Daanyeel 6
1 Daariyus waxaa la wanaagsanaa inuu boqortooyadiisa u yeelo boqol iyo labaatan amiir, oo boqortooyada oo dhan wada gaadha;
King Darius decided to divide his kingdom into 120 provinces. He appointed a governor to rule each province.
2 oo wuxuu iyagii ka sara mariyey saddex taliye, oo Daanyeel ka mid ahaa; inay amiirradu iyaga la xisaabtamaan, oo aan boqorka khasaare ku dhicin.
He also appointed me and two other men to be administrators, to supervise the governors and to be sure that they did the king’s work [properly], in order that the king would not have to worry about anything.
3 Markaasaa Daanyeel laga soocay taliyayaashii iyo amiirradii, maxaa yeelay, waxaa isaga ku jiray ruux aad u wanaagsan; boqorkiina wuxuu ku fikiray inuu talada boqortooyada oo dhan u dhiibo.
I soon showed that I was (more capable/able to do the work better) than all the other administrators and the governors. Because of that, the king planned to appoint me to be in charge of the entire empire.
4 Markaasaa taliyayaashii iyo amiirradii waxay doondooneen sabab ay Daanyeel ku dacweeyaan oo xagga boqortooyada ku saabsan; laakiinse way waayeen sabab iyo xumaan toona; maxaa yeelay, isagu wuxuu ahaa aamin, oo qalad iyo xumaan toona lagama helin.
Then, the [other] administrators and the governors [became jealous. So they began to] try to find something that they could criticize about the way I was working for the king. But I always did my work faithfully and honestly, and was never lazy. So they could not find anything to criticize.
5 Markaasay nimankaasu waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Sabab ku heli mayno Daanyeelkan, haddaynan ku helin xagga sharciga ku saabsan Ilaahiisa.
They concluded, “The only way we can find something for which we can criticize Daniel will be something concerning the laws that his god [his given him].”
6 Markaasaa taliyayaashii iyo amiirradii la shireen boqorkii, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Boqor Daariyusow, weligaaba noolow.
So the administrators and governors went as one group to the king and said, “(Your Majesty/O king), we wish that you will live a long time!
7 Madaxweynayaashii boqortooyada oo dhan, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo amiirradii, iyo waaniyayaashii, iyo saraakiishii, waxay ku tashadeen inay dhisaan qaynuun boqornimo iyo amar leh, Ku alla kii intii soddon maalmood ah wax weyddiista ilaah kale ama nin, adiga mooyaane, Boqorow, waa in lagu rido bohosha libaaxyada.
[We] administrators and governors and district governors and advisors and other officials have all agreed that you should make a law that everyone must obey. We want you to command that for the next thirty days people may pray only to you. If anyone prays to anyone else, either to a human or to a god, he must be thrown into [a pit of] lions.
8 Haddaba, Boqorow, amarka dhis, oo qorniinka saxeex si uusan u beddelmin, sida sharciga reer Maaday iyo reer Faaris uusan u beddelmin oo kale.
And because laws made by [our governments of] Media and Persia cannot be changed, [we want] you, [the head of our government], to sign it.”
9 Sidaas daraaddeed Boqor Daariyus waa saxeexay qorniinkii iyo amarkii.
So King Darius [wrote] the law and signed it.
10 Daanyeelna markuu ogaaday in qorniinkii la saxeexay ayuu gurigiisii galay, haddaba daaqadihii qolkiisa oo xagga Yeruusaalem u jeeday way furnaayeen, oo saddex jeer buu maalintiiba jilbo joogsan jiray oo tukan jiray, oo Ilaahiis ku mahadnaqi jiray, siduu hore u yeeli jiray.
But when I found out that [the king] had [written and] signed that law, I went home. I knelt down in my upstairs room and prayed. I looked toward Jerusalem, and the windows were open [with the result that everyone could see me while I was praying]. I prayed three times each day, just as I always did, thanking God.
