< Daniel 6 >

1 It hath been good before Darius, and he hath established over the kingdom satraps — a hundred and twenty — that they may be throughout the whole kingdom,
Darius kiti Mede mipa chun, a lenggam pumpi chu gamkai ja le somni soding adeiyin, hitichun ahomkhen tai. Chuleh hiche gamkai ho’a vaipo ding in gamkai khat’a mikhat cheh apansah tai.
2 and higher than they three presidents, of whom Daniel [is] first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss.
Gamkai vaipo ho jouse chung’a avesui ding leh vaihom pipu dingin, lengpan Daniel leh midang mini jong apansah tan ahi. Amaho cheng hin lengpa lungdei aboluva, gamkai vaipo ho toh je ahil ding’u chuleh lenggam aventup ding’u ahi.
3 Then this Daniel hath been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit [is] in him, and the king hath thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.
Chomlou kah in, vaihom pipu mini leh gamkai vaipo ho sangin, Daniel chu natoh thilbol athemjo tan, chuleh imalam jousea ahung minthang tan ahi. Daniel chung’a Pathen lhagao achen jing jeh chun midang ho sang in natoh thilbol thepna aneiyin, hijeh chun lengpan, alenggam vaipi po’a vetup ding in Daniel chu agong tan ahi.
4 Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he [is] faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him.
Chuphat in, vaihom pipu mini toh gamvaipo ho chun, gamsung kivaihomna dol’a Daniel bolkhel themmo chansah nading aholuvin, ahivang in amudoh jou pouvin ahi. Ajeh chu, Daniel chu kitah tah leh thudihtah’a thilbol ahin, chuleh amopohna-a son umtah leh Pathen ging’a natong ahi.
5 Then these men are saying, 'We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found [it] against him in the law of his God.'
Chuin amaho akihouvun, “Daniel themmo chansah nading chu, ama Pathen houna thudol tilouvin, thildang ima eihon ibol thei ding’u aum poi.’’ ati tauve.
6 Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: 'O king Darius, to the ages live!
Hijeh chun, vaihom pipu mini toh gamkai vaipo hochu, lengpa kom’a acheuvin, ajah a: Lengpa Darius Hingsot in!
7 Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors, to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict, that any who seeketh a petition from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions.
Na lenggam sung’a vaihom pipuho, vaihom thuneiho, gamkai vaipo ho, thumop’a pang ho, chuleh miching mithem ho cheng in, kihou lhuhna khat kaneijun: Vo lengpa, nangman dankhat na phudoh ding, amitakip in khoutah’a juicheh ding katiuve. Hichu, ni somthum sung’a mihem kom hihen chuleh pathen houna hijong leh, koiman nangkom tilouva taona leh thumna anei theilou ding, hiche hi ajuilou leh apalkeh aum leh sakei bahkai kulsung’a selut ding, tin thupeh bolin.
8 Now, O king, thou dost establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.'
Chuleh vo lengpa, tun hiche dan kisem chu khellou dingin khut henna bolkhumin, chuleh phongdoh in, hichu Mede mite leh Persia mite danthu dungjuiya avel’a kiladoh kitlou ding ahitai,’’ atiuve.
9 Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict.
Hijeh chun Darius lengpan, hiche dan kisem chu khut-hen abol khum tai.
10 And Daniel, when he hath known that the writing is signed, hath gone up to his house, and the window being opened for him, in his upper chamber, over-against Jerusalem, three times in a day he is kneeling on his knees, and praying, and confessing before his God, because that he was doing [it] before this.
Chuin lengpan dan kisem chu khut-hen abolkhum taiti Daniel in ahetdoh phat chun, a-in lam’ah achen, a-indan chungnung’a alut in, Jerusalem lang ngan bangkot ahong in, abol jing bang chun adilsun atao tai. Aman aphat seh’a abolji bang chun, nikhat sungin a Pathen heng’a thangvahna thumvei anei jing in ahi.
11 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and entreating grace before his God;
Hichun miphalou vaipo ho chu Daniel chenna in-ah chun acheuvin ahileh, Daniel chu, a Pathen heng’a taona aneipet agamu tauvin ahi.
12 then they have come near, yea, they are saying before the king concerning the king's interdict: 'Hast thou not signed an interdict, that any man who seeketh from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions?' Answered hath the king, and said, 'The thing [is] certain as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.'
Chutah chun amaho jong lengpa kom ajonpaiyun, dan kisem chung chang thu aseijun, Daniel hehnan aneiyun, lengpa jah’a, “Vo lengpa, ni somthum sung’a nangkom tilouva, mihem hihen chuleh Pathen houna hijong leh, koiman taona anei theilou ding, hiche hi ajuilou leh apalkeh aumleh, sakei bahkai kulsung’a selut ding tia dan kisem chu, nangma tah in khut-henna na bolkhum hitalou ham?” atiuve. Lengpan adonbut in, “Hiche dan kiphutdoh hi, Mede mite leh Persia mite danthua umjing ding, kiladoh lou ding ahitai,’’ ati.
13 Then they have answered, yea, they are saying before the king, that, 'Daniel, who [is] of the sons of the Removed of Judah, hath not placed on thee, O king, [any] regard, nor on the interdict that thou hast signed, and three times in a day he is seeking his petition.'
Hichun amahon jong lengpa chu adonbut’un, “Vo lengpa, Judah gam’a kon sohchang’a hung kikai holah’a, Daniel kitipa chun na thupeh adonse pon chuleh nakhut- hennasa dan kisem jong chu imalouvin akoiyin, nikhat sungin abolngai ngaijin, aPathen kom’a thumvei atao jing’e’’ atiuvin, aheh tauve.
