< دَانِيآل 6 >

حَسُنَ عِنْدَ دَارِيُّوسَ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَ عَلَى ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ مَرْزُبَانًا يَكُونُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ كُلِّهَا. ١ 1
Darius was pleased to put over the kingdom a hundred and twenty captains, who were to be all through the kingdom;
وَعَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ثَلَاثَةَ وُزَرَاءَ أَحَدُهُمْ دَانِيآلُ، لِتُؤَدِّيَ ٱلْمَرَازِبَةُ إِلَيْهِمِ ٱلْحِسَابَ فَلَا تُصِيبَ ٱلْمَلِكَ خَسَارَةٌ. ٢ 2
And over them were three chief rulers, of whom Daniel was one; and the captains were to be responsible to the chief rulers, so that the king might undergo no loss.
فَفَاقَ دَانِيآلُ هَذَا عَلَى ٱلْوُزَرَاءِ وَٱلْمَرَازِبَةِ، لِأَنَّ فِيهِ رُوحًا فَاضِلَةً. وَفَكَّرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي أَنْ يُوَلِّيَهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ كُلِّهَا. ٣ 3
Then this Daniel did his work better than the chief rulers and the captains, because there was a special spirit in him; and it was the king's purpose to put him over all the kingdom.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلْوُزَرَاءَ وَٱلْمَرَازِبَةَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ عِلَّةً يَجِدُونَهَا عَلَى دَانِيآلَ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَجِدُوا عِلَّةً وَلَا ذَنْبًا، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَمِينًا وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فِيهِ خَطَأٌ وَلَا ذَنْبٌ. ٤ 4
Then the chief rulers and the captains were looking for some cause for putting Daniel in the wrong in connection with the kingdom, but they were unable to put forward any wrongdoing or error against him; because he was true, and no error or wrong was to be seen in him.
فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ: «لَا نَجِدُ عَلَى دَانِيآلَ هَذَا عِلَّةً إِلَّا أَنْ نَجِدَهَا مِنْ جِهَةِ شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِهِ». ٥ 5
Then these men said, We will only get a reason for attacking Daniel in connection with the law of his God.
حِينَئِذٍ ٱجْتَمَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوُزَرَاءُ وَٱلْمَرَازِبَةُ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ هَكَذَا: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ دَارِيُوسُ، عِشْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ! ٦ 6
Then these chief rulers and the captains came to the king and said to him, O King Darius, have life for ever.
إِنَّ جَمِيعَ وُزَرَاءِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ وَٱلشِّحَنِ وَٱلْمَرَازِبَةِ وَٱلْمُشِيرِينَ وَٱلْوُلَاةِ قَدْ تَشَاوَرُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَضَعُوا أَمْرًا مَلَكِيًّا وَيُشَدِّدُوا نَهْيًا، بِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ طِلْبَةً حَتَّى ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا مِنْ إِلَهٍ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ إِلَّا مِنْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، يُطْرَحُ فِي جُبِّ ٱلْأُسُودِ. ٧ 7
All the chief rulers of the kingdom, the chiefs and the captains, the wise men and the rulers, have made a common decision to put in force a law having the king's authority, and to give a strong order, that whoever makes any request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole.
فَثَبِّتِ ٱلْآنَ ٱلنَّهْيَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَأَمْضِ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ لِكَيْ لَا تَتَغَيَّرَ كَشَرِيعَةِ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ ٱلَّتِي لَا تُنْسَخُ». ٨ 8
Now, O King, put the order in force, signing the writing so that it may not be changed, like the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end.
لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَمْضَى ٱلْمَلِكُ دَارِيُوسُ ٱلْكِتَابَةَ وَٱلنَّهْيَ. ٩ 9
For this reason King Darius put his name on the writing and the order.
فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ دَانِيآلُ بِإِمْضَاءِ ٱلْكِتَابَةِ ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَكُواهُ مَفْتُوحَةٌ فِي عُلِّيَّتِهِ نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَصَلَّى وَحَمَدَ قُدَّامَ إِلَهِهِ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ. ١٠ 10
And Daniel, on hearing that the writing had been signed, went into his house; (now he had windows in his room on the roof opening in the direction of Jerusalem; ) and three times a day he went down on his knees in prayer and praise before his God, as he had done before.
