Daniela 6
1 Sitrak’ i Dariosa ny hanendry solo-mpanjaka roa-polo amby zato hanapaka ny fanjakana, izay hanapaka ny fanjakana rehetra.
It pleased Darius to set ouer the kingdome an hundreth and twentie gouernours, which should be ouer the whole kingdome,
2 Koa tamin’ ireo dia nisy komandy lehibe telo lahy, ary Daniela no anankiray tamin’ ireo, mba hilazan’ ny solo-mpanjaka ny raharaha tsy hahafatiantoka ny mpanjaka.
And ouer these, three rulers (of whome Daniel was one) that the gouernours might giue accompts vnto them, and the King should haue no domage.
3 Izany Daniela izany dia nihoatra noho ny komandy lehibe sy ny solo-mpanjaka namany, fa nanam-panahy hendry izy; ary ny mpanjaka nikasa hanandratra azy ho lehibe amin’ ny fanjakana rehetra.
Now this Daniel was preferred aboue the rulers and gouernours, because the spirit was excellent in him, and the King thought to set him ouer the whole realme.
4 Koa ny komandy lehibe sy ny solo-mpanjaka dia nitady izay hiampangany an’ i Daniela ny amin’ ny fanjakana, nefa tsy nahita izay hiampangany azy na izay tsininy akory ireo, satria marina izy, ka tsy nisy kilema na tsiny hita taminy.
Wherefore the rulers and gouernours sought an occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdome: but they could finde none occasion nor fault: for he was so faithfull that there was no blame nor fault found in him.
5 Dia hoy ireo lehilahy ireo: Tsy ho hitantsika izay hiampangantsika io Daniela io raha tsy ny amin’ ny lalan’ Andriamaniny no misy hitantsika hiampangana azy.
Then sayd these men, We shall not finde an occasion against this Daniel, except we finde it against him concerning the Law of his God.
6 Dia somaritaka nivory ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka ireo komandy lehibe sy solo-mpanjaka ireo; ary izao no nataony taminy: Ry Dariosa mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao.
Therefore the rulers and these gouernours went together to the King, and sayde thus vnto him, King Darius, liue for euer.
7 Ny komandy lehibe rehetra amin’ ny fanjakana sy ny mpanapaka sy ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny mpanolo-tsaina ary ny governora dia mifanara-kevitra fa tokony hanao lalàna sy didy mafy ianao, ry mpanjaka, ka na zovy na zovy no hanao fangatahana ato anatin’ ny telo-polo andro, na amin’ Andriamanitra na amin’ olona, afa-tsy aminao ihany, ry mpanjaka ô, dia hatsipy ao an-davaky ny liona izy.
All the rulers of thy kingdome, the officers and gouernours, the counsellers, and dukes haue consulted together to make a decree for the King and to establish a statute, that whosoeuer shall aske a petition of any god or man for thirtie dayes saue of thee, O King, he shalbe cast into the denne of lyons.
8 Ankehitriny, ry mpanjaka ô, ataovy mafy ny lalàna, ka asio sonia mba tsy hiova, araka ny lalàn’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana izay tsy azo ovana.
Nowe, O King, confirme the decree, and seale the writing, that it be not changed according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 Ary noho izany dia nasian’ i Dariosa mpanjaka sonia izany lalàna sy didy izany.
Wherefore King Darius sealed the writing and the decree.
10 Nony fantatr’ i Daniela fa efa voaisy sonia ny didy, dia nankao an-tranony izy; ary ny varavarankelin’ ny tranony ambony nanandrify an’ i Jerosalema dia nivoha. Koa intelo isan’ andro no nandohalika ka nivavaka sy nisaotra teo anatrehan’ Andriamaniny izy, satria fanaony hatramin’ ny taloha izany.
Now when Daniel vnderstood that he had sealed the writing, hee went into his house, and his window being open in his chamber toward Ierusalem, he kneeled vpon his knees three times a day, and prayed and praysed his God, as he did aforetime.
11 Dia somaritaka nivory ireo lehilahy ireo ka nahita an’ i Daniela mangataka sy mifona eo anatrehan’ Andriamaniny.
Then these men assembled, and founde Daniel praying, and making supplication vnto his God.
12 Dia nanatona izy ka niteny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka noho ny amin’ ilay lalàn’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Moa tsy misy lalàna nasianao sonia fa na zovy na zovy no hanao fangatahana, na amin’ Andriamanitra na amin’ olona, ato anatin’ ny telo-polo andro afa-tsy aminao ihany, ry mpanjaka ô, dia hatsipy ao an-davaky ny liona? Ny mpanjaka namaly ka nanao hoe: Marina izany, dia araka ny lalàn’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana izay tsy azo ovana.
So they came and, spake vnto the King concerning the Kings decree, Hast thou not sealed the decree, that euery man that shall make a request to any god or man within thirtie dayes, saue to thee, O King, shall be cast into the denne of lyons? The King answered, and sayd, The thing is true, according to the Lawe of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
13 Dia niteny ireo ka nanao teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Ilay Daniela, isan’ ny babo avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, dia tsy manaiky anao, na ny lalàna izay nasianao sonia, ry mpanjaka ô, fa manao fangatahana intelo isan’ andro izy.
Then answered they, and sayd vnto the King, This Daniel which is of the children of the captiuitie of Iudah, regardeth not thee, O King, nor the decree, that thou hast sealed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14 Dia tezitra indrindra ny mpanjaka, raha nahare izany teny izany, nefa matiny ihany izy ny hanafaka an’ i Daniela, ka nanao izay tratry ny heviny hamonjy azy mandra-pilentiky ny masoandro.
