دانيال 6
| وَارْتَأَى دَارِيُّوسُ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمَمْلَكَةِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ حَاكِماً يُشْرِفُونَ عَلَى أَقَالِيمِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ كُلِّهَا، | ١ 1 |
It hath been good before Darius, and he hath established over the kingdom satraps — a hundred and twenty — that they may be throughout the whole kingdom,
| وَنَصَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَلاَثَةَ وُزَرَاءَ أَحَدَهُمْ دَانِيآلُ، يُقَدِّمُونَ لَهُمْ حِسَاباً بِمَدْخُولِ خَزِينَةِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ، فَلاَ يَتَعَرَّضُ الْمَلِكُ لِخَسَارَةٍ. | ٢ 2 |
and higher than they three presidents, of whom Daniel [is] first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss.
| فَأَبْدَى دَانِيآلُ تَفَوُّقاً مَلْحُوظاً عَلَى سَائِرِ الْوُزَرَاءِ وَالْحُكَّامِ، بِمَا يَتَمَيَّزُ بِهِ مِنْ رُوحٍ مَاهِرةٍ. وَنَوَى الْمَلِكُ أَنْ يُوَلِّيَهُ شُؤُونَ الْمَمْلَكَةِ كُلِّهَا. | ٣ 3 |
Then this Daniel hath been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit [is] in him, and the king hath thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.
| فَشَرَعَ الْوُزَرَاءُ وَالْحُكَّامُ يَلْتَمِسُونَ عَلَيْهِ عِلَّةً اقْتَرَفَهَا بِحَقِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ فَأَخْفَقُوا، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَمِيناً لَمْ يَرْتَكِبْ خَطَأً وَلاَ ذَنْباً. | ٤ 4 |
Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he [is] faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him.
| فَقَالَ هَؤُلاَءِ الرِّجَالُ: «لاَ نَجِدُ ذَنْباً نَتَّهِمُ بِهِ دَانِيآلَ إِلاَّ إِذَا وَجَدْنَا عِلَّةً مِنْ نَحْوِ شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِهِ». | ٥ 5 |
Then these men are saying, 'We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found [it] against him in the law of his God.'
| عِنْدَئِذٍ اجْتَمَعَ هَؤُلاَءِ الْوُزَرَاءُ وَالْحُكَّامُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ قَائِلِينَ: «لِتَعِشْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٦ 6 |
Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: 'O king Darius, to the ages live!
| إِنَّ جَمِيعَ وُزَرَاءِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ وَقَادَةِ الْحَرَسِ وَالْحُكَّامِ وَالْمُشِيرِينَ وَالْوُلاَةِ قَدْ تَدَاوَلُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ عَلَى إِصْدَارِ أَمْرٍ مَلَكِيٍّ صَارِمٍ يُعْلَنُ فِيهِ: أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ طِلْبَةً إِلَى إِلَهٍ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ سِوَاكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ، لِمُدَّةِ ثَلاَثِينَ يَوْماً، يُطْرَحُ فِي جُبِّ الأُسُودِ. | ٧ 7 |
Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors, to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict, that any who seeketh a petition from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions.
| فَوَقِّعِ الآنَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ وَاخْتِمْهُ لِكَيْ لاَ يَطْرَأَ عَلَيْهِ تَغْيِيرٌ، فَيَكُونَ كَشَرِيعَةِ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ الَّتِي لاَ تُنْسَخُ». | ٨ 8 |
Now, O king, thou dost establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.'
| وَهَكَذَا وَقَّعَ الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ الْوَثِيقَةَ وَالأَمْرَ. | ٩ 9 |
Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict.
| فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ دَانِيآلَ أَمْرُ تَوْقِيعِ الْوَثِيقَةِ مَضَى إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى عُلِّيَّتِهِ ذَاتِ الْكُوَى الْمَفْتُوحَةِ بِاتِّجَاهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَصَلَّى، وَحَمَدَ إِلَهَهُ كَمَأْلُوفِ عَادَتِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Daniel, when he hath known that the writing is signed, hath gone up to his house, and the window being opened for him, in his upper chamber, over-against Jerusalem, three times in a day he is kneeling on his knees, and praying, and confessing before his God, because that he was doing [it] before this.
