Danyèl 6
1 Li te fè Darius plezi pou chwazi san-ven satrap sou wayòm nan, pou yo ta kapab pran chaj a tout wayòm nan.
It has been good before Darius, and he has established over the kingdom satraps—one hundred and twenty—that they may be throughout the whole kingdom,
2 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.
and three presidents higher than they, of whom Daniel [is] first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss.
3 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.
Then this Daniel has been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit [is] in him, and the king has thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.
4 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.
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 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.”
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 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!
Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: “O King Darius, live for all ages!
7 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.
Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counselors, and the governors, to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict, that any who seeks a petition from any god and man until thirty days, except of you, O king, is cast into a den of lions.
8 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.”
Now, O king, you establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and Persia, that does not pass away.”
9 Konsa Darius, wa a, te siyen dokiman an, ak dekrè a.
Therefore King Darius has signed the writing and interdict.
10 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.
And Daniel, when he has known that the writing is signed, has gone up to his house, and the window being opened for him, in his upper chamber, toward 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 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.
Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and pleading grace before his God;
12 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.”
then they have come near, indeed, they are saying before the king concerning the king’s interdict: “Have you not signed an interdict, that any man who seeks from any god and man until thirty days, except of you, O king, is cast into a den of lions?” The king has answered and said, “The thing [is] certain as a law of Media and Persia, that does not pass away.”
13 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.”
Then they have answered, indeed, they are saying before the king, that, “Daniel, who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, has not placed on you, O king, [any] regard, nor on the interdict that you have signed, and three times in a day he is seeking his petition.”
14 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.
Then the king, when he has heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he has set the heart to deliver him, and until the going up of the sun he was arranging to deliver him.
15 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.”
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 establishes is not to be changed.”
16 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.”
Then the king has spoken, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast [him] into a den of lions. The king has answered and said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you are serving continually, delivers you Himself.”
17 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.
And a stone has been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king has sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose is not changed concerning Daniel.
18 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.
Then the king has gone to his palace, and he has passed the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before him, and his sleep has fled [from] off him.
19 Alò, wa a te leve avan solèy la, lè bajou fenk kase, e li te fè vit ale nan fòs lyon an.
Then the king rises in the early morning, at the light, and he has gone in haste to the den of lions;
20 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?”
and at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a grieved voice, he cries. The king has answered and said to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God, whom you are serving continually, is He able to deliver you from the lions?”
21 Konsa, Daniel te reponn a wa a: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan!
Then Daniel has spoken with the king: “O king, live for all ages:
22 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.”
my God has sent His messenger, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity has been found in me; and also before you, O king, injury I have not done.”
23 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.
Then was the king very glad for him, and he has commanded Daniel to be taken up out of the den, and Daniel has been taken up out of the den, and no injury has been found in him, because he has believed in his God.
24 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.
And the king has spoken, 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 until the lions have power over them, and all their bones they have broken small.
25 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!
Then Darius the king has written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: “Your peace be great!
26 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.
From before me a decree is made, 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 for all ages, and His kingdom that which [is] not destroyed, and His dominion [is] to the end.
27 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.”
A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth [is] He who has delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.”
28 Konsa, Daniel sila a te vin pwospere pandan règn a Darius la, e pandan règn a Cyrus, Pès la.
And this Daniel has prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
