Taneo 6
1 Hanki Midia mopareti ne' Dariusi'ma kinima efore huno maniteno'a, anama kegavama hia mopa 120'afi mopa refakohu osi osi huteno, ana mopa kegava hutere hanazegu gavana vahe huhampri zamante'ne.
King Darius decided to divide his kingdom into 120 provinces. He appointed a governor to rule each province.
2 Hagi anama huhampri zamante'nea vahete'ma kegavama huzmantesnaza vahera 3'a vahe huhampri zamante'ne. Ana 3'a vahe'ma huhampari zamante'nefina magora Danieli huhampari ante'neanki'za, kini ne'mofo zantaminte'enena zamagra kegava hugahaze.
He also appointed me and two other men to be administrators, to supervise the governors and to be sure that they did the king’s work [properly], in order that the king would not have to worry about anything.
3 Hanki anama huhampri zamante'nea vahepina Danieli eri'zamo'a knare zantfa higeno, kini ne'mo'a negeno anama kegavama hu'nea mopamofo agu'afina hunte'nigeno ugota kva ne' manisniegu antahintahi retro hu'ne.
I soon showed that I was (more capable/able to do the work better) than all the other administrators and the governors. Because of that, the king planned to appoint me to be in charge of the entire empire.
4 Hagi anama huhampri zamante'nea kva vahe'mo'za, Danieli'ma kamani eri'zama eri haviza hanige'za nege'zama kini ne'ma ome asamisnaza kankamunku hake'nazanagi, onketfa hu'naze. Na'ankure Danieli'a fatgo nekino, eri'zama eri'neana tamage kazigatike e'nerino, mago zana eri havizana osu'ne.
Then, the [other] administrators and the governors [became jealous. So they began to] try to find something that they could criticize about the way I was working for the king. But I always did my work faithfully and honestly, and was never lazy. So they could not find anything to criticize.
5 Ana hu'negu ana kva vahe'mo'za mago zupa zamagra'a amanage hu'za hu'naze. Danieli eri'zampina mago havizana keta eri forera osune. Ana hu'negu magoke kama me'neana, agrama Anumza'amofoma amage'ma nentea kasege'afi ufreta azeriteta keagafina avrentegahune.
They concluded, “The only way we can find something for which we can criticize Daniel will be something concerning the laws that his god [his given him].”
6 Anagema hute'za ana kva vahe'mo'za eri vararumi'za kini nete vu'za, amanage hu'za ome hu'naze. Kini ne' Dariusiga za'zate kinia maninka vugahane!
So the administrators and governors went as one group to the king and said, “(Your Majesty/O king), we wish that you will live a long time!
7 Kagri'ma kaza huta eri'zama e'neruna kva vahe'ene, antahintahima negamuna vahe'ene, gavana vahe'mota maka mago trimpa huta, kini ne'moka kantahigonanki, knare hu izo nehunka mago kasege antenka huhankavetisnanke'za, 30'a zage gnamofo agu'afina mago vahe'mo'a, mago'mofontero, mago anumzantero, mago vahete'enena nunamuna osanianki, kagriteke monora hugantesaze. Hagi mago vahemo'ma ana kasegema rutagresia vahera avre atresnankeno laionimofo kerifi uramigahie.
[We] administrators and governors and district governors and advisors and other officials have all agreed that you should make a law that everyone must obey. We want you to command that for the next thirty days people may pray only to you. If anyone prays to anyone else, either to a human or to a god, he must be thrown into [a pit of] lions.
8 E'ina hu'negu kini ne'moka menina hananke'za ana kasegea avontafete kretesnagenka, ana avontera kazanko avona krentesnankeno, Midia vahete'ene Pesia vahetera mago kasege efore huno me'nesnige'za eri otregahaze.
And because laws made by [our governments of] Media and Persia cannot be changed, [we want] you, [the head of our government], to sign it.”
9 Anagema hutazageno'a kini ne' Dariusi'a huzmantege'za ana kasegea avontafete kretazageno, ana avomofo agofetura agra'a agi kreno eri vakakinte'ne.
So King Darius [wrote] the law and signed it.
10 Hianagi Danieli'ma ana kasegere kini ne'mo'ma agima krenteno eri hankavetia nanekema nentahino'a, koma nehiaza huno noma'arega vuno, noma'amofo agofetu'ma me'nea nomofo hunaragintepinka rena ome nereno, zaho eri kama Jerusalemi kazigama me'neana eri nagi hagaro hu'ne. Ana nehuno mago zagemofo agu'afima 3'a zupama nunamuma huno Anumza'amofoma susu huntetere'ma nehiaza huno nunamuna hu'ne.
