Daniel 6

1. It pleased <8232 sh@phar > Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh > to set

<3966 m@<od >

over <5922 <al > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > an hundred <3969

ma>ah > and

twenty <6243 <esriyn > princes <0324 >achashdarpan >, which

<1768 diy >

should be over the whole <3606 kol > kingdom <4437 malkuw >;

2 And over <5924 <ella> > these <4481 min > three <8532 t@lath

> presidents

<5632 carek >; of whom Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > [was] first <2298

chad >: that

the princes <0324 >achashdarpan > might give <3052 y@hab >

accounts <2941

ta<am > unto them, and the king <4430 melek > should have <1934

hava> > no

<3809 la> > damage <5142 n@zaq >.

3 Then <0116 >edayin > this <1836 den > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >

was

preferred <5330 n@tsach > above <5922 <al > the presidents <5632

carek > and

princes <0324 >achashdarpan >, because an excellent <3493

yattiyr > spirit

<7308 ruwach > [was] in him; and the king <4430 melek > thought

<6246 <ashith

> to set <3966 m@<od > him over <5922 <al > the whole <3606 kol

> realm <4437

malkuw >.

4 Then <0116 >edayin > the presidents <5632 carek > and princes

<0324

>achashdarpan > sought <1158 ba<ah > to find <7912 sh@kach >

occasion <5931

<illah > against Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > concerning <6655 tsad >

the kingdom

<4437 malkuw >; but they could <3202 y@kel > find <7912 sh@kach

> none <3809

la> > occasion <5931 <illah > nor <3809 la> > fault <7844

sh@chath >;

forasmuch as he [was] faithful <0540 >aman >, neither <3809 la>

> was there

any <3606 kol > error <7960 shaluw > or fault <7844 sh@chath >

found <7912

sh@kach > in him.

5 Then <0116 >edayin > said <0560 >amar > these <0479 >illek >

men <1400

g@bar >, We shall not find <7912 sh@kach > any <3606 kol >

occasion <5931

<illah > against <5922 <al > this <1836 den > Daniel <1841

Daniye>l >, except

<3861 lawhen > we find <7912 sh@kach > [it] against him

concerning the law

<1882 dath > of his God <0426 >elahh >.

6. Then <0116 >edayin > these <0459 >illeyn > presidents <5632

carek > and

princes <0324 >achashdarpan > assembled <7284 r@gash > together

to the king

<4430 melek >, and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto him,

King <4430

melek > Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh >, live <2414 chataph > for ever

<5757 <Avviy

7 All <3606 kol > the presidents <5632 carek > of the kingdom

<4437 malkuw

>achashdarpan >, the

counsellors <1907 haddabar >, and the captains <6347 pechah >,

have consulted

<3272 y@<at > together to establish <6966 quwm > a royal <4430

melek >

statute <7010 q@yam >, and to make a firm <8631 t@qeph > decree

<0633 >ecar

<1159 ba<uw

for thirty

<8533 t@lathiyn > days <3118 yowm >, save <3861 lawhen > of thee,

O king

<4430 melek >, he shall be cast <7412 r@mah > into the den <1358

gob > of

lions <0744 >aryeh >.

8 Now <3705 k@<an >, O king <4430 melek >, establish <6966 quwm

<0633 >ecar >, and sign <7560 r@sham > the writing <3792 k@thab

not changed <8133 sh@na> >, according to the law <1882 dath > of

the Medes

<4076 Maday > and Persians <6540 Parac >, which <1768 diy >

altereth <5709

<ada> > not.

9 Wherefore king <4430 melek > Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh > signed

<7560 r@sham

10 Now <1768 diy > when <1768 diy > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >

knew <3046 y@da<

went <5954

<alal > into his house <1005 bayith >; and his windows <3551 kav

<6606 p@thach > in his chamber <5952 <alliyth > toward <5049

neged >

Jerusalem <3390 Y@ruwshalem (Chald) >, he kneeled <1289 b@rak >

upon his

knees <1291 berek > three <8532 t@lath > times <2166 z@man > a

day <3118 yowm

before <6925

qodam > his God <0426 >elahh >, as he did <5648 <abad >

aforetime.

