Daniel 6
1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty satraps, which should be throughout the whole kingdom;
Sitrak’ i Dariosa ny hanendry solo-mpanjaka roa-polo amby zato hanapaka ny fanjakana, izay hanapaka ny fanjakana rehetra.
2 and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.
Koa tamin’ ireo dia nisy komandy lehibe telo lahy, ary Daniela no anankiray tamin’ ireo, mba hilazan’ ny solo-mpanjaka ny raharaha tsy hahafatiantoka ny mpanjaka.
3 Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Izany Daniela izany dia nihoatra noho ny komandy lehibe sy ny solo-mpanjaka namany, fa nanam-panahy hendry izy; ary ny mpanjaka nikasa hanandratra azy ho lehibe amin’ ny fanjakana rehetra.
4 Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
Koa ny komandy lehibe sy ny solo-mpanjaka dia nitady izay hiampangany an’ i Daniela ny amin’ ny fanjakana, nefa tsy nahita izay hiampangany azy na izay tsininy akory ireo, satria marina izy, ka tsy nisy kilema na tsiny hita taminy.
5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Dia hoy ireo lehilahy ireo: Tsy ho hitantsika izay hiampangantsika io Daniela io raha tsy ny amin’ ny lalan’ Andriamaniny no misy hitantsika hiampangana azy.
6 Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
Dia somaritaka nivory ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka ireo komandy lehibe sy solo-mpanjaka ireo; ary izao no nataony taminy: Ry Dariosa mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao.
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Ny komandy lehibe rehetra amin’ ny fanjakana sy ny mpanapaka sy ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny mpanolo-tsaina ary ny governora dia mifanara-kevitra fa tokony hanao lalàna sy didy mafy ianao, ry mpanjaka, ka na zovy na zovy no hanao fangatahana ato anatin’ ny telo-polo andro, na amin’ Andriamanitra na amin’ olona, afa-tsy aminao ihany, ry mpanjaka ô, dia hatsipy ao an-davaky ny liona izy.
8 Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Ankehitriny, ry mpanjaka ô, ataovy mafy ny lalàna, ka asio sonia mba tsy hiova, araka ny lalàn’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana izay tsy azo ovana.
9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.
Ary noho izany dia nasian’ i Dariosa mpanjaka sonia izany lalàna sy didy izany.
10 And 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 upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
Nony fantatr’ i Daniela fa efa voaisy sonia ny didy, dia nankao an-tranony izy; ary ny varavarankelin’ ny tranony ambony nanandrify an’ i Jerosalema dia nivoha. Koa intelo isan’ andro no nandohalika ka nivavaka sy nisaotra teo anatrehan’ Andriamaniny izy, satria fanaony hatramin’ ny taloha izany.
11 Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
Dia somaritaka nivory ireo lehilahy ireo ka nahita an’ i Daniela mangataka sy mifona eo anatrehan’ Andriamaniny.
12 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s interdict; Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Dia nanatona izy ka niteny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka noho ny amin’ ilay lalàn’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Moa tsy misy lalàna nasianao sonia fa na zovy na zovy no hanao fangatahana, na amin’ Andriamanitra na amin’ olona, ato anatin’ ny telo-polo andro afa-tsy aminao ihany, ry mpanjaka ô, dia hatsipy ao an-davaky ny liona? Ny mpanjaka namaly ka nanao hoe: Marina izany, dia araka ny lalàn’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana izay tsy azo ovana.
13 Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
Dia niteny ireo ka nanao teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Ilay Daniela, isan’ ny babo avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, dia tsy manaiky anao, na ny lalàna izay nasianao sonia, ry mpanjaka ô, fa manao fangatahana intelo isan’ andro izy.
14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to rescue him.
Dia tezitra indrindra ny mpanjaka, raha nahare izany teny izany, nefa matiny ihany izy ny hanafaka an’ i Daniela, ka nanao izay tratry ny heviny hamonjy azy mandra-pilentiky ny masoandro.
15 Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
Dia somaritaka nivory ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka ireo lehilahy ireo ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Aoka ho fantatrao, ry mpanjaka, fa izao no lalàn’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana: Ny lalàna sy ny didy izay efa navoaky ny mpanjaka dia tsy azo ovana.
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
Dia nandidy ny mpanjaka; ary nentina Daniela ka natsipy tao an-davaky ny liona. Dia niteny ny mpanjaka ka nanao tamin’ i Daniela hoe: Andriamanitrao Izay tompoinao mandrakariva anie hamonjy anao.
17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth 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.
Ary nisy vato natampina ny vava-lavaka; ary ny mpanjaka nanomboka izany tamin’ ny fanombohan-kaseny sy tamin’ ny fanombohan-kasen’ ny andriandahiny, mba tsy hovana ny teny ny amin’ i Daniela.
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.
Dia nody tany an-dapany ny mpanjaka ary tsy nitendry hanina mandritra ny alina, sady tsy nisy zava-maneno nampidirina teo anatrehany, ary tsy nahita torimaso izy.
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
Dia nifoha maraina koa ny mpanjaka ka nandeha faingana ho any amin’ ny lavaky ny liona.
20 And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice: the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
Ary nony tonga teo amin’ ny lavaka izy, dia niantso an’ i Daniela tamin’ ny feo malahelo; eny, niteny ny mpanjaka ka nanao tamin’ i Daniela hoe: Ry Daniela, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra velona ô, moa Andriamanitrao Izay tompoinao mandrakariva mahavonjy anao amin’ ny liona va?
21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
Namaly ny mpanjaka Daniela hoe: Ry mpanjaka, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao.
22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Andriamanitro efa naniraka ny anjeliny ka nanakombona ny vavan’ ny liona tsy handratra ahy, satria fahamarinana no hitany tamiko; ary teo anatrehanao koa, ry mpanjaka ô, tsy nanao ratsy aho.
23 Then was the king exceeding 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 upon him, because he had trusted in his God.
Dia faly indrindra ny mpanjaka, ka nasainy nakarina avy ao an-davaka Daniela. Dia nakarina avy tao an-davaka Daniela, ary tsy hita nisy naratra izy, satria nino an’ Andriamaniny.
24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy, ka nentina ireo lehilahy niampanga an’ i Daniela ireo, dia natsipy tao an-davaky ny liona izy mbamin’ ny vadiny aman-janany, ary ny liona nanan-kery taminy ka nanapatapaka ny taolany, raha tsy mbola nipaka tamin’ ny vodin’ ny lavaka akory aza izy.
25 Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
Tamin’ izany Dariosa mpanjaka dia nanoratra ho amin’ ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena sy ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra izay monina ambonin’ ny tany rehetra hoe: Hitombo anie ny fiadananareo.
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 stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end:
Manao lalàna aho mba hangovitan’ ny olona sy hatahorany eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitr’ i Daniela eran’ ny fanjakako rehetra; fa Izy no Andriamanitra velona sady maharitra mandrakizay; ny fanjakany haharitra hatramin’ ny farany.
27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth; who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
Izy no mamonjy sy manafaka ary manao famantarana sy fahagagana any an-danitra sy etỳ an-tany, ary Izy no namonjy an’ i Daniela ho afaka tamin’ ny herin’ ny liona.
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Ary izany Daniela izany dia nambinina tamin’ ny nanjakan’ i Dariosa sy tamin’ ny nanjakan’ i Kyrosy Persiana.
