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;
Ó dára lójú Dariusi láti yan ọgọ́fà àwọn baálẹ̀ sórí ìjọba,
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.
pẹ̀lú alákòóso mẹ́ta, Daniẹli sì jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú wọn, kí àwọn baálẹ̀ lè wá máa jẹ́ ààbọ̀ fún wọn, kí ọba má ba à ní ìpalára.
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,
Daniẹli ya ara rẹ̀ sọ́tọ̀ láàrín àwọn alákòóso àti àwọn baálẹ̀ nítorí ẹ̀mí tí ó tayọ wà lára rẹ̀ dé bi pé ọba sì ń gbèrò láti fi ṣe olórí i gbogbo ìjọba.
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.
Nítorí èyí, gbogbo àwọn alákòóso àti àwọn baálẹ̀ ń gbèrò láti wá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kà sí Daniẹli lọ́rùn nínú ètò ìṣèjọba rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kankan kà sí i lọ́rùn, wọn kò rí ìwà ìbàjẹ́ kankan tí ó ṣe, nítorí ó jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ kò sì ní ìwà ìjáfara.
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.
Nígbẹ̀yìn ni àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí sọ wí pé, “Àwa kò ní rí ìdí kankan láti kà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí Daniẹli lọ́rùn, àfi èyí tí ó bá ní í ṣe pẹ̀lú òfin Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.”
6 Then, these ministers and satraps, crowded together unto the king, —and, thus, were saying to him, O Darius the king! for ages, live!
Nígbà náà ni àwọn alákòóso àti àwọn baálẹ̀ lọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ikọ̀ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba, wọ́n wí pé, “Ìwọ Dariusi ọba, kí o pẹ́!
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.
Àwọn alákòóso ọba, ìjòyè, baálẹ̀, olùdámọ̀ràn, àti àwọn olórí gbìmọ̀ pọ̀ wí pé kí ọba kéde òfin kan pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gba àdúrà sí Ọlọ́run tàbí ènìyàn kankan fún ọgbọ̀n ọjọ́, yàtọ̀ fún ìwọ ọba, a ó ju ẹni náà sí inú ihò kìnnìún.
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,
Nísinsin yìí, ìwọ ọba, gbé òfin yìí jáde, kí o sì kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé kí a má ba à yí i padà ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin àwọn Media àti Persia, èyí tí kò ní le è parẹ́.”
9 Wherefore, King Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.
Nígbà náà, ni Dariusi ọba fi ọwọ́ sí ìwé àṣẹ náà.
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.
Lóòótọ́, Daniẹli mọ̀ pé a ti fi ọwọ́ sí ìwé òfin náà, síbẹ̀ ó wọ ilé e rẹ̀ lọ, nínú yàrá òkè, ó ṣí fèrèsé èyí tí ó kọjú sí Jerusalẹmu sílẹ̀. Ó kúnlẹ̀ lórí orúnkún un rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹ́ta lójoojúmọ́, ó gbàdúrà, ó fi ọpẹ́ fún Ọlọ́run gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe rẹ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀.
11 Then, these men, crowded together, and found Daniel, —praying and making supplication, before his God.
Nígbà náà ni, àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ yìí kó ara wọn jọ, wọ́n sì rí Daniẹli tí ó ń gba àdúrà, ó sì ń bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àánú lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
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.
Wọ́n lọ sí iwájú ọba, wọ́n sì rán ọba létí nípa òfin tí ó ṣe pé, “Ìwọ kò ha fi ọwọ́ sí òfin wí pé ní ìwọ̀n ọgbọ̀n ọjọ́ ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gba àdúrà sí Ọlọ́run tàbí ènìyàn, láì bá ṣe ìwọ ọba, a ó gbé e jù sínú ihò kìnnìún?” Ọba sì dáhùn pé, “Àṣẹ náà dúró síbẹ̀, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin àwọn ará Media àti Persia, èyí tí a kò le è parẹ́.”
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.
