Daniel 6
1 It has been good before Darius, and he has established over the kingdom satraps—one hundred and twenty—that they may be throughout the whole kingdom,
Dariyis deside chwazi sanven (120) prefè li mete chèf nan tout peyi a.
2 and three presidents higher than they, of whom Daniel [is] first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss.
Lèfini, li chwazi Danyèl ak de lòt moun li mete alatèt prefè yo. Reskonsablite yo se te kontwole travay prefè yo pou yo te ka defann enterè wa a.
3 Then this Daniel has been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit [is] in him, and the king has thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.
Danyèl sa a te fè travay li pi byen pase tout lòt gwo chèf ak prefè yo paske li te gen lespri pase yo. Se konsa wa a te fè lide mete l' reskonsab tout peyi a.
4 Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he [is] faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him.
Lè sa a, lòt gwo chèf yo ansanm ak prefè yo t'ap chache yon okazyon pou yo antrave Danyèl nan travay leta a. Men, yo pa t' ka jwenn anyen pou yo repwoche l' sitèlman Danyèl te yon nonm serye nan tou sa l'ap fè. Li pa t' pote ankenn neglijans ni pa t' gen ankenn mank nan travay li.
5 Then these men are saying, “We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found [it] against him in the Law of his God.”
Lè sa a yonn di lòt: -Nou pa ka jwenn anyen ki mal nan travay Danyèl ap fè a. Ann chache nan jan l'ap sèvi Bondye l' la.
6 Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: “O King Darius, live for all ages!
Se konsa yo kouri al jwenn wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Wa Dariyis, nou mande pou bondye yo ba ou lavi pou lontan ankò!
7 Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counselors, and the governors, to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict, that any who seeks a petition from any god and man until thirty days, except of you, O king, is cast into a den of lions.
Tout gwo chèf nan peyi a ansanm ak prefè yo, gouvènè yo, minis yo ak lòt chèf yo, nou tout, nou dakò pou wa a pase yon lòd sevè ki mande pou tout moun lapriyè nan pye wa a ase pandan trant jou. Nenpòt moun ki ta dezobeyi lòd sa a, epi ki ta lapriyè nan pye yon bondye osinon yon lòt moun pandan tan sa a, se pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou lyon yo.
8 Now, O king, you establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and Persia, that does not pass away.”
Monwa, nou mande ou pou fè ekri lòd sa a, lèfini pou ou siyen l'. Konsa, dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès la, yo pa t' ka chanje anyen ladan l', tout moun fèt pou koube devan l'.
9 Therefore King Darius has signed the writing and interdict.
Se konsa, wa Dariyis siyen lòd la.
10 And Daniel, when he has known that the writing is signed, has gone up to his house, and the window being opened for him, in his upper chamber, toward Jerusalem, three times in a day he is kneeling on his knees, and praying, and confessing before his God, because that he was doing [it] before this.
Lè Danyèl vin konnen wa a te siyen lòd sa a, li al lakay li. Te gen yon chanm anwo sou teras la ak yon fennèt ki bay nan direksyon lavil Jerizalèm. Li moute, li mete ajenou devan fennèt la ki te louvri, li lapriyè Bondye l' jan li te toujou fè, twa fwa pa jou a.
11 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and pleading grace before his God;
Mesye yo vini, yo wè Danyèl ki t'ap lapriyè nan pye Bondye l' la.
12 then they have come near, indeed, they are saying before the king concerning the king’s interdict: “Have you not signed an interdict, that any man who seeks from any god and man until thirty days, except of you, O king, is cast into a den of lions?” The king has answered and said, “The thing [is] certain as a law of Media and Persia, that does not pass away.”
Yo tout al jwenn wa a epi yo di l': -Monwa, èske ou pa t' siyen yon lwa ki te mande pou tout moun lapriyè nan pye ou ase pandan trant jou? Nenpòt moun yo ta jwenn ap lapriyè yon bondye osinon yon lòt moun pandan tan sa a, se pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou lyon an, pa vre? Wa a reponn: -Lòd la bay dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès la ki pa ka chanje.
13 Then they have answered, indeed, they are saying before the king, that, “Daniel, who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, has not placed on you, O king, [any] regard, nor on the interdict that you have signed, and three times in a day he is seeking his petition.”
Lè sa a, mesye yo di wa a: -Danyèl, yonn nan moun Jida yo te depòte isit yo, pa okipe ou menm, monwa. Li pa respekte lòd ou te bay la. Twa fwa pa jou, l'ap lapriyè lapriyè l'!
14 Then the king, when he has heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he has set the heart to deliver him, and until the going up of the sun he was arranging to deliver him.
