Daniel 6
1 And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;
Dariusi amonaki ete ezali malamu kotia bayangeli nkama moko na tuku mibale mpo na kokamba mokili mobimba ya bokonzi.
2 and over them three governors, of whom one was, Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the king should not be troubled.
Atiaki lisusu bakalaka misato ya lokumu lokola bakonzi na bango; Daniele azalaki moko kati na bakalaka yango ya lokumu. Bazalaki kokamba misala ya bayangeli ya bituka mpo ete mokonzi anyokwama te.
3 And Daniel was over them, for [there was] an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom.
Nzokande, Daniele amonisaki bokeseni kati na ye, bakalaka ya lokumu mpe bayangeli oyo mokonzi atiaki kati na bituka, mpo na mayele na ye oyo eleka ndelo. Boye, mokonzi akanisaki kotombola ye mpo ete akamba mokili na ye mobimba ya bokonzi.
4 Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful.
Bakalaka ya lokumu mpe bayangeli oyo mokonzi atiaki na bituka bazalaki koluka likambo ya kofundela Daniele na ndenge na ye ya kotambolisa makambo ya bokonzi. Kasi balongaki te kozwa ata likambo moko to mbeba ya kofundela Daniele, mpo ete azalaki sembo mpe mpo ete, kati na ye, bazalaki komona ata libunga te to mbeba moko te ya kofundela ye.
5 And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.
Boye, bato yango balobaki: — Tokotikala komona likambo ata moko te ya kofundela moto oyo, Daniele; loba nde toluka yango kati na mobeko ya Nzambe na ye.
6 Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.
Bakalaka ya lokumu mpe bayangeli oyo mokonzi atiaki na bituka bakendeki lisanga epai ya mokonzi mpe balobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi Dariusi awumela na bomoi seko na seko!
7 All who preside over your kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
Bakalaka ya lokumu, bakalaka oyo babatelaka biloko ya mokonzi, bayangeli oyo mokonzi atiaki na bituka, bapesi toli mpe bayangeli, bango nyonso bandimaki ete mokonzi azwa mokano moko mpe abetela yango sete: « Na mikolo tuku misato oyo ezali koya, moto nyonso asengeli kosambela kaka mokonzi; moto oyo akomeka kosambela nzambe to moto mosusu, basengeli kobwaka ye kati na libulu ya bankosi. »
8 Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed.
Sik’oyo, oh mokonzi, zwa mokano yango, koma yango na mokanda mpe tia mokoloto mpo ete babongola yango te, kolanda mibeko ya bato ya Medi mpe ya Persi oyo bakoki kobongola te.
9 Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written.
Boye, mokonzi Dariusi akomaki mokano oyo azwaki mpo ete babongola yango te mpe atiaki mokoloto na mokano yango.
10 And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before.
Tango Daniele asosolaki ete sango ya mokano yango esili kopanzana, akotaki na ndako na ye, amataki na etaje mpe akotaki na shambre oyo maninisa na yango etala na ngambo ya Yelusalemi; mbala misato na mokolo, azalaki kofukama mpo na kosambela mpe kopesa matondi epai ya Nzambe na ye, ndenge kaka azalaki kosala liboso.
11 Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God.
Bongo, bato yango bakendeki lisanga mpe bakutaki Daniele azali kobondela mpe kosenga lisungi epai ya Nzambe na ye.
12 And they came and said to the king, O king, has you not made a decree, that whatever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass.
Mbala moko, bakendeki epai ya mokonzi mpo na kosolola na ye na tina na mokano oyo azwaki: — Mokonzi, opanzaki sango te ya mokano oyo ozwaki, ete na mikolo tuku misato oyo ekolanda, moto nyonso asengeli kosambela kaka yo, mokonzi; bongo moto oyo akosambela nzambe to moto mosusu, basengeli kobwaka ye kati na libulu ya bankosi? Mokonzi azongisaki: — Ezali penza bongo! Mokano ezali ndenge kaka ekatamaki, kolanda mibeko ya bato ya Medi mpe ya Persi, oyo bakoki kobongola te.
13 Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to your decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.
