但以理书 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
但以理在狮子坑
6 大流士决定设立一百二十个总督治理全国。 2 总督之上，设三个总长，以维护王的统治，但以理是其中之一。 3 因为但以理有非凡的心智，远超过其他总长和总督，王便考虑让他治理全国。 4 于是，其他总长和总督想在但以理的政务中找把柄控告他，却找不到任何把柄或过失，因为他诚实可靠，毫无过失。 5 最后他们说：“除非我们从但以理上帝的律法下手，否则找不到指控他的把柄。”
6 于是，这些总长和总督齐来见王，说：“愿大流士王万岁！ 7 所有总长、行政官、总督、谋士和省长都认为王应该下一道禁令，三十天内，任何人不得向王以外的神明或人祷告，违者必被扔进狮子坑。 8 王啊，求你颁布、签署这道禁令，使之不可更改，正如玛代人和波斯人的律令是不可更改的。” 9 于是大流士王签署了这道禁令。
10 但以理知道王签署禁令后，就回到家里。他楼上的窗户朝向耶路撒冷，他像往常一样每日三次跪下向上帝祷告、感恩。 11 那些官员一同来了，发现但以理向他的上帝祷告、祈求， 12 便去见王，提及王的禁令，说：“王啊，你不是签署禁令，三十天内，任何人不得向王以外的神明或人祷告，违者必被扔进狮子坑吗？”王说：“确有此事，按照玛代人和波斯人的律，这禁令不可更改。” 13 他们对王说：“王啊，被掳来的犹大人但以理不理会你和你的禁令，仍一日三次向他的上帝祈祷。” 14 王听了这些话，十分愁烦，一心想救但以理，直到日落都在筹划解救之道。 15 那些人齐来见王，说：“王啊，按照玛代人和波斯人的律，王颁布的禁令和律例是不可更改的。”
16 王便下令把但以理带来扔进狮子坑。他对但以理说：“愿你忠心事奉的上帝拯救你！” 17 坑口用大石封住，并加上王和大臣的封印，使惩办但以理的事不可更改。 18 王回宫后，整夜禁食，拒绝娱乐，无法入睡。
19 次日黎明，王起来匆忙赶往狮子坑， 20 到了坑边，凄声呼喊但以理：“永活上帝的仆人但以理啊，你忠心事奉的上帝有没有救你脱离狮子的口？” 21 但以理对王说：“愿王万岁！ 22 我的上帝差遣天使封住了狮子的口，不让它们伤害我，因为我在上帝面前是清白的。王啊，我在你面前也没有过错。” 23 王非常高兴，便命人把但以理从坑中拉上来。于是，但以理从坑中被拉了上来，他因为信靠他的上帝，身上毫无损伤。 24 王下令把那些恶意控告但以理的人及其儿女妻子都带来，扔进狮子坑。他们还没到坑底，狮子便扑上去，咬碎了他们的骨头。
25 后来，大流士王传谕境内的各族、各邦、各语种的人，说：“愿你们大享平安！ 26 我下令，我统治的国民都要敬畏但以理的上帝，
“因为祂是永活长存的上帝，
祂的国度永不灭亡，
祂的统治直到永远。
27 祂庇护、拯救，
在天上地下行神迹奇事，
救但以理脱离狮子的口。”
28 因此，在大流士和波斯人塞鲁士执政期间，但以理凡事亨通。
Daniel 6
Lexham English Bible
Daniel’s Integrity and His Entrapment by His Enemies
6 It pleased Darius,[a] and he set up one hundred and twenty satraps over the kingdom, that they were throughout the whole kingdom,[b] 2 and over them were three administrators, of whom Daniel was one, so that these satraps were giving account to them, and the king would not be suffering loss. 3 Then Daniel began distinguishing himself[c] above the administrators and the satraps because[d] an exceptional spirit was in him, and so the king planned to appoint him over the whole kingdom. 4 Then the other administrators and satraps began to seek[e] to find a pretext against Daniel in connection with the kingdom,[f] but they were not able to find any pretext and corruption[g] because[h] he was trustworthy, and no[i] negligence or corruption[j] could be found in him.[k] 5 Then these men said,[l] “We will not find any pretext[m] against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.”
