Daniel 6
1 Ó dára lójú Dariusi láti yan ọgọ́fà àwọn baálẹ̀ sórí ìjọba,
It pleased Darius to set ouer the kingdome an hundreth and twentie gouernours, which should be ouer the whole kingdome,
2 pẹ̀lú alákòóso mẹ́ta, Daniẹli sì jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú wọn, kí àwọn baálẹ̀ lè wá máa jẹ́ ààbọ̀ fún wọn, kí ọba má ba à ní ìpalára.
And ouer these, three rulers (of whome Daniel was one) that the gouernours might giue accompts vnto them, and the King should haue no domage.
3 Daniẹli ya ara rẹ̀ sọ́tọ̀ láàrín àwọn alákòóso àti àwọn baálẹ̀ nítorí ẹ̀mí tí ó tayọ wà lára rẹ̀ dé bi pé ọba sì ń gbèrò láti fi ṣe olórí i gbogbo ìjọba.
Now this Daniel was preferred aboue the rulers and gouernours, because the spirit was excellent in him, and the King thought to set him ouer the whole realme.
4 Nítorí èyí, gbogbo àwọn alákòóso àti àwọn baálẹ̀ ń gbèrò láti wá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kà sí Daniẹli lọ́rùn nínú ètò ìṣèjọba rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kankan kà sí i lọ́rùn, wọn kò rí ìwà ìbàjẹ́ kankan tí ó ṣe, nítorí ó jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ kò sì ní ìwà ìjáfara.
Wherefore the rulers and gouernours sought an occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdome: but they could finde none occasion nor fault: for he was so faithfull that there was no blame nor fault found in him.
5 Nígbẹ̀yìn ni àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí sọ wí pé, “Àwa kò ní rí ìdí kankan láti kà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí Daniẹli lọ́rùn, àfi èyí tí ó bá ní í ṣe pẹ̀lú òfin Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.”
Then sayd these men, We shall not finde an occasion against this Daniel, except we finde it against him concerning the Law of his God.
6 Nígbà náà ni àwọn alákòóso àti àwọn baálẹ̀ lọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ikọ̀ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba, wọ́n wí pé, “Ìwọ Dariusi ọba, kí o pẹ́!
Therefore the rulers and these gouernours went together to the King, and sayde thus vnto him, King Darius, liue for euer.
7 Àwọn alákòóso ọba, ìjòyè, baálẹ̀, olùdámọ̀ràn, àti àwọn olórí gbìmọ̀ pọ̀ wí pé kí ọba kéde òfin kan pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gba àdúrà sí Ọlọ́run tàbí ènìyàn kankan fún ọgbọ̀n ọjọ́, yàtọ̀ fún ìwọ ọba, a ó ju ẹni náà sí inú ihò kìnnìún.
All the rulers of thy kingdome, the officers and gouernours, the counsellers, and dukes haue consulted together to make a decree for the King and to establish a statute, that whosoeuer shall aske a petition of any god or man for thirtie dayes saue of thee, O King, he shalbe cast into the denne of lyons.
8 Nísinsin yìí, ìwọ ọba, gbé òfin yìí jáde, kí o sì kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé kí a má ba à yí i padà ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin àwọn Media àti Persia, èyí tí kò ní le è parẹ́.”
Nowe, O King, confirme the decree, and seale the writing, that it be not changed according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 Nígbà náà, ni Dariusi ọba fi ọwọ́ sí ìwé àṣẹ náà.
Wherefore King Darius sealed the writing and the decree.
10 Lóòótọ́, Daniẹli mọ̀ pé a ti fi ọwọ́ sí ìwé òfin náà, síbẹ̀ ó wọ ilé e rẹ̀ lọ, nínú yàrá òkè, ó ṣí fèrèsé èyí tí ó kọjú sí Jerusalẹmu sílẹ̀. Ó kúnlẹ̀ lórí orúnkún un rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹ́ta lójoojúmọ́, ó gbàdúrà, ó fi ọpẹ́ fún Ọlọ́run gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe rẹ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀.
