Daanyeel Oo Ku Jiray Bohoshii Libaaxyada

Daariyus waxaa la wanaagsanaa inuu boqortooyadiisa u yeelo boqol iyo labaatan amiir, oo boqortooyada oo dhan wada gaadha; oo wuxuu iyagii ka sara mariyey saddex taliye, oo Daanyeel ka mid ahaa; inay amiirradu iyaga la xisaabtamaan, oo aan boqorka khasaare ku dhicin. Markaasaa Daanyeel laga soocay taliyayaashii iyo amiirradii, maxaa yeelay, waxaa isaga ku jiray ruux aad u wanaagsan; boqorkiina wuxuu ku fikiray inuu talada boqortooyada oo dhan u dhiibo. Markaasaa taliyayaashii iyo amiirradii waxay doondooneen sabab ay Daanyeel ku dacweeyaan oo xagga boqortooyada ku saabsan; laakiinse way waayeen sabab iyo xumaan toona; maxaa yeelay, isagu wuxuu ahaa aamin, oo qalad iyo xumaan toona lagama helin. Markaasay nimankaasu waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Sabab ku heli mayno Daanyeelkan, haddaynan ku helin xagga sharciga ku saabsan Ilaahiisa. Markaasaa taliyayaashii iyo amiirradii la shireen boqorkii, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Boqor Daariyusow, weligaaba noolow. Madaxweynayaashii boqortooyada oo dhan, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo amiirradii, iyo waaniyayaashii, iyo saraakiishii, waxay ku tashadeen inay dhisaan qaynuun boqornimo iyo amar leh, Ku alla kii intii soddon maalmood ah wax weyddiista ilaah kale ama nin, adiga mooyaane, Boqorow, waa in lagu rido bohosha libaaxyada. Haddaba, Boqorow, amarka dhis, oo qorniinka saxeex si uusan u beddelmin, sida sharciga reer Maaday iyo reer Faaris uusan u beddelmin oo kale. Sidaas daraaddeed Boqor Daariyus waa saxeexay qorniinkii iyo amarkii. 10 Daanyeelna markuu ogaaday in qorniinkii la saxeexay ayuu gurigiisii galay, haddaba daaqadihii qolkiisa oo xagga Yeruusaalem u jeeday way furnaayeen, oo saddex jeer buu maalintiiba jilbo joogsan jiray oo tukan jiray, oo Ilaahiis ku mahadnaqi jiray, siduu hore u yeeli jiray. 11 Markaasay nimankii isu soo shireen, oo waxay heleen Daanyeel oo wax weyddiisanaya oo baryaya Ilaahiis. 12 Markaasay u soo dhowaadeen, oo waxay boqorka hortiisii kaga hadlen wax ku saabsan amarkii boqorka, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Miyaadan saxeexin amar leh, Ku alla kii, intii soddon maalmood ah, wax weyddiista ilaah kale ama nin, adiga mooyaane, waa in lagu rido bohosha libaaxyada? Boqorkiina waa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Taasu waa run, sida sharciga reer Maaday iyo reer Faaris ku qoran oo aan beddelmi karin. 13 Markaasay jawaabeen oo waxay boqorkii hortiisa ka yidhaahdeen, Boqorow, Daanyeelkii ka mid ahaa kuwii Yahuudah laga soo dhacay, dan kama leh adiga iyo amarkii aad saxeexday toona, laakiinse saddex jeer buu maalin walba Ilaahiisa wax weyddiistaa. 14 Markaasaa boqorkii markuu hadalkaas maqlay ayuu aad uga xumaaday, oo isku dayay inuu Daanyeel samatabbixiyo; oo ilaa qorraxdu ka dhacday ayuu hawshoonayay inuu isaga badbaadiyo. 15 Markaasay nimankii giddigood boqorkii ku soo shireen, oo waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal ogow, Boqorow, inay sharci reer Maaday iyo reer Faaris tahay inaan la beddelin qaynuun ama amar uu boqorku dhiso. 16 Markaasaa boqorkii amray, oo Daanyeel waa la soo kexeeyey oo lagu dhex tuuray bohoshii libaaxyada. Boqorkiina waa la hadlay Daanyeel, oo ku yidhi, Ilaahaaga aad had iyo goorba u adeegto ayaa ku samatabbixin doona. 17 Markaasaa dhagax la keenay, oo bohoshii afkeedii la saaray; oo boqorkii baa ku shaabadeeyey shaabaddiisii, iyo shaabaddii saraakiishiisa, inaan waxba laga beddelin xaaladda Daanyeel. 18 Dabadeedna boqorkii baa gurigiisii tegey, oo habeenkaas wuu soomanaa: alaabtii muusikadana looma keenin, hurdadiina waa ka duushay. 19 Boqorkii intuu aroor hore kacay ayuu degdeg u tegey bohoshii libaaxyada. 20 Oo markuu u soo dhowaaday bohoshii Daanyeel ku jiray ayuu si weyn u ooyay; markaasa boqorkii hadlay oo Daanyeel ku yidhi, Daanyeelow, Ilaaha nool midiidinkiisow, Ilaahaaga aad had iyo goor u adeegtaa ma awoodi karaa inuu libaaxyada kaa samatabbixiyo? 21 Markaasaa Daanyeel boqorkii ku yidhi, Boqorow, weligaaba noolow. 22 Ilaahay malaa'igtiisii buu soo diray, oo waxay xidhay libaaxyada afkoodii, oo waxba ima ay yeelin; waayo, wuxuu arkay inaanan xaq qabin; xaggaagana, Boqorow, waxba kuma aanan yeelin. 23 Dabadeedna boqorkii aad iyo aad buu u farxay, oo wuxuu ku amray in Daanyeel bohosha laga soo bixiyo. Sidaasaana Daanyeel bohoshii looga soo bixiyey, korkiisiina innaba waxyeello lagama helin, maxaa yeelay, Ilaahiis buu isku halleeyey. 24 Dabadeedna boqorkii baa amar bixiyey oo waxaa la keenay nimankii Daanyeel dacweeyey, oo bohoshii libaaxyada ayaa lagu dhex tuuray, iyagii iyo carruurtoodii iyo naagahoodiiba; markaasaa libaaxyadii qabsadeen intayan bohoshii salkeeda soo gaadhin, lafahoodii oo dhanna way burbursadeen.

