daniel 6:1-28
6 dara ne apne poore raj vich 120 soobedara nu niyukt karan da faisla keeta.+
2 ohna utte tinn uch adhikariya nu thehraya gaya atey daniel+ ohna tinna vicho ik si. soobedar+ ohna nu har gall di jaankari dinde san taaki raje nu kise tarha da nuksan na hove.
3 same de beetan naal daniel ne dikhaya ki oh doosre uch adhikariya atey soobedara nalo ziada kabal atey syaana si+ atey raje ne os nu apne poore raj utte adhikar den da faisla keeta.
4 os same uch adhikari atey soobedar daniel utte raj de kamm-kaaj sambandhi dosh laun da kaaran labh rahe san, par ohna nu os utte dosh laun da koi kaaran nahi labha atey na hi os vich koi burayi nazar aayi kyoki oh bharosemand si. nale oh laparvah ja beimaan nahi si.
5 fir ohna aadmiya ne keha: “sanu daniel utte kise vi gall vich dosh laun da koi kaaran nahi labhega. sanu os vich kise ajehi gall vich dosh labhna chaheeda hai jo os de parmeshwar di bhagti naal sambandhit hove.”+
6 is layi eh uch adhikari atey soobedar ikatthe ho ke raje kol gaye atey ohna ne os nu keha: “he maharaj dara, tu yugo-yug jeeunda rahe.
7 raj de sare uch adhikariya, nigrana, soobedara, uch shahi afsara atey rajpala ne aapas vich salah keeti hai ki ik shahi farmaan jaari kar ke pabandi laayi jave ki koi vi 30 dina tak tere to ilava kise hor devi-devte ja aadmi nu faryaad na kare. he maharaj, jehrra is tarha karega, os nu shera de ghurne* vich sutt ditta jave.+
8 hun he maharaj, tu ik farmaan ’te dastkhat kar ke is nu jaari kar+ taaki is nu badlya na ja sake kyoki madi-farsi kanoon nu radd nahi keeta ja sakda.”+
9 is layi raje ne farmaan ’te dastkhat kar ditte atey pabandi la ditti.
10 par jive hi daniel nu pata lagga ki os farmaan ’te dastkhat ho gaye san, taa oh apne ghar gaya. os ne chubare vich ja ke bari kholi jo yarushlam val nu khulldi si+ atey din vich tinn vaar gode tek ke parmeshwar nu prarthna keeti atey os di vadiayi keeti, jive oh hamesha karda hunda si.
11 ose vakat oh aadmi uthe aa dhamke atey ohna ne daniel nu parmeshwar agge meher layi benti atey tarle-minnta karde hoye dekhya.
12 is layi oh raje kol gaye atey os nu pabandi de shahi farmaan bare yaad karaya: “he maharaj, kee tu pabandi de farmaan ’te dastkhat nahi keete san ki je koi 30 dina tak tere to ilava kise hor devi-devte ja aadmi nu faryaad karega, taa os nu shera de ghurne vich sutt ditta javega?” raje ne javab ditta: “ha, madi-farsi kanoon de mutabak hi eh hukam jaari keeta gaya si atey is nu radd nahi keeta ja sakda.”+
13 ohna ne ikdam raje nu keha: “he maharaj, daniel, jo yahudah de gulama vicho hai,+ ne tera aadar nahi keeta hai atey na hi os nu tere pabandi de farmaan di koi parvah hai jis ’te tu dastkhat keete san. oh din vich tinn vaar apne parmeshwar nu prarthna karda hai.”+
14 jive hi raje ne eh gall suni, taa oh bahut dukhi hoya atey oh daniel nu bachaun da raah labhan lagga atey os ne sooraj dhalan tak daniel nu bachaun di har koshish keeti.
15 aakharkar oh aadmi ikatthe ho ke raje kol gaye atey os nu keha: “he maharaj, yaad rakh ki madi-farsi kanoon mutabak raje duaara laayi gayi kise vi pabandi ja farmaan nu badlya nahi ja sakda.”+
16 is layi raje ne hukam ditta atey ohna ne daniel nu lya ke shera de ghurne vich sutt ditta.+ raje ne daniel nu keha: “jis parmeshwar di tu hamesha bhagti karda hai, ohi tainu bachaega.”
17 fir ik pathar lya ke ghurne de muh ’te rakh ditta gaya atey raje ne apni muhar vali angoothi atey apne adhikariya di muhar vali angoothi naal pathar utte muhar la ditti taaki daniel bare keeta gaya faisla badlya na ja sake.
18 fir raja apne mehel vich chala gaya. os ne raat nu na taa kujh khadha-peeta atey na hi koi mann-parchava keeta* atey na hi os nu sari raat neend aayi.*
19 aakharkar saver hundya hi raja utthya atey chheti hi shera de ghurne kol gaya.
20 ghurne de nerre pahunch ke dukhi avaaz vich raje ne daniel nu pukarya. raje ne os nu puchhya: “he daniel, jeeunde parmeshwar de sevak, jis parmeshwar di tu hamesha bhagti karda hai, kee os ne tainu shera de panjya to bachaa lya hai?”
21 daniel ne ikdam raje nu javab ditta: “he maharaj, tu yugo-yug jeeunda rahe.
22 mere parmeshwar ne apna doot bhej ke shera de muh band kar ditte+ atey ohna ne mera kujh nahi vigarrya+ kyoki mai parmeshwar diya nazra vich bekasoor ha. he maharaj, mai tere khilaf vi kujh nahi keeta.”
23 raja khushi naal fullya nahi samaya. os de hukam ’te daniel nu shera de ghurne vicho kadd lya gaya. daniel ne apne parmeshwar ’te bharosa rakhya si jis karke os da vaal vi vinga nahi hoya si.+
24 fir raje de hukam ’te ohna aadmiya nu liaanda gaya jinha ne daniel ’te ilzam laya si.* ohna nu ohna diya patniya atey puttra samet shera de ghurne vich sutt ditta gaya. oh aje ghurne vich hetha pahunche vi nahi san ki shera ne ohna nu daboch lya atey ohna diya sariya haddiya torr dittiya.+
25 fir raja dara ne sari dharti diya vakho-vakhriya kauma atey bhashava de lokaa nu eh sandesh bhejya:+ “tusi shanti naal vasso!
26 mai eh hukam dinda ha ki mere raj de har ilake vich lok daniel de parmeshwar to daran atey os da aadar karan+ kyoki oh jeeunda parmeshwar hai atey hamesha rehnda hai. os de raj nu kade vi khatam nahi keeta javega atey oh sadaa hakoomat karega.+
27 ohi bachaunda+ te chhudaunda hai. oh akash atey dharti ’te nishaniya atey karamata dikhaunda hai+ kyoki ose ne daniel nu shera de panjya to chhudaya hai.”
28 is layi raja dara de raj atey farsi raje khoras de raj vich daniel kamyab hoya.+