14 Then the king, when he hath heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he hath set the heart to deliver him, and till the going up of the sun he was arranging to deliver him.
Hiche thuhi ajahdoh phat in, lengpa chu hatah in along gim tai. Aman Daniel chu huhdoh teina ding angaiton, lunggil tah in agelpan tai. Hiche boina-a kon’a Daniel lhadoh teina ding lampi aholin, nilhum keijin akigeltan ahi.
15 Then these men have assembled near the king, and are saying to the king, 'know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia [is]: That any interdict and statute that the king doth establish is not to be changed.'
Nilhah ahiphat chun, miho chu lengpa heng’a achekhomun, ajah a aseitauve, “Vo lengpa, Mede mite leh Persia mite danthu dungjuiya lengpan khut-hen abol khumsa dan chu kikhel theilou ahi, nangmatah in nahet ahi,’’atiuve.
16 Then the king hath said, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast [him] into a den of lions. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, 'Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, Himself doth deliver thee.'
Hichun alou theilouvin Daniel chu mat dingin, lengpan thu apetan, agaman tauve. Chuleh sakei bahkai kulsung’a chun aseplut tauvin ahi. Lengpan Daniel jah’a, “Kitah tah’a nahou jing na Pathen chun na huhdoh hen” ati.
17 And a stone hath been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king hath sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose be not changed concerning Daniel.
Chuin songpi khat atanglutuvin, sakei bahkai kulkot chu asing tauve. Chuleh songpi chung’a chun lengpa leh amilen milal hon Mohor in melchihna anom khum cheh tauvin ahi. Hichu koiman Daniel chu agalha dohlou nading’a abol’u ahi.
18 Then hath the king gone to his palace, and he hath passed the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before him, and his sleep hath fled [from] off him.
Chuin lengpa jong lung oilou tahin a-inpia akile tai. Ajan chun an angolin, imutheilouvin akhovah tai. Chuleh angaina-a kibolji golnop jong abol tapouve.
19 Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;
Ajing jingkah matah in, lengpa chu athoudohloijin, sakei bahkai kul langchu kinotah in ajontai.
20 and at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a grieved voice, he crieth. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, thy God, whom thou art serving continually, is He able to deliver thee from the lions?'
Chuin amun alhunphat chun, aman lung natah in apeng jah in, “Vo Daniel, Pathen hingjing sohpa! Kitahtah’a nahou jing na Pathen chun sakei bahkai lah’a kon’a na huhdoh hinam?’’ ati.
21 Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: 'O king, to the ages live:
Daniel in adonbut in, “Vo lengpa hingsot in!”
22 my God hath sent His messenger, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity hath been found in me; and also before thee, O king, injury I have not done.'
“Ka Pathen chun a vantil ahinsol lhan, sakei bahkai ho kam asippeh in, eisu khapouve. Ajeh chu Pakai mitmun keima nolna beijin ka um’e, chuleh nangma angsung’a jong suhkhel ka neipoi, Vo! lengpa’’ ahinti.
23 Then was the king very glad for him, and he hath commanded Daniel to be taken up out of the den, and Daniel hath been taken up out of the den, and no injury hath been found in him, because he hath believed in his God.
Chutah chun lengpa jong akipah behseh jeng in, Daniel chu sakei bahkai kul sung’a kon’a lahdoh loi dingin thu apetai. Aman a Pathen dettah’a atahsan jal chun, atahsa chung’a maha imacha aum poi.
24 And the king hath said, and they have brought those men who had accused Daniel, and to the den of lions they have cast them, they, their sons, and their wives; and they have not come to the lower part of the den till that the lions have power over them, and all their bones they have broken small.
Chuin lengpan thupeh abolin, Daniel chunga dihlou tah’a hehsetna anabol hochu amandoh un, amaho leh ajite chuleh achate jouse jong abon’un, sakei bahkai kul sung’a chun alehlut tauve. Hichun, tol’a achuh masang’un, sakei bahkai hon aman’un, abottel tel gamset tauvin ahi.
25 Then Darius the king hath written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: 'Your peace be great!
Chuin Darius lengpan, leiset pumpia chitin namtin’a miho leh pao tintang tho ho heng’a, hiche thuhi athot tai, “Na chunguva cham leh kipana chuleh khantouna umhen!”
26 From before me is made a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom they are trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for He [is] the living God, and abiding to the ages, and His kingdom that which [is] not destroyed, and His dominion [is] unto the end.
Keiman hiche thugahna hi kabol ahi, kalenggam sung pumpia amitakip’in, Daniel Pathen chu gingsoh hen chuleh kihot hot pumin jabol cheh hen. Ajeh chu amahi Pathen Hingjing ahin, Chuleh a tonsot geija thohjou jing Pathen ahi. Alenggam jong a itih’a kisumang louding, Chuleh alengvai pohna jong beitih umlou ding ahi.
27 A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth [is] He who hath delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.'
Aman amite aholdohjin chuleh ahuhhing ji'e. Chuleh aman van leh leiset chung’a melchihna kidang ho leh bolmo kidang ho aboljin ahi. Aman sakei bahkai ho lah’a konin Daniel jong ana huhdoh’e.
28 And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Hiche jeh chun, Darius lengvaipoh sung leh Persia mi Cyrus lengvaipoh sung chun, Daniel chu akhangtou jing jeng tai.
