Danilo 6
1 Svidje se Dariju te postavi nad carstvom sto i pedeset upravitelja da budu nad svijem carstvom;
IT pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
2 A nad njima tri starješine, od kojih jedan bješe Danilo, kojima æe upravitelji davati raèune da ne bi caru bilo štete.
And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
3 A taj Danilo nadvišivaše starješine i upravitelje, jer u njemu bješe velik duh i car mišljaše da ga postavi nad svijem carstvom svojim.
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 Tada starješine i upravitelji gledahu kako bi našli što da zabave Danilu radi carstva; ali ne mogahu naæi zabave ni pogrješke, jer bješe vjeran, i ne nalažaše se u njega pogrješke ni mane.
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Tada rekoše oni ljudi: neæemo naæi na toga Danila ništa, ako ne naðemo što na nj radi zakona Boga njegova.
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 Tada doðoše starješine i upravitelji k caru, i rekoše mu ovako: Darije care, da si živ dovijeka.
Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 Sve starješine u carstvu, poglavari i upravitelji, vijeænici i vojvode dogovoriše se da se postavi carska naredba i oštra zabrana da ko bi se god zamolio za što kome god bogu ili èovjeku za trideset dana osim tebi, care, da se baci u jamu lavovsku.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellers, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever 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 Zato, care, postavi tu zabranu i napiši da se ne može promijeniti, po zakonu Midskom i Persijskom, koji je nepromjenit.
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 I car Darije napisa knjigu i zabranu.
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 A Danilo kad dozna da je knjiga napisana, otide svojoj kuæi, gdje bijahu otvoreni prozori u njegovoj sobi prema Jerusalimu, i padaše na koljena svoja tri puta na dan i moljaše se i hvalu davaše Bogu svojemu kao što èinjaše prije.
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 aforetime.
11 Tada se sabraše oni ljudi, i naðoše Danila gdje se moli i pripada Bogu svojemu.
Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 I otidoše te rekoše caru za carsku zabranu: nijesi li napisao zapovijest, da ko bi se god zamolio kome god bogu ili èovjeku za trideset dana, osim tebi, care, da se baci u jamu lavovsku? Car odgovori i reèe: tako je po zakonu Midskom i Persijskom, koji je nepromjenit.
Then they came near, and spake 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, 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 Tada odgovoriše i rekoše caru: Danilo, koji je izmeðu roblja Judina, ne haje za te, care, ni za zabranu koju si napisao, nego se moli tri puta na dan svojom molitvom.
Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which 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 Tada car èuvši to ožalosti se vrlo, i naumi da izbavi Danila, i truðaše se do zahoda sunèanoga da ga izbavi.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
15 Tada oni ljudi sabraše se kod cara i rekoše caru: znaj, care, da je zakon u Midijana i Persijana da se nikakva zabrana i naredba, koju postavi car, ne mijenja.
Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto 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 Tada car reèe te dovedoše Danila i baciše ga u jamu lavovsku; i car progovori i reèe Danilu: Bog tvoj, kojemu bez prestanka služiš, neka te izbavi.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17 I donesoše kamen i metnuše jami na vrata, i car ga zapeèati svojim prstenom i prstenom svojih knezova da se ništa ne promijeni za Danila.
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 Tada otide car u svoj dvor, i prenoæi ne jedavši niti dopustivši da mu se donese što èim bi se razveselio, i ne može zaspati.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
19 Potom car usta ujutru rano i otide brže k jami lavovskoj.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
20 I kad doðe k jami, viknu Danila žalosnijem glasom; i progovori car i reèe Danilu: Danilo, slugo Boga živoga, Bog tvoj, kojemu služiš bez prestanka, može li te izbaviti od lavova?
And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake 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 Tada Danilo reèe caru: care, da si živ dovijeka!
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
22 Bog moj posla anðela svojega i zatvori usta lavovima, te mi ne naudiše; jer se naðoh èist pred njim, a ni tebi, care, ne uèinih zla.
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 Tada se car veoma obradova tomu, i zapovjedi da izvade Danila iz jame. I izvadiše Danila iz jame, i ne naðe se rane na njemu, jer vjerova Bogu svojemu.
Then was the king exceeding glad for him, 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 believed in his God.
24 Potom zapovjedi car, te dovedoše ljude koji bijahu optužili Danila, i baciše u jamu lavovsku njih, djecu njihovu i žene njihove; i još ne doðoše na dno jami, a lavovi ih zgrabiše i sve im kosti potrše.
And the king commanded, and they brought those men which 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 brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
25 Tada car Darije pisa svijem narodima i plemenima i jezicima što življahu u svoj zemlji: mir da vam se umnoži.
Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 Od mene je zapovijest da se u svoj državi carstva mojega svak boji i straši Boga Danilova, jer je on Bog živi, koji ostaje dovijeka, i carstvo se njegovo neæe rasuti, i vlast æe njegova biti do kraja;
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 stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27 On izbavlja i spasava, i èini znake i èudesa na nebu i na zemlji, on je izbavio Danila od sile lavovske.
He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 I taj Danilo bijaše sreæan za carovanja Darijeva i za carovanja Kira Persijanca.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
