Daniel 6
1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
Dariyis deside chwazi sanven (120) prefè li mete chèf nan tout peyi a.
2 and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.
Lèfini, li chwazi Danyèl ak de lòt moun li mete alatèt prefè yo. Reskonsablite yo se te kontwole travay prefè yo pou yo te ka defann enterè wa a.
3 Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Danyèl sa a te fè travay li pi byen pase tout lòt gwo chèf ak prefè yo paske li te gen lespri pase yo. Se konsa wa a te fè lide mete l' reskonsab tout peyi a.
4 Then the presidents and the local governors sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. There wasn’t any error or fault found in him.
Lè sa a, lòt gwo chèf yo ansanm ak prefè yo t'ap chache yon okazyon pou yo antrave Danyèl nan travay leta a. Men, yo pa t' ka jwenn anyen pou yo repwoche l' sitèlman Danyèl te yon nonm serye nan tou sa l'ap fè. Li pa t' pote ankenn neglijans ni pa t' gen ankenn mank nan travay li.
5 Then these men said, “We won’t find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”
Lè sa a yonn di lòt: -Nou pa ka jwenn anyen ki mal nan travay Danyèl ap fè a. Ann chache nan jan l'ap sèvi Bondye l' la.
6 Then these presidents and local governors assembled together to the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever!
Se konsa yo kouri al jwenn wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Wa Dariyis, nou mande pou bondye yo ba ou lavi pou lontan ankò!
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Tout gwo chèf nan peyi a ansanm ak prefè yo, gouvènè yo, minis yo ak lòt chèf yo, nou tout, nou dakò pou wa a pase yon lòd sevè ki mande pou tout moun lapriyè nan pye wa a ase pandan trant jou. Nenpòt moun ki ta dezobeyi lòd sa a, epi ki ta lapriyè nan pye yon bondye osinon yon lòt moun pandan tan sa a, se pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou lyon yo.
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 doesn’t alter.”
Monwa, nou mande ou pou fè ekri lòd sa a, lèfini pou ou siyen l'. Konsa, dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès la, yo pa t' ka chanje anyen ladan l', tout moun fèt pou koube devan l'.
9 Therefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Se konsa, wa Dariyis siyen lòd la.
10 When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
Lè Danyèl vin konnen wa a te siyen lòd sa a, li al lakay li. Te gen yon chanm anwo sou teras la ak yon fennèt ki bay nan direksyon lavil Jerizalèm. Li moute, li mete ajenou devan fennèt la ki te louvri, li lapriyè Bondye l' jan li te toujou fè, twa fwa pa jou a.
11 Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
Mesye yo vini, yo wè Danyèl ki t'ap lapriyè nan pye Bondye l' la.
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 makes a 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, “This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”
Yo tout al jwenn wa a epi yo di l': -Monwa, èske ou pa t' siyen yon lwa ki te mande pou tout moun lapriyè nan pye ou ase pandan trant jou? Nenpòt moun yo ta jwenn ap lapriyè yon bondye osinon yon lòt moun pandan tan sa a, se pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou lyon an, pa vre? Wa a reponn: -Lòd la bay dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès la ki pa ka chanje.
13 Then they answered and said before the king, “That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn’t respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”
Lè sa a, mesye yo di wa a: -Danyèl, yonn nan moun Jida yo te depòte isit yo, pa okipe ou menm, monwa. Li pa respekte lòd ou te bay la. Twa fwa pa jou, l'ap lapriyè lapriyè l'!
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.
Lè wa a tande sa, sa te fè l' lapenn anpil, li di nan kè l' se pou l' sove Danyèl. Jouk solèy kouche li t'ap chache yon jan pou l' fè kichòy pou Danyèl.
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.”
Mesye yo tounen kay wa a ankò, epi yo di l': -Monwa, pa bliye. Dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès, depi wa a fin siyen yon lòd, se fini.
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”
Se konsa, wa a bay lòd pou yo pran Danyèl, pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou kote lyon yo ye a. Li di Danyèl konsa: -Mwen mande pou Bondye w'ap sèvi san dezanpare a delivre ou!
17 A stone was brought, and laid on 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.
Yo pote yon gwo wòch. Yo mete l' anwo bouch twou a pou fèmen l'. Lèfini, yo mete sele sou li, wa a siyen l' ansanm ak lòt chèf yo. Konsa, pesonn pa ta ka vin sove Danyèl.
18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
Apre sa, wa a tounen nan palè a. Jou swa sa a li pa manje, li pa fè chache ankenn nan fanm kay li yo. Li pase nwit lan san l' pa fèmen je l'.
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
Nan maten, lè bajou kase, wa a leve, li kouri al bò twou lyon an.
20 When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled 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?”
Lè li rive, li pwoche bò bouch twou a. Kè l' te sere lè li rele Danyèl, li di: -Danyèl, sèvitè Bondye vivan an, èske Bondye w'ap sèvi san dezanpare a te rive delivre ou anba lyon yo?
21 Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever!
Danyèl pale, li di wa a: -Se pou Bondye bay monwa lavi pou lontan ankò!
22 My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me, because innocence was found in me before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”
Bondye mwen an voye zanj li, li fèmen bouch lyon yo pou yo pa fè m' anyen. Li fè sa paske li konnen mwen inonsan. Epi ou menm tou, monwa, ou konnen m' pa fè ou anyen ki mal, pa vre?
23 Then the king was 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 kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
Wa a te kontan anpil. Li bay lòd pou yo rale Danyèl soti nan twou a mete l' deyò. Lè yo rale msye soti, yo wè lyon yo pa t' grafiyen l' menm, paske li te mete konfyans li nan Bondye l'.
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 mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.
Lè sa a, wa a bay lòd pou y' al arete tout moun ki te vin akize Danyèl yo. Li fè jete yo tout nan gwo twou lyon an ansanm ak madanm yo ak pitit yo. Yo pa t' ankò rive atè nan twou a, lyon yo te gen tan vare sou yo, kraze tout zo nan kò yo.
25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages who dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you.
Apre sa, wa Dariyis ekri yon lèt voye bay tout moun sou latè, moun tout peyi, moun tout ras ki pale tout kalite lang. Li di yo: -Mwen mande pou nou viv ak anpil kè poze!
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 is that which will not be destroyed. His dominion will be even to the end.
Men lòd mwen bay pou tout peyi ki sou zòd mwen: Se pou tout moun gen krentif pou Bondye Danyèl la. Se pou yo respekte l'. Se yon Bondye vivan li ye! Se li menm ki chèf pou tout tan! Gouvènman li p'ap janm tonbe. Pouvwa li p'ap janm fini.
27 He delivers and rescues. He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”
Li sove, li delivre, li fè bèl bagay ak gwo mirak nan syèl la ak sou latè. Li sove Danyèl, li pa kite lyon yo devore l'!
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Zafè Danyèl te mache byen pandan tout rèy wa Dariyis ak wa Siris, moun peyi Pès la.
