< Daniel 6 >
1 It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors to be over his whole kingdom.
Naay-ayo ni Dario a mangdutok iti 120 a gobernador a mangituray iti entero a pagarian.
2 And three princes over them, of whom Daniel was one: that the governors might give an account to them, and the king might have no trouble.
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 And Daniel excelled all the princes, and governors: because a greater spirit of God was in him.
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 And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom: whereupon the princes, and the governors sought to find occasion against Daniel with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was 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 these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning 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 the princes, and the governors craftily suggested to the king, and spoke 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 princes of the kingdom, the magistrates, and governors, the senators, and judges have consulted together, that an imperial decree, and an edict be published: That whosoever shall ask any petition of any god, or man, for thirty days, but of thee, O king, 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, therefore, O king, confirm the sentence, and sign the decree: that what is decreed by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor any man be allowed to transgress it.
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 So king Darius set forth the decree, and established it.
Pinirmaan ngarud ni ari Dario ti kasuratan tapno agbalin a maysa a linteg.
10 Now when Daniel knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored, and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before.
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 Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel praying and making supplication to 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 And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate.
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: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer.
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 Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him and even till sunset he laboured to save 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 But those men perceiving the king’s design, said to him: Know thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree which the king hath made, may be altered.
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 the lions. And the king said to Daniel: Thy God, whom thou always servest, he will deliver 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: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done against 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 And the king went away to his house and laid himself down without taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed 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 rising very early in the morning, went in haste to the lions’ den:
Ket iti parbangon bimmangon a dagus ti ari ket napan iti rukib dagiti leon.
20 And coming near to the den, cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel, and said to him: Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God, whom thou servest always, been able, thinkest thou, to deliver 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 And Daniel answering the king, said: 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 up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath been found in me: yea and before thee, O king, I have done no offence.
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 Then was the king exceeding 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 hurt was found in 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 by the king’s commandment, those men were brought that bad accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions’ den, they and their children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den, before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces.
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 to all people, tribes, and languages, dwelling in the whole 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 It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever.
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 is the deliverer, and saviour, doing signs and wonders in heaven, and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions’ den.
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 Now Daniel continued unto the reign of Darius, and 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.