| فَتَجَمَّعَ الْمُتَآمِرُونَ، وَوَجَدُوا دَانِيآلَ يَبْتَهِلُ وَيَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَى إِلَهِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and entreating grace before his God;
| فَمَثَلُوا فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ وَتَبَاحَثُوا فِي أَمْرِهِ الَّذِي صَدَرَ، وَقَالُوا: «أَلَمْ تُوَقِّعْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَمْراً يَحْظُرُ عَلَى كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ رَفْعَ طَلَبٍ إِلَى إِلَهٍ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ سِوَاكَ مُدَّةَ ثَلاَثِينَ يَوْماً، وَمَنْ يُخَالِفُ ذَلِكَ يُطْرَحُ فِي جُبِّ الأُسُودِ؟» فَأَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ: «الأَمْرُ صَحِيحٌ كَشَرِيعَةِ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ الَّتِي لاَ تُنْسَخُ». | ١٢ 12 |
then they have come near, yea, they are saying before the king concerning the king's interdict: 'Hast thou not signed an interdict, that any man who seeketh from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions?' Answered hath the king, and said, 'The thing [is] certain as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.'
| حِينَئِذٍ قَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «إِنَّ دَانِيآلَ أَحَدَ مَسْبِييِّ يَهُوذَا قَدِ اسْتَهَانَ بِكَ، وَلَمْ يَأْخُذِ الأَمْرَ الَّذِي وَقَّعْتَهُ بِعَيْنِ الاعْتِبَارِ، بَلْ هَا هُوَ يَرْفَعُ طِلْبَاتِهِ لإِلَهِهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then they have answered, yea, they are saying before the king, that, 'Daniel, who [is] of the sons of the Removed of Judah, hath not placed on thee, O king, [any] regard, nor on the interdict that thou hast signed, and three times in a day he is seeking his petition.'
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْمَلِكُ هَذَا الْكَلاَمَ تَوَلاَّهُ غَمٌّ شَدِيدٌ وَوَطَّنَ النَّفْسَ عَلَى إِنْقَاذِ دَانِيآلَ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تُجْدِهِ جُهُودُهُ الَّتِي بَذَلَهَا حَتَّى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فِي تَخْلِيصِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then the king, when he hath heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he hath set the heart to deliver him, and till the going up of the sun he was arranging to deliver him.
| ثُمَّ تَجَمَّعَ الْمُتَآمِرُونَ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ لِلْمَرَّةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «اعْلَمْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَنَّ شَرِيعَةَ مَادِي وَفَارِسَ تَنُصُّ عَلَى أَنَّ كُلَّ نَهْيٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ يُوَقِّعُهُ الْمَلِكُ لاَ يَتَغَيَّرُ». | ١٥ 15 |
Then these men have assembled near the king, and are saying to the king, 'know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia [is]: That any interdict and statute that the king doth establish is not to be changed.'
| عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ فَأَحْضَرُوا دَانِيآلَ وَطَرَحُوهُ فِي جُبِّ الأُسُودِ. وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِدَانِيآلَ: «إِنَّ إِلَهَكَ الَّذِي تَعْبُدُهُ دَائِماً هُوَ يُنْقِذُكَ». | ١٦ 16 |
Then the king hath said, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast [him] into a den of lions. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, 'Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, Himself doth deliver thee.'
| وَأُتِيَ بِحَجَرٍ سَدُّوا بِهِ فَمَ الْجُبِّ، وَخَتَمَهُ الْمَلِكُ بِخَاتِمِهِ وَأَخْتَامِ نُبَلاَءِ دَوْلَتِهِ، لِئَلاَّ يَطْرَأَ تَغْيِيرٌ عَلَى مَصِيرِ دَانِيآلَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And a stone hath been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king hath sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose be not changed concerning Daniel.