11 Markaasay nimankii isu soo shireen, oo waxay heleen Daanyeel oo wax weyddiisanaya oo baryaya Ilaahiis.
The officials went together [to my house] and they saw me praying and requesting God to help me.
12 Markaasay u soo dhowaadeen, oo waxay boqorka hortiisii kaga hadlen wax ku saabsan amarkii boqorka, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Miyaadan saxeexin amar leh, Ku alla kii, intii soddon maalmood ah, wax weyddiista ilaah kale ama nin, adiga mooyaane, waa in lagu rido bohosha libaaxyada? Boqorkiina waa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Taasu waa run, sida sharciga reer Maaday iyo reer Faaris ku qoran oo aan beddelmi karin.
So they returned to the king and said to him, “[Do you remember] that you wrote a law stating that for the next thirty days people may pray only to you, and if anyone prays to anyone else, either to a human or to a god, he will be thrown into [a pit of] lions?” The king replied, “[Yes, that is the law that I wrote]. It is a law of [our governments of] Media and Persia, which cannot be canceled.”
13 Markaasay jawaabeen oo waxay boqorkii hortiisa ka yidhaahdeen, Boqorow, Daanyeelkii ka mid ahaa kuwii Yahuudah laga soo dhacay, dan kama leh adiga iyo amarkii aad saxeexday toona, laakiinse saddex jeer buu maalin walba Ilaahiisa wax weyddiistaa.
Then they said to the king, “Well, that [man] Daniel, one of the men who were brought from Judah, is not paying any attention to you or the law that you [signed]. He prays [to his god] three times each day!”
14 Markaasaa boqorkii markuu hadalkaas maqlay ayuu aad uga xumaaday, oo isku dayay inuu Daanyeel samatabbixiyo; oo ilaa qorraxdu ka dhacday ayuu hawshoonayay inuu isaga badbaadiyo.
When the king heard that, he was very distressed. He tried to find a way to save me. All the rest of that day he tried to think of a way to rescue me.
15 Markaasay nimankii giddigood boqorkii ku soo shireen, oo waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal ogow, Boqorow, inay sharci reer Maaday iyo reer Faaris tahay inaan la beddelin qaynuun ama amar uu boqorku dhiso.
[In the evening, many of] [HYP] the officials went together to the king and said, “(Your Majesty/O king), you know that [our governments of] Media and Persia have declared that no law that the king signs can be canceled/changed. [So Daniel must be thrown to the lions!]”
16 Markaasaa boqorkii amray, oo Daanyeel waa la soo kexeeyey oo lagu dhex tuuray bohoshii libaaxyada. Boqorkiina waa la hadlay Daanyeel, oo ku yidhi, Ilaahaaga aad had iyo goorba u adeegto ayaa ku samatabbixin doona.
So the king gave the order, and his servants brought me and threw me into a pit where the lions [were]. [Before they threw me in], the king said to me, “I hope/wish that your God, whom you worship regularly, will rescue you!”
17 Markaasaa dhagax la keenay, oo bohoshii afkeedii la saaray; oo boqorkii baa ku shaabadeeyey shaabaddiisii, iyo shaabaddii saraakiishiisa, inaan waxba laga beddelin xaaladda Daanyeel.
They rolled a huge stone across the entrance to the pit. Then the king [fastened a string across the entrance and put wax at each end, and stamped the wax with] the seal from his [ring] and the seals [of the rings] of his officials, in order that no one could [secretly] rescue me.
18 Dabadeedna boqorkii baa gurigiisii tegey, oo habeenkaas wuu soomanaa: alaabtii muusikadana looma keenin, hurdadiina waa ka duushay.
Then the king returned to his palace. That night he refused to eat any food. He would not allow anyone to entertain him [because he did not want to be happy, with the result that he would forget about me. And that night] he was unable to sleep [because he was worried about me].
19 Boqorkii intuu aroor hore kacay ayuu degdeg u tegey bohoshii libaaxyada.
At dawn the next morning, the king got up and went quickly to the pit where the lions were.
