< Daniel 6 >

1 Darius siangpahrang ni a uknaeram thung thaw ka tawk hane 120 touh hoi hote bawinaw patuen ka hrawi hanelah bawi kathum touh hah a ngai e patetlah a rawi.
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,
2 Hote bawi kathum touh thung dawk Daniel teh bawi buet touh lah ao hloilah,
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.
3 bawinaw pueng hlak hai hoe kahawi e panuenae a tawn dawkvah, a ram buemlah ahni kut dawk koung poe sak han telah siangpahrang ni a pouk.
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.
4 Hat toteh, kahrawikungnaw hoi bawinaw ni Daniel dawk uknaeram hoi kâkuen e yonpen hane a tawng awh.
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.
5 Cathut thaw a tawk e hloilah alouke thawtawknae dawk maimouh ni a yonnae hmawt awh hoeh ati awh teh,
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.'
6 Darius siangpahrang koe a kamkhueng awh. Siangpahrang na hring saw seh.
Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: 'O king Darius, to the ages live!
7 Bawipa, nang koe hloilah alouke tami koe nakunghai, cathut koe nakunghai hnin 30 touh thung ka ratoum e tami teh, sendekkhu thung tâkhawng lah awmseh telah kâraphoe thai hoeh e kâ pathang sak hanelah uknaeram ukkung bawinaw, kho ukkung bawinaw, rahak lai ka deikungnaw hoi ukkung pueng ni lungkânging awh toe.
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.
8 Hatdawkvah, laideitâtueng e teh caksak haw. Medes Persia phung patetlah kâraphoe thai hoeh e tacikkin sin haw atipouh awh.
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.'
9 Hatdawkvah, Darius siangpahrang ni laideitâtueng e teh kutnout a thut sin.
Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict.
10 Hote laideitâtueng e hah tacik a kin sin teh a pathang toe tie Daniel ni a panue ei, ama im a cei teh, imvan Jerusalem kho lah kangvawinae hlalangaw a paawng laihoi, meng ouk a sak e patetlah khok cuengkhuem laihoi hnin touh dawk vai thum touh a ratoum teh Cathut koe lunghawi lawk a dei.
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.
11 Hottelah Cathut koe a ratoum e hah bawinaw ni a kamkhueng awh teh, a hmu awh navah,
Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and entreating grace before his God;
12 siangpahrang koe a cei awh teh, siangpahrang nang koe hloilah, alouke tami koe nakunghai, cathut koe nakunghai, hnin 30 touh thung ka ratoum e tami teh sendek e khu thung tâkhawng lah awmseh telah kutnout na thut nahoehmaw telah laideitâtueng e hah a pacei awh. Siangpahrang ni hai kâraphoe thai hoeh e Medes Persia phung patetlah bokheiyah atipouh.
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.'
13 Bawinaw ni hai siangpahrang, Judah ram hoi na man e Judah tami Daniel ni siangpahrang banglahai ngaihoeh. Kutnout na thut teh na pathang e laideitâtueng e hai banglahai ngâi hoeh. Hnin touh dawk vai thum touh a ratoum atipouh awh.
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.'
14 Hote lawk hah siangpahrang ni a thai navah puenghoi a kângai teh, Daniel a hlout thai nahan kanî a khup ditouh a kâpouk.
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.
15 Bawinaw teh siangpahrang koe bout a kamkhueng awh teh, siangpahrang vai touh pathang tangcoung e laideitâtueng e teh Media Persia phung lah kâroephoe thai hoeh tie hah panuek khe, bout atipouh awh.
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.'
16 Hattoteh siangpahrang ni kâ a poe e patetlah Daniel hah a thokhai awh teh, sendekkhu thung a tâkhawng awh. Siangpahrang ni Daniel koe, pout laipalah na bawk e Cathut ni nang teh na hlout sak seh atipouh.
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.'
17 Lungphenpui hah a la awh teh, sendekkhu a khuem awh. Daniel e akong dawk bout pathuengpathainae ao hoeh nahanelah siangpahrang e kuthrawt hoi bawinaw e khuthrawt hoi a kin awh.
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.
18 Hahoi, siangpahrang teh im lah a ban teh karum tuettuet rawca a hai. A hmalah ratoung tamawi hai tum sak hoeh. Ip hai ip thai hoeh.
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.
19 Atangtho amom a thaw teh sendekkhu koe karanglah a cei.
Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;
20 Sendek khu koe a pha toteh, khuika laihoi Daniel hah a kaw teh, kahring Cathut e a san Daniel, nang ni pout laipalah na bawk e Cathut ni sendek runae koehoi na hlout sak thai maw atipouh.
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?'
21 Daniel ni siangpahrang na hring dung vang seh.
Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: 'O king, to the ages live:
22 Ka Cathut ni a kalvantami a patoun teh, sendeknaw e a pahninaw hah a tabuem pouh. Hatdawkvah, kai teh sendek runae dawk hoi ka hlout. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh Cathut hmalah kacueme lah ka o teh, nang koehai payonnae ka sak hoeh.
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.'
23 Hat toteh, siangpahrang puenghoi a lunghawi teh, Daniel hah sendekkhu thung hoi rasa hanelah kâ a poe.
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.
24 Hathnukkhu Daniel yon ka pen e naw hah, siangpahrang e kâ lahoi a kaw awh teh, a yuca abuemlahoi sendekkhu dawk a tâkhawng awh. Talai a pha hoehnahlan sendeknaw ni a hruhrawng pueng vekrasen lah a kei teh a ca awh.
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.
25 Hottelah hoi, talai van kho tangkuem kaawm e lawk cawngca, miphun cawngca pueng koe siangpahrang e kâ lahoi ca a thut teh, a patawn. Ca a thut e teh, nangmouh koe lungmawngnae pung seh.
Then Darius the king hath written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: 'Your peace be great!
26 Kai ni ka uknaeram thung kaawm e nangmouh ni, Daniel ni a bawk e Cathut hah taket awh telah lawk tâtuengnae ka sak. Bangtelamaw tetpawiteh, hote Cathut teh, kahring e Cathut, a yungyoe kangning e Cathut lah ao. Aram teh rawk thai mahoeh. A uknaeram hai a yungyoe a kangning han.
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.
27 A rungngang teh a hlout sak. Kalvan hoi talai van hai mitnoutnae, kângairunae hnonaw a tâco sak. Daniel hah sendek hnotithainae dawk hoi ka hlout sak e Cathut lah ao.
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.'
28 Hottelah hoi Daniel teh, Darius a bawi nahai thoseh, Persia tami Sairas a bawi nahai thoseh, hawinae ka coe e lah ao.
And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
