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 an hundred and twenty princes, who 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 these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts to them, and the king should suffer no loss.
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 preferred above the presidents and princes, 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 princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault 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, except 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 princes assembled to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever.
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 princes, the counsellors, and the captains, 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, except 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 may not be 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.
Therefore 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; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
11 Aa le nifanontone indaty rey naho naharendreke te niloloke vaho nihalaly aman’ Añahare’e t’i Daniele.
Then these men assembled, 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 spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any god or man within thirty days, except 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 they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that 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 displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the setting 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 to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor 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, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will 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 the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
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: neither were instruments of music brought before 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 lamentable voice to Daniel: and the king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, 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 for ever.
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, 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 hurt.
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 exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was taken out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed 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 they 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 in pieces 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 dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even 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.
He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and on 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.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
