Daaniʼel 6
1 Daariyoos akka isaan guutummaa mootummaa isaa keessatti bulchitoota taʼaniif ilmaan moototaa 120 muuduu barbaade;
Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,
2 innis isaan irratti bulchitoota ol aantota sadii muude; isaan keessaas tokko Daaniʼel ture. Akka mooticha irra rakkinni hin geenyeefis ilmaan moototaa kunneen bulchitoota ol aantota sadan jalatti bulu.
and over them three administrators, including Daniel, to whom these satraps were accountable so that the king would not suffer loss.
3 Mootichi sababii Daaniʼel ilmaan moototaatii fi bulchitoota ol aantota kaan caalaa dandeettii addaa qabuuf isa jaallatee guutummaa mootummaa irratti isa muuduu barbaade.
Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps. So the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
4 Sababii kanaaf bulchitoonni ol aantonnii fi ilmaan moototaa waan hojii mootummaa ilaaluun Daaniʼelin himachuuf karaa barbaadan; garuu akkas gochuu hin dandeenye. Daaniʼel amanamaa, of eeggataa fi nama mudaa hin qabne waan taʼeef isaan isa irratti dogoggora tokko iyyuu argachuu hin dandeenye.
Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
5 Dhuma irrattis namoonni kunneen, “Yoo waan seera Waaqa isaatiin wal qabatu taʼe malee waan ittiin namicha Daaniʼel jedhamu kana himannu tokko iyyuu hin argannu” jedhan.
Finally these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel, unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”
6 Kanaafuu bulchitoonni ol aantonnii fi ilmaan moototaa tokkummaadhaan mooticha bira dhaqanii akkana jedhan; “Yaa Daariyoos mooticha, bara baraan jiraadhu!
So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said, “O King Darius, may you live forever!
7 Yaa mootii, akka namni hamma bultii soddomaatti si malee Waaqa yookaan nama kam iyyuu kadhatu kam iyyuu boolla leencaatti darbatamu, akka mootichi labsii baasee ajajni isaas cimu bulchitoonni mootummaa, muudamoonni, ilmaan moototaa, gorsitoonnii fi qondaaltonni hundi walii galaniiru.
All the royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers, and governors have agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce a decree that for thirty days anyone who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions.
8 Yaa mootii, labsii baasi, akka seera Meedee fi Faares kan hin geeddaramne sanaas mallatteessi.”
Therefore, O king, establish the decree and sign the document so that it cannot be changed—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
9 Kanaafuu Daariyoos mootichi labsii sana barreessee baase.
Therefore King Darius signed the written decree.
10 Daaniʼelis yommuu akka labsiin sun baʼe beeketti kutaa mana isaa kan foddaan isaa gara Yerusaalemitti garagalutti ol baʼe. Innis akkuma yeroo kaan godhu guyyaatti yeroo sadii jilbeenfatee Waaqa isaa kadhate, galatas galcheef.
Now when Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house, where the windows of his upper room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
11 Namoonni kunneen gareedhaan dhaqanii Daaniʼelii kadhatuu fi Waaqa isaa gargaarsa gaafatuu argatan.
Then these men went as a group and found Daniel petitioning and imploring his God.
12 Kanaafuu isaan gara mootichaa dhaqanii, “Yaa mootii, ati akka namni guyyoota soddomman kana keessa si malee Waaqa yookaan nama tokko iyyuu kadhatu kam iyyuu boolla leencaatti darbatamu labsii hin baafnee?” jedhanii waaʼee labsii inni baase sanaa isa gaafatan. Mootichis, “Seerri sun seera akkuma seera Meedeetii fi Faares kan hin geeddaramnee dha” jedhee deebise.
So they approached the king and asked about his royal decree: “Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days any man who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions?” The king replied, “According to the law of the Medes and Persians the order stands, and it cannot be repealed.”
13 Isaan mootichaan, “Yaa mootii, warra Yihuudaadhaa boojiʼaman keessaa Daaniʼel siifis seera ati baafteefis xiyyeeffannaa hin kennu. Inni ammas guyyaatti yeroo sadii Waaqa isaa kadhata” jedhan.
