Daniel 6

It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

Dariyis deside chwazi sanven (120) prefè li mete chèf nan tout peyi a.

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.

Lèfini, li chwazi Danyèl ak de lòt moun li mete alatèt prefè yo. Reskonsablite yo se te kontwole travay prefè yo pou yo te ka defann enterè wa a.

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.

Danyèl sa a te fè travay li pi byen pase tout lòt gwo chèf ak prefè yo paske li te gen lespri pase yo. Se konsa wa a te fè lide mete l' reskonsab tout peyi a.

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.

Lè sa a, lòt gwo chèf yo ansanm ak prefè yo t'ap chache yon okazyon pou yo antrave Danyèl nan travay leta a. Men, yo pa t' ka jwenn anyen pou yo repwoche l' sitèlman Danyèl te yon nonm serye nan tou sa l'ap fè. Li pa t' pote ankenn neglijans ni pa t' gen ankenn mank nan travay li.

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.

Lè sa a yonn di lòt: -Nou pa ka jwenn anyen ki mal nan travay Danyèl ap fè a. Ann chache nan jan l'ap sèvi Bondye l' la.

Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

Se konsa yo kouri al jwenn wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Wa Dariyis, nou mande pou bondye yo ba ou lavi pou lontan ankò!

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 thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

Tout gwo chèf nan peyi a ansanm ak prefè yo, gouvènè yo, minis yo ak lòt chèf yo, nou tout, nou dakò pou wa a pase yon lòd sevè ki mande pou tout moun lapriyè nan pye wa a ase pandan trant jou. Nenpòt moun ki ta dezobeyi lòd sa a, epi ki ta lapriyè nan pye yon bondye osinon yon lòt moun pandan tan sa a, se pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou lyon yo.

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 altereth not.

Monwa, nou mande ou pou fè ekri lòd sa a, lèfini pou ou siyen l'. Konsa, dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès la, yo pa t' ka chanje anyen ladan l', tout moun fèt pou koube devan l'.

Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Se konsa, wa Dariyis siyen lòd la.

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 aforetime.

Lè Danyèl vin konnen wa a te siyen lòd sa a, li al lakay li. Te gen yon chanm anwo sou teras la ak yon fennèt ki bay nan direksyon lavil Jerizalèm. Li moute, li mete ajenou devan fennèt la ki te louvri, li lapriyè Bondye l' jan li te toujou fè, twa fwa pa jou a.

Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

Mesye yo vini, yo wè Danyèl ki t'ap lapriyè nan pye Bondye l' la.

Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of 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.

Yo tout al jwenn wa a epi yo di l': -Monwa, èske ou pa t' siyen yon lwa ki te mande pou tout moun lapriyè nan pye ou ase pandan trant jou? Nenpòt moun yo ta jwenn ap lapriyè yon bondye osinon yon lòt moun pandan tan sa a, se pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou lyon an, pa vre? Wa a reponn: -Lòd la bay dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès la ki pa ka chanje.

Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

Lè sa a, mesye yo di wa a: -Danyèl, yonn nan moun Jida yo te depòte isit yo, pa okipe ou menm, monwa. Li pa respekte lòd ou te bay la. Twa fwa pa jou, l'ap lapriyè lapriyè l'!

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.

Lè wa a tande sa, sa te fè l' lapenn anpil, li di nan kè l' se pou l' sove Danyèl. Jouk solèy kouche li t'ap chache yon jan pou l' fè kichòy pou Danyèl.

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 establisheth may be changed.

Mesye yo tounen kay wa a ankò, epi yo di l': -Monwa, pa bliye. Dapre lalwa peyi Medi ak peyi Pès, depi wa a fin siyen yon lòd, se fini.

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.

Se konsa, wa a bay lòd pou yo pran Danyèl, pou yo jete l' nan gwo twou kote lyon yo ye a. Li di Danyèl konsa: -Mwen mande pou Bondye w'ap sèvi san dezanpare a delivre ou!

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.

Yo pote yon gwo wòch. Yo mete l' anwo bouch twou a pou fèmen l'. Lèfini, yo mete sele sou li, wa a siyen l' ansanm ak lòt chèf yo. Konsa, pesonn pa ta ka vin sove Danyèl.

Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.

Apre sa, wa a tounen nan palè a. Jou swa sa a li pa manje, li pa fè chache ankenn nan fanm kay li yo. Li pase nwit lan san l' pa fèmen je l'.

Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

Nan maten, lè bajou kase, wa a leve, li kouri al bò twou lyon an.

And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and 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?

Lè li rive, li pwoche bò bouch twou a. Kè l' te sere lè li rele Danyèl, li di: -Danyèl, sèvitè Bondye vivan an, èske Bondye w'ap sèvi san dezanpare a te rive delivre ou anba lyon yo?

Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

Danyèl pale, li di wa a: -Se pou Bondye bay monwa lavi pou lontan ankò!

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that 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.

Bondye mwen an voye zanj li, li fèmen bouch lyon yo pou yo pa fè m' anyen. Li fè sa paske li konnen mwen inonsan. Epi ou menm tou, monwa, ou konnen m' pa fè ou anyen ki mal, pa vre?

Then was the king exceeding 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.

Wa a te kontan anpil. Li bay lòd pou yo rale Danyèl soti nan twou a mete l' deyò. Lè yo rale msye soti, yo wè lyon yo pa t' grafiyen l' menm, paske li te mete konfyans li nan Bondye l'.

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 or ever they came at the bottom of the den.

Lè sa a, wa a bay lòd pou y' al arete tout moun ki te vin akize Danyèl yo. Li fè jete yo tout nan gwo twou lyon an ansanm ak madanm yo ak pitit yo. Yo pa t' ankò rive atè nan twou a, lyon yo te gen tan vare sou yo, kraze tout zo nan kò yo.

Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

Apre sa, wa Dariyis ekri yon lèt voye bay tout moun sou latè, moun tout peyi, moun tout ras ki pale tout kalite lang. Li di yo: -Mwen mande pou nou viv ak anpil kè poze!

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 stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

Men lòd mwen bay pou tout peyi ki sou zòd mwen: Se pou tout moun gen krentif pou Bondye Danyèl la. Se pou yo respekte l'. Se yon Bondye vivan li ye! Se li menm ki chèf pou tout tan! Gouvènman li p'ap janm tonbe. Pouvwa li p'ap janm fini.

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.

Li sove, li delivre, li fè bèl bagay ak gwo mirak nan syèl la ak sou latè. Li sove Danyèl, li pa kite lyon yo devore l'!

So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Zafè Danyèl te mache byen pandan tout rèy wa Dariyis ak wa Siris, moun peyi Pès la.