25 Markaasaa boqorkii Daariyus warqado u qoray dadyowgii, iyo quruumihii, iyo kuwii kala afka ahaa oo dhan, oo dhulka oo dhan degganaa; oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Nabadu ha idinku badato. 26 Waxaan amar ku bixinayaa in dadka dowladnimada boqortooyadayda oo dhan ay ku hor gariiraan oo ka cabsadaan Ilaaha Daanyeel; waayo, isagu waa Ilaaha nool, oo weligiis jiraya, boqortooyadiisuna waa mid aan la baabbi'in karayn, dowladnimadiisuna way jiri doontaa ilaa ugudambaysta. 27 Isagu wax waa samatabbixiyaa oo badbaadiyaa, samada iyo dhulkana wuxuu ku sameeyaa calaamado iyo yaabab, waana kii Daanyeel ka samatabbixiyey xooggii libaaxyada. 28 Sidaasuu Daanyeelkanu ugu barwaaqoobay boqornimadii Daariyus, iyo boqornimadii Kuuroskii reer Faaris.

Daniel in the Den of Lions

[a]It pleased Darius(A) to appoint 120 satraps(B) to rule throughout the kingdom, with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel.(C) The satraps were made accountable(D) to them so that the king might not suffer loss. Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.(E) At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges(F) against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”(G)

So these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said: “May King Darius live forever!(H) The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors(I) have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den.(J) Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”(K) So King Darius put the decree in writing.

10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward(L) Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees(M) and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.(N) 11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help.(O) 12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”

The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”(P)

13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah,(Q) pays no attention(R) to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” 14 When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed;(S) he was determined to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him.

15 Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.”(T)

16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den.(U) The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue(V) you!”

17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed(W) it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating(X) and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.(Y)

19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”(Z)

21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever!(AA) 22 My God sent his angel,(AB) and he shut the mouths of the lions.(AC) They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight.(AD) Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”

23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound(AE) was found on him, because he had trusted(AF) in his God.

24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den,(AG) along with their wives and children.(AH) And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.(AI)

25 Then King Darius wrote to all the nations and peoples of every language(AJ) in all the earth:

“May you prosper greatly!(AK)

26 “I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence(AL) the God of Daniel.(AM)

“For he is the living God(AN)
    and he endures forever;(AO)
his kingdom will not be destroyed,
    his dominion will never end.(AP)
27 He rescues and he saves;(AQ)
    he performs signs and wonders(AR)
    in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel
    from the power of the lions.”(AS)

28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus[b](AT) the Persian.(AU)