Then they told the king, “Daniel, one of the exiles from Judah, shows no regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed. He still makes his petition three times a day.”
14 Mootichi yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti akka malee gadde; Daaniʼelin baasuufis murteeffatee hamma biiftuun lixxutti waan dandaʼame hunda godhe.
As soon as the king heard this, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel, and he labored until sundown to rescue him.
15 Ergasii jarri gareedhaan mootichatti dhiʼaatanii, “Yaa mootii, akka seera Meedeetii fi Faares akka seerri mootiin tokko baase yookaan ajajni inni kenne geeddaramuu hin dandeenye beeki” jedhaniin.
Then the men approached the king together and said to him, “Remember, O king, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or ordinance established by the king can be changed.”
16 Kanaafuu mootichi ajaja kenne; isaanis Daaniʼelin fidanii boolla leencaatti darbatan. Mootichis Daaniʼeliin, “Waaqni kee kan ati yeroo hunda isa tajaajiltu si haa baraaru!” jedhe.
So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”
17 Dhagaanis fidamee afaan boolla leencaa sanatti qadaadame; mootichis akka wanni Daaniʼel irratti murtaaʼe sun hin geeddaramne chaappaa mallattoo qubeelaa isaatii fi kan qubeelaa qondaaltota isaa irratti chaappesse.
A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that nothing concerning Daniel could be changed.
18 Ergasiis mootichi gara masaraa mootummaa isaatti deebiʼee halkan guutuu utuu waa hin nyaatinii fi gammachuu hin argatin hirriba malee bule.
Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting. No entertainment was brought before him, and sleep fled from him.
19 Barii barraaqaanis mootichi kaʼee gara boolla leencaatti ariifate.
At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the den of lions.
20 Innis yommuu boolla sanatti dhiʼaatetti sagalee guddaadhaan, “Yaa Daaniʼel tajaajilaa Waaqa jiraataa, Waaqni ati yeroo hunda isa tajaajiltu sun leencota irraa si baraaruu dandaʼeeraa?” jedhee Daaniʼelin waame.
When he reached the den, he cried out in a voice of anguish, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
21 Daaniʼelis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Yaa mootii bara baraan jiraadhu!
Then Daniel replied, “O king, may you live forever!
22 Waaqni koo ergamaa isaa ergee afaan leencotaa cufe. Sababii ani fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼee argameef isaan homaa na hin goone. Yaa Mootii ani fuula kee durattis yakka tokko illee hin hojjenneetii.”
My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, for I was found innocent in His sight, and I have done no wrong against you, O king.”
23 Mootichis akka malee gammadee akka Daaniʼel boolla keessaa baafamu ajaje. Daaniʼelis waan Waaqa isaa amanatee tureef yommuu boollaa baʼetti madaan tokko iyyuu isa irratti hin argamne.
The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den, and when Daniel was lifted out of the den, no wounds whatsoever were found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 Warri sobaan Daaniʼelin himatanis ajaja mootichaatiin niitotaa fi ijoollee isaanii wajjin fidamanii boolla leencaatti darbataman. Utuu isaan boolla sana keessa lafa hin gaʼin leenconni isaan cicciratanii lafee isaanii hunda caccabsan.
At the command of the king, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den of lions—they and their children and wives. And before they had reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
25 Kana irratti Daariyoos Mootichi uummata, sabootaa fi namoota guutummaa biyyattii keessatti afaan garaa garaa dubbatan hundatti akkana jedhee barreesse: “Nagaan isiniif haa baayʼatu!
Then King Darius wrote to the people of every nation and language throughout the land: “May your prosperity abound.
26 “Ani akka namni kutaa mootummaa kootii hunda keessatti Waaqa Daaniʼel sodaatuu fi akka ulfina isaaf kennu labsii kana baaseera.
I hereby decree that in every part of my kingdom, men are to tremble in fear before the God of Daniel: For He is the living God, and He endures forever; His kingdom will never be destroyed, and His dominion will never end.
27 Inni ni baraara; ni oolchas;
He delivers and rescues; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, for He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”
28 Kanaafuu bara Daariyoosii fi bara mootummaa Qiiros namicha Faares sanaa keessa Daaniʼelitti jireenyi ni tole.
So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