Lè wa a tande sa, sa te fè l' lapenn anpil, li di nan kè l' se pou l' sove Danyèl. Jouk solèy kouche li t'ap chache yon jan pou l' fè kichòy pou Danyèl.
15 Then these men have assembled near the king, and are saying to the king, “Know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia [is] that any interdict and statute that the king establishes is not to be changed.”
Mesye yo tounen kay wa a ankò, epi yo di l': -Monwa, pa bliye. Dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès, depi wa a fin siyen yon lòd, se fini.
16 Then the king has spoken, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast [him] into a den of lions. The king has answered and said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you are serving continually, delivers you Himself.”
Se konsa, wa a bay lòd pou yo pran Danyèl, pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou kote lyon yo ye a. Li di Danyèl konsa: -Mwen mande pou Bondye w'ap sèvi san dezanpare a delivre ou!
17 And a stone has been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king has sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose is not changed concerning Daniel.
Yo pote yon gwo wòch. Yo mete l' anwo bouch twou a pou fèmen l'. Lèfini, yo mete sele sou li, wa a siyen l' ansanm ak lòt chèf yo. Konsa, pesonn pa ta ka vin sove Danyèl.
18 Then the king has gone to his palace, and he has passed the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before him, and his sleep has fled [from] off him.
Apre sa, wa a tounen nan palè a. Jou swa sa a li pa manje, li pa fè chache ankenn nan fanm kay li yo. Li pase nwit lan san l' pa fèmen je l'.
19 Then the king rises in the early morning, at the light, and he has gone in haste to the den of lions;
Nan maten, lè bajou kase, wa a leve, li kouri al bò twou lyon an.
20 and at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a grieved voice, he cries. The king has answered and said to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God, whom you are serving continually, is He able to deliver you from the lions?”
Lè li rive, li pwoche bò bouch twou a. Kè l' te sere lè li rele Danyèl, li di: -Danyèl, sèvitè Bondye vivan an, èske Bondye w'ap sèvi san dezanpare a te rive delivre ou anba lyon yo?
21 Then Daniel has spoken with the king: “O king, live for all ages:
Danyèl pale, li di wa a: -Se pou Bondye bay monwa lavi pou lontan ankò!
22 my God has sent His messenger, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity has been found in me; and also before you, O king, injury I have not done.”
Bondye mwen an voye zanj li, li fèmen bouch lyon yo pou yo pa fè m' anyen. Li fè sa paske li konnen mwen inonsan. Epi ou menm tou, monwa, ou konnen m' pa fè ou anyen ki mal, pa vre?
23 Then was the king very glad for him, and he has commanded Daniel to be taken up out of the den, and Daniel has been taken up out of the den, and no injury has been found in him, because he has believed in his God.
Wa a te kontan anpil. Li bay lòd pou yo rale Danyèl soti nan twou a mete l' deyò. Lè yo rale msye soti, yo wè lyon yo pa t' grafiyen l' menm, paske li te mete konfyans li nan Bondye l'.
24 And the king has spoken, and they have brought those men who had accused Daniel, and to the den of lions they have cast them, they, their sons, and their wives; and they have not come to the lower part of the den until the lions have power over them, and all their bones they have broken small.
Lè sa a, wa a bay lòd pou y' al arete tout moun ki te vin akize Danyèl yo. Li fè jete yo tout nan gwo twou lyon an ansanm ak madanm yo ak pitit yo. Yo pa t' ankò rive atè nan twou a, lyon yo te gen tan vare sou yo, kraze tout zo nan kò yo.
25 Then Darius the king has written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: “Your peace be great!
Apre sa, wa Dariyis ekri yon lèt voye bay tout moun sou latè, moun tout peyi, moun tout ras ki pale tout kalite lang. Li di yo: -Mwen mande pou nou viv ak anpil kè poze!
26 From before me a decree is made, that in every dominion of my kingdom they are trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for He [is] the living God, and abiding for all ages, and His kingdom that which [is] not destroyed, and His dominion [is] to the end.
Men lòd mwen bay pou tout peyi ki sou zòd mwen: Se pou tout moun gen krentif pou Bondye Danyèl la. Se pou yo respekte l'. Se yon Bondye vivan li ye! Se li menm ki chèf pou tout tan! Gouvènman li p'ap janm tonbe. Pouvwa li p'ap janm fini.
27 A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth [is] He who has delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.”
Li sove, li delivre, li fè bèl bagay ak gwo mirak nan syèl la ak sou latè. Li sove Danyèl, li pa kite lyon yo devore l'!
28 And this Daniel has prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Zafè Danyèl te mache byen pandan tout rèy wa Dariyis ak wa Siris, moun peyi Pès la.
