Daniel 6
1 Darius kiti Mede mipa chun, a lenggam pumpi chu gamkai ja le somni soding adeiyin, hitichun ahomkhen tai. Chuleh hiche gamkai ho’a vaipo ding in gamkai khat’a mikhat cheh apansah tai.
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
2 Gamkai vaipo ho jouse chung’a avesui ding leh vaihom pipu dingin, lengpan Daniel leh midang mini jong apansah tan ahi. Amaho cheng hin lengpa lungdei aboluva, gamkai vaipo ho toh je ahil ding’u chuleh lenggam aventup ding’u ahi.
and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.
3 Chomlou kah in, vaihom pipu mini leh gamkai vaipo ho sangin, Daniel chu natoh thilbol athemjo tan, chuleh imalam jousea ahung minthang tan ahi. Daniel chung’a Pathen lhagao achen jing jeh chun midang ho sang in natoh thilbol thepna aneijin, hijeh chun lengpan, alenggam vaipi po’a vetup ding in Daniel chu agong tan ahi.
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Chuphat in, vaihom pipu mini toh gamvaipo ho chun, gamsung kivaihomna dol’a Daniel bolkhel themmo chansah nading aholuvin, ahivang in amudoh jou pouvin ahi. Ajeh chu, Daniel chu kitah tah leh thudihtah’a thilbol ahin, chuleh amopohna-a son umtah leh Pathen ging’a natong ahi.
Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Chuin amaho akihouvun, “Daniel themmo chansah nading chu, ama Pathen houna thudol tilouvin, thildang ima eihon ibol thei ding’u aum poi.’’ ati tauve.
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.
6 Hijeh chun, vaihom pipu mini toh gamkai vaipo hochu, lengpa kom’a acheuvin, ajah a: Lengpa Darius Hingsot in!
Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 Na lenggam sung’a vaihom pipuho, vaihom thuneiho, gamkai vaipo ho, thumop’a pang ho, chuleh miching mithem ho cheng in, kihou lhuhna khat kaneijun: Vo lengpa, nangman dankhat na phudoh ding, amitakip in khoutah’a juicheh ding katiuve. Hichu, ni somthum sung’a mihem kom hihen chuleh pathen houna hijong leh, koiman nangkom tilouva taona leh thumna anei theilou ding, hiche hi ajuilou leh apalkeh aum leh sakei bahkai kulsung’a selut ding, tin thupeh bolin.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Chuleh vo lengpa, tun hiche dan kisem chu khellou dingin khut henna bolkhumin, chuleh phongdoh in, hichu Mede mite leh Persia mite danthu dungjuiya avel’a kiladoh kitlou ding ahitai,’’ atiuve.
Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 Hijeh chun Darius lengpan, hiche dan kisem chu khut-hen abol khum tai.
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.
10 Chuin lengpan dan kisem chu khut-hen abolkhum taiti Daniel in ahetdoh phat chun, a-in lam’ah achen, a-indan chungnung’a alut in, Jerusalem lang ngan bangkot ahong in, abol jing bang chun adilsun atao tai. Aman aphat seh’a abolji bang chun, nikhat sungin a Pathen heng’a thangvahna thumvei anei jing in ahi.
And 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 upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
11 Hichun miphalou vaipo ho chu Daniel chenna in-ah chun acheuvin ahileh, Daniel chu, a Pathen heng’a taona aneipet agamu tauvin ahi.
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
12 Chutah chun amaho jong lengpa kom ajonpaiyun, dan kisem chung chang thu aseijun, Daniel hehnan aneijun, lengpa jah’a, “Vo lengpa, ni somthum sung’a nangkom tilouva, mihem hihen chuleh Pathen houna hijong leh, koiman taona anei theilou ding, hiche hi ajuilou leh apalkeh aumleh, sakei bahkai kulsung’a selut ding tia dan kisem chu, nangma tah in khut-henna na bolkhum hitalou ham?” atiuve. Lengpan adonbut in, “Hiche dan kiphutdoh hi, Mede mite leh Persia mite danthua umjing ding, kiladoh lou ding ahitai,’’ ati.
Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, 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 altereth not.
