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,
Svidje se Dariju te postavi nad carstvom sto i pedeset upravitelja da budu nad svijem carstvom;
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.
A nad njima tri starješine, od kojih jedan bješe Danilo, kojima æe upravitelji davati raèune da ne bi caru bilo štete.
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.
A taj Danilo nadvišivaše starješine i upravitelje, jer u njemu bješe velik duh i car mišljaše da ga postavi nad svijem carstvom svojim.
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.
Tada starješine i upravitelji gledahu kako bi našli što da zabave Danilu radi carstva; ali ne mogahu naæi zabave ni pogrješke, jer bješe vjeran, i ne nalažaše se u njega pogrješke ni mane.
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.'
Tada rekoše oni ljudi: neæemo naæi na toga Danila ništa, ako ne naðemo što na nj radi zakona Boga njegova.
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!
Tada doðoše starješine i upravitelji k caru, i rekoše mu ovako: Darije care, da si živ dovijeka.
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.
Sve starješine u carstvu, poglavari i upravitelji, vijeænici i vojvode dogovoriše se da se postavi carska naredba i oštra zabrana da ko bi se god zamolio za što kome god bogu ili èovjeku za trideset dana osim tebi, care, da se baci u jamu lavovsku.
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.'
Zato, care, postavi tu zabranu i napiši da se ne može promijeniti, po zakonu Midskom i Persijskom, koji je nepromjenit.
9 Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict.
I car Darije napisa knjigu i zabranu.
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.
A Danilo kad dozna da je knjiga napisana, otide svojoj kuæi, gdje bijahu otvoreni prozori u njegovoj sobi prema Jerusalimu, i padaše na koljena svoja tri puta na dan i moljaše se i hvalu davaše Bogu svojemu kao što èinjaše prije.
11 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and entreating grace before his God;
Tada se sabraše oni ljudi, i naðoše Danila gdje se moli i pripada Bogu svojemu.
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.'
I otidoše te rekoše caru za carsku zabranu: nijesi li napisao zapovijest, da ko bi se god zamolio kome god bogu ili èovjeku za trideset dana, osim tebi, care, da se baci u jamu lavovsku? Car odgovori i reèe: tako je po zakonu Midskom i Persijskom, koji je nepromjenit.
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.'
Tada odgovoriše i rekoše caru: Danilo, koji je izmeðu roblja Judina, ne haje za te, care, ni za zabranu koju si napisao, nego se moli tri puta na dan svojom molitvom.
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.
Tada car èuvši to ožalosti se vrlo, i naumi da izbavi Danila, i truðaše se do zahoda sunèanoga da ga izbavi.
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.'
Tada oni ljudi sabraše se kod cara i rekoše caru: znaj, care, da je zakon u Midijana i Persijana da se nikakva zabrana i naredba, koju postavi car, ne mijenja.
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.'
Tada car reèe te dovedoše Danila i baciše ga u jamu lavovsku; i car progovori i reèe Danilu: Bog tvoj, kojemu bez prestanka služiš, neka te izbavi.
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.
I donesoše kamen i metnuše jami na vrata, i car ga zapeèati svojim prstenom i prstenom svojih knezova da se ništa ne promijeni za Danila.
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.
Tada otide car u svoj dvor, i prenoæi ne jedavši niti dopustivši da mu se donese što èim bi se razveselio, i ne može zaspati.
19 Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;
Potom car usta ujutru rano i otide brže k jami lavovskoj.
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?'
I kad doðe k jami, viknu Danila žalosnijem glasom; i progovori car i reèe Danilu: Danilo, slugo Boga živoga, Bog tvoj, kojemu služiš bez prestanka, može li te izbaviti od lavova?
21 Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: 'O king, to the ages live:
Tada Danilo reèe caru: care, da si živ dovijeka!
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.'
Bog moj posla anðela svojega i zatvori usta lavovima, te mi ne naudiše; jer se naðoh èist pred njim, a ni tebi, care, ne uèinih zla.
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.
Tada se car veoma obradova tomu, i zapovjedi da izvade Danila iz jame. I izvadiše Danila iz jame, i ne naðe se rane na njemu, jer vjerova Bogu svojemu.
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.
Potom zapovjedi car, te dovedoše ljude koji bijahu optužili Danila, i baciše u jamu lavovsku njih, djecu njihovu i žene njihove; i još ne doðoše na dno jami, a lavovi ih zgrabiše i sve im kosti potrše.
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!
Tada car Darije pisa svijem narodima i plemenima i jezicima što življahu u svoj zemlji: mir da vam se umnoži.
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.
Od mene je zapovijest da se u svoj državi carstva mojega svak boji i straši Boga Danilova, jer je on Bog živi, koji ostaje dovijeka, i carstvo se njegovo neæe rasuti, i vlast æe njegova biti do kraja;
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.'
On izbavlja i spasava, i èini znake i èudesa na nebu i na zemlji, on je izbavio Danila od sile lavovske.
28 And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
I taj Danilo bijaše sreæan za carovanja Darijeva i za carovanja Kira Persijanca.
