1It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole 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 them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king should have no damage.
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.
3Then 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.
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 occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, because 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 these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning 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 assembled together to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live forever.
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 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.
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 not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.
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.
10When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
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.
11Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and 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: Haven’t you signed an 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 doesn’t alter.
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 answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn’t respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes 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 very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue 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 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.
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. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.
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.»
17A stone was brought, and laid on 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.
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 instruments of music 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 very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
19 Kala bonkoono tun za susubay nda hinay. A koy muusey guuso do da cahãyaŋ.
20When 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?
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 said to the king, O king, live forever.
21 Waato din gaa Daniyel ne bonkoono se: «Ya Bonkoono, ni aloomaro ma tonton!
22My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, 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.»
23Then 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 kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted 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.
24The 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 mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before 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 to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to 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 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 that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even to 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 delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered 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.»
28So 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.
