< Daniel 6 >

1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
Darius el sulela sel elan srisrngiya governor siofok longoul in karingin acn nukewa ma el leumi uh.
2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
Sayen mwet inge, el sulella Daniel ac mwet luo pac sayal in liyaung orekma lun governor inge, ac in taran pac fahsriyen mwe kasrup lal tokosra uh.
3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Tiana paht toko, arulana kalem lah orekma lal Daniel uh wo liki mwet wial ma kol orekma, oayapa governor uh kewa. Ac ke sripen el arulana pisrla ke orekma lal, tokosra el nunkauk elan oakilya Daniel tuh elan leumi tokosrai sac nufon.
4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
Na mwet kol wial, ac governor uh, elos srike in suk mwatal ke ouiyen orekma kunal nu ke tokosrai uh, tusruktu elos tiana konauk kutena sripa ma elos ku in akkolukyal kac, mweyen Daniel el arulana pwaye ac suwohs in orekma lal, ac el tia orala kutena ma sufal ku sesuwos.
5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Na elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Kut ac tia ku in konauk kutena ma in akkolukyalla Daniel kac, sayen ma nu ke alu lal uh.”
6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
Ouinge elos som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Tokosra Darius, lela in loes moul lun Leum Fulat luk!
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Kut nukewa su karingin tokosrai lom uh — mwet kol ke orekma, governor uh, governor akluo uh, ac mwet fulat pac saya — nunak sela tuh tokosra in orala sie ma sap, ac akkeye in arulana ku. Kom in sapkin ouinge, tuh ke lusen len tolngoul, wangin mwet in siyuk ke kutena ma sin kutena god, ku sin kutena mwet, a in siyuk sum mukena ke mwe enenu lal. Mwet se fin kunausla ma sap se inge in fah sisiyang el nu in luf se ma sessesla ke lion uh.
8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which alters not.
Ke ma inge, lela tokosra in orala ma sap se inge ac sainiya, na ac fah akkeyeyuk tuh in sie ma sap lun mwet Mede ac mwet Persia, su ac fah tia ku in ikilyukla.”
9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Ouinge Tokosra Darius el sainiya ma sap sac.
10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did in old times.
Daniel el ne lohng lah ma sap sac sainiyuki, a el som nu ke twek se ke lohm sel su oasr winto tulwala nu Jerusalem, ac oru oana ke el oru pacl nukewa. El ikasla sie winto ah, ac sikukmutunteyak ac pre nu sin God pacl tolu ke len se.
11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Ke mwet lokoalok lal Daniel elos liye lah el pre nu sin God,
12 Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree; Have you not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which alters not.
elos nukewa som nu yorol tokosra in akkolukyal Daniel. Elos fahk, “O Tokosra, kom tuh sainiya ma sap se fahk mu ke inmasrlon len tolngoul, kutena mwet su siyuk kutena ma sin kutena god ku kutena mwet sayom, ac fah sisiyang nu in luf se ma sessesla ke lion.” Ac tokosra el fahk, “Pwaye, ma sap na ku se pa ingan, sie ma sap lun mwet Mede ac mwet Persia, su ac tia ku in ikilyukla.”
13 Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regards not you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.
Na elos fahk nu sel tokosra, “Daniel, sie sin mwet sruoh Judah, el tia akfulatye tokosra, ku akos ma sap se tokosra el orala ah. El srakna pre pacl tolu ke len se, oana ke el oru pacl nukewa.”
14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
Ke tokosra el lohng ma inge el arulana supwarla kac, ac sang na kuiyal in suk inkanek in molella Daniel. El srike nwe ke na fongeni.
15 Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.
Na mwet lokoalok lal Daniel elos foloko nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Tokosra etu na tari lah ke oakwuk lun mwet Mede ac mwet Persia uh, wangin ma sap ma tokosra oakiya ku in ikilyukla.”
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said unto Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.
Ke ma inge tokosra el sapkin in utukla Daniel ac sisiyang el nu in luf se ma sessesla ke lion. Ac el fahk nu sel Daniel, “Lela God lom, su kom arulana oaru in kulansupu, Elan loangekom.”
17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
Itukyang eot lulap se in afinya mutun luf sac, na tokosra el filiya sil lal sifacna ac sil lun mwet wal fulat lal fin eot sac, tuh in fah wangin mwet ku in ikasulla Daniel.
18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
Na tokosra el folokla nu inkul fulat sel, ac koflana motulla in fong sac. El tiana mongo, ac tia pacna lela in oasr mwe akpwar orek nu sel.
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
Toang na in lutu se tok ah tokosra el sulaklak som nu ke luf sac.
20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?
Ke el apkuranyang nu kac, el orala pang na elya se ac fahk, “Daniel, mwet kulansap lun God moul! Ku God se lom, su kom arulana moniyuk in kulansup nu se, El molikomla liki lion uh?”
21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
Ac Daniel el fahk nu sin tokosra, “Lela in loes moul lun tokosra!
22 My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, have I done no hurt.
God El supwama lipufan lal in tuh kaliya oalin lion uh, oru elos tia ku in ngalisyuwi, mweyen El etu lah wangin ma sufal luk, ac wangin pac ma nga orala koluk nu sum, O Tokosra.”
23 Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
Tokosra el arulana enganak, ac sap in amacyak Daniel liki luf sac. Ouinge elos amakunulak ac liye lah wangin kutena ma sikyak nu sel, mweyen el lulalfongi God.
24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces before even they came at the bottom of the den.
Na tokosra el sap in sruhu nufon mwet ma tuh akkolukyal Daniel, ac el sap in sisiyang elos, wi mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, nu in luf se ma sessesla ke lion ah. Meet liki na elos sun kapin luf sac, lion uh atuyang nu selos ac kotkoteya nufon sri kaclos uh.
25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
Na Tokosra Darius el sim nu sin mwet in mutunfacl nukewa ac kain in kas nukewa fin faclu, ac fahk: “Paing kowos nukewa!
26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
Nga sapkin nu sin mwet in mutunfacl nukewa su nga leumi, tuh mwet nukewa in sangeng ac akfulatye God lal Daniel. “El sie God moul, Ac El fah leum nwe tok. Tokosrai lal fah tiana kunausyukla, Ac ku lal ac fah wangin saflaiya.
27 He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
El molela ac loangela; El oru ma usrnguk ac mwenmen In kusrao ac fin faclu. El molella Daniel liki ku lun lion uh.”
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Arulana yokyokelik wal lal Daniel in we lal Tokosra Darius, oayapa in we lal Tokosra Cyrus, mwet Persia.
