Daniel 6

KING JAMES BIBLE	LXX
1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;	1 και αρταξερξης ο των μηδων παρελαβε την βασιλειαν και δαρειος πληρης των ημερων και ενδοξος εν γηρει
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.	2 και κατεστησε σατραπας εκατον εικοσι επτα επι πασης της βασιλειας αυτου
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.	3 και επ' αυτων ανδρας τρεις ηγουμενους αυτων και δανιηλ εις ην των τριων ανδρων
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.	4 υπερ παντας εχων εξουσιαν εν τη βασιλεια και δανιηλ ην ενδεδυμενος πορφυραν και μεγας και ενδοξος εναντι δαρειου του βασιλεως καθοτι ην ενδοξος και επιστημων και συνετος και πνευμα αγιον εν αυτω και ευοδουμενος εν ταις πραγματειαις του βασιλεως αις επρασσε τοτε ο βασιλευς εβουλευσατο καταστησαι τον δανιηλ επι πασης της βασιλειας αυτου και τους δυο ανδρας ους κατεστησε μετ' αυτου και σατραπας εκατον εικοσι επτα
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 God.	5 οτε δε εβουλευσατο ο βασιλευς καταστησαι τον δανιηλ επι πασης της βασιλειας αυτου τοτε βουλην και γνωμην εβουλευσαντο εν εαυτοις οι δυο νεανισκοι προς αλληλους λεγοντες επει ουδεμιαν αμαρτιαν ουδε αγνοιαν ηυρισκον κατα του δανιηλ περι ης κατηγορησουσιν αυτου προς τον βασιλεα
6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.	6 και ειπαν δευτε στησωμεν ορισμον καθ' εαυτων οτι πας ανθρωπος ουκ αξιωσει αξιωμα και ου μη ευξηται ευχην απο παντος θεου εως ημερων τριακοντα αλλ' η παρα δαρειου του βασιλεως ει δε μη αποθανειται ινα ηττησωσι τον δανιηλ εναντιον του βασιλεως και ριφη εις τον λακκον των λεοντων ηδεισαν γαρ οτι δανιηλ προσευχεται και δειται κυριου του θεου αυτου τρις της ημερας
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellers, 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 God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.	7 τοτε προσηλθοσαν οι ανθρωποι εκεινοι και ειπαν εναντιον του βασιλεως
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.	8 ορισμον και στασιν εστησαμεν οτι πας ανθρωπος ος αν ευξηται ευχην η αξιωση αξιωμα τι παρα παντος θεου εως ημερων τριακοντα αλλ' η παρα δαρειου του βασιλεως ριφησεται εις τον λακκον των λεοντων
9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.	9 και ηξιωσαν τον βασιλεα ινα στηση τον ορισμον και μη αλλοιωση αυτον διοτι ηδεισαν οτι δανιηλ προσευχεται και δειται τρις της ημερας ινα ηττηθη δια του βασιλεως και ριφη εις τον λακκον των λεοντων
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 God, as he did aforetime.	10 και ουτως ο βασιλευς δαρειος εστησε και εκυρωσεν
11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.	11 επιγνους δε δανιηλ τον ορισμον ον εστησε κατ' αυτου θυριδας ηνοιξεν εν τω υπερωω αυτου κατεναντι ιερουσαλημ και επιπτεν επι προσωπον αυτου τρις της ημερας καθως εποιει εμπροσθεν και εδειτο
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 God 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.	12 και αυτοι ετηρησαν τον δανιηλ και κατελαβοσαν αυτον ευχομενον τρις της ημερας καθ' εκαστην ημεραν
