< Daniel 6 >
1 IT pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
И бысть угодно пред царем, и постави во царстве князей сто и двадесять, еже быти им во всем царстве его,
2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
над ними же три чиновники, от нихже бе Даниил един, дабы отдавали им князи слово, яко да царю не стужают.
3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
И бе Даниил над ними, яко дух бяше преизюбилен в нем, и царь постави его над всем царством своим.
4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault 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 said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
И реща чиновницы не обрящем на Даниила вины, аще не в законех Бога его.
6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said 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 presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellers, and the captains, 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, save of thee, O king, he 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, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
ныне убо, царю, устави предел и положи писание, яко да не изменится заповедь Мидска и Персска, (да никтоже преступит ея).
9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Тогда царь Дарий повеле вписати заповедь.
10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
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 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Тогда мужие онии наблюдоша и обретоша Даниила просяща и молящася Богу своему,
12 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save 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 altereth not.
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 answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which 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.
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 Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver 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 Then these men assembled 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.
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 lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, 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; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning 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 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went 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 arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
Тогда царь воста заутра на свете и со тщанием прииде ко рву левску.
20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able 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 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
И рече Даниил цареви: царю, во веки живи:
22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
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 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.
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 the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
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 unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
Тогда Дарий царь написа всем людем, племеном, языком, живущым во всей земли: мир вам да умножится:
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 stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
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 delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
подемлет и избавляет, и творит знамения и чудеса на небеси и на земли, иже избави Даниила от уст львовых.
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Даниил же управляше во царстве Дариеве и во царстве Кира Персянина.
