Daniel 6

O rei Dario decidiu dividir seu reino em cento e vinte províncias, escolhendo um governador para cada uma.

PARECIÓ bien á Darío constituir sobre el reino ciento veinte gobernadores, que estuviesen en todo el reino.

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

It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;

Esses governadores tinham de prestar contas a três ministros — um dos quais era Daniel — para que o reino fosse bem governado.

Y sobre ellos tres presidentes, de los cuales Daniel era el uno, á quienes estos gobernadores diesen cuenta, porque el rey no recibiese daño.

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.

and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.

Em pouco tempo, Daniel mostrou que era mais capaz que todos os outros ministros e governadores. Ele era mais inteligente e sábio, por isso o rei pensava em tornar Daniel o primeiro-ministro.

Pero el mismo Daniel era superior á estos gobernadores y presidentes, porque había en él más abundancia de espíritu: y el rey pensaba de ponerlo sobre todo el reino.

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.

Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

Com isso, os outros ministros e governadores ficaram cheios de inveja. Começaram a procurar alguma coisa do que acusar Daniel, um roubo ou desonestidade, mas não acharam nada. Daniel era muito fiel e honesto no seu trabalho. Não puderam achar nele falta alguma, pois ele era fiel; ninguém podia acusá-lo diante do rei.

Entonces los presidentes y gobernadores buscaban ocasiones contra Daniel por parte del reino; mas no podían hallar alguna ocasión ó falta, porque él era fiel, y ningún vicio ni falta fué en él hallado.

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.

Then the presidents and the local governors sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. There wasn’t any error or fault found in him.

Assim, chegaram à conclusão de que não encontrariam acusação contra Daniel a menos que fosse algo relacionado com a lei do Deus dele!

Entonces dijeron aquellos hombres: No hallaremos contra este Daniel ocasión alguna, si no la hallamos contra él en la ley de su Dios.

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.

Then these men said, “We won’t find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”

Assim, os ministros e governadores se reuniram, foram se encontrar com o rei e disseram: “Ó rei Dario, nós desejamos ao senhor uma vida longa e feliz!

Entonces estos gobernadores y presidentes se juntaron delante del rey, y le dijeron así: Rey Darío, para siempre vive:

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

Then these presidents and local governors assembled together to the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever!

Nós, os ministros, governadores, conselheiros e oficiais, decidimos unanimemente sugerir que o senhor crie uma lei que não possa ser mudada de jeito algum. Essa lei diz que, durante trinta dias, qualquer pessoa que fizer um pedido ao seu deus, ou a outro homem, fora o senhor, ó rei, será jogada na cova dos leões.

Todos los presidentes del reino, magistrados, gobernadores, grandes, y capitanes, han acordado por consejo promulgar un real edicto, y confirmarlo, que cualquiera que demandare petición de cualquier dios ú hombre en el espacio de treinta días, sino de ti, oh rey, sea echado en el foso de los leones.

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.

All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

Agora, ó rei, nós pedimos que o senhor assine essa lei, para que ela não possa ser mudada, conforme a lei dos medos e persas. As leis assinadas pelos reis nunca podem ser revogadas”.

Ahora, oh rey, confirma el edicto, y firma la escritura, para que no se pueda mudar, conforme á la ley de Media y de Persia, la cual no se revoca.

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.

Now, 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.”

E o rei Dario assinou a lei.

Firmó pues el rey Darío la escritura y el edicto.

Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Therefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Mas Daniel, apesar de saber que o rei havia assinado a lei, foi para casa e, como de costume, se ajoelhou para orar, no seu quarto. Esse quarto ficava no segundo andar, com as janelas abertas na direção de Jerusalém. Ali, Daniel orava ajoelhado, três vezes por dia, dando graças ao seu Deus.

Y Daniel, cuando supo que la escritura estaba firmada, entróse en su casa, y abiertas las ventanas de su cámara que estaban hacia Jerusalem, hincábase de rodillas tres veces al día, y oraba, y confesaba delante de su Dios, como lo solía hacer antes.

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.

When 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.

Então os ministros e governadores foram juntos à casa de Daniel. Lá encontraram Daniel orando, pedindo a ajuda ao seu Deus.

Entonces se juntaron aquellos hombres, y hallaron á Daniel orando y rogando delante de su Dios.

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

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

Correram de volta ao palácio e disseram ao rei: “Majestade, o senhor não assinou uma lei que proíbe qualquer pedido a qualquer deus ou homem — a não ser ao rei — durante trinta dias? E quem desobedecesse a essa lei seria jogado na cova dos leões?” “Sim”, respondeu o rei. “É uma lei que não pode ser mudada, assinada pelo rei da Média e da Pérsia”.

Llegáronse luego, y hablaron delante del rey acerca del edicto real: ¿No has confirmado edicto que cualquiera que pidiere á cualquier dios ú hombre en el espacio de treinta días, excepto á ti, oh rey, fuese echado en el foso de los leones? Respondió el rey y dijo: Verdad es, conforme á la ley de Media y de Persia, la cual no se abroga.

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.

Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree: “Haven’t you signed a decree that every man who makes a 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, “This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter.”

Então eles disseram ao rei: “Daniel, esse exilado judeu, não está dando a menor importância à lei, nem ao senhor, ó rei. Ele continua orando ao Deus dele, três vezes por dia”.

Entonces respondieron y dijeron delante del rey: Daniel que es de los hijos de la cautividad de los Judíos, no ha hecho cuenta de ti, oh rey, ni del edicto que confirmaste; antes tres veces al día hace su petición.

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.

Then they answered 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.”