فَٱجْتَمَعَ حِينَئِذٍ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ فَوَجَدُوا دَانِيآلَ يَطْلُبُ وَيَتَضَرَّعُ قُدَّامَ إِلَهِهِ. ١١ 11
Then these men were watching and saw Daniel making prayers and requesting grace before his God.
فَتَقَدَّمُوا وَتَكَلَّمُوا قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي نَهْيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ: «أَلَمْ تُمْضِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ نَهْيًا بِأَنَّ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ يَطْلُبُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ حَتَّى ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا إِلَّا مِنْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ يُطْرَحُ فِي جُبِّ ٱلْأُسُودِ؟» فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ: «ٱلْأَمْرُ صَحِيحٌ كَشَرِيعَةِ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ ٱلَّتِي لَا تُنْسَخُ». ١٢ 12
Then they came near before the king and said, O King, have you not put your name to an order that any man who makes a request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole? The king made answer and said, The thing is fixed by the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end.
حِينَئِذٍ أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ: «إِنَّ دَانِيآلَ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ بَنِي سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱعْتِبَارًا وَلَا لِلنَّهْيِ ٱلَّذِي أَمْضَيْتَهُ، بَلْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ يَطْلُبُ طِلْبَتَهُ». ١٣ 13
Then they made answer and said before the king, Daniel, one of the prisoners of Judah, has no respect for you, O King, or for the order signed by you, but three times a day he makes his prayer to God.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱغْتَاظَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ جِدًّا، وَجَعَلَ قَلْبَهُ عَلَى دَانِيآلَ لِيُنَجِّيَهُ، وَٱجْتَهَدَ إِلَى غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ لِيُنْقِذَهُ. ١٤ 14
When this thing came to the king's ears, it was very evil to him, and his heart was fixed on keeping Daniel safe, and till the going down of the sun he was doing everything in his power to get him free.
فَٱجْتَمَعَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلرِّجَالُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ وَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «ٱعْلَمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ أَنَّ شَرِيعَةَ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ هِيَ أَنَّ كُلَّ نَهْيٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ يَضَعُهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ لَا يَتَغَيَّرُ». ١٥ 15
Then these men said to the king, Be certain, O King, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no order or law which the king has put into force may be changed.
حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَأَحْضَرُوا دَانِيآلَ وَطَرَحُوهُ فِي جُبِّ ٱلْأُسُودِ. أَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِدَانِيآلَ: «إِنَّ إِلَهَكَ ٱلَّذِي تَعْبُدُهُ دَائِمًا هُوَ يُنَجِّيكَ». ١٦ 16
Then the king gave the order, and they took Daniel and put him into the lions' hole. The king made answer and said to Daniel, Your God, whose servant you are at all times, will keep you safe.
وَأُتِيَ بِحَجَرٍ وَوُضِعَ عَلَى فَمِ ٱلْجُبِّ وَخَتَمَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِخَاتِمِهِ وَخَاتِمِ عُظَمَائِهِ، لِئَلَّا يَتَغَيَّرَ ٱلْقَصْدُ فِي دَانِيآلَ. ١٧ 17
Then they got a stone and put it over the mouth of the hole, and it was stamped with the king's stamp and with the stamp of the lords, so that the decision about Daniel might not be changed.
حِينَئِذٍ مَضَى ٱلْمَلِكُ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ وَبَاتَ صَائِمًا، وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ قُدَّامَهُ بِسَرَارِيهِ وَطَارَ عَنْهُ نَوْمُهُ. ١٨ 18
Then the king went to his great house, and took no food that night, and no ... were placed before him, and his sleep went from him.
ثُمَّ قَامَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَاكِرًا عِنْدَ ٱلْفَجْرِ وَذَهَبَ مُسْرِعًا إِلَى جُبِّ ٱلْأُسُودِ. ١٩ 19
Then very early in the morning the king got up and went quickly to the lions' hole.
