Daniela 6
1 Ni-no’ i Dariavese ty hañoriza’e mpifehe zato-tsy-roapolo amy fifeheañey hanitsifañe i fanjakàñey,
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, which should be over the whole kingdom,
2 le ambone’ iereo ty mpifeleke telo—raik’ am’ iereo t’i Daniele—vaho mitalily am’ iereo i mpifehe rey, soa tsy ho tsoborèñe i mpanjakay.
and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give accounts to them, and the king might have no damage.
3 T’i Daniele toy ty nisoheñe ambone’ ze hene mpifehe naho mpifeleke ty amy arofo tsitantane ama’ey; le sinafiri’ i mpanjakay te hanoe’e ambone’ i fifeheañey iaby.
Then this Daniel was eminent above the presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Aa le pinai’ o mpifelekeo naho o mpifeheo ty hampitsikapy i Daniele am-pitoloña’e amy fifeheañey, fe tsy nahatendreke ty hikiniàñe aze ndra ze lila’e ty amy figahiña’ey, vaho tsy naharendrehan-kila ndra tahiñe.
Then the presidents and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel in relation to the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; because he was faithful, and no error nor fault was found in him.
5 Aa le hoe i ondaty rey, le lia’e tsy hahaonin-dilatse amy Daniele tia tika, naho tsy t’ie ho onin-tika amy lilin’ Añahare’ey avao.
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
6 Aa le nihitrihitry mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo i mpifehe naho mpifeleke rey nanao ty hoe ama’e: Ry Dariavese mpanjaka, lava havelo.
Then these presidents and satraps rushed together to the king, and spake thus to him: King Darius, live forever!
7 Songa mitrao-safiry o mpamele-pifeheañeo, o mpizakao, o mpifeheo, o beio, vaho o sefoo te honjoneñe ty tseim-panjakàñe hañatò te ze hihalaly aman-drahare ia’ ia ndra ama’ ondaty, naho tsy ama’o avao ampara’ te modo ty andro telopolo, ry mpanjaka, le havokovoko an-dakaton-diona ao.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors and the satraps, the counsellors and the prefects, 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 Aa le iantofo i tsey zay henaneo, ry mpanjaka, vaho soniavo o sokitseo tsy hiova, ty amy lili’ i Maday naho i Parase tsy mete mihotikey.
Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians which altereth not.
9 Le nanonia i sokitsey, hampijadoña’e ho lily, t’i Dariavese.
Wherefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 Aa ie nifohi’ i Daniele te nisoniaveñe i sokitsey le nizilik’ añ’ anjomba’e ao; toe nisokake mb’e Ierosalaime i lalan-kede am-batsey, le nitongaleke re in-telo boak’andro, niloloke vaho nañandriañe añatrefan’ Añahare’e eo amy t’ie lili’e.
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he kneeled upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done before.
11 Aa le nifanontone indaty rey naho naharendreke te niloloke vaho nihalaly aman’ Añahare’e t’i Daniele.
Then these men rushed together, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 Niharinea’ iereo amy zao i mpanjakay le nitalily i tseim-panjakañey: Tsy vaho nañatò ty tsey hao ry mpanjaka, te ze hihalaly aman’ Añahare’ iaia ndra ama’ ondaty naho tsy ama’o avao añate’ ty andro telopolo ro havokovoko an-dakaton-diona ao? Hoe ty natoi’ i mpanjakay: To i hoe zay ty amy lili’ o nte-Maday naho nte-Parase tsy mihotikeo.
Then they came near and spake before the king concerning the royal decree: Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man who 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 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ iareo añatrefa’ i mpanjakay, Tsy mañaoñe azo t’i Daniele, anam-pandrohiza’ o nte-Iehodào, ndra i tsey najado’oy, te mone mihalaly in-telo ami’ty andro.
Then answered they and said before the king, Daniel, who is of the sons of the captives of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree which thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14 Ie nahajanjiñe i entañe zay i mpanjakay le loho navesatse ama’e naho napite’e amy Daniele ty arofo’e hañaha aze; vaho nifanehak’ ampara’ te tsofots’ andro hañafaha’e.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was much troubled, and set his heart to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
15 Fe niropak’ amy mpanjakay indaty rey, nanao ty hoe amy mpanjakay, Mahafohina, ry mpanjaka, inay ty lili’ Maday naho i Parase te tsy mete ovaeñe ze tsey ndra fañè najado’ i mpanjakay.