6 So the administrators and the satraps conspired with respect to[n] the king and so they said to him, “Darius, O king, live forever![o] 7 All of the administrators of the kingdom, and the prefects, the satraps, the counselors and the governors took counsel and have agreed to establish an edict of the king and to enforce a decree that whoever[p] will seek a prayer from any god or human except from you for up to thirty days will be thrown into the lion pit.[q] 8 Now, O king, establish the edict and you must sign the document so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked.”
9 So[r] the king, Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.[s] 10 Now when[t] Daniel realized that the document was signed, he went to his house (now he had windows in his upper room that were open[u] toward Jerusalem), and three times daily[v] he knelt on his knees and prayed and gave praise before his God, just as[w] he had been doing previously.[x] 11 Then these men came as a group and they found Daniel praying and pleading for mercy before his God. 12 Then they approached and spoke with the king[y] concerning the edict of the king, “Did you not sign an edict[z] that any person who would seek anything from any God or human within thirty days except from you, O king, would be thrown into the lion pit?”[aa] The king answered and said, “The matter as you have just stated is certain according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked.”
God’s Miraculous Deliverance of Daniel Again
13 Then they responded[ab] and said before the king, “Daniel, who is from the exiles[ac] of Judah,[ad] is not paying any attention[ae] to you, O king, or to the decree that you have signed, and three times daily[af] he says his prayer.” 14 Then the king, when[ag] he heard that report,[ah] he was extremely distressed over it; and concerning Daniel[ai] he was determined[aj] to rescue him. And until the setting of the sun he was making every effort to deliver him. 15 Then these men came as a group to the king and said,[ak] “Recall, O king, that with respect to the law of[al] the Medes and Persians that any[am] decree or edict that the king establishes cannot be changed.”
16 Then the king gave the command, and Daniel was brought in and they threw him into the lion pit.[an] The king said[ao] to Daniel, “Your God, whom you serve faithfully,[ap] may he rescue you!” 17 And a[aq] stone was brought and it was put on the entrance of the pit, and the king sealed it with his signet ring and with the signet rings of his lords,[ar] so that nothing would be changed concerning Daniel. 18 Then the king went to his palace and spent the night in fasting, and no food was brought in before him and his sleep fled from him.
19 Then the king got up at daybreak, at first light, and he went in haste[as] to the lion pit.[at] 20 And when he came near[au] to the pit, he cried out to Daniel with a distressed voice, and the king spoke[av] and said to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God whom you serve faithfully, was he able to rescue you from the lions?” 21 Then Daniel spoke to[aw] the king, “O king, live forever![ax] 22 My God sent his angel and he shut the mouth of the lions and they did not[ay] hurt me, because[az] before him I was found[ba] blameless, and also before you, O king, I have not done any wrong.”
23 Then the king was exceedingly glad over it[bb] and commanded that Daniel be lifted up from the pit; and there was not any wound found on him, because he had trusted in his God. 24 The king then commanded, and these men were brought who had accused Daniel,[bc] and they threw them and their children and their wives into the lion pit,[bd] and they had not reached the floor of the pit before[be] the lions had overpowered them and they had crushed all of their bones.
The King Praises the God of Daniel and Daniel Prospers
25 Then Darius the king wrote to all the people, the nations, and the languages living in the whole earth, “May your prosperity become great! 26 I make a decree[bf] that in all the dominion of my kingdom people will be trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God and endures forever[bg] and his[bh] kingdom is one that will not be destroyed and his dominion has no end.[bi] 27 He is rescuing, delivering, and working signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth, for he has rescued Daniel from the power[bj] of the lions.” 28 So this Daniel prospered during the kingdom of Darius and during the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian.

