דניאל 6
| שְׁפַר קֳדָם דָּרְיָוֶשׁ וַהֲקִים עַל־מַלְכוּתָא לַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא מְאָה וְעֶשְׂרִין דִּי לֶהֱוֺן בְּכׇל־מַלְכוּתָֽא׃ | 1 |
And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;
| וְעֵלָּא מִנְּהוֹן סָרְכִין תְּלָתָה דִּי דָנִיֵּאל חַֽד־מִנְּהוֹן דִּֽי־לֶהֱוֺן אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא אִלֵּין יָהֲבִין לְהוֹן טַעְמָא וּמַלְכָּא לָֽא־לֶהֱוֵא נָזִֽק׃ | 2 |
and over them three governors, of whom one was Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the king should not be troubled.
| אֱדַיִן דָּנִיֵּאל דְּנָה הֲוָא מִתְנַצַּח עַל־סָרְכַיָּא וַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא כׇּל־קֳבֵל דִּי רוּחַ יַתִּירָא בֵּהּ וּמַלְכָּא עֲשִׁית לַהֲקָמוּתֵהּ עַל־כׇּל־מַלְכוּתָֽא׃ | 3 |
And Daniel was over them, for [there was] an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom.
| אֱדַיִן סָֽרְכַיָּא וַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא הֲווֹ בָעַיִן עִלָּה לְהַשְׁכָּחָה לְדָנִיֵּאל מִצַּד מַלְכוּתָא וְכׇל־עִלָּה וּשְׁחִיתָה לָא־יָכְלִין לְהַשְׁכָּחָה כׇּל־קֳבֵל דִּֽי־מְהֵימַן הוּא וְכׇל־שָׁלוּ וּשְׁחִיתָה לָא הִשְׁתְּכַחַת עֲלֽוֹהִי׃ | 4 |
Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful.
| אֱדַיִן גֻּבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ אָֽמְרִין דִּי לָא נְהַשְׁכַּח לְדָנִיֵּאל דְּנָה כׇּל־עִלָּה לָהֵן הַשְׁכַּחְנָֽא עֲלוֹהִי בְּדָת אֱלָהֵֽהּ׃ | 5 |
And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.
| אֱדַיִן סָרְכַיָּא וַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא אִלֵּן הַרְגִּשׁוּ עַל־מַלְכָּא וְכֵן אָמְרִין לֵהּ דָּרְיָוֶשׁ מַלְכָּא לְעָלְמִין חֱיִֽי׃ | 6 |
Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.
| אִתְיָעַטוּ כֹּל ׀ סָרְכֵי מַלְכוּתָא סִגְנַיָּא וַֽאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא הַדָּֽבְרַיָּא וּפַחֲוָתָא לְקַיָּמָה קְיָם מַלְכָּא וּלְתַקָּפָה אֱסָר דִּי כׇל־דִּֽי־יִבְעֵא בָעוּ מִן־כׇּל־אֱלָהּ וֶֽאֱנָשׁ עַד־יוֹמִין תְּלָתִין לָהֵן מִנָּךְ מַלְכָּא יִתְרְמֵא לְגֹב אַרְיָוָתָֽא׃ | 7 |
All who preside over thy kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statute and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
| כְּעַן מַלְכָּא תְּקִים אֱסָרָא וְתִרְשֻׁם כְּתָבָא דִּי לָא לְהַשְׁנָיָה כְּדָת־מָדַי וּפָרַס דִּי־לָא תֶעְדֵּֽא׃ | 8 |
Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed.
| כׇּל־קֳבֵל דְּנָה מַלְכָּא דָּֽרְיָוֶשׁ רְשַׁם כְּתָבָא וֶאֱסָרָֽא׃ | 9 |
Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written.
| וְדָנִיֵּאל כְּדִי יְדַע דִּֽי־רְשִׁים כְּתָבָא עַל לְבַיְתֵהּ וְכַוִּין פְּתִיחָן לֵהּ בְּעִלִּיתֵהּ נֶגֶד יְרוּשְׁלֶם וְזִמְנִין תְּלָתָה בְיוֹמָא הוּא ׀ בָּרֵךְ עַל־בִּרְכוֹהִי וּמְצַלֵּא וּמוֹדֵא קֳדָם אֱלָהֵהּ כׇּל־קֳבֵל דִּֽי־הֲוָא עָבֵד מִן־קַדְמַת דְּנָֽה׃ | 10 |
And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before.
