Daniel 6
1 And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;
Svidje se Dariju te postavi nad carstvom sto i pedeset upravitelja da budu nad svijem carstvom;
2 and over them three governors, of whom one was, Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the king should not be troubled.
A nad njima tri starješine, od kojih jedan bješe Danilo, kojima æe upravitelji davati raèune da ne bi caru bilo štete.
3 And Daniel was over them, for [there was] an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom.
A taj Danilo nadvišivaše starješine i upravitelje, jer u njemu bješe velik duh i car mišljaše da ga postavi nad svijem carstvom svojim.
4 Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful.
Tada starješine i upravitelji gledahu kako bi našli što da zabave Danilu radi carstva; ali ne mogahu naæi zabave ni pogrješke, jer bješe vjeran, i ne nalažaše se u njega pogrješke ni mane.
5 And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.
Tada rekoše oni ljudi: neæemo naæi na toga Danila ništa, ako ne naðemo što na nj radi zakona Boga njegova.
6 Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.
Tada doðoše starješine i upravitelji k caru, i rekoše mu ovako: Darije care, da si živ dovijeka.
7 All who preside over your kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
Sve starješine u carstvu, poglavari i upravitelji, vijeænici i vojvode dogovoriše se da se postavi carska naredba i oštra zabrana da ko bi se god zamolio za što kome god bogu ili èovjeku za trideset dana osim tebi, care, da se baci u jamu lavovsku.
8 Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed.
Zato, care, postavi tu zabranu i napiši da se ne može promijeniti, po zakonu Midskom i Persijskom, koji je nepromjenit.
9 Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written.
I car Darije napisa knjigu i zabranu.
10 And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers towards Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before.
A Danilo kad dozna da je knjiga napisana, otide svojoj kuæi, gdje bijahu otvoreni prozori u njegovoj sobi prema Jerusalimu, i padaše na koljena svoja tri puta na dan i moljaše se i hvalu davaše Bogu svojemu kao što èinjaše prije.
11 Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God.
Tada se sabraše oni ljudi, i naðoše Danila gdje se moli i pripada Bogu svojemu.
12 And they came and said to the king, O king, has you not made a decree, that whatever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass.
I otidoše te rekoše caru za carsku zabranu: nijesi li napisao zapovijest, da ko bi se god zamolio kome god bogu ili èovjeku za trideset dana, osim tebi, care, da se baci u jamu lavovsku? Car odgovori i reèe: tako je po zakonu Midskom i Persijskom, koji je nepromjenit.
13 Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to your decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.
Tada odgovoriše i rekoše caru: Danilo, koji je izmeðu roblja Judina, ne haje za te, care, ni za zabranu koju si napisao, nego se moli tri puta na dan svojom molitvom.
14 Then the king, when he heard the saying, was much grieved for Daniel and he greatly exerted himself for Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver him.
Tada car èuvši to ožalosti se vrlo, i naumi da izbavi Danila, i truðaše se do zahoda sunèanoga da ga izbavi.
15 Then those men said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that we must not change any decree of statue which the king shall make.
Tada oni ljudi sabraše se kod cara i rekoše caru: znaj, care, da je zakon u Midijana i Persijana da se nikakva zabrana i naredba, koju postavi car, ne mijenja.
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.
Tada car reèe te dovedoše Danila i baciše ga u jamu lavovsku; i car progovori i reèe Danilu: Bog tvoj, kojemu bez prestanka služiš, neka te izbavi.
17 And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed [it] with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel.
I donesoše kamen i metnuše jami na vrata, i car ga zapeèati svojim prstenom i prstenom svojih knezova da se ništa ne promijeni za Danila.
18 And the king departed to his house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they not molest Daniel.
Tada otide car u svoj dvor, i prenoæi ne jedavši niti dopustivši da mu se donese što èim bi se razveselio, i ne može zaspati.
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in have to the den of lions.
Potom car usta ujutru rano i otide brže k jami lavovskoj.
20 And when he drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lion's mouth?
I kad doðe k jami, viknu Danila žalosnijem glasom; i progovori car i reèe Danilu: Danilo, slugo Boga živoga, Bog tvoj, kojemu služiš bez prestanka, može li te izbaviti od lavova?
21 And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.
Tada Danilo reèe caru: care, da si živ dovijeka!
22 My God has sent his angel, and stopped the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before you, O king, I have committed no trespass.
Bog moj posla anðela svojega i zatvori usta lavovima, te mi ne naudiše; jer se naðoh èist pred njim, a ni tebi, care, ne uèinih zla.
23 Then the king was very glad for him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he believed in his God.
Tada se car veoma obradova tomu, i zapovjedi da izvade Danila iz jame. I izvadiše Danila iz jame, i ne naðe se rane na njemu, jer vjerova Bogu svojemu.
24 And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones.
Potom zapovjedi car, te dovedoše ljude koji bijahu optužili Danila, i baciše u jamu lavovsku njih, djecu njihovu i žene njihove; i još ne doðoše na dno jami, a lavovi ih zgrabiše i sve im kosti potrše.
25 Then king Darius wrote to all nations, tribes, [and] languages, who dwell in all the earth, [saying], Peace be multiplied to you.
Tada car Darije pisa svijem narodima i plemenima i jezicima što življahu u svoj zemlji: mir da vam se umnoži.
26 This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that [men] tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living and eternal God, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion is for ever.
Od mene je zapovijest da se u svoj državi carstva mojega svak boji i straši Boga Danilova, jer je on Bog živi, koji ostaje dovijeka, i carstvo se njegovo neæe rasuti, i vlast æe njegova biti do kraja;
27 He helps and delivers, and works signs and wonders in the heaven and on the earth, who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.
On izbavlja i spasava, i èini znake i èudesa na nebu i na zemlji, on je izbavio Danila od sile lavovske.
28 And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
I taj Danilo bijaše sreæan za carovanja Darijeva i za carovanja Kira Persijanca.
