Daniel 6
1 It pleased Daryavesh to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
Свиде се Дарију те постави над царством сто и педесет управитеља да буду над свим царством;
2 and over them three administrators, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king might not suffer 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 was distinguished above the administrators and the satraps, because an extraordinary spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
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 administrators and the satraps sought to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful. Neither was there any error or fault 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 said, "We will not find any charge against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning 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 administrators and satraps assembled together to the king, and said this to him, "King Daryavesh, live forever.
Тада дођоше старешине и управитељи к цару, и рекоше му овако: Дарије царе, да си жив довека!
7 All the administrators of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the 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, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."
Зато, царе, постави ту забрану и напиши да се не може променити, по закону мидском и персијском, који је непроменљив.
9 Therefore king Daryavesh signed the writing and the decree.
И цар Дарије написа књигу и забрану.
10 When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
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 assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and petition before his God.
Тада се сабраше они људи, и нађоше Данила где се моли и припада Богу свом.
12 Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree. "Haven't you signed a decree, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."
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 answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn't regard you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."
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 heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him. And he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue 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 assembled together to the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may 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 commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, "Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you."
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 A stone was brought, and placed on the opening of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be 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 went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him. And his sleep fled from 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 arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
Потом цар уста ујутро рано и отиде брже к јами лавовској.
20 When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God. Is your God, whom you serve continually, 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 said Daniel to the king, "O king, live forever.
Тада Данило рече цару: Царе, да си жив довека!
22 My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; because before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, have I done no wrong."
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 exceedingly glad, 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 on him, because he had trusted 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 The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
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 king Daryavesh wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you.
Тада цар Дарије писа свим народима и племенима и језицима што живљаху у свој земљи: Мир да вам се умножи.
26 I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. His kingdom shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be 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 He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power 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 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Daryavesh, and in the reign of Koresh the Persian.
И тај Данило беше срећан за царовања Даријевог и за царовања Кира Персијанца.
