< Daniel 6 >

1 Darius loh a doe phoeiah tah a ram ah mangpa ya pakul a pai sak tih ram tom ah om uh.
It pleased Daryavesh to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
2 Daniel te tah amih taemrhaikung pathum khuikah pakhat la om tih amih kah a soah om. Mangpa la aka om rhoek he a taengah saithainah a paek tih manghai khaw a vaitah om pawh.
and over them three administrators, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.
3 Te vaengah Daniel tah taemrhaikung rhoek neh mangpa rhoek lakli ah a poekhloep om. He kong ah he a khuiah mueihla lang tih manghai loh anih a ram pum soah pai sak hamla cai.
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the administrators and the satraps, because an extraordinary spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Tedae taemrhaikung rhoek neh mangpa la aka om rhoek loh ram soehsalnah te Daniel taengah hmuh hamla a longim a tlap uh. Te cakhaw he kong dongah he anih tah a uepom dongah longim neh a tholh pakhat khaw a hmuh thai moenih. Dalrhanah neh a hong boeih he tah a pum dongah a tueng moenih.
Then the administrators and the satraps sought to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful. Neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Te vaengah tah tekah hlang rhoek loh, “Daniel taengah longim boeih he m'hmuh moenih, a Pathen kah oltlueh dongah a om bueng ni a soah m'hmuh dae,” a ti uh.
Then these men said, "We will not find any charge against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."
6 Te dongah taemrhaikung rhoek neh mangpa rhoek he manghai taengla khong tih amah te, “Darius manghai kumhal duela hing pai saeh,” a ti nauh.
Then these administrators and satraps assembled together to the king, and said this to him, "King Daryavesh, live forever.
7 Ram kah taemrhaikung rhoek neh ukkung, mangpa rhoek, olrhoep rhoek neh boei rhoek tah boeih olrhoep uh tih, “Hnin sawmthum khuiah manghai nang kah voel ah pathen neh hlang khat khat taengah thangthuinah neh aka thangthui boeih tah sathueng buep la voeih ham manghai kah oltloek neh olpaek a tloh la a saii sak.
All the administrators of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Te dongah, “Manghai aw, olpaek mah cak sak lamtah cadaek te daek laeh. Te te Media neh Persia oltlueh bangla thovael ham pawt tih hoilae boel saeh,” a ti uh.
Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."
9 He kong dongah he manghai Darius loh cadaek neh olpaek te a daek.
Therefore king Daryavesh signed the writing and the decree.
10 Cadaek a daek te a ming vaengah Daniel tah amah im la cet. A imhman ah Jerusalem benkah bangbuet te a ong tih hnin at ah voei thum a khuklu dongah cungkueng tih thangthui. Te kong dongah hlamat lamloh a saii pah te a om coeng dongah a Pathen te a uem.
When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
11 Te vaengah hlang rhoek tah puei uh tih Daniel loh a Pathen taengah thangthui neh a bih te a hmuh uh.
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and petition before his God.
12 Te dongah cet uh tih manghai kah olpaek kawng neh manghai te, “Hnin sawmthum khuiah manghai namah voel ah pathen neh hlang khat khat taengah aka thangthui hlang boeih tah sathueng khui la voei saeh tila olpaek na daek moenih a?” a ti nauh. Te dongah manghai loh a doo tih, “Media neh Persia oltlueh bangla ol cak tih te n'hoilae thai moenih,” a ti nah.
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree. "Haven't you signed a decree, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."
13 Te vaengah a doo uh tih manghai taengah, “Judah hlangsol ca lamkah Daniel tah manghai namah taengkah saithainah neh olpaek na daek te ngai pawt tih a thangthuinah neh hnin at ah voei thum thangthui,” a ti nauh.
Then they answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn't regard you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."
14 Manghai loh ol a yaak vaengah amah te muep hah tih Daniel te a loeih sak ham a ko om. Khomik a tlak hil anih huul ham thakthae la om.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him. And he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.
15 Te vaengah hlang rhoek te manghai taengla puei uh thae tih manghai te, “Manghai aw, Media neh Persia kah oltlueh bangla, manghai kah olpaek neh oltloek a khueh boeih tah thovael thai pawt te ming,” a ti nauh.
Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed."
16 Te dongah manghai kah a ti bangla Daniel te a khuen uh tih sathueng buep la a voeih uh. Te vaengah manghai loh avoek tih Daniel te, “Amah na bawk vanbangla na Pathen amah loh nang te dungyan duela n'loeih sak saeh,” a ti nah.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, "Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you."
17 Te phoeiah lungto pakhat a khuen uh tih buep rhai te a tlaeng uh. Te phoeiah tah Daniel kah a hmuethma thovael pawt hamla manghai loh amah kah kutbuen nen khaw a boei rhoek kah kutbuen nen khaw a daeng thil.
A stone was brought, and placed on the opening of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
18 Manghai te amah bawkim la mael dae buhmueh la hak tih a tumbael khaw a taengla khuen pawh. Te dongah a ih khaw anih lamloh a yong pah.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him. And his sleep fled from him.
19 Te dongah manghai te mincang khothaih vaengah ah thoo tih thintawn neh sathueng buep la cet.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 A buep kah Daniel taengla a yoei vaengah tah lungnat ol neh rhap. Manghai loh Daniel te a voek tih, “Mulhing Pathen kah tueihyoeih Daniel, amah te na Pathen pai tih nang loh amah te dungyan la na bawk. Sathueng khui lamloh nang loeih sak ham a noeng a?” a ti nah.
When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God. Is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?"
21 Te dongah Daniel loh manghai te, “Manghai tah kumhal la hing pai saeh.
Then said Daniel to the king, "O king, live forever.
22 Ka Pathen loh a puencawn han tueih tih sathueng ka te a buem dongah kai he m'phae moenih. He kong dongah kai he amah taengah ommongsitoe la n'tueng sak tih manghai namah taengah khaw tholh ka saii moenih?” a ti nah.
My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; because before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, have I done no wrong."
23 Te daengah manghai te a taengah bahoeng a kohoe tih Daniel te buep lamloh doek hamla a thui pah. Daniel te a Pathen soah a uepom dongah a buep lamloh a doek vaengah khaw a pum dongah a hma pakhat khaw a hmuh moenih.
Then was the king exceedingly glad, 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 on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 Te phoeiah manghai kah a thui bangla Daniel tholh aka pael hlang rhoek te a khuen uh tih amih te a yuu a ca rhoek neh sathueng buep la a voeih uh. Tedae buep kah cirhong te a pha uh mueh la amih te sathueng loh a paco uh tih a songrhuh boeih a caep pauh.
The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Te dongah Darius manghai loh namtu pilnam boeih neh olcom olcae taengah a daek pah. Diklai pum kah khosa, khosa te nangmih kah ngaimongnah pungtai saeh.
Then king Daryavesh wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you.
26 Kai lamkah saithainah he ka ram kah khohung boeih ah ka paek coeng. Daniel kah a Pathen taengah a thuen, thuen doela om uh saeh lamtah birhih uh saeh. Amah tah mulhing Pathen la om tih kumhal duela cak. A ram khaw tim pawt tih a khohung loh khobawt duela a pha.
I 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 steadfast forever. His kingdom shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be to the end.
27 A loeih sak tih a huul. Vaan neh diklai ah miknoek neh khobae rhambae a tueng sak. Amah loh Daniel te sathueng kut lamloh a loeih sak.
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."
28 Te dongah Daniel he Darius kah ram neh Persian kah Persian Cyrus ram khuiah thaihtak.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Daryavesh, and in the reign of Koresh the Persian.