20 Oo markuu u soo dhowaaday bohoshii Daanyeel ku jiray ayuu si weyn u ooyay; markaasa boqorkii hadlay oo Daanyeel ku yidhi, Daanyeelow, Ilaaha nool midiidinkiisow, Ilaahaaga aad had iyo goor u adeegtaa ma awoodi karaa inuu libaaxyada kaa samatabbixiyo?
When he came near it, he was very worried. He called out, “Daniel, you who serve the all-powerful God! Was your God, whom you worship regularly, able to save you from the lions?”
21 Markaasaa Daanyeel boqorkii ku yidhi, Boqorow, weligaaba noolow.
I answered, “(Your Majesty/O king), I hope that you will live a long time!
22 Ilaahay malaa'igtiisii buu soo diray, oo waxay xidhay libaaxyada afkoodii, oo waxba ima ay yeelin; waayo, wuxuu arkay inaanan xaq qabin; xaggaagana, Boqorow, waxba kuma aanan yeelin.
[Yes], my God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths, in order that they would not harm me! [He did that] because [he knows that] I have done nothing that he thinks is wrong. And, (Your Majesty/O king), I never did anything wrong to you!”
23 Dabadeedna boqorkii aad iyo aad buu u farxay, oo wuxuu ku amray in Daanyeel bohosha laga soo bixiyo. Sidaasaana Daanyeel bohoshii looga soo bixiyey, korkiisiina innaba waxyeello lagama helin, maxaa yeelay, Ilaahiis buu isku halleeyey.
The king was extremely happy, and he commanded [his servants] to lift me out of the pit. [When they did that, they] saw that the lions had not wounded me at all. [God had protected me] because I trusted in him.
24 Dabadeedna boqorkii baa amar bixiyey oo waxaa la keenay nimankii Daanyeel dacweeyey, oo bohoshii libaaxyada ayaa lagu dhex tuuray, iyagii iyo carruurtoodii iyo naagahoodiiba; markaasaa libaaxyadii qabsadeen intayan bohoshii salkeeda soo gaadhin, lafahoodii oo dhanna way burbursadeen.
Then the king commanded that the men who had accused me should be seized and be thrown, along with their wives and children, into the pit where the lions were. [When they were thrown into the pit], the lions leaped on them and crushed their bones before they fell onto the bottom of the pit!
25 Markaasaa boqorkii Daariyus warqado u qoray dadyowgii, iyo quruumihii, iyo kuwii kala afka ahaa oo dhan, oo dhulka oo dhan degganaa; oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Nabadu ha idinku badato.
Then King Darius wrote [this message and sent it throughout his kingdom] to the people of every people-group and nation and from all language groups: “I wish/hope that everything is going very well with you!
26 Waxaan amar ku bixinayaa in dadka dowladnimada boqortooyadayda oo dhan ay ku hor gariiraan oo ka cabsadaan Ilaaha Daanyeel; waayo, isagu waa Ilaaha nool, oo weligiis jiraya, boqortooyadiisuna waa mid aan la baabbi'in karayn, dowladnimadiisuna way jiri doontaa ilaa ugudambaysta.
I command that everyone in my kingdom should fear and revere the God that Daniel [worships]. He is the all-powerful God, and he will live forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed; he will rule forever.
27 Isagu wax waa samatabbixiyaa oo badbaadiyaa, samada iyo dhulkana wuxuu ku sameeyaa calaamado iyo yaabab, waana kii Daanyeel ka samatabbixiyey xooggii libaaxyada.
He rescues and saves [his people]. He performs all kinds of miracles in heaven and on the earth. He rescued Daniel from the power of the lions!”
28 Sidaasuu Daanyeelkanu ugu barwaaqoobay boqornimadii Daariyus, iyo boqornimadii Kuuroskii reer Faaris.
So I was successful [all] during the time that Darius ruled and during the time that Cyrus, [the King] of Persia, ruled.