Now when Daniel vnderstood that he had sealed the writing, hee went into his house, and his window being open in his chamber toward Ierusalem, he kneeled vpon his knees three times a day, and prayed and praysed his God, as he did aforetime.
11 Nígbà náà ni, àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ yìí kó ara wọn jọ, wọ́n sì rí Daniẹli tí ó ń gba àdúrà, ó sì ń bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àánú lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
Then these men assembled, and founde Daniel praying, and making supplication vnto his God.
12 Wọ́n lọ sí iwájú ọba, wọ́n sì rán ọba létí nípa òfin tí ó ṣe pé, “Ìwọ kò ha fi ọwọ́ sí òfin wí pé ní ìwọ̀n ọgbọ̀n ọjọ́ ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gba àdúrà sí Ọlọ́run tàbí ènìyàn, láì bá ṣe ìwọ ọba, a ó gbé e jù sínú ihò kìnnìún?” Ọba sì dáhùn pé, “Àṣẹ náà dúró síbẹ̀, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin àwọn ará Media àti Persia, èyí tí a kò le è parẹ́.”
So they came and, spake vnto the King concerning the Kings decree, Hast thou not sealed the decree, that euery man that shall make a request to any god or man within thirtie dayes, saue to thee, O King, shall be cast into the denne of lyons? The King answered, and sayd, The thing is true, according to the Lawe of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
13 Nígbà náà, ni wọ́n sọ fún ọba pé, “Daniẹli, ọ̀kan lára ìgbèkùn Juda, kò ka ìwọ ọba sí, tàbí àṣẹ ẹ̀ rẹ tí o fi ọwọ́ sí. Òun sì tún ń gba àdúrà ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹ́ta lójúmọ́.”
Then answered they, and sayd vnto the King, This Daniel which is of the children of the captiuitie of Iudah, regardeth not thee, O King, nor the decree, that thou hast sealed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14 Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ èyí, inú rẹ̀ bàjẹ́ gidigidi; ó pinnu láti kó Daniẹli yọ, títí oòrùn fi rọ̀, ó sa gbogbo ipá a rẹ̀ láti gba Daniẹli sílẹ̀.
When the King heard these wordes, hee was sore displeased with himselfe, and set his heart on Daniel, to deliuer him: and he laboured till the sunne went downe, to deliuer him.
15 Nígbà náà, ni àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ wọ̀nyí kó ara wọn jọ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ọba rántí pé, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin àwọn Media àti Persia kò sí àṣẹ tàbí ìkéde tí ọba ṣe tí a le è yí i padà.”
Then these men assembled vnto the King, and sayde vnto ye King, Vnderstand, O King, that the lawe of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree nor statute which the King confirmeth, may be altered.
16 Nígbà náà, ni ọba pàṣẹ, wọ́n sì mú Daniẹli, wọ́n sì sọ ọ́ sínú ihò kìnnìún. Ọba sì sọ fún Daniẹli pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run rẹ tí ìwọ ń sìn nígbà gbogbo kí ó gbà ọ́!”
Then the King commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the denne of lyons: now the King spake, and said vnto Daniel, Thy God, whome thou alway seruest, euen he will deliuer thee.
17 A sì gbé òkúta kan wá, wọ́n sì fi dí ẹnu ihò náà, ọba sì dì í pa pẹ̀lú òrùka èdìdì rẹ̀ àti pẹ̀lú òrùka àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀, nítorí kí a má ṣe yí ohunkóhun padà nítorí i Daniẹli.
And a stone was brought, and layed vpon the mouth of the denne, and the King sealed it with his owne signet, and with the signet of his princes, that the purpose might not be changed, concerning Daniel.
18 Nígbà náà ni ọba padà sí ààfin rẹ̀, ó sì lo gbogbo òru náà láì jẹun, kò sì gbọ́ orin kankan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì le è sùn ní òru ọjọ́ náà.
