Daaniʼel 6
1 Daariyoos akka isaan guutummaa mootummaa isaa keessatti bulchitoota taʼaniif ilmaan moototaa 120 muuduu barbaade;
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, which should be over the whole 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 presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give accounts to them, and the king might have no damage.
3 Mootichi sababii Daaniʼel ilmaan moototaatii fi bulchitoota ol aantota kaan caalaa dandeettii addaa qabuuf isa jaallatee guutummaa mootummaa irratti isa muuduu barbaade.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Kanaafuu bulchitoonni ol aantonnii fi ilmaan moototaa tokkummaadhaan mooticha bira dhaqanii akkana jedhan; “Yaa Daariyoos mooticha, bara baraan jiraadhu!
Then these presidents and satraps rushed together to the king, and spake thus to him: King Darius, 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 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 Yaa mootii, labsii baasi, akka seera Meedee fi Faares kan hin geeddaramne sanaas mallatteessi.”
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 Kanaafuu Daariyoos mootichi labsii sana barreessee baase.
Wherefore King Darius signed the writing and the 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 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 Namoonni kunneen gareedhaan dhaqanii Daaniʼelii kadhatuu fi Waaqa isaa gargaarsa gaafatuu argatan.
Then these men rushed together, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before 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.
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 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 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 Mootichi yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti akka malee gadde; Daaniʼelin baasuufis murteeffatee hamma biiftuun lixxutti waan dandaʼame hunda godhe.
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 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 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 Kanaafuu mootichi ajaja kenne; isaanis Daaniʼelin fidanii boolla leencaatti darbatan. Mootichis Daaniʼeliin, “Waaqni kee kan ati yeroo hunda isa tajaajiltu si haa baraaru!” jedhe.
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 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.
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 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 passed the night fasting, and suffered not the concubines to be brought to him; and his sleep went from him.
19 Barii barraaqaanis mootichi kaʼee gara boolla leencaatti ariifate.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste 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.
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 Daaniʼelis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Yaa mootii bara baraan jiraadhu!
Then said Daniel to the king, O king, 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!
26 “Ani akka namni kutaa mootummaa kootii hunda keessatti Waaqa Daaniʼel sodaatuu fi akka ulfina isaaf kennu labsii kana baaseera.
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 Inni ni baraara; ni oolchas;
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 Kanaafuu bara Daariyoosii fi bara mootummaa Qiiros namicha Faares sanaa keessa Daaniʼelitti jireenyi ni tole.
This Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