11. Then <0116 >edayin > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar >

assembled

<7284 r@gash >, and found <7912 sh@kach > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l

<1156 b@<a> > and making supplication <2604 chanan > before

<6925 qodam > his

God <0426 >elahh >.

12 Then <0116 >edayin > they came <7127 q@reb > near <7127

q@reb >, and

spake <0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek >

concerning

<5922 <al > the king's <4430 melek > decree <0633 >ecar >; Hast

thou not

signed <7560 r@sham > a decree <0633 >ecar >, that every <3606

kol > man

<0606 >enash > that shall ask <1156 b@<a> > [a petition] of any

<3606 kol >

God <0426 >elahh > or man <0606 >enash > within <5705 <ad >

thirty <8533

t@lathiyn > days <3118 yowm >, save <3861 lawhen > of thee, O

king <4430

melek >, shall be cast <7412 r@mah > into the den <1358 gob > of

lions <0744

>aryeh >? The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said

<0560 >amar

according to the law

<1882 dath > of the Medes <4076 Maday > and Persians <6540 Parac

<1768 diy > altereth <5709 <ada> > not.

13 Then <0116 >edayin > answered <6032 <anah > they and said

<0560 >amar >

before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek >, That Daniel <1841

Daniye>l >,

which <1768 diy > [is] of the children <1123 ben > of the

captivity <1547

galuwth > of Judah <3061 Y@huwd >, regardeth not thee, O king

<4430 melek >,

nor the decree <0633 >ecar > that thou hast signed <7560 r@sham

his petition <1159 ba<uw > three <8532 t@lath > times <2166

z@man > a day

<3118 yowm >.

14 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek >, when <1768 diy

<8086 sh@ma< > [these] words <4406 millah >, was sore <7690

saggiy> >

displeased <0888 b@>esh > with himself, and set <7761 suwm >

[his] heart

<1079 bal > on <5922 <al > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > to deliver

<7804 sh@zab >

him: and he laboured <7712 sh@dar > till <5704 <ad > the going

<4606 me<al >

down <4606 me<al > of the sun <8122 shemesh > to deliver <5338

n@tsal > him.

15 Then <0116 >edayin > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar >

assembled

<7284 r@gash > unto the king <4430 melek >, and said <0560 >amar

king <4430 melek >, Know <3046 y@da< >, O king <4430 melek >,

that the law

<1882 dath > of the Medes <4076 Maday > and Persians <6540 Parac

no decree <0633 >ecar > nor statute <7010 q@yam > which <1768

diy > the king

<4430 melek > establisheth <6966 quwm > may be changed <8133

sh@na> >.

16 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > commanded <0560

>amar >, and

they brought <0858 >athah > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >, and cast

<7412 r@mah >

[him] into the den <1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh >. [Now

<0116 >edayin >]

the king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar

<1841 Daniye>l >, Thy God <0426 >elahh > whom <1768 diy > thou

servest <6399

p@lach > continually <8411 t@diyra> >, he will deliver <7804

sh@zab > thee.

17 And a stone <69> was brought <0858 >athah >, and laid <7760

suwm > upon

the mouth <6433 pum > of the den <1358 gob >; and the king <4430

melek >

sealed <2857 chatham > it with his own signet <5824 <izqa> >,

and with the

signet <5824 <izqa> > of his lords <7261 rabr@ban >; that the

purpose <6640

ts@buw > might not be changed <8133 sh@na> > concerning Daniel

<1841 Daniye>l

18. Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > went <0236

>azal > to his

palace <1965 heykal >, and passed the night <0956 buwth >

fasting <2908

t@vath >: neither <3809 la> > were instruments <1761 dachavah >

of musick

brought <5954 <alal > before <6925 qodam > him: and his sleep

<8139 sh@nah >

went <5075 n@dad > from him.

19 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > arose <6966 quwm

<8238 sh@pharphar > in the morning <5053 nogahh >, and went

<0236 >azal > in

haste <0927 b@hal > unto the den <1358 gob > of lions <0744

>aryeh >.

