Daniel 6
1 It pleside Darius, and he ordeynede sixe score duykis ouer the rewme, that thei schulden be in al his rewme.
Ɛsɔɔ Ɔhene Dario ani sɛ ɔbɛpa ahenemma ɔha ne aduonu de wɔn atuatua amantam a ɛwɔ ahemman no mu no ano.
2 And ouer hem he ordeynede thre princes, of whiche Danyel was oon; that the duykis schulden yelde resoun to hem, and that the kyng schulde not suffre ony disese.
Ɔhene no sane yii Daniel ne afoforɔ baanu bi sɛ sohwɛfoɔ mpanimfoɔ a wɔhwɛ ahenemma no so, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛyɛ ahwɛyie, na ɔhene no ammɔ ka.
3 Therfor Danyel ouercam alle the princes and duikis, for more spirit of God was in hym.
Na Daniel daa ne ho adi sɛ ɔnim de wɔ sohwɛfoɔ ne ahenemma no mu, ɛno enti, Ɔhene yɛɛ nhyehyɛeɛ sɛ, ɔde no bɛsi ɔman no nyinaa so panin.
4 Certis the kyng thouyte to ordeyne hym on al the rewme. Wherfor princes and duikis souyten to fynde occasioun to Danyel, of the side of the kyng; and thei miyten fynde no cause and suspicioun, for he was feithful, and no blame and suspicioun was foundun in hym.
Ɛyɛɛ saa maa sohwɛfoɔ ne ahenemma no hwehwɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛnya Daniel ho asɛm wɔ nʼamammuo no fam, nanso wɔannya nʼadwumayɛ no ho mfomsoɔ biara, ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.
5 Therfor tho men seiden, We schulen not fynde ony occasioun to this Danyel, no but in hap in the lawe of his God.
Ɛna mmarima no kaa sɛ, “Yɛrennya Daniel yi ho asɛmmɔne biara gye sɛ yɛhunu biribi a ɛfa ne nyamesom ho de asum no afidie.”
6 Thanne the princes and duykis maden fals suggestioun to the kyng, and spaken thus to hym, Kyng Darius, lyue thou with onten ende.
Enti, sohwɛfoɔ no ne ahenemma no kɔɔ Ɔhene Dario no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nana wo nkwa so!
7 Alle the princes of thi rewme, and magistratis, and duykis, senatours, and iugis, han maad a counsel, that a decree and comaundement of the emperour go out, that ech man that axith ony axyng of what euer god and man, til to thretti daies, no but of thee, thou kyng, he be sent in to the lake of liouns.
Yɛn sohwɛfoɔ, mpanimfoɔ, ahenemma, afotufoɔ ne mpanimfoɔ a aka no nyinaa apene so sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Nana hyɛ mmara sɛ, adaduasa a ɛdi animu yi, obiara nni ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔbɛbɔ mpaeɛ akyerɛ onyame bi anaa onipa bi a ɛnyɛ wo Nana no, wɔde no bɛto agyata amena mu.
8 Now therfor, kyng, conferme thou the sentence, and write thou the decree, that this that is ordeyned of Medeis and Perseis be not chaungid, nethir be it leueful to ony man to breke.
Ɛno enti, Nana, twerɛ na fa wo nsa hyɛ saa mmara yi ase, sɛdeɛ Mediafoɔ ne Persiafoɔ mmara a wɔntumi nsesa no no teɛ.”
9 Forsothe Darius, the kyng, settide forth, and confermyde the decree.
Ɛno enti, ɔhene Dario twerɛɛ mmara no.
10 And whanne Danyel hadde founde this thing, that is, the lawe ordeyned, he entride in to his hous; and the while the wyndows weren open in his soler ayens Jerusalem, in thre tymes in the dai he bowide hise knees, and worschipide, and knoulechide bifore his God, as he was wont to do bifore.
