda a mabigbigbig ni Daniel ngem kadagiti dadduma a kangatoan nga administrador ken dagiti gobernador ti probinsia gapu ta addaan isuna iti naisangsangayan nga espiritu. Pangpanggepen ti ari nga isaad isuna a mangimaton iti entero a pagarian.
4 Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a pretext against Daniel with respect to the kingdom; but they could not find any pretext or fault; inasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
Ket nangsapul dagiti dadduma a kangatoan nga administrador ken dagiti gobernador iti probinsia iti biddut iti trabaho nga inaramid ni Daniel para iti pagarian, ngem awan iti masarakanda a kinakillo wenno pagkurangan iti trabahona gapu ta napudno isuna. Awan iti biddut wenno panangbaybay-an a masarakan kenkuana.
5 Then said these men, We shall not find any pretext against this Daniel, unless we find [it] against him touching the law of his God.
Ket kinuna dagitoy a lallaki, “Awan ti masapulantayo a rason tapno idarum daytoy a Daniel malaksid no makasaraktayo iti maysa a banag a maibusor kenkuana maipapan iti linteg ti Diosna.”
6 Then these presidents and satraps came in a body to the king, and said thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever!
Ket nangiyeg dagitoy nga administrador ken dagiti gobernador iti maysa a panggep iti sangoanan ti ari. Kinunada kenkuana, “O Ari Dario, agbiagka koma iti agnanayon!
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Amin dagiti kangatoan nga administrador ti pagarian, dagiti gobernador ti rehion, dagiti gobernador ti probinsia, dagiti mammagbaga, ken dagiti gobernador ket sangsangkamaysada a nagtutungtong ken nangikeddeng a sika nga ari, ket masapul a mangipaulogka iti maysa a linteg ken masapul a maipatungpal daytoy, tapno ti siasinoman nga agdawat iti siasinoman a didiosen wenno tao iti las-ud iti tallopulo nga aldaw, malaksid kenka, O ari, masapul a maipuruak dayta a tao iti rukib dagiti leon.
8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.
Ita, O ari, mangipaulogka iti maysa a linteg ket pirmaam ti kasuratan tapno saan a mabaliwan daytoy, kas mayannurot kadagiti paglintegan dagiti taga-Medo ken taga-Persia, tapno saanen a maibabawi daytoy.”
9 Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Pinirmaan ngarud ni ari Dario ti kasuratan tapno agbalin a maysa a linteg.
10 And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and, his windows being open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
Idi naammoan ni Daniel a napirmaan ti kasuratan tapno agbalin a linteg, nagawid isuna (ita, dagiti tawana ket nakalukat iti akinngato a siledna a nakaturong iti Jerusalem) ket nagparintumeng isuna, kas iti ar-aramidenna iti mamitlo a daras iti tunggal aldaw, ket nagkararag ken nagyaman iti sangoanan ti Diosna, kas iti sigud nga ar-aramidenna.
11 But those men came in a body, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Ket dagitoy a lallaki a sangsangkamaysa a nagpanggep iti dakes ket nakitada ni Daniel nga agdawdawat ken agpakpakaasi iti tulong manipud iti Dios.
12 Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree: Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [anything] of any god or man within thirty days, except of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.
Ket napanda iti ari ket nakisaritada kenkuana maipapan iti lintegna: “Saan kadi a nangaramidka iti linteg a ti siasinoman nga agdawat iti siasinoman a dios wenno tao bayat kadagiti sumaruno a tallopulo nga aldaw, malaksid kenka, O ari, ket masapul a maipurruak iti rukib dagiti leon?” Simmungbat ti ari, “Naikeddengen dayta a banag kas mayannurot iti paglintegan dagiti taga-Medo ken taga-Pesia; saanen a maibabawi daytoy.”
13 Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
Ket insungbatda iti ari, “Dayta a tao a ni Daniel, maysa kadagiti tattao a naitalaw a kas balud manipud iti Juda, ket saannaka nga ipangpangag, O ari, wenno ti linteg a pinirmaam. Agkarkararag isuna iti Diosna iti mamitlo a daras iti tunggal aldaw.”
