  6:1 ¶
And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom; |
|
6:1 ¶
It pleased°°°
Darius°
to set°°
over°
the kingdom°
an hundred°
and twenty°
princes,°
which°
should be°°
over the whole°
kingdom;° |
|
6:2
and over them three governors, of whom one was, Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the king should not be troubled. |
|
6:2
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.°° |
|
6:3
And Daniel was over them, for [there was] an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom. |
|
6:3
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.° |
|
6:4 ¶
Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful. |
|
6:4 ¶
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.° |
|
6:5
And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God. |
|
6:5
Then°
said°°
these°
men,°
We shall not°
find°°
any°
occasion°
against°
this°
Daniel,°
except°
we find°°
[it] against°
him concerning the law°
of his Elah.° |
|
6:6
Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever. |
|
6:6
Then°
these°
presidents°
and princes°
assembled together°°
to°
the king,°
and said°°
thus°
unto him,°
King°
Darius,°
live°°
for ever.° |
|
6:7
All who preside over thy kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. |
|
6:7
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°
Elah°
or man°
for°
thirty°
days,°
save°
of°
thee,°
O king,°
he shall be cast°°
into the den°
of lions.° |
|
6:8
Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed. |
|
6:8
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.° |
|
6:9
Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written. |
|
6:9
Wherefore°°°
king°
Darius°
signed°°
the writing°
and the decree.° |
|
6:10 ¶
And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before. |
|
6:10 ¶
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 Elah,°
as°°°
he did°°°°
aforetime.°°° |
|
6:11
Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God. |
|
6:11
Then°
these°
men°
assembled,°°
and found°°
Daniel°
praying°°
and making supplication°°
before°
his Elah.° |
|
6:12
And they came and said to the king, O king, has thou not made a decree, that whatsoever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass. |
|
6:12
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°
Elah°
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.° |
|
6:13
Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah{gr.Judea}, has not submitted to thy decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God. |
|
6:13
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.° |
|
6:14
Then the king, when he heard the saying, was much grieved for Daniel and he greatly exerted himself for Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver him. |
|
6:14
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. |
|
6:15
Then those men said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that we must not change any decree of statue which the king shall make. |
|
6:15
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.°° |
|
6:16
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. |
|
6:16
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 Elah°
whom°
thou°
servest°°
continually,°
he°
will deliver°°
thee. |
|
6:17
And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed [it] with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel. |
|
6:17
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.° |
|
6:18 ¶
And the king departed to his house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they not molest Daniel. |
|
6:18 ¶
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.° |
|
6:19
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in hast to the den of lions. |
|
6:19
Then°
the king°
arose°°
very early°
in the morning,°°
and went°°
in haste°°
unto the den°
of°
lions.° |
|
6:20
And when he drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has thy God, whom thou servest continually, been able to deliver thee from the lion's mouth? |
|
6:20
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°
Elah,°
is thy Elah,°
whom°
thou°
servest°°
continually,°
able°°
to deliver°°
thee from°
the lions?° |
|
6:21
And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever. |
|
6:21
Then°
said°°
Daniel°
unto°
the king,°
O king,°
live°°
for ever.° |
|
6:22
My God has sent his angel, and stopped the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before thee, O king, I have committed no trespass. |
|
6:22
My Elah°
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.° |
|
6:23
Then the king was very glad for him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he believed in his God. |
|
6:23
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 Elah.° |
|
6:24 ¶
And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones. |
|
6:24 ¶
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.° |
|
6:25 ¶
Then king Darius wrote to all nations, tribes, [and] languages, who dwell in all the earth, [saying], Peace be multiplied to you. |
|
6:25 ¶
Then°
king°
Darius°
wrote°°
unto all°
people,°
nations,°
and languages,°
that°
dwell°°
in all°
the earth;°
Peace°
be multiplied°°
unto you. |
|
6:26
This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that [men] tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living and eternal God, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion is for ever. |
|
6:26
I°°
make°°°°
a decree,°
That°
in every°
dominion°
of my kingdom°
men tremble°°°
and fear°°
before°°
the Elah°
of°
Daniel:°
for°
he°
[is] the living°
Elah,°
and stedfast°
for ever,°
and his kingdom°
[that] which°
shall not°
be destroyed,°°
and his dominion°
[shall be even] unto°
the end.° |
|
6:27
He helps and delivers, and works signs and wonders in the heaven and on the earth, who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions. |
|
6:27
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.° |
|
6:28
And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. |
|
6:28
So this°
Daniel°
prospered°°
in the reign°
of Darius,°
and in the reign°
of Cyrus°
the Persian.° |