Na Daniel tee sɛ wɔde nsa ahyɛ mmara no ase no, ɔkɔɔ fie kɔhyɛnee nʼaborɔsan dan a ne mpomma anim kyerɛ Yerusalem no. Ɛda biara ɔbuu nkotodwe bɔɔ mpaeɛ mprɛnsa daa ne Onyankopɔn ase sɛdeɛ ɔyɛ daa no.
11 Therfor tho men enqueriden ful bisili, and founden Danyel preiynge, and bisechynge his God.
Mpanimfoɔ no nyinaa bɔɔ mu kɔɔ Daniel fie kɔhunuu no sɛ ɔrebɔ mpaeɛ resrɛ Onyankopɔn mmoa.
12 And thei neiyiden and spaken to the kyng of the comaundement, Kyng, whether thou ordeynedist not, that ech man that axide ony of goddis and of men, til to thretti daies, no but thee, thou kyng, he schulde be sent in to the lake of liouns? To whiche men the kyng answeride, and seide, The word is soth, bi the decree of Medeis and Perseis, which it is not leueful to breke.
Enti, wɔsane kɔɔ Ɔhene Dario no nkyɛn kɔkaee no ne mmara no sɛ, “Nana, woamfa wo nsa anhyɛ mmara a ɛka sɛ adaduasa a ɛdi animu yi, obiara a ɔbɛbɔ obi mpaeɛ, onyame anaa onipa na ɛnyɛ Nana no, wɔde no bɛto agyata amena mu no anaa?” Ɔhene no buaa sɛ, “Aane, saa mmara no wɔ hɔ; ɛyɛ Mediafoɔ ne Persiafoɔ mmara a wɔrentumi nsesa no.”
13 Thanne thei answeriden, and seiden bifore the kyng, Danyel, of the sones of caitifte of Juda, reckide not of thi lawe, and of the comaundement, which thou ordeynedist, but thre tymes bi the dai he preieth in his bisechyng.
Afei, wɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Nana, Daniel no a ɔyɛ Yuda atukɔfoɔ no mu baako no mmu wo, na ɔnni wo mmara no nso so. Ɔda so bɔ ne Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ mprɛnsa da koro.”
14 And whanne the kyng hadde herd this word, he was sori ynow, and he settide the herte for Danyel, for to do delyuere hym; and til to the goyng doun of the sunne he trauelide for to do delyuere hym.
Ɔhene no tee saa no, ɛhaa no yie, na ɔdwene ho ara kɔsii anwummerɛ pɛɛ ɛkwan bi a ɔbɛfa so agye Daniel nkwa.
15 But tho men vndurstoden the kyng, and seiden to hym, Wite thou, kyng, that it is the lawe of Medeis and of Perseis, that it is not leueful that ony decree be chaungid,
Mmarima yi bɔɔ mu kɔɔ ɔhene no anim kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nana, anidie mu, wonim sɛ, Mediafoɔ ne Persiafoɔ mmara mu no, wɔntumi nsesa mmara biara a ɔhene ahyɛ.”
16 which the kyng ordeyneth. Thanne the kyng comaundide, and thei brouyten Danyel, and senten hym in to the lake of liouns. And the kyng seide to Danyel, Thi God, whom thou worschipist euere, he schal delyuere thee.
Ɔhene Dario hyɛɛ sɛ, wɔnkɔfa Daniel, na wɔnto no ntwene agyata amena no mu. Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Daniel, wo Onyankopɔn a wosom no daa no, nnye wo.”
17 And o stoon was brouyt, and was put on the mouth of the lake, which the kyng aselide with his ryng, and with the ryng of hise beste men, lest ony thing were don ayens Danyel.
Wɔde boɔ bɛhinii amena no ano. Na Ɔhene no de nʼankasa nsɔano ne atitire nsɔano sosɔɔ ɛboɔ no sɛdeɛ obiara rentumi nyɛ Daniel ho hwee.
18 Thanne the kyng yede in to his hous, and slepte with out soper, and metis weren not brouyte bifore hym; ferthermore and sleep yede awei fro hym.
