< Daniyel 6 >
1 Ya gamshi Dariyus ya naɗa muƙaddasai 120 su yi shugabanci a duk fāɗin masarautar,
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
2 ya naɗa mutum uku a bisa waɗannan muƙaddasan, Daniyel yana ɗaya daga cikin mutum ukun nan. Sai aka sa muƙaddasan nan a ƙarƙashin waɗannan uku ɗin domin kada sarki ya yi hasarar kome.
and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.
3 To, Daniyel dai ya yi ficce a cikin shugabannin nan uku har da muƙaddasan ma, saboda waɗansu halaye nagari da yake da su, wanda ya sa sarki ya yi shiri ya ɗora shi a kan dukan mulkinsa.
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 A kan haka, shugabannin nan uku da muƙaddasan nan suka yi ƙoƙari su sami wani laifi a kan Daniyel a yadda yake tafiyar da aikin shugabancinsa, amma ba su samu ba. Ba su same shi da wani laifin cin hanci ba, domin shi amintacce ne kuma babu wani aibi a kansa ko rashin kula.
Then the presidents and the local governors sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. There wasn’t any error or fault found in him.
5 A ƙarshe waɗannan mutane suka ce; “Ba za mu taɓa samun wani laifin da za mu kama Daniyel da shi ba, sai dai ko abin ya shafi dokar Allahnsa.”
Then these men said, “We won’t find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”
6 Saboda haka shugabannin nan suka haɗu da muƙaddasan nan suka tafi wurin sarki a ƙungiyance suka ce, “Ya Sarki Dariyus, ranka yă daɗe!
Then these presidents and local governors assembled together to the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever!
7 Shugabannin masarauta, da masu mulki, da muƙaddasai, da mashawarta da gwamnoni duk sun amince cewa sarki yă kafa doka yă kuma yi umarni cewa a cikin kwana talatin nan gaba duk wanda ya yi addu’a ga wani allah ko mutum, in ba a gare ka ba, ya sarki, jefa shi cikin kogon zakoki.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Yanzu, ya sarki, sai ka yi umarni ka kuma yi shi a rubuce saboda kada a canja shi, bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, waɗanda ba a iya sokewa.”
Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”
9 Sai Sarki Dariyus ya ba da umarnin a rubuce.
Therefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 To, da Daniyel ya ji labarin cewa an fitar da doka, sai ya tafi gidansa a ɗakinsa na sama inda tagogin ɗakin suke duban wajen Urushalima. Sau uku yakan durƙusa yă yi addu’a yana yin godiya ga Allahnsa, kamar yadda ya saba yi.
When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
11 Sai waɗannan mutane suka tafi a ƙungiyance suka kuma iske Daniyel yana addu’a yana roƙon Allah yă taimake shi.
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
12 Sai suka tafi wurin sarki suka yi masa magana game da dokar mulkinsa, suka ce, “Ashe, ba ka yi doka cewa a cikin kwana talatin nan gaba duk wanda aka tarar yana addu’a ga wani allah ko mutum in ba kai ba, ya sarki, za ka jefa shi a cikin ramin zakoki ba?” Sarki ya amsa ya ce, “Dokar tana nan daram bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, waɗanda ba a iya sokewa.”
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree: “Haven’t you signed a decree that every man who makes a petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?” The king answered, “This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”
13 Sai suka ce wa sarki, “Daniyel ɗin nan, wanda yake ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda aka kwaso daga Yahuda, bai kula da kai ba, ya sarki, balle fa dokar da ka yi. Har yanzu yana addu’a sau uku a rana.”
Then they answered and said before the king, “That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn’t respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”
14 Da sarki ya ji haka, sai ya damu sosai, ya ƙudura yă ceci Daniyel, ya yi ta fama har fāɗuwar rana yadda zai yi yă kuɓutar da shi.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.
15 Sai mutanen nan suka je wurin sarki a ƙungiyance suka ce masa, “Ka tuna, ya sarki; cewa bisa ga dokar Medes da Farisa, babu umarni ko dokar da sarki ya yi da za a iya sokewa.”
Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.”
16 Saboda haka sai sarki ya ba da umarni suka kuma kawo Daniyel suka jefa shi cikin ramin zakoki. Sarki ya ce wa Daniyel, “Bari Allahn nan wanda kake bauta masa kullum, yă cece ka!”
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”
17 Aka kawo dutsen aka rufe bakin ramin, sa’an nan sarki ya hatimce shi da zobensa da kuma zoban manyan mutanensa, don kada wani yă canja yanayin Daniyel.
A stone was brought, and laid on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
18 Sa’an nan sarki ya koma fadarsa ya kwana bai ci ba, kuma babu wata liyafar da aka kawo masa. Ya kuma kāsa barci.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
19 Gari yana wayewa, sai sarki ya tashi ya hanzarta zuwa ramin zakoki.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 Da ya yi kusa da ramin zakokin, sai ya kira Daniyel da muryar mai cike da damuwa ya ce, “Daniyel bawan Allah mai rai, ko Allahn nan naka wanda kake bauta wa kullum, ya iya cetonka daga zakoki?”
When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”
21 Sai Daniyel ya amsa ya ce, “Ran sarki, yă daɗe!
Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever!
22 Allahna ya aiko da mala’ikansa, ya kuwa rufe bakunan zakoki. Ba su yi mini rauni ba, gama an same ni marar laifi ne a gabansa. Ban kuwa taɓa yin wani abu marar kyau a gabanka ba, ya sarki.”
My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me, because innocence was found in me before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”
23 Sai sarki ya cika da murna ƙwarai, ya kuma yi umarni a ciro Daniyel daga ramin zakoki. Kuma da aka fito da Daniyel daga ramin, ba a sami wani rauni a jikinsa ba, domin ya dogara ga Allahnsa.
Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 Sai sarki ya umarta, a kawo mutanen nan da suka yi wa Daniyel maƙarƙashiya, a tura su, da’ya’yansu, da matansu cikin ramin zakoki. Kafin ma su kai ƙurewar ramin, sai zakoki suka hallaka su suka yayyage su, suka yi kaca-kaca da su.
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 mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Sa’an nan Sarki Dariyus ya rubuta wa dukan mutane, da al’ummai da kuma mutanen dukan harsunan a duk fāɗin ƙasar. “Bari yă yi nasara sosai!
Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages who dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you.
26 “Na fitar da doka cewa a cikin dukan iyakar ƙasar mulkina, dole mutane su ji tsoro su kuma girmama Allah na Daniyel.
“I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. “For he is the living God, and steadfast forever. His kingdom is that which will not be destroyed. His dominion will be even to the end.
27 Yakan kuɓutar ya kuma ceci;
He delivers and rescues. He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”
28 Daniyel kuwa ya bunkasa a lokacin mulkin Dariyus da kuma mulkin Sairus na Farisa.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
