< Daniel 6 >
1 It was pleasing before Darius, that he should set up over the kingdom, a hundred and twenty satraps, —that they should be over all the kingdom;
It seemed good before Darius and he appointed over kingdom the satraps the one hundred and twenty who they will be over all kingdom the.
2 and, over these, three confidential ministers, of whom, Daniel, was first, —that, to them, these satraps should render an account, and, the king, not be suffering loss.
And above more than them overseers three whom Daniel [was] one of them whom they will be satraps the these giving to them report the and king the not he will be suffering injury.
3 Then, this Daniel, signalised himself, above the ministers and the satraps, because, a distinguished spirit, was in him, and, the king, thought to set him up over all the kingdom,
Then Daniel this he was distinguishing himself over overseers the and satraps the as to because that a spirit extraordinary [was] in him and king the [was] planning to appoint him over all kingdom the.
4 Then, the ministers and the satraps, began seeking to find, occasion, against Daniel, in respect of the kingdom, —but, no occasion nor wickedness, could they find, inasmuch as, faithful, was he, and, neither error nor wickedness, could be found against him.
Then overseers the and satraps the they were seeking an occasion to find to Daniel from [the] side of kingdom the and any occasion and corruption not [they were] able to find as to because that [was] trustworthy he and any negligence and corruption not it was found concerning him.
5 Then, these men, were saying, We shall not find against this Daniel, any occasion; unless we find it against him in respect of the law of his God.
Then men the these [were] saying that not we will find to Daniel this any occasion except we have found concerning him in [the] law of God his.
6 Then, these ministers and satraps, crowded together unto the king, —and, thus, were saying to him, O Darius the king! for ages, live!
Then overseers the and satraps the these they came as a crowd to king the and as follows [they were] saying to him O Darius king the for ever live!
7 All the ministers of the kingdom, the nobles and satraps, the near friends and the pashas, have consulted together, to establish a royal statute, and to confirm an interdict, —That, whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man, for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
They took counsel together all - [the] overseers of kingdom the prefects the and satraps the counselors the and governors the to establish [the] statute of king the and to make stringent a prohibition that every [one] who he will ask a petition from any god and person until days thirty except from you king O he will be thrown to [the] den of lions the.
8 Now, O king! wilt thou establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed—according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be abolished,
Now king O you will establish prohibition the so you may sign writing the which not to change according to [the] law of [the] Medes and [the] Persians which not it will pass away.
9 Wherefore, King Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.
As to because this king the Darius he signed writing the and prohibition the.
10 But, Daniel, when he knew that the writing, was signed, went to his own house, and, the windows being opened to him, in his chamber, toward Jerusalem, three times a day, was he kneeling upon his knees, and praying and giving thanks before his God, in like manner as he had been doing aforetime.
And Daniel as that he knew that it was signed writing the he went in to house his and windows [were] opened to it in upper room his facing Jerusalem and times three in day the he - [was] kneeling on knees his and [was] praying and [was] praising before God his as to because that he was doing from [the] former time of this.
11 Then, these men, crowded together, and found Daniel, —praying and making supplication, before his God.
Then men the these they came as a crowd and they found Daniel asking and imploring favor before God his.
12 Then drew they near, and began to speak before the king, concerning the royal interdict, Didst thou not sign, an interdict, that, any man who should petition of any God or man, for thirty days, save of thee, O king, should be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, Certain is the thing—according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be abolished.
Then they approached and [were] saying before king the concerning [the] prohibition of king the ¿ not a prohibition did you sign that every person who he will ask from any god and person until days thirty except from you king O he will be thrown to [the] den of lions the [was] replying king the and saying [is] certain word the according to [the] law of [the] Medes and [the] Persians which not it will pass away.
13 Then answered they and were saying before the king, Daniel, who is of the sons of the exile of Judah, hath made thee, O king, of none account, also the interdict which thou hast signed, —but, three times a day, is asking his petition.
Then they replied and [were] saying before king the that Daniel who [is] one of [the] sons of exile the of Judah not he has set (to you *Q(k)*) king O discretion and to prohibition the which you signed and times three in day the [he is] asking petition his.
14 Then, the king, when he heard, the matter, was sorely displeased with himself, and, upon Daniel, set his heart, to deliver him, —and, until the going in of the sun, was striving to rescue him.
