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,
E pareceu bem a Dario constituir sobre o reino a cento e vinte presidentes, que estivessem sobre todo o reino;
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.
E sobre elles tres principes, dos quaes Daniel era um, aos quaes estes presidentes déssem conta, para que o rei não soffresse damno.
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.
Então o mesmo Daniel sobrepujou a estes principes e presidentes; porque n'elle havia um espirito excellente; porquanto o rei pensava constituil-o sobre todo o reino.
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.
Então os principes e os presidentes procuravam achar occasião contra Daniel a respeito do reino; mas não podiam achar occasião ou culpa alguma; porque elle era fiel, e não se achava n'elle nenhum vicio nem culpa.
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.”
Então estes homens disseram: Nunca acharemos occasião alguma contra este Daniel, se não a acharmos contra elle na lei do seu Deus.
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!
Então estes principes e presidentes foram juntos ao rei, e disseram-lhe assim: Ó rei Dario, vive para sempre!
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.
Todos os principes do reino, os prefeitos e presidentes, capitães e governadores, tomaram conselho afim de estabelecerem um edicto real e fazerem um mandamento firme: que qualquer que, por espaço de trinta dias, fizer uma petição a qualquer deus, ou a qualquer homem, e não a ti, ó rei, seja lançado na cova dos leões.
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.”
Agora pois, ó rei, confirma o edicto, e assigna a escriptura, para que não se mude, conforme a lei dos medos e dos persas, que se não pode revogar.
9 Therefore King Darius has signed the writing and interdict.
Por esta causa o rei Dario assignou esta escriptura e edicto.
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.
Daniel, pois, quando soube que a escriptura estava assignada, entrou na sua casa (ora havia no seu quarto janellas abertas da banda de Jerusalem), e tres vezes no dia se punha de joelhos, e orava, e confessava diante do seu Deus, como tambem antes costumava fazer.
11 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and pleading grace before his God;
Então aquelles homens foram juntos, e acharam a Daniel orando e supplicando diante do seu Deus.
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.”
Então se chegaram, e disseram diante do rei: No tocante ao edicto real, porventura não assignaste o edicto, que todo o homem que fizesse uma petição a qualquer deus, ou a qualquer homem, por espaço de trinta dias, e não a ti, ó rei, fosse lançado na cova dos leões? Respondeu o rei, e disse: Esta palavra é certa, conforme a lei dos medos e dos persas, que se não pode revogar.
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.”
Então responderam, e disseram diante do rei: Daniel, que é dos transportados de Judah, não tem feito caso de ti, ó rei, nem do edicto que assignaste, antes tres vezes por dia faz a sua oração.
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.
Ouvindo então o rei o negocio, ficou muito penalisado, e a favor de Daniel propoz dentro do seu coração tiral-o; e até ao pôr do sol trabalhou por o salvar.
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.”
Então aquelles homens se foram juntos ao rei, e disseram ao rei: Sabe, ó rei, que é uma lei dos medos e dos persas que nenhum edicto ou ordenança, que o rei determine, se pode mudar.
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.”
Então o rei ordenou que trouxessem a Daniel, e o lançaram na cova dos leões. E, fallando o rei, disse a Daniel: O teu Deus, a quem tu continuamente serves, elle te livrará.
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.
E foi trazida uma pedra, e foi posta sobre a bocca da cova; e o rei a sellou com o seu annel e com o annel dos seus grandes, para que se não mudasse a sentença ácerca de Daniel.
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.
Então o rei se foi para o seu palacio, e passou a noite em jejum, e não deixou trazer á sua presença instrumentos de musica; e fugiu d'elle o somno.
19 Then the king rises in the early morning, at the light, and he has gone in haste to the den of lions;
Então o rei se levantou pela manhã cedo, e foi com pressa á cova dos leões.
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?”
E, chegando-se á cova, chamou por Daniel com voz triste; e, fallando o rei, disse a Daniel: Daniel, servo do Deus vivo! dar-se-hia o caso que o teu Deus, a quem tu continuamente serves, te podesse livrar dos leões?
21 Then Daniel has spoken with the king: “O king, live for all ages:
Então Daniel fallou ao rei: Ó rei, vive para sempre!
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.”
O meu Deus enviou o seu anjo, e fechou a bocca dos leões, para que não me fizessem damno, porque foi achada em mim innocencia diante d'elle; e tambem contra ti, ó rei, não tenho commettido delicto algum.
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.
Então o rei muito se alegrou em si mesmo, e mandou tirar a Daniel da cova: assim foi tirado Daniel da cova, e nenhum damno se achou n'elle, porque crêra no seu Deus.
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.
Então ordenou o rei, e foram trazidos aquelles homens que tinham accusado a Daniel, e foram lançados na cova dos leões, elles, seus filhos e suas mulheres; e ainda não tinham chegado ao fundo da cova quando os leões se apoderaram d'elles, e lhes esmigalharam todos os ossos.
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!
Então o rei Dario escreveu a todos os povos, nações e linguas que moram em toda a terra: A paz vos seja multiplicada.
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.
Da minha parte é feito um decreto, que em todo o dominio do meu reino tremam todos e temam perante o Deus de Daniel; porque elle é o Deus vivo e permanecente para sempre, e o seu reino não se pode destruir, e o seu dominio dura até ao fim
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.”
Elle faz escapar e livra, e faz signaes e maravilhas no céu e na terra, o qual fez escapar a Daniel do poder dos leões.
28 And this Daniel has prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Este Daniel, pois, prosperava no reinado de Dario, e no reinado de Cyro, o persa.
