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.
И бысть угодно пред царем, и постави во царстве князей сто и двадесять, еже быти им во всем царстве его,
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.
над ними же три чиновники, от нихже бе Даниил един, дабы отдавали им князи слово, яко да царю не стужают.
3 And Daniel excelled all the princes, and governors: because a greater spirit of God was in him.
И бе Даниил над ними, яко дух бяше преизюбилен в нем, и царь постави его над всем царством своим.
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.
Чиновницы же и князи искаху вины обрести на Даниила: и всякия вины и соблазна и греха не обретоша на него, яко верен бяше.
5 Then these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning the law of his God.
И реща чиновницы не обрящем на Даниила вины, аще не в законех Бога его.
6 Then the princes, and the governors craftily suggested to the king, and spoke thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever:
Тогда чиновницы и князи предсташа царю и реша ему: Дарие царю, во веки живи:
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.
совещаша вси иже во царстве твоем воеводы и князи, ипати и обладающии странами, еже уставити устав царский и укрепити предел, яко аще кто попросит прошения от всякаго бога и человека до дний тридесяти, разве точию от тебе, царю, да ввержен будет в ров левский:
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.
ныне убо, царю, устави предел и положи писание, яко да не изменится заповедь Мидска и Персска, (да никтоже преступит ея).
9 So king Darius set forth the decree, and established it.
Тогда царь Дарий повеле вписати заповедь.
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.
Даниил же егда уведе, яко заповедь вчинися, вниде в дом свой: дверцы же отверсты ему в горнице его противу Иерусалима, в три же времена дне бяше прекланяя колена своя, моляся и исповедаяся пред Богом своим, якоже бе творя прежде.
11 Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God.
Тогда мужие онии наблюдоша и обретоша Даниила просяща и молящася Богу своему,
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.
и пришедше реша пред царем: царю, не вчинил ли еси ты предела, яко да всяк человек, иже аще попросит у всякаго бога и человека прошения до тридесяти дний, но точию у тебе, царю, да ввержется в ров левск? И рече царь: истинно слово, и заповедь Мидска и Персска не мимоидет.
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.
Тогда отвещаша пред царем и глаголаша: Даниил, иже от сынов плена Иудейска, не покорися заповеди твоей (и не раде) о пределе, егоже вчинил еси: в три бо времена дне просит у Бога своего прошений своих.
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.
Тогда царь, яко слышав слово сие, зело опечалися о нем, и о Данииле пряшеся еже избавити его, и бе даже до вечера пряся еже избавити его.
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.
Тогда мужие онии глаголаша царю: веждь, царю яко Мидом и Персом не леть есть пременити всякаго предела и устава, егоже царь уставит.
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.
Тогда царь рече, и приведоша Даниила и ввергоша его в ров левск. И рече царь Даниилу: Бог твой, Емуже ты служиши присно, Той избавит тя.
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.
И принесоша камень един и возложиша на устие рва, и запечата царь перстнем своим и перстнем вельмож своих, да не изменится деяние о Данииле.
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.
И отиде царь в дом свой и ляже без вечери, и яди не внесоша к нему: и сон отступи от него. И заключи Бог уста львом, и не стужиша Даниилу.
19 Then the king rising very early in the morning, went in haste to the lions’ den:
Тогда царь воста заутра на свете и со тщанием прииде ко рву левску.
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?
И егда приближися ко рву, возопи гласом крепким: Данииле, рабе Бога живаго! Бог твой, Емуже ты служиши присно, возможе ли избавити тя из уст львовых?
21 And Daniel answering the king, said: O king, live for ever:
И рече Даниил цареви: царю, во веки живи:
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.
Бог мой посла Ангела Своего и затвори уста львов, и не вредиша мене, яко обретеся пред Ним правда моя, и пред тобою, царю, согрешения не сотворих.
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.
Тогда царь вельми возвеселися о нем и рече Даниила извести из рва. И изведен бысть Даниил из рва, и всякаго тления не обретеся на нем яко верова в Бога своего.
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.
И рече царь, и приведоша мужы оклеветавшыя Даниила и в ров левск ввергоша я и сыны их и жены их: и не доидоша дна рва, даже соодолеша им львы и вся кости их истончиша.
25 Then king Darius wrote to all people, tribes, and languages, dwelling in the whole earth: PEACE be multiplied unto you.
Тогда Дарий царь написа всем людем, племеном, языком, живущым во всей земли: мир вам да умножится:
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.
от лица моего заповедася заповедь сия во всей земли царства моего, да будут трепещуще и боящеся от лица Бога Даниилова, яко Той есть Бог живый и пребываяй во веки, и царство Его не разсыплется, и власть Его до конца:
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.
подемлет и избавляет, и творит знамения и чудеса на небеси и на земли, иже избави Даниила от уст львовых.
28 Now Daniel continued unto the reign of Darius, and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Даниил же управляше во царстве Дариеве и во царстве Кира Персянина.
