< 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;
Naay-ayo ni Dario a mangdutok iti 120 a gobernador a mangituray iti entero a pagarian.
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.
Iti ngatoenda ket adda iti tallo a kangatoan nga administrador, ket ni Daniel ti maysa kadakuada. Nadutokan dagitoy a kangatoan nga administrador tapno mangiwanwan kadagiti gobernador ti probinsia, tapno saan a mapukawan ti ari.
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,
Ad-adda a mabigbigbig ni Daniel ngem kadagiti dadduma a kangatoan nga administrador ken dagiti gobernador ti probinsia gapu ta addaan isuna iti naisangsangayan nga espiritu. Pangpanggepen ti ari nga isaad isuna a mangimaton iti entero a pagarian.
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.
Ket nangsapul dagiti dadduma a kangatoan nga administrador ken dagiti gobernador iti probinsia iti biddut iti trabaho nga inaramid ni Daniel para iti pagarian, ngem awan iti masarakanda a kinakillo wenno pagkurangan iti trabahona gapu ta napudno isuna. Awan iti biddut wenno panangbaybay-an a masarakan kenkuana.
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.
Ket kinuna dagitoy a lallaki, “Awan ti masapulantayo a rason tapno idarum daytoy a Daniel malaksid no makasaraktayo iti maysa a banag a maibusor kenkuana maipapan iti linteg ti Diosna.”
6 Then, these ministers and satraps, crowded together unto the king, —and, thus, were saying to him, O Darius the king! for ages, live!
Ket nangiyeg dagitoy nga administrador ken dagiti gobernador iti maysa a panggep iti sangoanan ti ari. Kinunada kenkuana, “O Ari Dario, agbiagka koma iti agnanayon!
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.
Amin dagiti kangatoan nga administrador ti pagarian, dagiti gobernador ti rehion, dagiti gobernador ti probinsia, dagiti mammagbaga, ken dagiti gobernador ket sangsangkamaysada a nagtutungtong ken nangikeddeng a sika nga ari, ket masapul a mangipaulogka iti maysa a linteg ken masapul a maipatungpal daytoy, tapno ti siasinoman nga agdawat iti siasinoman a didiosen wenno tao iti las-ud iti tallopulo nga aldaw, malaksid kenka, O ari, masapul a maipuruak dayta a tao iti rukib dagiti leon.
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,
Ita, O ari, mangipaulogka iti maysa a linteg ket pirmaam ti kasuratan tapno saan a mabaliwan daytoy, kas mayannurot kadagiti paglintegan dagiti taga-Medo ken taga-Persia, tapno saanen a maibabawi daytoy.”
9 Wherefore, King Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.
Pinirmaan ngarud ni ari Dario ti kasuratan tapno agbalin a maysa a linteg.
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.
Idi naammoan ni Daniel a napirmaan ti kasuratan tapno agbalin a linteg, nagawid isuna (ita, dagiti tawana ket nakalukat iti akinngato a siledna a nakaturong iti Jerusalem) ket nagparintumeng isuna, kas iti ar-aramidenna iti mamitlo a daras iti tunggal aldaw, ket nagkararag ken nagyaman iti sangoanan ti Diosna, kas iti sigud nga ar-aramidenna.
11 Then, these men, crowded together, and found Daniel, —praying and making supplication, before his God.
Ket dagitoy a lallaki a sangsangkamaysa a nagpanggep iti dakes ket nakitada ni Daniel nga agdawdawat ken agpakpakaasi iti tulong manipud iti Dios.
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.
Ket napanda iti ari ket nakisaritada kenkuana maipapan iti lintegna: “Saan kadi a nangaramidka iti linteg a ti siasinoman nga agdawat iti siasinoman a dios wenno tao bayat kadagiti sumaruno a tallopulo nga aldaw, malaksid kenka, O ari, ket masapul a maipurruak iti rukib dagiti leon?” Simmungbat ti ari, “Naikeddengen dayta a banag kas mayannurot iti paglintegan dagiti taga-Medo ken taga-Pesia; saanen a maibabawi daytoy.”
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.