| وَانْطَلَقَ الْمَلِكُ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ وَبَاتَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ صَائِماً سَاهِراً، وَامْتَنَعَ عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ مَحْظِيَّاتِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Then hath the king gone to his palace, and he hath passed the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before him, and his sleep hath fled [from] off him.
| وَعِنْدَ الْفَجْرِ بَاكِراً نَهَضَ الْمَلِكُ وَمَضَى مُسْرِعاً إِلَى جُبِّ الأُسُودِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;
| فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ نَادَى دَانِيآلَ بِصَوْتٍ حَزِينٍ قَائِلاً: «يَادَانِيآلُ، عَبْدَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ، هَلْ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي تَعْبُدُهُ دَائِماً اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يُنَجِّيَكَ مِنَ الأُسُودِ؟» | ٢٠ 20 |
and at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a grieved voice, he crieth. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, thy God, whom thou art serving continually, is He able to deliver thee from the lions?'
| فَأَجَابَ دَانِيآلُ: «لِتَعِشْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: 'O king, to the ages live:
| قَدْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَهِي مَلاَكَهُ فَسَدَّ أَفْوَاهَ الأُسُودِ فَلَمْ تُؤْذِنِي، لأَنِّي وُجِدْتُ بَرِيئاً أَمَامَهُ، وَلَمْ أَرْتَكِبْ سُوءاً أَمَامَكَ أَيْضاً أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ». | ٢٢ 22 |
my God hath sent His messenger, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity hath been found in me; and also before thee, O king, injury I have not done.'
| حِينَئِذٍ فَرِحَ الْمَلِكُ جِدّاً وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُخْرَجَ دَانِيآلُ مِنَ الْجُبِّ، فَأَصْعَدُوهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ نَالَهُ أَيُّ أَذىً، لأَنَّهُ آمَنَ بِإِلَهِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then was the king very glad for him, and he hath commanded Daniel to be taken up out of the den, and Daniel hath been taken up out of the den, and no injury hath been found in him, because he hath believed in his God.
| ثُمَّ أَصْدَرَ الْمَلِكُ أَمْرَهُ فَأَحْضَرُوا الْمُتَآمِرِينَ الَّذِينَ اتَّهَمُوا دَانِيآلَ وَطَرَحُوهُمْ فِي جُبِّ الأُسُودِ، مَعَ أَوْلاَدِهِمْ وَنِسَائِهِمْ. وَمَا كَادُوا يَصِلُونَ إِلَى أَسْفَلِ الْجُبِّ حَتَّى بَطَشَتْ بِهِمِ الأُسُودُ وَهَشَّمَتْ عِظَامَهُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And the king hath said, and they have brought those men who had accused Daniel, and to the den of lions they have cast them, they, their sons, and their wives; and they have not come to the lower part of the den till that the lions have power over them, and all their bones they have broken small.
| ثُمَّ بَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُّوسُ إِلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ وَالأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ لِسَانٍ مِنَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي مَمْلَكَتِهِ بِرَسَائِلَ قَائِلاً: «لِيَكْثُرْ سَلاَمُكُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then Darius the king hath written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: 'Your peace be great!
| قَدْ صَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ أَنْ يَرْتَعِدَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُقِيمُ فِي تُخُومِ مَمْلَكَتِي وَيَخَافَ أَمَامَ إِلَهِ دَانِيآلَ، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ الإِلَهُ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لاَ يَزُولُ لَهُ مَلَكُوتٌ وَسُلْطَانُهُ إِلَى الْمُنْتَهَى. | ٢٦ 26 |
From before me is made a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom they are trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for He [is] the living God, and abiding to the ages, and His kingdom that which [is] not destroyed, and His dominion [is] unto the end.
| هُوَ يُنَجيِّ وَيُنْقِذُ وَيُجْرِي الآيَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَّصَ دَانِيآلَ مِنْ أَنْيَابِ الأُسُودِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth [is] He who hath delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.'
| وَحَالَفَ النَّجَاحُ دَانِيآلَ فِي مُلْكِ دَارِيُّوسَ وَفِي عَهْدِ حُكْمِ كُورَشَ الْفَارِسِيِّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
