< 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 noneno ni en gima ber mondo oyier jotelo mia achiel gi piero ariyo mondo okonye rito pinyruodhe duto.
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.
Eka noyiero Daniel gi ji ariyo mamoko mondo obed jotend jotelogo. Jorit pinjegi nomi chik ni nyaka gidwok wach ni jotelo adekgi, mondo kik gimoro dhi marach ne ruoth.
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.
To Daniel noloyo jotend jorit pinje mamoko duto, nikech lony mamalo mane en-go, mi ruoth koro ne chano mondo omiye teko mar rito piny duto.
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.
Mano nomiyo jotend jorit pinje gi jodongo notemo mondo ondhog Daniel e tije mar rito piny, to ne otamogi yudo. Ne ok ginyal yudo ketho moro amora kuome, nikech ne en ja-adiera e yore duto, kendo ne oonge gi tim mar kawo malangʼ, kata mar jwangʼo tich.
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.'
Bangʼ temo yore duto, jogi nowacho niya, “Ok wabi yudo wach moro amora ma wanyalo ketogo ketho kuom Daniel, makmana ka en gima omulo chik Nyasache.”
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!
Kuom mano, jotend jorit pinje, kaachiel gi jodongo, nodhi ir ruoth ma giwachone niya, “Yaye ruoth Darius, mad idag amingʼa!
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.
Jotend jotich duto mag ruoth, kaachiel gi jochik jotich, gi jorit pinje, gi jongʼad rieko kod jotend jorit pinje osewinjore ni ruoth onego ogol chik, kendo one ni chikno otiyo, mondo ngʼato angʼata molamo nyasaye moro amora kata dhano moro amora kuom ndalo piero adek mabiro, ma ok in, yaye ruoth, to mondo obol e bur sibuoche.
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.'
Koro, yaye ruoth, gol chikno, kendo ndike piny, ma ok nyal loke mana kaka chik jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia ma ok nyal loki.”
9 Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict.
Omiyo ruoth Darius nondiko chikno mogoyoe sei mar ruoth.
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.
Kane Daniel owinjo ni oseket sei e chikno nodhi e ode kama ne nitie ot moro man-gi dirise mochomo yo Jerusalem. Odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ Daniel ne goyo chonge piny kodwoko erokamano ni Nyasache nyadidek mana kaka nosebedo kotimo pile.
11 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and entreating grace before his God;
Eka chiengʼ moro jogi nodhi ire ka gin kanyakla mine giyudo Daniel ka lemo kendo kwayo Nyasache mondo okonye.
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.'
Omiyo negidhi ir ruoth kendo ne giwuoyo kode kuom chik mane osegolo: Donge nyocha iketo chik mindiko piny ni kuom ndalo piero adek mabiro ngʼato angʼata molamo nyasaye kata dhano moro amora ma ok in, yaye ruoth, to ibiro bol e bur sibuoche? Ruoth nodwoko niya, “Chikno osiko mana kaka chike jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia, ma ok nyal loki.”
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.'
Eka negiwachone ruoth niya, “Daniel ma en achiel kuom jo-Juda mane oter e twech, ok osedewi, yaye ruoth, bende ok osedewo chik mane iketo e ndiko. Pod olamo kido nyadidek e odiechiengʼ achiel.”
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.
Kane ruoth owinjo wachno, chunye nochandore; moramo ni nyaka ores Daniel, kendo notimo duto mane onyalo odiechiengno duto chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo mondo okonye.
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.'
Eka jogo duto nodhi ir ruoth mi giwacho niya, “Yaye ruoth, ngʼe ni kaluwore gi chik jo-Medes gi jo-Pasia, to onge chik ma ruoth osegolo manyalo lokore.”
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.'
Omiyo ruoth nogolo chik, kendo negikelo Daniel mi gibole e bur sibuoche, kendo ruoth nowachone Daniel niya, “Mad Nyasachi, mitiyone ndalo duto, konyi!”
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.
Bangʼ mano nokel kidi modin-go dho bur, kendo ruoth noketo sei gi lwete owuon gi mar jodonge, mondo kik ngʼato angʼata ores Daniel.
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.
Eka ruoth nodok e ode kendo otienono duto ne ok ochiemo bende ne ok oyie mondo joma mielne obi e nyime bende nindo notamore tere.
19 Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;
Okinyi mangʼich ka ugwe chako wuok, ruoth noa malo moreto nyaka e bur sibuoche.
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?'
Kane ochopo machiegni gi bur sibuoche, noluongo Daniel gi dwol maduongʼ ka chunye parore niya, “Daniel, jatij Nyasaye Mangima, bende Nyasachi mitiyone ndalo duto oseresi e dho sibuochego?”
21 Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: 'O king, to the ages live:
Daniel nodwoko niya, “Yaye ruoth, mad idag amingʼa!”
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.'
Nyasacha nooro malaikane, momako dho sibuoche. Ok gisehinya, nikech noyud ka aonge ketho e nyime, to kata in, yaye ruoth, pok atimo gimoro amora marach e nyimi.
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.
Ruoth ne mor ahinya mi nogolo chik mondo ogol Daniel ei bur sibuoche. Kane ogol Daniel oko e bur sibuoche, to ne ok noyudi kama lit moro amora e dende, nikech nogeno kuom Nyasache kinde duto.
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.
Ruoth nogolo chik, mi joma nohango ne Daniel wach nokel nobol e bur sibuoche, kaachiel gi mondgi gi nyithindgi. To sibuoche nongamogi gi ewi yamo kapok gichopo piny, kendo noturo chokegi duto matindo tindo.
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!
Eka ruoth Darius nondiko ne ogendini duto, gi pinje duto kod ji duto mawacho dhok mopogore opogore e piny duto kama: “Mad Nyasaye med gwedhou ahinya!”
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.
Asegolo chik ne pinje duto manie bwo lochna ni mondo ji duto oluor Nyasach Daniel kendo omiye duongʼ.
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.'
En ema oreso kendo okonyo ji;
28 And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Kuom mano Daniel nomedo dhi maber e ndalo loch mar Darius kendo e ndalo loch mar Sairas ja-Pasia.