Afei, ɔhene no sane kɔɔ nʼahemfie a anadwo no nyinaa, wannidi. Ɔpoo anigyedeɛ biara, na wantumi anna anadwo mu no nyinaa.
19 Thanne the kyng roos in the firste morewtid, and yede hastili to the lake of liouns;
Adeɛ kyee anɔpatutuutu no, ɔhene no yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ agyata amena no ano.
20 and he neiyide to the lake, and criede on Danyel with wepynge vois, and spak to hym, Danyel, the seruaunt of God lyuynge, gessist thou, whether thi God, whom thou seruest euere, miyte delyuere thee fro liouns?
Ɔduruu hɔ no, ɔde awerɛhoɔ frɛɛ sɛ, “Daniel, Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ ɔsomfoɔ. Wo Onyankopɔn a wosom no daa no tumi gyee wo firii agyata no mu?”
21 And Danyel answeride the kyng, and seide, King, lyue thou with outen ende.
Daniel teaam sɛ, “Nana wo nkwa so!
22 My God sente his aungel, and closide togidere the mouthis of liouns, and tho noieden not me, for riytfulnesse is foundun in me bifore hym; but also, thou kyng, Y dide no trespas bifore thee.
Me Onyankopɔn somaa ne ɔbɔfoɔ bɛkataa agyata no ano, sɛdeɛ wɔrentumi nyɛ me bɔne, ɛfiri sɛ, wahunu sɛ, medi bem wɔ nʼanim. Na wo, Nana nso, menyɛɛ wo bɔne biara.”
23 Thanne the kyng made ioie greetli on hym, and comaundide Danyel to be led out of the lake. And Danyel was led out of the lake, and noon hirtyng was foundun in hym, for he bileuede to his God.
Ɔhene no ani gyee mmorosoɔ, na ɔhyɛɛ sɛ wɔnyi Daniel mfiri amena no mu, enti woyii no. Wɔanhunu etwã biara wɔ ne ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔde ne ho too ne Onyankopɔn so.
24 Forsothe the kyng comaundide, tho men, that accusiden Danyel, weren brouyt, and weren sent in to the lake of liouns, thei, and the sones of hem, and the wyues of hem; and thei camen not `til to the pawment of the lake, til the liouns rauyschiden hem, and al to-braken alle the boonys of hem.
Afei, ɔhene no hyɛɛ sɛ, wɔnkɔkyere mmarima a wɔnam ntwatosoɔ so ma wɔde Daniel kɔtoo agyata amena mu no. Ɔmaa wɔtoo wɔn ne wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma guu agyata amena no mu. Agyata no hurihuri sisii wɔn so, tetee wɔn, bobɔɔ wɔn nnompe mu ansa koraa na wɔreduru amena no ase.
25 Thanne Darius, the kyng, wroot to alle puplis, lynagis, and langagis, dwellynge in al erthe, Pees be multiplied to you.
Afei, Ɔhene Dario too nkra yi kɔmaa nnipa ahodoɔ nyinaa, aman nyinaa ne kasa biara wɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa sɛ: “Ɛnsi mo yie mmoroso!
26 Therfor a decree is ordeyned of me, that in al myn empire and rewme men tremble, and drede the God of Danyel; for he is God lyuynge, and euerlastynge in to worldis, and his rewme schal not be distried, and his power is `til in to with outen ende.
“Mehyɛ mmara sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ obiara a ɔwɔ mʼahemman mu suro, fɛre na ɔde anidie ma Daniel Onyankopɔn.
27 He is delyuerer and sauyour, makynge myraclis and merueils in heuene and in erthe, which delyuerede Danyel fro the lake of liouns.
“Ɔyɛ amanehunu mu gyefoɔ na ɔgye nkwa nso;
28 Certis Danyel dwellide stabli `til to the rewme of Darius, and `til to the rewme of Sirus of Persey.
Enti, Daniel kɔɔ so dii yie wɔ Ɔhene Dario ne Persiahene Kores mmerɛ so.
