< 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,
Свиде се Дарију те постави над царством сто и педесет управитеља да буду над свим царством;
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.
А над њима три старешине, од којих један беше Данило, којима ће управитељи давати рачуне да не би цару било штете.
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.
А тај Данило надвишиваше старешине и управитеље, јер у њему беше велик дух и цар мишљаше да га постави над свим царством својим.
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.
Тада старешине и управитељи гледаху како би нашли шта да замере Данилу ради царства; али не могаху наћи забаве ни погрешке, јер беше веран, и не налажаше се у њега погрешке ни мане.
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.”
Тада рекоше они људи: Нећемо наћи на тог Данила ништа, ако не нађемо шта на њ ради закона Бога његовог.
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!
Тада дођоше старешине и управитељи к цару, и рекоше му овако: Дарије царе, да си жив довека!
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.
Све старешине у царству, поглавари и управитељи, већници и војводе договорише се да се постави царска наредба и оштра забрана да ко би се год замолио за шта коме год богу или човеку за тридесет дана осим теби, царе, да се баци у јаму лавовску.
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.”
Зато, царе, постави ту забрану и напиши да се не може променити, по закону мидском и персијском, који је непроменљив.
9 Therefore King Darius has signed the writing and interdict.
И цар Дарије написа књигу и забрану.
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.
А Данило кад дозна да је књига написана, отиде својој кући, где беху отворени прозори у његовој соби према Јерусалиму, и падаше на колена своја три пута на дан и мољаше се и хвалу даваше Богу свом као шта чињаше пре.
11 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and pleading grace before his God;
Тада се сабраше они људи, и нађоше Данила где се моли и припада Богу свом.
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.”
И отидоше те рекоше цару за царску забрану: Ниси ли написао заповест, да ко би се год замолио коме год богу или човеку за тридесет дана, осим теби, царе, да се баци у јаму лавовску? Цар одговори и рече: Тако је по закону мидском и персијском, који је непроменљив.
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.”
Тада одговорише и рекоше цару: Данило, који је између робља Јудина, не хаје за те, царе, ни за забрану коју си написао, него се моли три пута на дан својом молитвом.
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.
Тада цар чувши то ожалости се врло, и науми да избави Данила, и труђаше се до захода сунчаног да га избави.
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.”
Тада они људи сабраше се код цара и рекоше цару: Знај, царе, да је закон у Мидијана и Персијана да се никаква забрана и наредба коју постави цар, не мења.
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.”
Тада цар рече те доведоше Данила и бацише га у јаму лавовску; и цар проговори и рече Данилу: Бог твој, коме без престанка служиш, нека те избави.
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.
И донесоше камен и метнуше јами на врата, и цар га запечати својим прстеном и прстеном својих кнезова да се ништа не промени за Данила.
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.
Тада отиде цар у свој двор, и преноћи не једавши нити допустивши да му се донесе шта чим би се развеселио, и не може заспати.
19 Then the king rises in the early morning, at the light, and he has gone in haste to the den of lions;
Потом цар уста ујутро рано и отиде брже к јами лавовској.
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?”
И кад дође к јами, викну Данила жалосним гласом; и проговори цар и рече Данилу: Данило, слуго Бога Живога, Бог твој, коме служиш без престанка, може ли те избавити од лавова?
21 Then Daniel has spoken with the king: “O king, live for all ages:
Тада Данило рече цару: Царе, да си жив довека!
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.”
Бог мој посла анђела свог и затвори уста лавовима, те ми не наудише; јер се нађох чист пред Њим, а ни теби царе, не учиних зла.
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.
Тада се цар веома обрадова том, и заповеди да изваде Данила из јаме. И извадише Данила из јаме, и не нађе се ране на њему, јер верова Богу свом.
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.
Потом заповеди цар, те доведоше људе који беху оптужили Данила, и бацише у јаму лавовску њих, децу њихову и жене њихове; и још не дођоше на дно јами, а лавови их зграбише и све им кости потрше.
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!
Тада цар Дарије писа свим народима и племенима и језицима што живљаху у свој земљи: Мир да вам се умножи.
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.
Од мене је заповест да се у свој држави царства мог свак боји и страши Бога Даниловог, јер је Он Бог живи, који остаје довека, и царство се Његово неће расути, и власт ће Његова бити до краја;
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.”
Он избавља и спасава, и чини знаке и чудеса на небу и на земљи, Он је избавио Данила од силе лавовске.
28 And this Daniel has prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
И тај Данило беше срећан за царовања Даријевог и за царовања Кира Персијанца.