20 And when he came <7127 q@reb > to the den <1358 gob >, he

cried <2200

z@<iq > with a lamentable <6088 <atsab > voice <7032 qal > unto

Daniel <1841

Daniye>l >: [and] the king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > and

said <0560

>amar > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >, O Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >,

servant <5649

<abad > of the living <2417 chay > God <0426 >elahh >, is thy

God <0426

>elahh >, whom <1768 diy > thou servest <6399 p@lach >

continually <8411

t@diyra> >, able <3202 y@kel > to deliver <7804 sh@zab > thee

from the lions

<0744 >aryeh >?

21 Then <0116 >edayin > said <4449 m@lal > Daniel <1841

Daniye>l > unto the

king <4430 melek >, O king <4430 melek >, live <2414 chataph >

for ever <5957

<alam >.

22 My God <0426 >elahh > hath sent <7972 sh@lach > his angel

<4398 mal>ak >,

and hath shut <5463 c@gar > the lions <0744 >aryeh >' mouths

<6433 pum >,

that they have not hurt <2255 chabal > me: forasmuch as before

<6925 qodam >

him innocency <2136 zakuw > was found <7912 sh@kach > in me; and

also <0638

>aph > before <6925 qodam > thee, O king <4430 melek >, have I

done <5648

<abad > no <3809 la> > hurt <2248 chabuwlah >.

23 Then <0116 >edayin > was the king <4430 melek > exceeding

<7689 saggiy> >

glad <2868 t@>eb > for him, and commanded <0560 >amar > that

they should take

<5267 n@caq > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > up out of the den <1358

gob >. So

Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > was taken <5267 n@caq > up out of the

den <1358 gob

because <1768 diy > he believed <0540 >aman > in his God <0426

>elahh >.

24 And the king <4430 melek > commanded <0560 >amar >, and they

brought

<0858 >athah > those <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > which

<1768 diy > had

accused <7170 q@rats > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >, and they cast

<7412 r@mah >

[them] into the den <1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh >, them,

their children

<1123 ben >, and their wives <5389 nashiyn >; and the lions

<0744 >aryeh >

had the mastery <6981 Qowre> > of them, and brake <1855 d@qaq >

all <3606 kol

> their bones <1635 gerem > in pieces or ever <3809 la> > they

came <4291

m@ta> > at the bottom <0773 >ar<iyth > of the den <1358 gob >.

25. Then <0116 >edayin > king <4430 melek > Darius <1868

Dar@yavesh > wrote

<3790 k@thab > unto all <3606 kol > people <5972 <am >, nations

<0524 >ummah

all <3606 kol >

the earth <0772 >ara< >; Peace <8001 sh@lam > be multiplied

<7680 s@ga> >

unto you.

26 I make <7761 suwm > a decree <2942 t@<em >, That in every

<3606 kol >

dominion <7985 sholtan > of my kingdom <4437 malkuw > men

tremble <2112 zuwa<

> and fear <1763 d@chal > before the God <0426 >elahh > of

Daniel <1841

Daniye>l >: for he [is] the living <2417 chay > God <0426 >elahh

stedfast <7011 qayam > for ever <5957 <alam >, and his kingdom

<4437 malkuw >

[that] which <1768 diy > shall not be destroyed <2255 chabal >,

and his

dominion <7985 sholtan > [shall be even] unto the end <5491

cowph >.

27 He delivereth <7804 sh@zab > and rescueth <5338 n@tsal >,

and he worketh

<5648 <abad > signs <0852 >ath > and wonders <8540 t@mahh > in

heaven <8065

shamayin > and in earth <0772 >ara< >, who <1768 diy > hath

delivered <7804

sh@zab > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > from the power <3028 yad > of

the lions

<0744 >aryeh >.

28 So this <1836 den > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > prospered <6744

ts@lach > in

the reign <4437 malkuw > of Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh >, and in

the reign <4437

malkuw > of Cyrus <3567 Kowresh > the Persian <6523 parzel >.
