主護但以理不為獅傷

19 次日黎明王就起來,急忙往獅子坑那裡去。 20 臨近坑邊,哀聲呼叫但以理,對但以理說:「永生神的僕人但以理啊,你所常侍奉的神能救你脫離獅子嗎?」 21 但以理對王說:「願王萬歲! 22 我的神差遣使者封住獅子的口,叫獅子不傷我,因我在神面前無辜,我在王面前也沒有行過虧損的事。」 23 王就甚喜樂,吩咐人將但以理從坑裡繫上來。於是但以理從坑裡被繫上來,身上毫無傷損,因為信靠他的神。

訟但以理者遭報見噬

24 王下令,人就把那些控告但以理的人連他們的妻子、兒女都帶來,扔在獅子坑中。他們還沒有到坑底,獅子就抓住[a]他們,咬碎他們的骨頭。

王諭全國敬畏神

25 那時大流士王傳旨,曉諭住在全地,各方、各國、各族的人說:「願你們大享平安! 26 現在我降旨曉諭我所統轄的全國人民,要在但以理的神面前戰兢恐懼。因為他是永遠長存的活神,他的國永不敗壞,他的權柄永存無極。 27 他護庇人,搭救人,在天上地下施行神蹟奇事,救了但以理脫離獅子的口。」

  1. 但以理書 6:24 「抓住」原文作「勝了」。

19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”(A)

21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever!(B) 22 My God sent his angel,(C) and he shut the mouths of the lions.(D) They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight.(E) Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”

23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound(F) was found on him, because he had trusted(G) in his God.

24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den,(H) along with their wives and children.(I) And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.(J)

25 Then King Darius wrote to all the nations and peoples of every language(K) in all the earth:

“May you prosper greatly!(L)

26 “I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence(M) the God of Daniel.(N)

“For he is the living God(O)
    and he endures forever;(P)
his kingdom will not be destroyed,
    his dominion will never end.(Q)
27 He rescues and he saves;(R)
    he performs signs and wonders(S)
    in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel
    from the power of the lions.”(T)
