Daniel 6
1 It pleased Darius to appoint over the kingdom 120 provincial governors who would rule over all the kingdom.
Svidje se Dariju te postavi nad carstvom sto i pedeset upravitelja da budu nad svijem carstvom;
2 Over them there were three chief administrators, and Daniel was one of them. These chief administrators were appointed so that they might supervise the provincial governors, so that the king should suffer no loss.
A nad njima tri starješine, od kojih jedan bješe Danilo, kojima æe upravitelji davati raèune da ne bi caru bilo štete.
3 Daniel was distinguished above the other chief administrators and the provincial governors because he had an extraordinary spirit. The king was planning to put him over the whole 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 other chief administrators and the provincial governors looked for mistakes in the work Daniel did for the kingdom, but they could find no corruption or failure in his duty because he was faithful. No mistakes or negligence was found in him.
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 Then these men said, “We cannot find any reason to complain against this Daniel unless we find something against him regarding the law 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 these administrators and governors brought a plan before the king. They said to him, “King Darius, may you live forever!
Tada doðoše starješine i upravitelji k caru, i rekoše mu ovako: Darije care, da si živ dovijeka.
7 All the chief administrators of the kingdom, the regional governors, and the provincial governors, the advisors, and the governors have consulted together and decided that you, the king, should issue a decree and should enforce it, so that whoever makes a petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, king, that person must be thrown 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, King, issue a decree and sign the document so that it may not be changed, as directed by the laws of the Medes and Persians, so it cannot be repealed.”
Zato, care, postavi tu zabranu i napiši da se ne može promijeniti, po zakonu Midskom i Persijskom, koji je nepromjenit.
9 So king Darius signed the document making the decree into a law.
I car Darije napisa knjigu i zabranu.
10 When Daniel learned that the document had been signed into law, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his upper room toward Jerusalem), and he got down on his knees, as he did three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done 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 who had formed the plot together saw Daniel make requests and seek help from God.
Tada se sabraše oni ljudi, i naðoše Danila gdje se moli i pripada Bogu svojemu.
12 Then they approached the king and spoke with him about his decree: “Did you not make a decree that everyone who makes a petition to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, king, must be throw into the den of lions?” The king answered, “The matter is settled, as directed by the law of the Medes and Persians; it cannot be repealed.”
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 replied to the king, “That person Daniel, who is one of the people of the exile from Judah, pays no attention to you, king, or to the decree that you have signed. He prays to his God three times a day.”
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 When the king heard this, he was terribly distressed, and he applied his mind to rescue Daniel from this ruling. He labored until sunset to try to save Daniel.
Tada car èuvši to ožalosti se vrlo, i naumi da izbavi Danila, i truðaše se do zahoda sunèanoga da ga izbavi.
15 Then these men who had formed the plot gathered together with the king and said to him, “Know, king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree or statute that the king issues can be changed.”
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 gave an order, and they brought in Daniel, and they threw him into the lions' den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue 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 A stone was brought over the entrance to the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles so that nothing might be changed concerning 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 Then the king went to his palace and he went through the night fasting. No entertainment was brought before him, and sleep fled from him.
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 at daybreak the king got up and he quickly went to the lions' den.
Potom car usta ujutru rano i otide brže k jami lavovskoj.
20 As he came near to the den, he called out to Daniel in a sad voice, saying to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to save you from the lions?”
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 Then said Daniel to the king, “King, live forever!
Tada Danilo reèe caru: care, da si živ dovijeka!
22 My God has sent his messenger and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me. For I was found blameless before him and also before you, king, and I have done you no harm.”
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 happy. He gave an order that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was lifted up out of the den. No harm was found on him, because he had trusted 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 The king gave an order, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel and threw them into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives. Before they reached the floor, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones to pieces.
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 the peoples, nations, and languages that live in all the earth: “May peace increase for you.
Tada car Darije pisa svijem narodima i plemenima i jezicima što življahu u svoj zemlji: mir da vam se umnoži.
26 I hereby make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God and lives forever, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed; his dominion shall be to the end.
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 makes us safe and rescues us, and he does signs and wonders in heaven and in earth; he has kept Daniel safe from the strength 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 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and during the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
I taj Danilo bijaše sreæan za carovanja Darijeva i za carovanja Kira Persijanca.