Quando o rei ouviu isso, ficou muito contrariado consigo mesmo por ter assinado a tal lei e decidiu fazer todo o possível para salvar Daniel. Por isso, passou o resto do dia tentando encontrar uma maneira de salvar Daniel.

El rey entonces, oyendo el negocio, pesóle en gran manera, y sobre Daniel puso cuidado para librarlo; y hasta puestas del sol trabajó para librarle.

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.

Then 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.

À noite, os homens voltaram juntos ao palácio e insistiram com o rei. “Lembre, ó rei, é costume do nosso povo: Uma lei assinada pelo rei não pode ser mudada”.

Empero aquellos hombres se reunieron cerca del rey, y dijeron al rey: Sepas, oh rey, que es ley de Media y de Persia, que ningún decreto ú ordenanza que el rey confirmare pueda mudarse.

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.

Then 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.”

Afinal, o rei assinou a ordem para prenderem Daniel, que, assim, foi levado até a cova dos leões. Lá, o rei disse a Daniel: “Eu espero que o seu Deus, a quem você serve e adora continuamente, o salve dos leões”. Então Daniel foi jogado na cova.

Entonces el rey mandó, y trajeron á Daniel, y echáronle en el foso de los leones. Y hablando el rey dijo á Daniel: El Dios tuyo, á quien tú continuamente sirves, él te libre.

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.

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”

Uma pedra foi colocada na entrada da cova, e o rei marcou a pedra com o seu anel e com o selo do reino, para que a decisão sobre Daniel não se modificasse.

Y fué traída una piedra, y puesta sobre la puerta del foso, la cual selló el rey con su anillo, y con el anillo de sus príncipes, porque el acuerdo acerca de Daniel no se mudase.

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.

A 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.

Depois disso, o rei voltou ao palácio. Perdeu o apetite e foi deitar sem comer. Não quis se divertir ouvindo música, como de costume; perdeu o sono e ficou acordado toda a noite.

Fuése luego el rey á su palacio, y acostóse ayuno; ni instrumentos de música fueron traídos delante de él, y se le fué el sueño.

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.

Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

Bem cedinho, o rei se levantou e correu à cova dos leões

El rey, por tanto, se levantó muy de mañana, y fué apriesa al foso de los leones:

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

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

e, quando ia se aproximando da cova, cheio de tristeza, gritou: “Daniel, servo do Deus Vivo, será que o seu Deus, a quem você adora, foi capaz de salvá-lo dos leões?”

Y llegándose cerca del foso llamó á voces á Daniel con voz triste: y hablando el rey dijo á Daniel: Daniel, siervo del Dios viviente, el Dios tuyo, á quien tú continuamente sirves ¿te ha podido librar de los leones?

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?

When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled 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?”

Daniel respondeu: “Ó rei, eu lhe desejo uma vida longa e feliz!”

Entonces habló Daniel con el rey: oh rey, para siempre vive.

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

Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever!

“O meu Deus mandou o seu anjo para fechar as bocas dos leões. Eles não me tocaram! Isso porque eu sou inocente diante de Deus e do senhor, ó rei; eu não cometi crime algum”.

El Dios mío envió su ángel, el cual cerró la boca de los leones, para que no me hiciesen mal: porque delante de él se halló en mí justicia: y aun delante de ti, oh rey, yo no he hecho lo que no debiese.

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.

My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me, because innocence was found in me before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”

O rei ficou muito alegre! Mandou que tirassem Daniel da cova. Quando o tiraram da cova, viram que não havia o menor arranhão nele, porque ele tinha confiado no seu Deus.

Entonces se alegró el rey en gran manera á causa de él, y mandó sacar á Daniel del foso: y fué Daniel sacado del foso, y ninguna lesión se halló en él, porque creyó en su Dios.

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.

Then the king was exceedingly 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.

Então o rei Dario deu uma nova ordem, para trazerem os homens que com maldade haviam acusado Daniel. Eles e suas famílias foram jogados na cova dos leões. Antes que chegassem ao fundo da cova, os leões os atacaram e os despedaçaram.

Y mandándolo el rey fueron traídos aquellos hombres que habían acusado á Daniel, y fueron echados en el foso de los leones, ellos, sus hijos, y sus mujeres; y aun no habían llegado al suelo del foso, cuando los leones se apoderaron de ellos, y quebrantaron todos sus huesos.

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.

The 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.

Depois de tudo isso, o rei Dario escreveu outra mensagem, que foi anunciada aos homens de todas as nações, povos e línguas de todo o seu reino. “Paz para todos!

Entonces el rey Darío escribió á todos los pueblos, naciones, y lenguas, que habitan en toda la tierra: Paz os sea multiplicada:

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

Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages who dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you.

“Eu decreto que todos, em todo o meu reino, temam e respeitem o Deus de Daniel. “Pois ele é o Deus vivo, o Deus que nunca muda. O seu reino nunca será destruído e o seu poder nunca acabará.

De parte mía es puesta ordenanza, que en todo el señorío de mi reino todos teman y tiemblen de la presencia del Dios de Daniel: porque él es el Dios viviente y permanente por todos los siglos, y su reino tal que no será deshecho, y su señorío hasta el fin.

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.

“I 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 is that which will not be destroyed. His dominion will be even to the end.

Ele liberta e salva o seu povo. Ele faz grandes milagres e maravilhas nos céus e na terra. Foi ele quem livrou Daniel do poder dos leões”.

Que salva y libra, y hace señales y maravillas en el cielo y en la tierra; el cual libró á Daniel del poder de los leones.

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.

He delivers and rescues. He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”

Assim, Daniel continuou sendo uma autoridade importante durante os reinados de Dario e de Ciro, o persa.

Y este Daniel fué prosperado durante el reinado de Darío, y durante el reinado de Ciro, Persa.

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

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