Книга пророка Даниила 6
1 И бысть угодно пред царем, и постави во царстве князей сто и двадесять, еже быти им во всем царстве его,
And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;
2 над ними же три чиновники, от нихже бе Даниил един, дабы отдавали им князи слово, яко да царю не стужают.
and over them three governors, of whom one was, Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the king should not be troubled.
3 И бе Даниил над ними, яко дух бяше преизюбилен в нем, и царь постави его над всем царством своим.
And Daniel was over them, for [there was] an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom.
4 Чиновницы же и князи искаху вины обрести на Даниила: и всякия вины и соблазна и греха не обретоша на него, яко верен бяше.
Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful.
5 И реща чиновницы не обрящем на Даниила вины, аще не в законех Бога его.
And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.
6 Тогда чиновницы и князи предсташа царю и реша ему: Дарие царю, во веки живи:
Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 совещаша вси иже во царстве твоем воеводы и князи, ипати и обладающии странами, еже уставити устав царский и укрепити предел, яко аще кто попросит прошения от всякаго бога и человека до дний тридесяти, разве точию от тебе, царю, да ввержен будет в ров левский:
All who preside over your kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 ныне убо, царю, устави предел и положи писание, яко да не изменится заповедь Мидска и Персска, (да никтоже преступит ея).
Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed.
9 Тогда царь Дарий повеле вписати заповедь.
Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written.
10 Даниил же егда уведе, яко заповедь вчинися, вниде в дом свой: дверцы же отверсты ему в горнице его противу Иерусалима, в три же времена дне бяше прекланяя колена своя, моляся и исповедаяся пред Богом своим, якоже бе творя прежде.
And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers towards Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before.
11 Тогда мужие онии наблюдоша и обретоша Даниила просяща и молящася Богу своему,
Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God.
12 и пришедше реша пред царем: царю, не вчинил ли еси ты предела, яко да всяк человек, иже аще попросит у всякаго бога и человека прошения до тридесяти дний, но точию у тебе, царю, да ввержется в ров левск? И рече царь: истинно слово, и заповедь Мидска и Персска не мимоидет.
And they came and said to the king, O king, has you not made a decree, that whatever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass.
13 Тогда отвещаша пред царем и глаголаша: Даниил, иже от сынов плена Иудейска, не покорися заповеди твоей (и не раде) о пределе, егоже вчинил еси: в три бо времена дне просит у Бога своего прошений своих.
Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to your decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.
14 Тогда царь, яко слышав слово сие, зело опечалися о нем, и о Данииле пряшеся еже избавити его, и бе даже до вечера пряся еже избавити его.
Then the king, when he heard the saying, was much grieved for Daniel and he greatly exerted himself for Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver him.
15 Тогда мужие онии глаголаша царю: веждь, царю яко Мидом и Персом не леть есть пременити всякаго предела и устава, егоже царь уставит.
Then those men said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that we must not change any decree of statue which the king shall make.
16 Тогда царь рече, и приведоша Даниила и ввергоша его в ров левск. И рече царь Даниилу: Бог твой, Емуже ты служиши присно, Той избавит тя.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.
17 И принесоша камень един и возложиша на устие рва, и запечата царь перстнем своим и перстнем вельмож своих, да не изменится деяние о Данииле.
And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed [it] with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel.
18 И отиде царь в дом свой и ляже без вечери, и яди не внесоша к нему: и сон отступи от него. И заключи Бог уста львом, и не стужиша Даниилу.
And the king departed to his house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they not molest Daniel.
19 Тогда царь воста заутра на свете и со тщанием прииде ко рву левску.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in have to the den of lions.
20 И егда приближися ко рву, возопи гласом крепким: Данииле, рабе Бога живаго! Бог твой, Емуже ты служиши присно, возможе ли избавити тя из уст львовых?
And when he drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lion's mouth?
21 И рече Даниил цареви: царю, во веки живи:
And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.
22 Бог мой посла Ангела Своего и затвори уста львов, и не вредиша мене, яко обретеся пред Ним правда моя, и пред тобою, царю, согрешения не сотворих.
My God has sent his angel, and stopped the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before you, O king, I have committed no trespass.
23 Тогда царь вельми возвеселися о нем и рече Даниила извести из рва. И изведен бысть Даниил из рва, и всякаго тления не обретеся на нем яко верова в Бога своего.
Then the king was very glad for him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he believed in his God.
24 И рече царь, и приведоша мужы оклеветавшыя Даниила и в ров левск ввергоша я и сыны их и жены их: и не доидоша дна рва, даже соодолеша им львы и вся кости их истончиша.
And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones.
25 Тогда Дарий царь написа всем людем, племеном, языком, живущым во всей земли: мир вам да умножится:
Then king Darius wrote to all nations, tribes, [and] languages, who dwell in all the earth, [saying], Peace be multiplied to you.
26 от лица моего заповедася заповедь сия во всей земли царства моего, да будут трепещуще и боящеся от лица Бога Даниилова, яко Той есть Бог живый и пребываяй во веки, и царство Его не разсыплется, и власть Его до конца:
This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that [men] tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living and eternal God, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion is for ever.
27 подемлет и избавляет, и творит знамения и чудеса на небеси и на земли, иже избави Даниила от уст львовых.
He helps and delivers, and works signs and wonders in the heaven and on the earth, who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 Даниил же управляше во царстве Дариеве и во царстве Кира Персянина.
And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
