Danieli 6
1 Na rĩrĩ, Dario nĩonire athuure anene 120 nĩguo matuĩke a gwathanaga ũthamaki-inĩ wake wothe.
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,
2 Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩiga atongoria atatũ matuĩke anene a acio angĩ, na ũmwe wa acio atatũ aarĩ Danieli. Anene acio atatũ maigirwo nĩgeetha marehagĩrwo ũhoro nĩ anene acio angĩ a bũrũri, nĩgeetha indo cia mũthamaki itikoore.
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.
3 Nake Danieli akĩoneka arĩ wa mwanya harĩ atongoria acio angĩ othe o na anene nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aarĩ kĩyo mũrutĩre-inĩ wake wa wĩra, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩtanya kũmũtua mwathi wa ũthamaki ũcio wake wothe.
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.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio atongoria na anene acio angĩ magĩcaria ũndũ mangĩcuukĩra Danieli wĩra-inĩ wake wa gwathana, no makĩaga ihĩtia. Nĩmagire ũndũ mangĩmũcuukĩra, tondũ aarĩ mwĩhokeku, akaaga ũcuuke kana ihĩtia mĩthiĩre-inĩ yake.
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.
5 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ andũ acio makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ tũkoona ũndũ tũngĩcuukĩra Danieli, tiga ũkorirwo nĩ ũndũ ũkoniĩ watho wa Ngai wake.”
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.'
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio atongoria na anene a bũrũri magĩthiĩ marĩ gĩkundi kũrĩ mũthamaki, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Wee Mũthamaki Dario, ũrotũũra nginya tene!
Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: 'O king Darius, to the ages live!
7 Ithuĩ tũrĩ atongoria a ũthamaki ũyũ, na anyabara, na anene a bũrũri, na andũ arĩa mataaraga mũthamaki o na abarũthi othe, nĩtũciirĩte tũkoona arĩ wega we mũthamaki ũrute watho naguo ũhinyĩrĩrio atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũngĩhooya ngai o na ĩrĩkũ kana mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, tiga akũhooire wee mũthamaki, ihinda rĩa matukũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ rĩtanathira, no nginya aikio irima-inĩ rĩa mĩrũũthi.
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.
8 Na rĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki, athana watho ũcio ũgĩe ho na wandĩkwo, nawe ũwĩkĩre mũhũũri nĩgeetha ndũkagarũrwo, kũringana na mawatho ma Amedi na ma Aperisia marĩa matagarũragwo.”
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.'
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Dario akĩandĩka watho ũcio na agĩĩkĩra mũhũũri.
Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict.
10 Rĩrĩa Danieli aamenyire atĩ watho ũcio nĩ wandĩkĩtwo-rĩ, akĩinũka gwake, akĩhaica kanyũmba gake ka igũrũ harĩa ndirica cia nyũmba yake ciahingũragwo irorete mwena wa Jerusalemu. O mũthenya, nĩatuuragia ndu maita matatũ akahooya Ngai, akĩmũcookagĩria ngaatho o ta ũrĩa aamenyerete gwĩka hau kabere.
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.
11 Nao andũ acio magĩthiĩ marĩ hamwe, magĩkora Danieli akĩhooya agĩthaitha Ngai amũteithie.
Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and entreating grace before his God;
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ harĩ mũthamaki na makĩaria nake igũrũ rĩa uuge ũcio wa mũthamaki: Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndwandĩkithirie watho atĩ handũ ha matukũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ, mũndũ ũngĩhooya ngai o na ĩrĩkũ kana ahooe mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tiga o we mũthamaki, no nginya aikio irima-inĩ rĩa mĩrũũthi?” Mũthamaki agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Watho ũcio ũrĩ o ho, kũringana na mawatho ma Amedi na Aperisia, marĩa matagarũragwo.”
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.'
13 Nao magĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Danieli, ũmwe wa andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo kuuma Juda, ndagwathĩkagĩra wee mũthamaki, kana agaathĩkĩra watho ũrĩa wee mwene wandĩkithĩtie. O na rĩu no ahooyaga Ngai wake maita matatũ o mũthenya.”
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.'
