1It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be in all the kingdom;
1 Dariyus di kaŋ a ga boori nga ma laabukoy zangu nda waranka daŋ nga mayra boŋ, kaŋ yaŋ ga goro a mayray laabo kulu boŋ.
2and over these, three presidents -- of whom Daniel was one -- to whom these satraps should render account, and that the king should suffer no loss.
2 I boŋ mo jine boro hinza go no, Daniyel binde no ga ti afo i ra, zama ngey din, laabukoy kayney ma lasaabu no ihinza din se, hasaraw ma si te bonkoono se.
3Now this Daniel surpassed the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to appoint him over the whole realm.
3 Daniyel din binde, a te beeray jine borey da koy kayney boŋ za kaŋ biya kaŋ ga boori ka bisa ikulu go a ra. Bonkoono mo saaware nga bine ra nga ma Daniyel daŋ nga mayra kulu boŋ.
4Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a pretext against Daniel with respect to the kingdom; but they could not find any pretext or fault; inasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
4 Saaya din jine borey da koy kayney din na kobay ceeci Daniyel gaa laabo mayray sanney ra, amma i mana hin ka du kobay wala taali, zama nga wo boro cimikoy no. I mana taali wala kobay kulu gar a do.
5Then said these men, We shall not find any pretext against this Daniel, unless we find [it] against him touching the law of his God.
5 Saaya din borey din ne: «Iri si du kobay Daniyel wo gaa bo, baa kayna, kala day da iri na kobay gar a Irikoyo asariya do haray.»
6Then these presidents and satraps came in a body to the king, and said thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever!
6 Saaya din jine borey da koy kayney din margu bonkoono do. I ne a se: «Ya Bonkoono Dariyus, ni aloomaro ma tonton!
7All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors 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, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
7 Mayra jine borey kulu, koy kayney da maga-nyaŋey da faadancey da mayraykoyey, na ngey saaware margu ka ne: I ma hin sanni fo sinji, koytaray wane, i ma gaabandi mo: i ma ne boro kulu kaŋ na hay fo ŋwaaray de-koy fo wala boro fo gaa ne ka koy jirbi waranza, da manti ni gaa no, ya Bonkoono, i ma bora koy jindaw muusu beerey guuso ra.
8Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.
8 Sohõ binde, ya Bonkoono, kala ni ma woodin kayandi. Ma kambe daŋ mo, zama i ma s'a barmay, Medancey da Persancey lordey boŋ, hin sanni kaŋ si tun no.»
9Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
9 Bonkoono Dariyus binde na kambe daŋ lordo da hantumo kulu gaa.
10And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and, his windows being open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
10 Saaya kaŋ Daniyel bay kaŋ i na kambe daŋ hantumo gaa, kal a furo nga windo ra, a fuwo finetarey mo goono ga fiti ka guna Urusalima haray. A ga sombu nga kangey boŋ sorro hinza zaari kulu ka te adduwa ka saabu nga Irikoyo jine, danga mate kaŋ a ga te za doŋ.
11But those men came in a body, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
11 Saaya din boro woodin yaŋ margu, i na Daniyel gar a goono ga adduwa ka ŋwaaray nga Irikoyo gaa.
12Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree: Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [anything] of any god or man within thirty days, except 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 may not be revoked.
12 Kal i maan bonkoono do, ka salaŋ a lordo boŋ. I ne: «Manti ni na ni kambe daŋ lordi fo boŋ ka ne: Boro kulu kaŋ konda ŋwaarayyaŋ de-koy fo wala boro fo do kala jirbi waranza, da manti ni gaa no, ya Bonkoono, i ga bora jindaw muusu beerey guuso ra?» Bonkoono tu ka ne: «Woodin cimi no, Medancey da Persancey asariya boŋ, kaŋ si barmay.»
13Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who 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.
13 Noodin binde i tu bonkoono jine ka ne: «Daniyel, nga kaŋ go Yahuda tamtaray izey do haray, a mana laakal da nin bo, ya Bonkoono, wala baa lordo kaŋ ni na kambe daŋ a gaa, amma a go ga nga ŋwaara te sorro hinza zaari kulu ra.»
14Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore distressed thereby, and set his heart on Daniel to save him; and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
14 Saaya din kaŋ bonkoono maa sanno din, a bina sara gumo. A na nga anniya daŋ Daniyel faabayaŋ gaa. A na himma daŋ da anniya nga m'a kaa kambe kala wayna kaŋ.
15Then these men came in a body 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.
15 A gaa no, borey din margu bonkoono do ka ne a se: «Ya Bonkoono, ni ma bay kaŋ Medancey da Persancey asariya no. I si lordo wala ciiti kaŋ bonkoono sinji din barmay.»
16Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast [him] into the den of lions. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will save thee.
16 Saaya din no bonkoono na lordi te. I kande Daniyel k'a jindaw muusu beerey guuso ra. Amma bonkoono jin ka salaŋ Daniyel se ka ne: «Ni Irikoyo kaŋ se ni ga may waati kulu din, nga no ga ni faaba.»
17And 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 nobles, that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
17 I kande tondi ka jisi guuso meyo boŋ. Bonkoono mo n'a kawaatimandi nda nga boŋ kawaatimo, da nga koy kayney kawaatimey, zama i ma si hay kulu barmay Daniyel sanno ra.
18Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were concubines brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
18 Waato din gaa bonkoono koy nga faada ra. A kani, a mana hay kulu ŋwa, i mana kande gaani hari a jine, jirbo mo zuru ka daray a se.
19Then the king arose with the light at break of day, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
19 Kala bonkoono tun za susubay nda hinay. A koy muusey guuso do da cahãyaŋ.
20And when he came near unto the den, he cried with a mournful voice unto Daniel: the king spoke and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God whom thou servest continually been able to save thee from the lions?
20 Waato kaŋ a maan guuso, nango kaŋ Daniyel go, a na jinde tunandi nda hẽeni. Bonkoono salaŋ ka ne Daniyel se: «Ya Daniyel, Irikoy fundikoono tamo! D'a ta day, ni Irikoyo, kaŋ se ni goono ga may han kulu, a hin ka ni faaba muusu beerey me ra?»
21Then Daniel spoke unto the king, O king, live for ever!
21 Waato din gaa Daniyel ne bonkoono se: «Ya Bonkoono, ni aloomaro ma tonton!
22My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
22 Ay Irikoyo na nga malayka donton, a na muusey me daabu, i man'ay maray nda doori fo, za kaŋ a jine taali kulu si ay gaa. Ni do mo, ya Bonkoono, ay mana taali fo te.»
23Thereupon 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 believed in his God.
23 Saaya din no bonkoono farhã gumo. A lordi ka ne i ma Daniyel sambu ka kaa guuso ra. I binde na Daniyel sambu ka kaa guuso ra, i mana doori kulu gar a gaa, zama a de nga Irikoyo gaa.
24And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces ere they came to the bottom of the den.
24 Bonkoono mo lordi ka ne i ma kande borey din kaŋ na Daniyel kalima, i m'i jindaw muusu beerey guuso ra, ngey nda ngey izey d'i wandey. Muusey mo n'i candi k'i biriyey kulu ceeri-ceeri, baa hal i ga to guuso ganda gaa.
25Then king Darius wrote unto all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
25 Waato din gaa bonkoono Dariyus hantum ka ne borey da deeney da dumey kulu se, sanda ndunnya gorokoy kulu nooya: «Baani ma yulwa araŋ se.
26I 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 steadfast for ever, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
26 Ay goono ga salaŋ ay mayray nangey kulu ra, ka ne kaŋ borey gaahamey ma jijiri, i ma humburu Daniyel Irikoyo. Zama nga no ga ti Irikoy fundikoono, Tabbatante mo no hal abada. A mayra mo, dumi kaŋ si halaci no, A koytara hino ga goro hala bananta.
27He saveth and delivereth, and he worketh signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth: who hath saved Daniel from the power of the lions.
27 A ga kaa kambe, a ga faaba te, A ga alaamayaŋ da dambara hariyaŋ te, Beena ra da ganda ra. Nga no ka Daniyel faaba muusu beerey futa gaa.»
28And this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
28 Yaadin binde no, Daniyel din te albarka nd'a Dariyus zamana ra, da Sirus Persanca zamana ra.