Then these men assembled before the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree or statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
16 Aa le nandily i mpanjakay, le nasese mb’eo t’i Daniele, vaho navokovoko an-dakaton-diona ao. Nanao ty hoe amy Daniele amy zao i mpanjakay: Handrombak’ azo abey t’i Andrianañahare toroñe’o nainai’e.
Then the king commanded that they should bring Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. And the king spake and said to Daniel, May thy God, whom thou servest continually, deliver thee!
17 Nendeseñe amy zao ty vato, le nikapefeñe ty vava’ i lakatoy; vaho vinoli-tombo’ i mpanjakay amy bange fitombo’ey naho ami’ty fitombo’ o roandria’eo soa tsy hovaeñe ty amy Daniele.
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 nothing concerning Daniel might be changed.
18 Noly añ’ anjomba’e ao i mpanjakay, nandre tsy nikama; le tsy nañendesan-draha, vaho nihànkañe ama’e ty rotse.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting, and suffered not the concubines to be brought to him; and his sleep went from him.
19 Aa le nañaleñaleñe i mpanjakay nitroatse te nangararak’ atiñana vaho nihitrihitry mb’an-dakato’ o lionao mb’eo.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 Ie nandoak’ amy lakatoy eo, le nikoik’ an-kalonjeram-piarañanañañe amy Daniele, le hoe ty napaza’ i mpanjakay amy Daniele, ry Daniele mpitoron’ Andrianañahare veloñe, naharombak’ azo amo lionao hao t’i Andrianañahare fitoroña’o nainai’e?
And when he came to the den, he cried with a troubled voice to Daniel; and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, has thy God, whom thou servest continually, been able to deliver thee from the lions?
21 Le hoe t’i Daniele amy mpanjakay, lava ohatse, ry mpanjaka;
Then said Daniel to the king, O king, live forever!
22 Nañirake ty anjeli’e t’i Andrianañahareko; nampitsiteke ty vava’ o lionao tsy hijoy ahy, amy t’ie nalio hakeo añatrefa’e, naho toe tsy nandilatse ama’o iraho ry mpanjaka.
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no wrong.
23 Nivaranehak’ amy zao i mpanjakay naho linili’e te avotañe amy lakatoy t’i Daniele. Aa le nakareñe an-dakato ao t’i Daniele, vaho tsy nizoem-pere amy t’ie niato aman’ Añahare’e.
Then was the king 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 manner of hurt was found upon him, because he trusted in his God.
24 Linili’ i mpanjakay te hampiatrefeñe aze o nanisý i Danieleo. Le fonga navokovoko amy lakaton-dionay naho o vali’eo rekets’ o ana’eo. Ie mbe tsy niponak’ an-tane’ i lakatoy iereo le fa niambotraha’ o lionao vaho pinekapekañ’ iaby o taola’eo.
And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and 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 before they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Nanokitse amo hene ondaty naho fifeheañe vaho fameleke mpimoneñe amy taneio t’i Dariavese Mpanjaka: Ampitomboeñe ama’ areo ty fañanintsiñe.
Then King Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!
26 Izaho ro mitsey aman’ ndra aia’aia amo fonga fifelehañe am-pifeheakoo: asoao te hinevenevetse am-pañeveñañe añatrefan’ Añahare’ i Daniele ondatio, Ie t’i Andrianañahare veloñe nainai’e le tsim-bia ho rebake i fifehea’ey naho i fifeleha’ey nainai’e donia.
I make a decree, that in every government of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God that endureth forever, and whose kingdom shall not be destroyed, and whose dominion shall endure to the end.
27 Mpandrombake re, Mpañaha, naho Mpanao viloñe tsitantane vaho mitoloñe raha mahalatsa andikerañe ao naho an-tane atoy. Ie ty nandrombake i Daniele ami’ty haozara’ o lionao.
It is he that delivereth and rescueth, and worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 Nitahieñe t’i Daniele am-pifeleha’ i Dariavesey naho am-pifehea’ i Korese nte-Parase.
This Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