But when I found out that [the king] had [written and] signed that law, I went home. I knelt down in my upstairs room and prayed. I looked toward Jerusalem, and the windows were open [with the result that everyone could see me while I was praying]. I prayed three times each day, just as I always did, thanking God.
11 Anante kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'zama kema anaki'naza kante amage ante'za magoka eri vararumi'za vu'za Danieli nonte ome kazana, Anumza'amo'ma azama haninogu nunamu nehige'za ome ke'naze.
The officials went together [to my house] and they saw me praying and requesting God to help me.
12 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za kete'za kini nete e'za, Kagra kini ne'moka mago kasegea huhankavetinka, 30'a zagemofo agu'afina mago vahe'mo'a mago anumzante'ene mago vahetera nunamuna huonteno nagriteke nunamuna hugahie hunka nehunka, iza'o anama osania vahera azeri'na laionimofo kerifi atregahue hunka hunampi anagea osu'nane? Hazageno ana kenona kini ne'mo'a huno, Izo e'i Midia vahe'ene Pesia vahe'mokizmi kasege ko me'neankino, mago vahe'mo'e hunora eri otregahie.
So they returned to the king and said to him, “[Do you remember] that you wrote a law stating that for the next thirty days people may pray only to you, and if anyone prays to anyone else, either to a human or to a god, he will be thrown into [a pit of] lions?” The king replied, “[Yes, that is the law that I wrote]. It is a law of [our governments of] Media and Persia, which cannot be canceled.”
13 Anante kini nera asami'za, Juda ne'ma kinafima emani'nea ne' Danieli'a kagri kasegea rutagreno amagera onte'ne. Ana nehuno agra'a Anumzamofontega mago zagegnamofo agu'afina 3'a zupa nunamuna nehie.
Then they said to the king, “Well, that [man] Daniel, one of the men who were brought from Judah, is not paying any attention to you or the law that you [signed]. He prays [to his god] three times each day!”
14 Hazageno kini ne'mo'ma ana kema nentahigeno'a arimpamo'a tusi kna nehigeno mani'neno, inankna hu'na Danielina aza hugahueha huno antahintahi hakare nehuno, mani'negeno ana zupa zagemo'a ufregeno kinaga se'ne.
When the king heard that, he was very distressed. He tried to find a way to save me. All the rest of that day he tried to think of a way to rescue me.
15 Hagi kinaga zagema unefrege'za kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'za ete eri vararumi'za kini nete vu'za amanage ome hu'naze. Kini ne'moka kagra ko antahi'nane, Midia vahe'ene Pesia vahe'mo'za mago kasegema kini ne'mo'ma huhankaveti'nesnia kasegea mago vahe'mo'a ruotagregahie.
[In the evening, many of] [HYP] the officials went together to the king and said, “(Your Majesty/O king), you know that [our governments of] Media and Persia have declared that no law that the king signs can be canceled/changed. [So Daniel must be thrown to the lions!]”
16 Anagema hazageno'a kini ne' Dariusi'a huzmantege'za vu'za Danielina ome avre'za laionimofo kerifi ome atre'naze. Ana hutazageno kini ne'mo'a Danielina asamino, Maka zupa kagu'areti'ma hunka agri eri'zama enerina Anumzankamo'a kaza huno kavresie.
So the king gave the order, and his servants brought me and threw me into a pit where the lions [were]. [Before they threw me in], the king said to me, “I hope/wish that your God, whom you worship regularly, will rescue you!”
17 Hanki Danielima retufe vazi'naza kerimofo avazarera mago have eri'za renkani rente'naze. Anante kini ne'mo'ene eri'za vahe'amo'za ana havemofo agofetura avame'zana zamagia krete'za fukireti rekamarente'naze. Na'ankure vahe'mo'ma Danielima eme avre atre'zanku anara hu'naze.
They rolled a huge stone across the entrance to the pit. Then the king [fastened a string across the entrance and put wax at each end, and stamped the wax with] the seal from his [ring] and the seals [of the rings] of his officials, in order that no one could [secretly] rescue me.
18 Ana'ma hute'za kini nemo'a marerisa nonkuma'arega atreno vuno umani'neno, ana kenagera ne'zana oneno, ko'ma nehiazana huno eri'za vahe'a hige'za eme azeri musena osu'naze. Ana hazageno ana kenagera mani'neno avura omasetfa hu'ne.
