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 pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes, who should be over 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 over these three presidents; of whom Daniel [was] first: that the princes might give accounts to them, and the king should have no damage.
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 was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
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 princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he [was] faithful, neither was there any error or fault 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 said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find [it] against him concerning 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 princes assembled to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever.
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.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counselors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the 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, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 Konsa Darius, wa a, te siyen dokiman an, ak dekrè a.
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
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.
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber towards Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
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 assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication 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 came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [a petition] of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing [is] true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
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 answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who [is] of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
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 heard [these] words, was much displeased with himself, and set [his] heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he labored till the setting of the sun 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 assembled to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians [is], That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may 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 commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast [him] into the den of lions. [Now] the king spoke and said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
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 was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be 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 went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from 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 arose very early in the morning, and went 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 when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel: [and] the king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
21 Konsa, Daniel te reponn a wa a: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan!
Then said Daniel to the king, O king, live for ever.
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 hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
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 exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was taken out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he 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 commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast [them] into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.
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 king Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
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.
I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he [is] the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion [shall be even] 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.”
He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 Konsa, Daniel sila a te vin pwospere pandan règn a Darius la, e pandan règn a Cyrus, Pès la.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