When the King heard these wordes, hee was sore displeased with himselfe, and set his heart on Daniel, to deliuer him: and he laboured till the sunne went downe, to deliuer him.
15 Dia somaritaka nivory ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka ireo lehilahy ireo ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Aoka ho fantatrao, ry mpanjaka, fa izao no lalàn’ ny Mediana sy ny Persiana: Ny lalàna sy ny didy izay efa navoaky ny mpanjaka dia tsy azo ovana.
Then these men assembled vnto the King, and sayde vnto ye King, Vnderstand, O King, that the lawe of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree nor statute which the King confirmeth, may be altered.
16 Dia nandidy ny mpanjaka; ary nentina Daniela ka natsipy tao an-davaky ny liona. Dia niteny ny mpanjaka ka nanao tamin’ i Daniela hoe: Andriamanitrao Izay tompoinao mandrakariva anie hamonjy anao.
Then the King commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the denne of lyons: now the King spake, and said vnto Daniel, Thy God, whome thou alway seruest, euen he will deliuer thee.
17 Ary nisy vato natampina ny vava-lavaka; ary ny mpanjaka nanomboka izany tamin’ ny fanombohan-kaseny sy tamin’ ny fanombohan-kasen’ ny andriandahiny, mba tsy hovana ny teny ny amin’ i Daniela.
And a stone was brought, and layed vpon the mouth of the denne, and the King sealed it with his owne signet, and with the signet of his princes, that the purpose might not be changed, concerning Daniel.
18 Dia nody tany an-dapany ny mpanjaka ary tsy nitendry hanina mandritra ny alina, sady tsy nisy zava-maneno nampidirina teo anatrehany, ary tsy nahita torimaso izy.
Then the King went vnto his palace, and remained fasting, neither were the instruments of musike brought before him, and his sleepe went from him.
19 Dia nifoha maraina koa ny mpanjaka ka nandeha faingana ho any amin’ ny lavaky ny liona.
Then the King arose early in the morning, and went in all haste vnto the denne of lyons.
20 Ary nony tonga teo amin’ ny lavaka izy, dia niantso an’ i Daniela tamin’ ny feo malahelo; eny, niteny ny mpanjaka ka nanao tamin’ i Daniela hoe: Ry Daniela, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra velona ô, moa Andriamanitrao Izay tompoinao mandrakariva mahavonjy anao amin’ ny liona va?
And when he came to the denne, he cryed with a lamentable voyce vnto Daniel: and the King spake, and saide to Daniel, O Daniel, the seruant of ye liuing God, is not thy God (whom thou alway seruest) able to deliuer thee from the lyons?
21 Namaly ny mpanjaka Daniela hoe: Ry mpanjaka, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao.
Then saide Daniel vnto the King, O King, liue for euer.
22 Andriamanitro efa naniraka ny anjeliny ka nanakombona ny vavan’ ny liona tsy handratra ahy, satria fahamarinana no hitany tamiko; ary teo anatrehanao koa, ry mpanjaka ô, tsy nanao ratsy aho.
My God hath sent his Angel and hath shut the lyons mouthes, that they haue not hurt mee: for my iustice was founde out before him: and vnto thee, O King, I haue done no hurt.
23 Dia faly indrindra ny mpanjaka, ka nasainy nakarina avy ao an-davaka Daniela. Dia nakarina avy tao an-davaka Daniela, ary tsy hita nisy naratra izy, satria nino an’ Andriamaniny.
Then was the King exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel out of the denne: so Daniel was brought out of the denne, and no maner of hurt was found vpon him, because he beleeued in his God.
24 Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy, ka nentina ireo lehilahy niampanga an’ i Daniela ireo, dia natsipy tao an-davaky ny liona izy mbamin’ ny vadiny aman-janany, ary ny liona nanan-kery taminy ka nanapatapaka ny taolany, raha tsy mbola nipaka tamin’ ny vodin’ ny lavaka akory aza izy.
And by the commandement of the King these me which had accused Daniel, were brought, and were cast into the denne of lions, euen they, their children, and their wiues: and the lyons had the mastry of them, and brake all their bones a pieces, or euer they came at the groud of the denne.
25 Tamin’ izany Dariosa mpanjaka dia nanoratra ho amin’ ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena sy ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra izay monina ambonin’ ny tany rehetra hoe: Hitombo anie ny fiadananareo.
Afterwarde King Darius wrote, Vnto all people, nations and languages, that dwel in all the world: Peace be multiplied vnto you.
26 Manao lalàna aho mba hangovitan’ ny olona sy hatahorany eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitr’ i Daniela eran’ ny fanjakako rehetra; fa Izy no Andriamanitra velona sady maharitra mandrakizay; ny fanjakany haharitra hatramin’ ny farany.
I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdome, men tremble and feare before the God of Daniel: for he is the liuing God, and remayneth for euer: and his kingdome shall not perish, and his dominion shalbe euerlasting.
27 Izy no mamonjy sy manafaka ary manao famantarana sy fahagagana any an-danitra sy etỳ an-tany, ary Izy no namonjy an’ i Daniela ho afaka tamin’ ny herin’ ny liona.
Hee rescueth and deliuereth, and hee worketh signes and wonders in heauen and in earth, who hath deliuered Daniel from the power of the lyons.
28 Ary izany Daniela izany dia nambinina tamin’ ny nanjakan’ i Dariosa sy tamin’ ny nanjakan’ i Kyrosy Persiana.
So this Daniel prospered in the reigne of Darius and in the reigne of Cyrus of Persia.