14 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki aaiguire ũhoro ũcio, akĩigua kĩeha mũno; agĩtua itua rĩa kũhonokia Danieli, na mũthenya ũcio wothe aatindire akĩgeria ũrĩa angĩhonokia Danieli o nginya riũa rĩgĩthũa.
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.
15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ acio makĩũngana rĩngĩ magĩthiĩ harĩ mũthamaki na makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ririkana, wee mũthamaki, atĩ kũringana na watho wa Amedi na Aperisia, watho ũrĩa mũrute kana mwandĩke nĩ mũthamaki ndũngĩgarũrwo.”
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.'
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩathana, nao makĩrehe Danieli na makĩmũikia irima-inĩ rĩa mĩrũũthi. Mũthamaki akĩĩra Danieli atĩrĩ, “Ngai waku ũrĩa ũtungatagĩra hĩndĩ ciothe-rĩ, arogũteithũra!”
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.'
17 Ihiga rĩkĩreehwo, rĩkĩigwo mũromo-inĩ wa irima rĩu, nake mũthamaki agĩĩkĩra mũhũũri na gĩcũhĩ gĩake mwene na icũhĩ cia andũ ake arĩa marĩ igweta, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe ũndũ ũngĩgarũrwo ũkoniĩ Danieli.
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.
18 Nake Mũthamaki agĩcooka nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki, nake akĩraara ehingĩte kũrĩa irio na atarĩ na maũndũ ma gwĩkenia. Na ũtukũ ũcio wothe ndaigana kuona toro.
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.
19 Na kwarooka gũkĩa-rĩ, mũthamaki agĩũkĩra tene, agĩthiĩ ahiũhĩte erekeire irima-inĩ rĩa mĩrũũthi.
Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;
20 Na aakuhĩrĩria irima rĩu, agĩĩta Danieli na mũgambo ũrĩ na ruo rũnene, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Danieli, wee ndungata ya Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo, Ngai waku ũrĩa ũtungatagĩra hĩndĩ ciothe nĩakũhonoketie kuuma kũrĩ mĩrũũthi?”
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?'
21 Nake Danieli agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki, ũrotũũra nginya tene!
Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: 'O king, to the ages live:
22 Ngai wakwa nĩarandũmĩire mũraika wake, nake arahinga mĩrũũthi tũnua. Ndĩrĩ ũndũ mũũru ĩnjĩkĩte, tondũ nĩnyonetwo itarĩ na mahĩtia njĩkĩte maitho-inĩ make. Ningĩ o na wee mũthamaki ndirĩ ndaakũhĩtĩria.”
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.'
23 Nake mũthamaki agĩkena mũno na agĩathana Danieli arutwo irima rĩu rĩa mĩrũũthi. Nake Danieli aarutwo irima-inĩ rĩu rĩa mĩrũũthi, ndaarĩ na handũ aagurarĩtio, tondũ we nĩehokete Ngai wake.
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.
24 Nake Mũthamaki agĩathana, akiuga atĩ andũ arĩa maathitangĩte Danieli manyiitwo, macooke marehwo na maikio irima-inĩ rĩu rĩa mĩrũũthi, hamwe na atumia ao, na ciana ciao. Na rĩrĩ, o na matanakinya irima gĩtina-rĩ, mĩrũũthi ĩyo ĩkĩmakĩria hinya, na ĩkĩhehenja mahĩndĩ mao mothe.
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.
25 Mũthamaki Dario agĩcooka akĩandĩkĩra andũ othe, na ndũrĩrĩ, na andũ a mĩario yothe bũrũri-inĩ guothe marũa, akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Mũrogaacĩra mũno makĩria!
Then Darius the king hath written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: 'Your peace be great!
26 “Nĩndahĩtũkia watho, atĩ kũrĩa guothe ũthamaki ũyũ wakwa wakinya-rĩ, andũ no nginya metigagĩre na matĩĩage Ngai wa Danieli.
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.
27 Nĩwe ũteithũranaga na akahonokania;
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.'
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Danieli akĩgaacĩra hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Dario, o na wathani-inĩ wa Kurusu ũrĩa Mũperisia.
And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