Balobaki lisusu na mokonzi: — Daniele, moko kati na bawumbu oyo bawutaki na Yuda, azali kotosa yo te, ezala mokano oyo okomaki na mokanda mpe otiaki mokoloto; azali kokoba kaka kosambela mbala misato na mokolo.
14 Then the king, when he heard the saying, was much grieved for Daniel and he greatly exerted himself for Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver him.
Tango mokonzi ayokaki bongo, esalaki ye pasi makasi na motema; boye azwaki mokano ya kokangola Daniele; mpe kino na pokwa, azalaki kaka koluka ndenge nini kobikisa ye.
15 Then those men said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that we must not change any decree of statue which the king shall make.
Kasi bato yango bakendeki lisusu lisanga epai ya mokonzi Dariusi mpe balobaki na ye: — Mokonzi, kobosana te ete mobeko ya bato ya Medi mpe ya Persi elobi ete mokano moko te to mobeko moko te ya mokonzi ekoki kobongolama.
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.
Boye, mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete bamema Daniele mpe babwaka ye kati na libulu ya bankosi. Mokonzi alobaki na Daniele: — Nzambe na yo, oyo osalelaka na molende, akobikisa yo!
17 And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed [it] with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel.
Bamemaki libanga moko ya monene mpe batiaki yango na monoko ya libulu ya bankosi. Mokonzi abetaki yango kashe na nzela ya lopete na ye mpe na nzela ya lopete ya bato na ye ya lokumu, mpo ete babongola eloko moko te na etumbu oyo bakateli Daniele.
18 And the king departed to his house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they not molest Daniel.
Sima na yango, mokonzi azongaki na ndako na ye; mpe, butu mobimba, aliaki te, avandaki elongo na bamakangu te mpe atikalaki kozwa pongi te.
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in have to the den of lions.
Na tongo-tongo, mokonzi atelemaki mpe akendeki na lombangu na libulu ya bankosi.
20 And when he drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lion's mouth?
Tango akomaki pene ya libulu yango, abengaki Daniele na mongongo ya mawa: — Daniele, mosali na Nzambe na bomoi! Boni, Nzambe na yo, oyo osalelaka na molende, alongi kokangola yo na minoko ya bankosi?
21 And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.
Daniele azongiselaki ye: — Oh mokonzi, tika ete owumela na bomoi seko na seko!
22 My God has sent his angel, and stopped the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before you, O king, I have committed no trespass.
Nzambe na ngai atindaki anjelu na Ye mpo ete akanga bankosi minoko; boye, esalaki ngai mabe ata moko te, mpo ete natambolaki mabe te na miso na Ye, mpe nasalaki mabe ata moko te liboso na yo, mokonzi.
23 Then the king was very glad for him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he believed in his God.
Mokonzi asepelaki makasi mpe apesaki mitindo ete babimisa Daniele wuta na libulu. Boye, babimisaki Daniele wuta na libulu mpe bamonaki ata pota moko te na nzoto na ye, pamba te azalaki na elikya na Nzambe na ye.
24 And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete bamema bato oyo bafundaki Daniele mpe babwaka bango elongo na basi mpe bana na bango kati na libulu ya bankosi. Liboso ete bamikomela na se ya libulu, bankosi epumbwelaki bango mpe ebukaki bango mikuwa nyonso.
25 Then king Darius wrote to all nations, tribes, [and] languages, who dwell in all the earth, [saying], Peace be multiplied to you.
Bongo, mokonzi Dariusi akomelaki bato ya bikolo nyonso mpe ya nkota nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda na mokili mobimba: Natombeli bino kimia monene!
26 This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that [men] tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living and eternal God, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion is for ever.
Napesi mitindo ete, na bituka nyonso ya mokili na ngai, bato nyonso batosa mpe bapesa Nzambe ya Daniele lokumu.
27 He helps and delivers, and works signs and wonders in the heaven and on the earth, who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.
Akangolaka mpe abikisaka,
28 And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Daniele akomaki moto ya lokumu na tango Dariusi azalaki mokonzi mpe na tango ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya bato ya Persi.