فَلَمَّا ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى ٱلْجُبِّ نَادَى دَانِيآلَ بِصَوْتٍ أَسِيفٍ. أَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ لِدَانِيآلَ: «يَا دَانِيآلُ عَبْدَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، هَلْ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي تَعْبُدُهُ دَائِمًا قَدِرَ عَلَى أَنْ يُنَجِّيَكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُسُودِ؟» ٢٠ 20
And when he came near the hole where Daniel was, he gave a loud cry of grief; the king made answer and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whose servant you are at all times, able to keep you safe from the lions?
فَتَكَلَّمَ دَانِيآلُ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ: «يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، عِشْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ! ٢١ 21
Then Daniel said to the king, O King, have life for ever.
إِلَهِي أَرْسَلَ مَلَاكَهُ وَسَدَّ أَفْوَاهَ ٱلْأُسُودِ فَلَمْ تَضُرَّنِي، لِأَنِّي وُجِدْتُ بَرِيئًا قُدَّامَهُ، وَقُدَّامَكَ أَيْضًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، لَمْ أَفْعَلْ ذَنْبًا». ٢٢ 22
My God has sent his angel to keep the lions' mouths shut, and they have done me no damage: because I was seen to be without sin before him; and further, before you, O King, I have done no wrong.
حِينَئِذٍ فَرِحَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِهِ، وَأَمَرَ بِأَنْ يُصْعَدَ دَانِيآلُ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ. فَأُصْعِدَ دَانِيآلُ مِنَ ٱلْجُبِّ وَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فِيهِ ضَرَرٌ، لِأَنَّهُ آمَنَ بِإِلَهِهِ. ٢٣ 23
Then the king was very glad, and gave orders for them to take Daniel up out of the hole. So Daniel was taken up out of the hole and he was seen to be untouched, because he had faith in his God.
فَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَأَحْضَرُوا أُولَئِكَ ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَكَوْا عَلَى دَانِيآلَ وَطَرَحُوهُمْ فِي جُبِّ ٱلْأُسُودِ هُمْ وَأَوْلَادَهُمْ وَنِسَاءَهُمْ. وَلَمْ يَصِلُوا إِلَى أَسْفَلِ ٱلْجُبِّ حَتَّى بَطَشَتْ بِهِمِ ٱلْأُسُودُ وَسَحَقَتْ كُلَّ عِظَامِهِمْ. ٢٤ 24
And at the king's order, they took those men who had said evil against Daniel, and put them in the lions' hole, with their wives and their children; and they had not got to the floor of the hole before the lions overcame them and all their bones were broken.
ثُمَّ كَتَبَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ إِلَى كُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَٱلْأُمَمِ وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا: «لِيَكْثُرْ سَلَامُكُمْ. ٢٥ 25
Then King Darius sent a letter to all the peoples, nations, and languages, living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.
مِنْ قِبَلِي صَدَرَ أَمْرٌ بِأَنَّهُ فِي كُلِّ سُلْطَانِ مَمْلَكَتِي يَرْتَعِدُونَ وَيَخَافُونَ قُدَّامَ إِلَهِ دَانِيآلَ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَمَلَكُوتُهُ لَنْ يَزُولَ وَسُلْطَانُهُ إِلَى ٱلْمُنْتَهَى. ٢٦ 26
It is my order that in all the kingdom of which I am ruler, men are to be shaking with fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, unchanging for ever, and his kingdom is one which will never come to destruction, his rule will go on to the end.
هُوَ يُنَجِّي وَيُنْقِذُ وَيَعْمَلُ ٱلْآيَاتِ وَٱلْعَجَائِبَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَفِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. هُوَ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّى دَانِيآلَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأُسُودِ». ٢٧ 27
He gives salvation and makes men free from danger, and does signs and wonders in heaven and earth, who has kept Daniel safe from the power of the lions.
فَنَجَحَ دَانِيآلُ هَذَا فِي مُلْكِ دَارِيُّوسَ وَفِي مُلْكِ كُورَشَ ٱلْفَارِسِيِّ. ٢٨ 28
So this Daniel did well in the kingdom of Darius and in the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian.