14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore distressed thereby, and set his heart on Daniel to save him; and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
Idi nangngeg ti ari daytoy, nariribukan unay isuna, ket pinanggepna nga isalakan ni Daniel manipud iti daytoy a linteg. Nagtrabaho isuna agingga iti ililinnek iti init tapno padasenna nga isalakan ni Daniel.
15 Then these men came in a body unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
Ket naguummong dagitoy a lallaki a nagpanggep iti dakes a kadauda ti ari ket kinunada kenkuana, “Ammoem, O ari, a daytoy ket paglintegan dagiti taga-Medo ken taga-Persia, nga awan ti linteg wenno annuroten nga impaulog ti ari ti mabalin a baliwan.”
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast [him] into the den of lions. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will save thee.
Ket nangibilin ti ari, ket inyunegda ni Daniel, ket impurruakda isuna iti rukib dagiti leon. Kinuna ti ari kenni Daniel, “Ispalennaka koma ti Diosmo, nga agtultuloy a pagserserbiam.”
17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his nobles, that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
Naipan ti maysa a bato iti pagserrekan ti rukib, ket sinelyoan ti ari daytoy iti bukodna a pangselyo a singsing ken iti pangselyo a singsing dagiti ofisialesna tapno iti kasta ket awan ti mabaliwan maipapan kenni Daniel.
18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were concubines brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
Ket nagawid ti ari iti palasiona ket nagpatpatnag a nagayunar. Awan iti pangliwliwa a tokar a naipan iti sangoananna, ket saan a makaturog isuna.
19 Then the king arose with the light at break of day, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
Ket iti parbangon bimmangon a dagus ti ari ket napan iti rukib dagiti leon.
20 And when he came near unto the den, he cried with a mournful voice unto Daniel: the king spoke and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God whom thou servest continually been able to save thee from the lions?
Bayat nga umas-asideg isuna iti rukib, inawaganna ni Daniel babaen iti timek a napnoan saem. Kinunana kenni Daniel, “Daniel, nga adipen ti sibibiag a Dios, Insalakannaka kadi manipud kadagiti leon ti Diosmo nga agtultuloy a pagserserbiam?”
21 Then Daniel spoke unto the king, O king, live for ever!
Ket kinuna ni Daniel iti ari, “O ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon!
22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Imbaon ti Diosko ti mensaherona ket inserrana dagiti ngiwat dagiti leon, ket saandak a dinangran. Ta nasarakandak nga awan mulitna iti sangoananna ken kasta met iti sangoanam, O ari, ket awan ti inaramidko a pakadangram.”
23 Thereupon was the king exceeding 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 upon him, because he believed in his God.
Ket kasta unay ti ragsak ti ari. Imbilinna a rumbeng nga iruarda ni Daniel iti rukib. Isu a naiyaon ni Daniel iti rukib. Saan isuna a nadangran, gapu ta nagtalek isuna iti Diosna.
24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces ere they came to the bottom of the den.
Imbilin ti ari, ket inyegda dagiti lallaki a nangpabasol kenni Daniel ket impurruakda ida iti rukib dagiti leon—isuda, dagiti annakda ken dagiti assawada. Sakbay nga agdissoda iti lansad ti rukib, sinikbab ida dagiti leon ket tinuktukkolda dagiti amin a tultulangda.
25 Then king Darius wrote unto all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
Ket nagsurat ni ari Dario kadagiti amin a tattao, kadagiti nasion, ken kadagiti pagsasao nga agnanaed iti entero a daga: “Maadda koma ti talna kadakayo.
26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
Iblibilnko kadagiti amin a maiturayan ti pagariak nga agpigerger ken agbuteng dagiti tattao iti sangoanan ti Dios ni Daniel, ta sibibiag isuna a Dios ken agbiag iti agnanayon, ket saanto a madadael ti pagarianna; ti pagturayanna ket agingga iti panungpalan.
27 He saveth and delivereth, and he worketh signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth: who hath saved Daniel from the power of the lions.
Ikanawana ken ispalennatayo, ket mangar-aramid isuna kadagiti pagilasinan ken pagsidsiddaawan iti langit ken iti daga; pinagbalinna a natalged ni daniel manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti leon.”
28 And this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Isu a rimmang-ay ni Daniel kabayatan ti panagturay ni Dario ken kabayatan ti panagturay ni Ciro a taga-Persia.
