Daniel 6
1 It pleased Daryavesh to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole 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 administrators, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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."
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 these administrators and satraps assembled together to the king, and said this to him, "King Daryavesh, live forever.
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 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.
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, 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."
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 Therefore king Daryavesh signed the writing and the decree.
Boye, mokonzi Dariusi akomaki mokano oyo azwaki mpo ete babongola yango te mpe atiaki mokoloto na mokano yango.
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.
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 assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and petition before his God.
Bongo, bato yango bakendeki lisanga mpe bakutaki Daniele azali kobondela mpe kosenga lisungi epai ya Nzambe na ye.
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."
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, "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."
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 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.
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 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."
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. Now the king spoke and 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 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.
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 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.
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 went in haste to the den of lions.
Na tongo-tongo, mokonzi atelemaki mpe akendeki na lombangu na libulu ya bankosi.
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?"
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 Then said Daniel to the king, "O king, live forever.
Daniele azongiselaki ye: — Oh mokonzi, tika ete owumela na bomoi seko na seko!
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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 Daryavesh wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: "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 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.
Napesi mitindo ete, na bituka nyonso ya mokili na ngai, bato nyonso batosa mpe bapesa Nzambe ya Daniele lokumu.
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."
Akangolaka mpe abikisaka,
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Daryavesh, and in the reign of Koresh the Persian.
Daniele akomaki moto ya lokumu na tango Dariusi azalaki mokonzi mpe na tango ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya bato ya Persi.