但以理书 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
但以理被立為監察司
6 大利烏按自己的心意，立了一百二十個總督，治理全國；（本節在《馬索拉文本》為6:2） 2 他又在這些總督之上，設立三位監察司（但以理是其中之一），監管總督的工作，免得王受虧損。 3 因為但以理裡面有美好的靈性，所以各方面都比其他的監察司和總督優勝；王有意立他治理全國。
引起同僚的嫉妒與謀害
4 於是這些監察司和總督在但以理治國的事上，尋找把柄控告他，只是不能找到任何的把柄和過失，因為他忠心可靠，他們找不到他的任何錯誤和過失。 5 那些人就說：“如果我們要控告這但以理，就只有在他 神的律法中去找把柄。” 6 這些監察司和總督就相約前來見王，對他說：“願大利烏王萬歲！ 7 國中所有的監察司、總監、總督、謀臣和省長，一同商議，請王立一條法例，實施一道禁令：無論何人，在三十天內，王啊！除了向你以外，若向任何神或任何人求甚麼，就必扔在獅子坑中。 8 王啊！現在求你立這禁令，簽署這份文告，使禁令不能更改。按照瑪代和波斯的律法，這樣的禁令是不能廢除的。” 9 於是大利烏王簽署了這禁令文告。
但以理照常禱告
10 但以理知道這文告簽署了以後，就上到自己家裡樓頂上的房間，這房間的窗戶朝向耶路撒冷開著；他一日三次雙膝跪下，在他的 神面前禱告稱謝，像往日一樣。 11 那些人相約前來，看見但以理在他的 神面前祈禱懇求。 12 他們就來到王面前，提起王的禁令，說：“你豈不是簽署了禁令，無論何人，在三十天內，王啊！除了向你以外，若向任何神或任何人求甚麼，就必扔在獅子坑中？”王回答說：“確有此事。按照瑪代和波斯的律法，這樣的禁令是不能廢除的。” 13 於是他們對王說：“王啊，在被擄的猶大人中的但以理不理會你的命令，也不理會你簽署的禁令，竟仍一日三次向他的 神祈求。” 14 王聽見了這話，就非常愁煩；他定意要搭救但以理，直到日落的時候，他還在設法營救但以理。 15 那些人就相約前來見王，對他說：“王啊，你該知道，根據瑪代和波斯的律法，王所立的禁令和法例，都是不能更改的。”
但以理被扔在獅子坑中
16 於是王下令，人就把但以理帶來，扔在獅子坑中。王對但以理說：“你常常事奉的 神，他必搭救你！” 17 有人搬了一塊石頭，放在坑口，王又蓋上自己的印鑒和眾大臣的印鑒，使懲辦但以理的事不得更改。 18 王回到宮裡，整夜沒有吃東西，也不要任何娛樂解悶，並且睡不著覺。
19 次日黎明，天一亮，王就起來，急忙到獅子坑那裡去。 20 他走近坑邊的時候，就用哀痛的聲音呼叫但以理，對但以理說：“永活 神的僕人但以理啊！你常常事奉的 神能搭救你脫離獅子嗎？”
但以理毫無損傷
21 但以理對王說：“願王萬歲！ 22 我的 神差遣了他的使者，封住獅子的口，使牠們沒有傷害我，因為我在 神面前是清白的；王啊！在你面前我也沒有作過任何錯事。” 23 王就非常高興，吩咐人把但以理從坑裡拉上來。於是但以理從坑裡被拉上來，他身上一點損傷也沒有，因為他信靠他的 神。
陷害但以理的人自食其果
24 王下令，人就把那些誣衊控告但以理的人，連同他們的妻子和兒女都一起帶來，扔在獅子坑中；他們還沒有下到坑底，獅子就抓住他們，把他們所有的骨頭都咬碎了。
王通令全國敬畏 神
25 後來大利烏王寫信給住在全地的各國、各族和說各種語言的人，說：“願你們大享平安！ 26 現在我下令，我所統治的全國人民都要在但以理的 神面前戰兢恐懼。
“他是永活的 神，
他永遠長存；
他的國度永不滅亡，
他的統治直到永遠。
27 他搭救人，拯救人；
他在天上地下施行神蹟奇事；
他搭救了但以理脫離獅子的爪。”
28 於是這但以理在大利烏作王的時候，和在波斯人古列作王的時候（本句或譯：“於是這但以理在大利烏〔即波斯人古列〕作王的時候”），事事亨通。