Ket insungbatda iti ari, “Dayta a tao a ni Daniel, maysa kadagiti tattao a naitalaw a kas balud manipud iti Juda, ket saannaka nga ipangpangag, O ari, wenno ti linteg a pinirmaam. Agkarkararag isuna iti Diosna iti mamitlo a daras iti tunggal aldaw.”
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.
Idi nangngeg ti ari daytoy, nariribukan unay isuna, ket pinanggepna nga isalakan ni Daniel manipud iti daytoy a linteg. Nagtrabaho isuna agingga iti ililinnek iti init tapno padasenna nga isalakan ni Daniel.
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.
Ket naguummong dagitoy a lallaki a nagpanggep iti dakes a kadauda ti ari ket kinunada kenkuana, “Ammoem, O ari, a daytoy ket paglintegan dagiti taga-Medo ken taga-Persia, nga awan ti linteg wenno annuroten nga impaulog ti ari ti mabalin a baliwan.”
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.
Ket nangibilin ti ari, ket inyunegda ni Daniel, ket impurruakda isuna iti rukib dagiti leon. Kinuna ti ari kenni Daniel, “Ispalennaka koma ti Diosmo, nga agtultuloy a pagserserbiam.”
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.
Naipan ti maysa a bato iti pagserrekan ti rukib, ket sinelyoan ti ari daytoy iti bukodna a pangselyo a singsing ken iti pangselyo a singsing dagiti ofisialesna tapno iti kasta ket awan ti mabaliwan maipapan kenni 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.
Ket nagawid ti ari iti palasiona ket nagpatpatnag a nagayunar. Awan iti pangliwliwa a tokar a naipan iti sangoananna, ket saan a makaturog isuna.
19 Then the king rose early, with the dawn, —and, hastily—unto the den of lions, departed;
Ket iti parbangon bimmangon a dagus ti ari ket napan iti rukib dagiti leon.
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?
Bayat nga umas-asideg isuna iti rukib, inawaganna ni Daniel babaen iti timek a napnoan saem. Kinunana kenni Daniel, “Daniel, nga adipen ti sibibiag a Dios, Insalakannaka kadi manipud kadagiti leon ti Diosmo nga agtultuloy a pagserserbiam?”
21 Then, Daniel, with the king, spake, —O king! for ages, live!
Ket kinuna ni Daniel iti ari, “O ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon!
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.
Imbaon ti Diosko ti mensaherona ket inserrana dagiti ngiwat dagiti leon, ket saandak a dinangran. Ta nasarakandak nga awan mulitna iti sangoananna ken kasta met iti sangoanam, O ari, ket awan ti inaramidko a pakadangram.”
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.
Ket kasta unay ti ragsak ti ari. Imbilinna a rumbeng nga iruarda ni Daniel iti rukib. Isu a naiyaon ni Daniel iti rukib. Saan isuna a nadangran, gapu ta nagtalek isuna iti Diosna.
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.
Imbilin ti ari, ket inyegda dagiti lallaki a nangpabasol kenni Daniel ket impurruakda ida iti rukib dagiti leon—isuda, dagiti annakda ken dagiti assawada. Sakbay nga agdissoda iti lansad ti rukib, sinikbab ida dagiti leon ket tinuktukkolda dagiti amin a tultulangda.
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!
Ket nagsurat ni ari Dario kadagiti amin a tattao, kadagiti nasion, ken kadagiti pagsasao nga agnanaed iti entero a daga: “Maadda koma ti talna kadakayo.
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:
Iblibilnko kadagiti amin a maiturayan ti pagariak nga agpigerger ken agbuteng dagiti tattao iti sangoanan ti Dios ni Daniel, ta sibibiag isuna a Dios ken agbiag iti agnanayon, ket saanto a madadael ti pagarianna; ti pagturayanna ket agingga iti panungpalan.
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.
Ikanawana ken ispalennatayo, ket mangar-aramid isuna kadagiti pagilasinan ken pagsidsiddaawan iti langit ken iti daga; pinagbalinna a natalged ni daniel manipud iti pannakabalin dagiti leon.”
28 And, this Daniel, prospered in the reign of Darius, —and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.:
Isu a rimmang-ay ni Daniel kabayatan ti panagturay ni Dario ken kabayatan ti panagturay ni Ciro a taga-Persia.