| אֱדַיִן גֻּבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ הַרְגִּשׁוּ וְהַשְׁכַּחוּ לְדָנִיֵּאל בָּעֵה וּמִתְחַנַּן קֳדָם אֱלָהֵֽהּ׃ | 11 |
Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God.
| בֵּאדַיִן קְרִבוּ וְאָמְרִין קֳדָם־מַלְכָּא עַל־אֱסָר מַלְכָּא הֲלָא אֱסָר רְשַׁמְתָּ דִּי כׇל־אֱנָשׁ דִּֽי־יִבְעֵא מִן־כׇּל־אֱלָהּ וֶֽאֱנָשׁ עַד־יוֹמִין תְּלָתִין לָהֵן מִנָּךְ מַלְכָּא יִתְרְמֵא לְגוֹב אַרְיָוָתָא עָנֵה מַלְכָּא וְאָמַר יַצִּיבָא מִלְּתָא כְּדָת־מָדַי וּפָרַס דִּי־לָא תֶעְדֵּֽא׃ | 12 |
And they came and said to the king, O king, hast thou not made a decree, that whatsoever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass.
| בֵּאדַיִן עֲנוֹ וְאָמְרִין קֳדָם מַלְכָּא דִּי דָנִיֵּאל דִּי מִן־בְּנֵי גָלוּתָא דִּי יְהוּד לָא־שָׂם (עליך) [עֲלָךְ] מַלְכָּא טְעֵם וְעַל־אֱסָרָא דִּי רְשַׁמְתָּ וְזִמְנִין תְּלָתָה בְּיוֹמָא בָּעֵא בָּעוּתֵֽהּ׃ | 13 |
Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to thy decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.
| אֱדַיִן מַלְכָּא כְּדִי מִלְּתָא שְׁמַע שַׂגִּיא בְּאֵשׁ עֲלוֹהִי וְעַל דָּנִיֵּאל שָׂם בָּל לְשֵׁיזָבוּתֵהּ וְעַד מֶֽעָלֵי שִׁמְשָׁא הֲוָא מִשְׁתַּדַּר לְהַצָּלוּתֵֽהּ׃ | 14 |
Then the king, when he heard the saying, was much grieved for Daniel, and he greatly exerted himself for Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver him.
| בֵּאדַיִן גֻּבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ הַרְגִּשׁוּ עַל־מַלְכָּא וְאָמְרִין לְמַלְכָּא דַּע מַלְכָּא דִּֽי־דָת לְמָדַי וּפָרַס דִּֽי־כׇל־אֱסָר וּקְיָם דִּֽי־מַלְכָּא יְהָקֵים לָא לְהַשְׁנָיָֽה׃ | 15 |
Then those men said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that we must not change any decree or statute which the king shall make.
| בֵּאדַיִן מַלְכָּא אֲמַר וְהַיְתִיו לְדָנִיֵּאל וּרְמוֹ לְגֻבָּא דִּי אַרְיָוָתָא עָנֵה מַלְכָּא וְאָמַר לְדָנִיֵּאל אֱלָהָךְ דִּי (אנתה) [אַנְתְּ] פָּֽלַֽח־לֵהּ בִּתְדִירָא הוּא יְשֵׁיזְבִנָּֽךְ׃ | 16 |
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
| וְהֵיתָיִת אֶבֶן חֲדָה וְשֻׂמַת עַל־פֻּם גֻּבָּא וְחַתְמַהּ מַלְכָּא בְּעִזְקְתֵהּ וּבְעִזְקָת רַבְרְבָנוֹהִי דִּי לָא־תִשְׁנֵא צְבוּ בְּדָנִיֵּֽאל׃ | 17 |
And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed [it] with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel.
| אֱדַיִן אֲזַל מַלְכָּא לְהֵֽיכְלֵהּ וּבָת טְוָת וְדַחֲוָן לָא־הַנְעֵל קׇֽדָמוֹהִי וְשִׁנְתֵּהּ נַדַּת עֲלֽוֹהִי׃ | 18 |
And the king departed to his house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they did not molest Daniel.
| בֵּאדַיִן מַלְכָּא בִּשְׁ פַּ רְ פָּ רָא יְקוּם בְּנׇגְהָא וּבְהִתְבְּהָלָה לְגֻבָּא דִֽי־אַרְיָוָתָא אֲזַֽל׃ | 19 |
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in haste to the den of lions.
