但以理在獅子坑
6 大流士決定設立一百二十個總督治理全國。 2 總督之上，設三個總長，以維護王的統治，但以理是其中之一。 3 因為但以理有非凡的心智，遠超過其他總長和總督，王便考慮讓他治理全國。 4 於是，其他總長和總督想在但以理的政務中找把柄控告他，卻找不到任何把柄或過失，因為他誠實可靠，毫無過失。 5 最後他們說：「除非我們從但以理上帝的律法下手，否則找不到指控他的把柄。」
6 於是，這些總長和總督齊來見王，說：「願大流士王萬歲！ 7 所有總長、行政官、總督、謀士和省長都認為王應該下一道禁令，三十天內，任何人不得向王以外的神明或人禱告，違者必被扔進獅子坑。 8 王啊，求你頒佈、簽署這道禁令，使之不可更改，正如瑪代人和波斯人的律令是不可更改的。」 9 於是大流士王簽署了這道禁令。
10 但以理知道王簽署禁令後，就回到家裡。他樓上的窗戶朝向耶路撒冷，他像往常一樣每日三次跪下向上帝禱告、感恩。 11 那些官員一同來了，發現但以理向他的上帝禱告、祈求， 12 便去見王，提及王的禁令，說：「王啊，你不是簽署禁令，三十天內，任何人不得向王以外的神明或人禱告，違者必被扔進獅子坑嗎？」王說：「確有此事，按照瑪代人和波斯人的律，這禁令不可更改。」 13 他們對王說：「王啊，被擄來的猶大人但以理不理會你和你的禁令，仍一日三次向他的上帝祈禱。」 14 王聽了這些話，十分愁煩，一心想救但以理，直到日落都在籌畫解救之道。 15 那些人齊來見王，說：「王啊，按照瑪代人和波斯人的律，王頒佈的禁令和律例是不可更改的。」
16 王便下令把但以理帶來扔進獅子坑。他對但以理說：「願你忠心事奉的上帝拯救你！」 17 坑口用大石封住，並加上王和大臣的封印，使懲辦但以理的事不可更改。 18 王回宮後，整夜禁食，拒絕娛樂，無法入睡。
19 次日黎明，王起來匆忙趕往獅子坑， 20 到了坑邊，淒聲呼喊但以理：「永活上帝的僕人但以理啊，你忠心事奉的上帝有沒有救你脫離獅子的口？」 21 但以理對王說：「願王萬歲！ 22 我的上帝差遣天使封住了獅子的口，不讓牠們傷害我，因為我在上帝面前是清白的。王啊，我在你面前也沒有過錯。」 23 王非常高興，便命人把但以理從坑中拉上來。於是，但以理從坑中被拉了上來，他因為信靠他的上帝，身上毫無損傷。 24 王下令把那些惡意控告但以理的人及其兒女妻子都帶來，扔進獅子坑。他們還沒到坑底，獅子便撲上去，咬碎了他們的骨頭。
25 後來，大流士王傳諭境內的各族、各邦、各語種的人，說：「願你們大享平安！ 26 我下令，我統治的國民都要敬畏但以理的上帝，
「因為祂是永活長存的上帝，
祂的國度永不滅亡，
祂的統治直到永遠。
27 祂庇護、拯救，
在天上地下行神蹟奇事，
救但以理脫離獅子的口。」
28 因此，在大流士和波斯人塞魯士執政期間，但以理凡事亨通。

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。

The Plot against Daniel
6 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom; 2 and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss. 3 Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. 4 Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom; but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him. 5 Then these men said, “We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.”
6 Then these presidents and satraps came by agreement[a] to the king and said to him, “O King Darius, live for ever! 7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. 8 Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the document, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked.” 9 Therefore King Darius signed the document and interdict.
Daniel in the Lions’ Den
10 When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem; and he got down upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously. 11 Then these men came by agreement[b] and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. 12 Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the interdict, “O king! Did you not sign an interdict, that any man who makes 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, “The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked.” 13 Then they answered before the king, “That Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no heed to you, O king, or the interdict you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”
14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was much distressed, and set his mind to deliver Daniel; and he labored till the sun went down to rescue him. 15 Then these men came by agreement[c] to the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no interdict or ordinance which the king establishes can be changed.”
16 Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!” 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 nothing might be changed concerning Daniel. 18 Then the king went to his palace, and spent the night fasting; no diversions were brought to him, and sleep fled from him.
Daniel Saved from the Lions
19 Then, at break of day, the king arose and went in haste to the den of lions. 20 When he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish and said to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?” 21 Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live for ever! 22 My God sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me, because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no wrong.” 23 Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of hurt was found upon him, beause he had trusted in his God. 24 And the king commanded, and those men who had accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives; and before they reached the bottom of the den the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces.
25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you. 26 I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel,
for he is the living God,
enduring for ever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed,
and his dominion shall be to the end.
27 He delivers and rescues,
he works signs and wonders
in heaven and on earth,
he who has saved Daniel
from the power of the lions.”
28 So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Daniel in the Den of Lions
6 [a]It pleased Darius(A) to appoint 120 satraps(B) to rule throughout the kingdom, 2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel.(C) The satraps were made accountable(D) to them so that the king might not suffer loss. 3 Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.(E) 4 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges(F) against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. 5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”(G)
6 So these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said: “May King Darius live forever!(H) 7 The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors(I) have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den.(J) 8 Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”(K) 9 So King Darius put the decree in writing.
10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward(L) Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees(M) and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.(N) 11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help.(O) 12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”
The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”(P)
13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah,(Q) pays no attention(R) to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” 14 When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed;(S) he was determined to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him.
15 Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.”(T)
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den.(U) The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue(V) you!”
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed(W) it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating(X) and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.(Y)
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?”(Z)
21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever!(AA) 22 My God sent his angel,(AB) and he shut the mouths of the lions.(AC) They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight.(AD) 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(AE) was found on him, because he had trusted(AF) 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,(AG) along with their wives and children.(AH) And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.(AI)
25 Then King Darius wrote to all the nations and peoples of every language(AJ) in all the earth:
“May you prosper greatly!(AK)
26 “I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence(AL) the God of Daniel.(AM)
“For he is the living God(AN)
and he endures forever;(AO)
his kingdom will not be destroyed,
his dominion will never end.(AP)
27 He rescues and he saves;(AQ)
he performs signs and wonders(AR)
in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel
from the power of the lions.”(AS)
28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus[b](AT) the Persian.(AU)