Then king the as that word the he heard exceedingly it was displeasing to him and concerning Daniel he set mind to deliver him and until [the] goings in of sun the he was striving to rescue him.
15 Then, these men, crowded unto the king, —and were saying to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that, no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth, may be changed.
Then men the these they came as a crowd to king the and [were] saying to king the know king O that [the] law of [the] Medes and [the] Persians that any prohibition and statute which king the he will establish not to change.
16 Then, the king, gave word, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. The king spake and said to Daniel, —Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, he, will deliver thee.
Then king the he said and they brought Daniel and they threw [him] to den the of lions the [was] replying king the and [was] saying to Daniel God your whom (you *Q(k)*) [are] paying reverence to him in continuance he may he deliver you.
17 And there was brought a certain stone, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet-ring, and with the signet-ring of his nobles, that nothing might be changed, as to Daniel.
And it was brought a stone one and it was set over [the] mouth of den the and he sealed it king the with signet-ring his and with [the] signet-rings of nobles his that not it will change anything with Daniel.
18 Then the king departed to his palace, and spent the night fasting, and no, table, was brought in before him, —and, his sleep, fled from him.
Then he went king the to palace his and he passed [the] night fasting and thrusting [women] not he brought in before him and sleep his it fled on him.
19 Then the king rose early, with the dawn, —and, hastily—unto the den of lions, departed;
Then king the at dawn he arose at daylight the and in haste to den the of lions the he went.
20 and, when he drew near to the den, unto Daniel, with distressed voice, made he outcry, —the king spake and said unto Daniel, O Daniel! servant of the Living God! Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, hath he been able to deliver thee from the lions?
And just as approached he to den the to Daniel with a voice pained he cried out [was] replying king the and [was] saying to Daniel O Daniel [the] servant of God the living God your whom (you *Q(k)*) [are] paying reverence to him in continuance ¿ was he able to deliver you from lions the.
21 Then, Daniel, with the king, spake, —O king! for ages, live!
Then Daniel with king the he spoke king O for ever live!
22 My God, hath sent his messenger, and hath shut the mouth of the lions, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as, before him, rectitude was found in me, moreover also, before thee, O king, no, crime, had I committed.
God my he sent angel his and he closed [the] mouth of lions the and not they harmed me as to because that before him innocence it was found to me and also (before you *Q(k)*) king O a hurtful act not I have done.
23 Then, the king, was exceedingly glad concerning him, and gave word to take up, Daniel, out of the den. So Daniel, was taken up, out of the den, and, no manner of hurt, was found in him, for that he had trusted in his God.
Then king the exceedingly it was good to him and Daniel he said to take up from den the and he was taken up Daniel from den the and any hurt not it was found on him that he had trusted in God his.
24 And the king, gave word, that they should bring those men who had accused Daniel, and, into the den of lions, they cast them—them, their children, and their wives, —and, they had not reached the bottom of the den, when the lions, seized them, and, all their bones, brake they in pieces.
And he said king the and they brought men the these who they had eaten pieces his of Daniel and to [the] den of lions the they threw they sons their and wives their and not they reached to [the] bottom of den the until that they assaulted them lions the and all bones their they shattered.
25 Then, Darius the king, wrote to all the peoples, the races, and the tongues who were dwelling in all the earth, Your prosperity abound!
Then Darius king the he wrote to all peoples the nations the and languages the which ([were] dwelling *Q(k)*) in all earth the peace your may it increase.
26 From before me, is appointed a decree that, throughout every dominion of my kingdom, men tremble and withdraw falteringly from before the God of Daniel, —for that, he, is the Living God, and abiding for ages, and, his kingdom, that which shall not be destroyed, and, his dominion, is unto the end:
From before me it is made a decree that - in all [the] dominion of kingdom my they will be (trembling *Q(k)*) and fearing from before God his of Daniel that he - [is] God the living and enduring for ever and kingdom his which not it will be destroyed and dominion his [is] to end the.
27 who delivereth and rescueth and worketh signs and wonders, in the heavens, and in the earth, —for that he hath delivered Daniel out of the power of the lions.
[he is] delivering And [he is] rescuing and [he is] doing signs and wonders in heavens the and on earth the who he has delivered Daniel from [the] hand of lions the.