| וּכְמִקְרְבֵהּ לְגֻבָּא לְדָנִיֵּאל בְּקָל עֲצִיב זְעִק עָנֵה מַלְכָּא וְאָמַר לְדָנִיֵּאל דָּֽנִיֵּאל עֲבֵד אֱלָהָא חַיָּא אֱלָהָךְ דִּי (אנתה) [אַנְתְּ] פָּֽלַֽח־לֵהּ בִּתְדִירָא הַיְכִל לְשֵׁיזָבוּתָךְ מִן־אַרְיָוָתָֽא׃ | 20 |
And when he drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has thy God, whom thou servest continually, been able to deliver thee from the lion’s mouth?
| אֱדַיִן דָּנִיֵּאל עִם־מַלְכָּא מַלִּל מַלְכָּא לְעָלְמִין חֱיִֽי׃ | 21 |
And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.
| אֱלָהִי שְׁלַח מַלְאֲכֵהּ וּֽסְגַר פֻּם אַרְיָוָתָא וְלָא חַבְּלוּנִי כׇּל־קֳבֵל דִּי קׇֽדָמוֹהִי זָכוּ הִשְׁתְּכַחַת לִי וְאַף (קדמיך) [קׇֽדָמָךְ] מַלְכָּא חֲבוּלָה לָא עַבְדֵֽת׃ | 22 |
My God has sent his angel, and stopped the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before thee, O king, I have committed no trespass.
| בֵּאדַיִן מַלְכָּא שַׂגִּיא טְאֵב עֲלוֹהִי וּלְדָנִיֵּאל אֲמַר לְהַנְסָקָה מִן־גֻּבָּא וְהֻסַּק דָּנִיֵּאל מִן־גֻּבָּא וְכׇל־חֲבָל לָא־הִשְׁתְּכַח בֵּהּ דִּי הֵימִן בֵּאלָהֵֽהּ׃ | 23 |
Then the king was very glad for him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he believed in his God.
| וַאֲמַר מַלְכָּא וְהַיְתִיו גֻּבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ דִּֽי־אֲכַלוּ קַרְצוֹהִי דִּי דָֽנִיֵּאל וּלְגוֹב אַרְיָוָתָא רְמוֹ אִנּוּן בְּנֵיהוֹן וּנְשֵׁיהוֹן וְלָֽא־מְטוֹ לְאַרְעִית גֻּבָּא עַד דִּֽי־שְׁלִטֽוּ בְהוֹן אַרְיָוָתָא וְכׇל־גַּרְמֵיהוֹן הַדִּֽקוּ׃ | 24 |
And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones.
| בֵּאדַיִן דָּרְיָוֶשׁ מַלְכָּא כְּתַב לְֽכׇל־עַֽמְמַיָּא אֻמַּיָּא וְלִשָּׁנַיָּא דִּֽי־[דָיְרִין] (דארין) בְּכׇל־אַרְעָא שְׁלָמְכוֹן יִשְׂגֵּֽא׃ | 25 |
Then king Darius wrote to all nations, tribes, [and] languages, who dwell in all the earth, [saying], Peace be multiplied to you.
| מִן־קֳדָמַי שִׂים טְעֵם דִּי ׀ בְּכׇל־שׇׁלְטָן מַלְכוּתִי לֶהֱוֺן (זאעין) [זָיְעִין] וְדָחֲלִין מִן־קֳדָם אֱלָהֵהּ דִּי־דָֽנִיֵּאל דִּי־הוּא ׀ אֱלָהָא חַיָּא וְקַיָּם לְעָלְמִין וּמַלְכוּתֵהּ דִּֽי־לָא תִתְחַבַּל וְשׇׁלְטָנֵהּ עַד־סוֹפָֽא׃ | 26 |
This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that [men] tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living and eternal God, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion is for ever.
| מְשֵׁיזִב וּמַצִּל וְעָבֵד אָתִין וְתִמְהִין בִּשְׁמַיָּא וּבְאַרְעָא דִּי שֵׁיזִב לְדָֽנִיֵּאל מִן־יַד אַרְיָוָתָֽא׃ | 27 |
He helps and delivers, and works signs and wonders in the heaven and on the earth, who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.
| וְדָנִיֵּאל דְּנָה הַצְלַח בְּמַלְכוּת דָּרְיָוֶשׁ וּבְמַלְכוּת כּוֹרֶשׁ (פרסיא) [פָּרְסָאָֽה]׃ | 28 |
And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