Nígbà náà, ni wọ́n sọ fún ọba pé, “Daniẹli, ọ̀kan lára ìgbèkùn Juda, kò ka ìwọ ọba sí, tàbí àṣẹ ẹ̀ rẹ tí o fi ọwọ́ sí. Òun sì tún ń gba àdúrà ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹ́ta lójúmọ́.”
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.
Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ èyí, inú rẹ̀ bàjẹ́ gidigidi; ó pinnu láti kó Daniẹli yọ, títí oòrùn fi rọ̀, ó sa gbogbo ipá a rẹ̀ láti gba Daniẹli sílẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà, ni àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ wọ̀nyí kó ara wọn jọ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ọba rántí pé, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin àwọn Media àti Persia kò sí àṣẹ tàbí ìkéde tí ọba ṣe tí a le è yí i padà.”
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.
Nígbà náà, ni ọba pàṣẹ, wọ́n sì mú Daniẹli, wọ́n sì sọ ọ́ sínú ihò kìnnìún. Ọba sì sọ fún Daniẹli pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run rẹ tí ìwọ ń sìn nígbà gbogbo kí ó gbà ọ́!”
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.
A sì gbé òkúta kan wá, wọ́n sì fi dí ẹnu ihò náà, ọba sì dì í pa pẹ̀lú òrùka èdìdì rẹ̀ àti pẹ̀lú òrùka àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀, nítorí kí a má ṣe yí ohunkóhun padà nítorí i Daniẹli.
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.
Nígbà náà ni ọba padà sí ààfin rẹ̀, ó sì lo gbogbo òru náà láì jẹun, kò sì gbọ́ orin kankan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì le è sùn ní òru ọjọ́ náà.
19 Then the king rose early, with the dawn, —and, hastily—unto the den of lions, departed;
Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù, ni ọba dìde ó sì sáré lọ sí ibi ihò kìnnìún náà.
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?
Nígbà tí ó súnmọ́ ibi ihò náà ní ibi tí Daniẹli wà, ó pe Daniẹli pẹ̀lú ìtara pé, “Daniẹli, ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run alààyè, ṣé Ọlọ́run rẹ tí ìwọ ń sìn tọ̀sán tòru, lè gbà ọ́ lọ́wọ́ kìnnìún bí?”
21 Then, Daniel, with the king, spake, —O king! for ages, live!
Daniẹli sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ọba kí ẹ pẹ́!
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.
Ọlọ́run mi rán angẹli i rẹ̀, ó sì dí àwọn kìnnìún lẹ́nu. Wọn kò le è pa mí lára, nítorí a rí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ní iwájú rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò hu ìwà ìbàjẹ́ kan níwájú rẹ ìwọ ọba.”
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.
Inú ọba dùn gidigidi, ó sì pàṣẹ kí a mú Daniẹli jáde wá láti inú ihò. Nígbà tí a mú Daniẹli jáde nínú ihò, kò sí ojú ọgbẹ́ kan ní ara rẹ̀, nítorí tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
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.
Ọba pàṣẹ pé, kí a mú àwọn alátakò Daniẹli wá, kí a jù wọ́n sí inú ihò kìnnìún, pẹ̀lú ìyàwó àti àwọn ọmọ wọn. Kí wọn tó dé ìsàlẹ̀ ihò, kìnnìún lágbára lórí i wọn, wọ́n sì fọ́ gbogbo egungun wọn.
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!
Nígbà náà ni Dariusi ọba kọ̀wé sí gbogbo ènìyàn orílẹ̀-èdè, àti gbogbo jákèjádò ilẹ̀ náà: “Kí ìre yín máa pọ̀ sí i!
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:
“Mo gbé àṣẹ kan jáde wí pé, ní gbogbo agbègbè ìjọba mi, gbogbo ènìyàn gbọdọ̀ bẹ̀rù, kí wọn kí ó sì bọ̀wọ̀ fún Ọlọ́run Daniẹli.
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.
Ó ń yọ ni, ó sì ń gbani là;
28 And, this Daniel, prospered in the reign of Darius, —and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.:
Daniẹli sì ṣe rere ní àkókò ìjọba Dariusi àti àkókò ìjọba Kirusi ti Persia.
