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,
Li te fè Darius plezi pou chwazi san-ven satrap sou wayòm nan, pou yo ta kapab pran chaj a tout wayòm nan.
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.
Epi sou yo menm, twa chèf. Youn nan chèf sila yo se te Daniel. Satrap sila yo ta dwe responsab bay kont sou yo menm, pou wa a pa ta soufre okenn pèt.
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.
Daniel te kòmanse distenge li menm pami chèf ak satrap yo akoz li te posede yon lespri ekstrawòdinè, e wa a te fè plan pou plase li sou tout wayòm nan.
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.
Konsa, chèf ak satrap yo te kòmanse chache pou twouve yon koz akizasyon kont Daniel nan zafè wayòm nan; men yo pa t ka jwenn okenn baz pou akize l, ni okenn koripsyon, akoz li te fidèl. Okenn neglijans ni koripsyon pa t ka twouve nan li.
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.'
Epi mesye sila yo te di: “Nou p ap jwenn okenn mwayen pou fè akizasyon kont Daniel eksepte nou jwenn sa kont li konsènan lalwa Bondye li a.”
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!
Alò, chèf sila yo ak satrap yo te antann yo pou te parèt devan wa a, e te pale avèk li konsa: “Wa Darius, viv jis pou tout tan!
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.
Tout chèf wayòm ak prefè yo, satrap yo, wo ofisyèl ak gouvènè yo te fè konsiltasyon ansanm pou wa a ta etabli yon estati e fè yon dekrè pou nenpòt moun ki ta fè yon priyè a yon lòt dye oswa lòm sof ke ou menm pandan trant jou, o wa, dwe jete nan fòs lyon an.
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.'
Alò, O wa, fè dekrè a e siyen dokiman pou l pa ka chanje selon lalwa Mèd ak Pès yo, ki p ap ka chanje.”
9 Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict.
Konsa Darius, wa a, te siyen dokiman an, ak dekrè a.
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.
Alò, lè Daniel te konnen ke dokiman an te fin siyen, li te lantre lakay li (alò, nan chanm anwo a, te gen fenèt ki te ouvri vè Jérusalem), epi li te mete li sou jenou li twa fwa pa jou, pou fè lapriyè, e bay remèsiman devan Bondye li a, jan li te kon fè oparavan an.
11 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and entreating grace before his God;
Alò, mesye sila yo te reyini ansanm e yo te vin jwenn Daniel ki t ap fè petisyon ak siplikasyon li devan Bondye li a.
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.'
Konsa, yo te pwoche pou te pale devan wa a konsènan dekrè a: “Èske ou pa t siyen yon dekrè ke yon moun ki ta fè petisyon a yon lòt dye oswa lòm sof ke ou menm, O wa, pandan trant jou, ta vin jete nan fòs lyon an?” Wa a te reponn: “Pawòl sa a se verite, selon Lalwa a Mèd ak Pès yo, ki p ap ka chanje menm.”
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.'
Epi yo te reponn, e te pale devan wa a: “Daniel, ki se youn nan egzile ki soti Juda yo pa okipe ou, O wa, ni dekrè ke ou te siyen an, men kontinye fè petisyon li yo twa fwa pa jou.”
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.
Alò, depi wa a te fin tande pawòl sa a, li te vin byen twouble e te dirije panse li sou mwayen pou delivre Daniel. Epi jiskaske solèy fin kouche, li te kontinye fè efò pou l ta ka sove li.
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.'
Alò, mesye sila yo te rasanble ansanm devan wa a. Yo te di wa a: “Byen konprann, O wa, ke sa se yon lwa a Mèd ak Pès yo, ke okenn pwosè legal, ni dekrè ke wa a ta etabli, pa kapab chanje.”
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.'
Konsa, wa a te pase lòd pou mennen Daniel jete nan fos lyon an. Wa a te pale. Li te di a Daniel: “Bondye ou a, ke ou sèvi san rete a, va Li menm, delivre ou.”
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.
Yon wòch te mennen pou te plase sou bouch a fòs la, epi wa a te sele li ak pwòp bag so li a, e ak bag so a prens li yo, pou anyen pa ta chanje konsènan 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.
Konsa, wa a te ale nan palè li e te pase nwit lan nan fè jèn. Pa t gen okenn enstriman mizik ki te pote devan l, epi somèy te kite l.
19 Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;
Alò, wa a te leve avan solèy la, lè bajou fenk kase, e li te fè vit ale nan fòs lyon an.
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?'
Lè li te vin pre fòs kote Daniel la, li te kriye fò ak yon vwa byen twouble. Wa a te pale e te di a Daniel: “Daniel, sèvitè a Bondye vivan an, èske Bondye ou a, ke ou sèvi san rete a te gen kapasite pou delivre ou de lyon yo?”
21 Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: 'O king, to the ages live:
Konsa, Daniel te reponn a wa a: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan!
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.'
Bondye mwen an te voye zanj li. Li te fèmen bouch a lyon yo e yo pa t fè m okenn mal, paske, mwen te twouve inosan devan l, e anplis, anvè ou menm, O wa a, mwen pa t fè okenn krim.”
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.
Wa a te vrèman kontan e te pase lòd pou Daniel ta retire nan fòs la. Konsa, Daniel te vin retire nan fòs la e okenn blesi pa t menm twouve sou li, akoz li te mete konfyans nan Bondye li a.
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.
Konsa, wa a te pase lòd pou yo te mennen mesye sila ki te aji ak movèz fwa, pou akize Daniel yo, e yo te jete yo menm, pitit yo ak madanm yo nan fòs lyon an. Konsa, yo pa t menm rive nan baz fòs la avan lyon yo te sezi yo e te kraze tout zo yo.
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!
Epi Darius, wa a te ekri a tout pèp yo, nasyon ak lang ki t ap viv nan tout peyi a: “Ke lapè ou kapab vin miltipliye!
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.
Mwen fè yon dekrè ke nan tout dominasyon wayòm mwen an, pou tout moun gen pou gen lakrent e tranble devan Dye Daniel la; Paske Li se Bondye vivan an, ki dire jis pou tout tan an, epi wayòm Li an se yon wayòm ki p ap janm detwi. Règn li an va jis pou tout tan.
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.'
Li delivre e Li sove, Li fè sign ak mèvèy nan syèl la ak sou tè a. Li menm ki te delivre Daniel soti nan pouvwa a lyon yo.”
28 And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Konsa, Daniel sila a te vin pwospere pandan règn a Darius la, e pandan règn a Cyrus, Pès la.