13 Hichun amahon jong lengpa chu adonbut’un, “Vo lengpa, Judah gam’a kon sohchang’a hung kikai holah’a, Daniel kitipa chun na thupeh adonse pon chuleh nakhut- hennasa dan kisem jong chu imalouvin akoijin, nikhat sungin abolngai ngaijin, aPathen kom’a thumvei atao jing’e’’ atiuvin, aheh tauve.
Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14 Hiche thuhi ajahdoh phat in, lengpa chu hatah in along gim tai. Aman Daniel chu huhdoh teina ding angaiton, lunggil tah in agelpan tai. Hiche boina-a kon’a Daniel lhadoh teina ding lampi aholin, nilhum keijin akigeltan ahi.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.
15 Nilhah ahiphat chun, miho chu lengpa heng’a achekhomun, ajah a aseitauve, “Vo lengpa, Mede mite leh Persia mite danthu dungjuiya lengpan khut-hen abol khumsa dan chu kikhel theilou ahi, nangmatah in nahet ahi,’’atiuve.
Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
16 Hichun alou theilouvin Daniel chu mat dingin, lengpan thu apetan, agaman tauve. Chuleh sakei bahkai kulsung’a chun aseplut tauvin ahi. Lengpan Daniel jah’a, “Kitah tah’a nahou jing na Pathen chun na huhdoh hen” ati.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17 Chuin songpi khat atanglutuvin, sakei bahkai kulkot chu asing tauve. Chuleh songpi chung’a chun lengpa leh amilen milal hon Mohor in melchihna anom khum cheh tauvin ahi. Hichu koiman Daniel chu agalha dohlou nading’a abol’u ahi.
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 nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
18 Chuin lengpa jong lung oilou tahin a-inpia akile tai. Ajan chun an angolin, imutheilouvin akhovah tai. Chuleh angaina-a kibolji golnop jong abol tapouve.
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 Ajing jingkah matah in, lengpa chu athoudohloijin, sakei bahkai kul langchu kinotah in ajontai.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
20 Chuin amun alhunphat chun, aman lung natah in apeng jah in, “Vo Daniel, Pathen hingjing sohpa! Kitahtah’a nahou jing na Pathen chun sakei bahkai lah’a kon’a na huhdoh hinam?’’ ati.
And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
21 Daniel in adonbut in, “Vo lengpa hingsot in!”
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
22 “Ka Pathen chun a vantil ahinsol lhan, sakei bahkai ho kam asippeh in, eisu khapouve. Ajeh chu Pakai mitmun keima nolna beijin ka um’e, chuleh nangma angsung’a jong suhkhel ka neipoi, Vo! lengpa’’ ahinti.
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
23 Chutah chun lengpa jong akipah behseh jeng in, Daniel chu sakei bahkai kul sung’a kon’a lahdoh loi dingin thu apetai. Aman a Pathen dettah’a atahsan jal chun, atahsa chung’a maha imacha aum poi.
Then was the king exceeding 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 upon him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 Chuin lengpan thupeh abolin, Daniel chunga dihlou tah’a hehsetna anabol hochu amandoh un, amaho leh ajite chuleh achate jouse jong abon’un, sakei bahkai kul sung’a chun alehlut tauve. Hichun, tol’a achuh masang’un, sakei bahkai hon aman’un, abottel tel gamset tauvin ahi.
And the king commanded, and they brought those men that 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 they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Chuin Darius lengpan, leiset pumpia chitin namtin’a miho leh pao tintang tho ho heng’a, hiche thuhi athot tai, “Na chunguva cham leh kipana chuleh khantouna umhen!”
Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 Keiman hiche thugahna hi kabol ahi, kalenggam sung pumpia amitakip’in, Daniel Pathen chu gingsoh hen chuleh kihot hot pumin jabol cheh hen. Ajeh chu amahi Pathen Hingjing ahin, Chuleh a tonsot geija thohjou jing Pathen ahi. Alenggam jong a itih’a kisumang louding, Chuleh alengvai pohna jong beitih umlou ding ahi.
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 stedfast for ever, And his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27 Aman amite aholdohjin chuleh ahuhhing ji'e. Chuleh aman van leh leiset chung’a melchihna kidang ho leh bolmo kidang ho aboljin ahi. Aman sakei bahkai ho lah’a konin Daniel jong ana huhdoh’e.
He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 Hiche jeh chun, Darius lengvaipoh sung leh Persia mi Cyrus lengvaipoh sung chun, Daniel chu akhangtou jing jeng tai.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