Then the king returned to his palace. That night he refused to eat any food. He would not allow anyone to entertain him [because he did not want to be happy, with the result that he would forget about me. And that night] he was unable to sleep [because he was worried about me].
19 Hanki nanterame kini nemo'a otiazamo, ame huno laionimofo kerima me'nerega vu'ne.
At dawn the next morning, the king got up and went quickly to the pit where the lions were.
20 Ana kerire'ma kini ne' Dariusi'ma uhanatiteno'a, tusi asunku nehuno amanage hu'ne. Kasefa'ma huno mani'nea Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Danieliga, kagu'areti'ma hunka agri eri'zama erintenkama nevana Anumzamo'a kegava hugantege'za laionimo'za kahe'za one'nazafi?
When he came near it, he was very worried. He called out, “Daniel, you who serve the all-powerful God! Was your God, whom you worship regularly, able to save you from the lions?”
21 Anagema higeno'a Danieli'a kenona huno, Kini nemoka knare hunka za'zate kinia mani vava hunka vugahane!
I answered, “(Your Majesty/O king), I hope that you will live a long time!
22 Nagri Anumzamo'a ankero vahe'a huntegeno eno laioniramimofo zamagira eri hamunkige'za hazenkea onami'naze. Na'ankure Anumzamofo avurera hazeke'ni'a omanege'na, kini nemoka kagri zana magora eri havizana osu'nogu anara hu'ne.
[Yes], my God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths, in order that they would not harm me! [He did that] because [he knows that] I have done nothing that he thinks is wrong. And, (Your Majesty/O king), I never did anything wrong to you!”
23 Kini ne'mo'a tusi muse nehuno huzmantege'za, Danielina ana kerifintira avre atre'naze. Magore huno Danieli avufga reohakanene. Na'ankure agra'a Anumzamofonte amentinti hu'negu anara hu'ne.
The king was extremely happy, and he commanded [his servants] to lift me out of the pit. [When they did that, they] saw that the lions had not wounded me at all. [God had protected me] because I trusted in him.
24 Anante kini nemo'a hankavege huno vahera huzmanteno, Vuta Danielima havige hu'za kanivema rente'naza vahera ome nezamavareta, a'mofavre zaminena zamavareta vuta laionimofo kerifi ome zamaretufe vaziho huno huzmante'ne. Anage hige'za vu'za anazana ome hu'naze. Hianagi zahufa moparera uorami'nage'za, laionimo'za haru hu'za mareri'za zamazerite'za zaferi'nazamia anifunetagi'za taganataganu vaziza nenaze.
Then the king commanded that the men who had accused me should be seized and be thrown, along with their wives and children, into the pit where the lions were. [When they were thrown into the pit], the lions leaped on them and crushed their bones before they fell onto the bottom of the pit!
25 Hagi anante kini ne' Dariusi'a mago avona kreteno, atregeno kokankoka ana mopafima ru zamavufagane ru zamavufagane ru zamageru'ene ru zamageru'ene vahe'ma mani'narega nevigeno amanage hu'ne, musenke atre ramantoankita knare huta tamarimpa frune manigahaze.
Then King Darius wrote [this message and sent it throughout his kingdom] to the people of every people-group and nation and from all language groups: “I wish/hope that everything is going very well with you!
26 Maka ama nagrama kegavama hu'noa mopafi vahe'mota kasefa'ma huno mani'nea Anumzana Danieli Anumzamofonku korora hunteho. Na'ankure kasefa huno mani'neno, manivava nehia Anumzankino, agra kinia manivava huno nevanigeno, hankave'amo'a vaga oregahie.
I command that everyone in my kingdom should fear and revere the God that Daniel [worships]. He is the all-powerful God, and he will live forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed; he will rule forever.
27 Ana hu'neankino ana Anumzamo'a agra vahe'a zamagu vazino nezmavreno, monafine mopafinena kaguva zane avame'zanena eri fore nehia Anumzankino, laionimofo hankavefintira Danielina aza huno avre'ne.
He rescues and saves [his people]. He performs all kinds of miracles in heaven and on the earth. He rescued Daniel from the power of the lions!”
28 Ana hutegeno Dariusi'ma kinima mani'nea knafine, Pesia kini ne' Sairusi'ma kinima mania knafina, Danieli avatera mago zana fore osigeno knare huno mani'ne.
So I was successful [all] during the time that Darius ruled and during the time that Cyrus, [the King] of Persia, ruled.