Then the King went vnto his palace, and remained fasting, neither were the instruments of musike brought before him, and his sleepe went from him.
19 Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù, ni ọba dìde ó sì sáré lọ sí ibi ihò kìnnìún náà.
Then the King arose early in the morning, and went in all haste vnto the denne of lyons.
20 Nígbà tí ó súnmọ́ ibi ihò náà ní ibi tí Daniẹli wà, ó pe Daniẹli pẹ̀lú ìtara pé, “Daniẹli, ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run alààyè, ṣé Ọlọ́run rẹ tí ìwọ ń sìn tọ̀sán tòru, lè gbà ọ́ lọ́wọ́ kìnnìún bí?”
And when he came to the denne, he cryed with a lamentable voyce vnto Daniel: and the King spake, and saide to Daniel, O Daniel, the seruant of ye liuing God, is not thy God (whom thou alway seruest) able to deliuer thee from the lyons?
21 Daniẹli sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ọba kí ẹ pẹ́!
Then saide Daniel vnto the King, O King, liue for euer.
22 Ọlọ́run mi rán angẹli i rẹ̀, ó sì dí àwọn kìnnìún lẹ́nu. Wọn kò le è pa mí lára, nítorí a rí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ní iwájú rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò hu ìwà ìbàjẹ́ kan níwájú rẹ ìwọ ọba.”
My God hath sent his Angel and hath shut the lyons mouthes, that they haue not hurt mee: for my iustice was founde out before him: and vnto thee, O King, I haue done no hurt.
23 Inú ọba dùn gidigidi, ó sì pàṣẹ kí a mú Daniẹli jáde wá láti inú ihò. Nígbà tí a mú Daniẹli jáde nínú ihò, kò sí ojú ọgbẹ́ kan ní ara rẹ̀, nítorí tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
Then was the King exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel out of the denne: so Daniel was brought out of the denne, and no maner of hurt was found vpon him, because he beleeued in his God.
24 Ọba pàṣẹ pé, kí a mú àwọn alátakò Daniẹli wá, kí a jù wọ́n sí inú ihò kìnnìún, pẹ̀lú ìyàwó àti àwọn ọmọ wọn. Kí wọn tó dé ìsàlẹ̀ ihò, kìnnìún lágbára lórí i wọn, wọ́n sì fọ́ gbogbo egungun wọn.
And by the commandement of the King these me which had accused Daniel, were brought, and were cast into the denne of lions, euen they, their children, and their wiues: and the lyons had the mastry of them, and brake all their bones a pieces, or euer they came at the groud of the denne.
25 Nígbà náà ni Dariusi ọba kọ̀wé sí gbogbo ènìyàn orílẹ̀-èdè, àti gbogbo jákèjádò ilẹ̀ náà: “Kí ìre yín máa pọ̀ sí i!
Afterwarde King Darius wrote, Vnto all people, nations and languages, that dwel in all the world: Peace be multiplied vnto you.
26 “Mo gbé àṣẹ kan jáde wí pé, ní gbogbo agbègbè ìjọba mi, gbogbo ènìyàn gbọdọ̀ bẹ̀rù, kí wọn kí ó sì bọ̀wọ̀ fún Ọlọ́run Daniẹli.
I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdome, men tremble and feare before the God of Daniel: for he is the liuing God, and remayneth for euer: and his kingdome shall not perish, and his dominion shalbe euerlasting.
27 Ó ń yọ ni, ó sì ń gbani là;
Hee rescueth and deliuereth, and hee worketh signes and wonders in heauen and in earth, who hath deliuered Daniel from the power of the lyons.
28 Daniẹli sì ṣe rere ní àkókò ìjọba Dariusi àti àkókò ìjọba Kirusi ti Persia.
So this Daniel prospered in the reigne of Darius and in the reigne of Cyrus of Persia.