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.	13 τοτε ουτοι οι ανθρωποι ενετυχον τω βασιλει και ειπαν δαρειε βασιλευ ουχ ορισμον ωρισω ινα πας ανθρωπος μη ευξηται ευχην μηδε αξιωση αξιωμα παρα παντος θεου εως ημερων τριακοντα αλλα παρα σου βασιλευ ει δε μη ριφησεται εις τον λακκον των λεοντων αποκριθεις δε ο βασιλευς ειπεν αυτοις ακριβης ο λογος και μενει ο ορισμος [13α] και ειπον αυτω ορκιζομεν σε τοις μηδων και περσων δογμασιν ινα μη αλλοιωσης το προσταγμα μηδε θαυμασης προσωπον και ινα μη ελαττωσης τι των ειρημενων και κολασης τον ανθρωπον ος ουκ ενεμεινε τω ορισμω τουτω και ειπεν ουτως ποιησω καθως λεγετε και εστηκε μοι τουτο
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.	14 και ειπαν ιδου ευρομεν δανιηλ τον φιλον σου ευχομενον και δεομενον του προσωπου του θεου αυτου τρις της ημερας
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.	15 και λυπουμενος ο βασιλευς ειπεν ριφηναι τον δανιηλ εις τον λακκον των λεοντων κατα τον ορισμον ον εστησε κατ' αυτου τοτε ο βασιλευς σφοδρα ελυπηθη επι τω δανιηλ και εβοηθει του εξελεσθαι αυτον εως δυσμων ηλιου απο των χειρων των σατραπων
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 God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.	16 και ουκ ηδυνατο εξελεσθαι αυτον απ' αυτων
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.	17 αναβοησας δε δαρειος ο βασιλευς ειπε τω δανιηλ ο θεος σου ω συ λατρευεις ενδελεχως τρις της ημερας αυτος εξελειται σε εκ χειρος των λεοντων εως πρωι θαρρει
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.	18 τοτε δανιηλ ερριφη εις τον λακκον των λεοντων και ηνεχθη λιθος και ετεθη εις το στομα του λακκου και εσφραγισατο ο βασιλευς εν τω δακτυλιω εαυτου και εν τοις δακτυλιοις των μεγιστανων αυτου οπως μη απ' αυτων αρθη ο δανιηλ η ο βασιλευς αυτον ανασπαση εκ του λακκου
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.	19 τοτε υπεστρεψεν ο βασιλευς εις τα βασιλεια αυτου και ηυλισθη νηστις και ην λυπουμενος περι του δανιηλ τοτε ο θεος του δανιηλ προνοιαν ποιουμενος αυτου απεκλεισε τα στοματα των λεοντων και ου παρηνωχλησαν τω δανιηλ
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 God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?	20 και ο βασιλευς δαρειος ωρθρισε πρωι και παρελαβε μεθ' εαυτου τους σατραπας και πορευθεις εστη επι του στοματος του λακκου των λεοντων
21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.	21 τοτε ο βασιλευς εκαλεσε τον δανιηλ φωνη μεγαλη μετα κλαυθμου λεγων ω δανιηλ ει αρα ζης και ο θεος σου ω λατρευεις ενδελεχως σεσωκε σε απο των λεοντων και ουκ ηχρειωκαν σε
22 My God 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.	22 τοτε δανιηλ επηκουσε φωνη μεγαλη και ειπεν βασιλευ ετι ειμι ζων
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 God.	23 και σεσωκε με ο θεος απο των λεοντων καθοτι δικαιοσυνη εν εμοι ευρεθη εναντιον αυτου και εναντιον δε σου βασιλευ ουτε αγνοια ουτε αμαρτια ευρεθη εν εμοι συ δε ηκουσας ανθρωπων πλανωντων βασιλεις και ερριψας με εις τον λακκον των λεοντων εις απωλειαν
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.	24 τοτε συνηχθησαν πασαι αι δυναμεις και ειδον τον δανιηλ ως ου παρηνωχλησαν αυτω οι λεοντες
25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.	25 τοτε οι δυο ανθρωποι εκεινοι οι καταμαρτυρησαντες του δανιηλ αυτοι και αι γυναικες αυτων και τα τεκνα αυτων ερριφησαν τοις λεουσι και οι λεοντες απεκτειναν αυτους και εθλασαν τα οστα αυτων
26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.	26 τοτε δαρειος εγραψε πασι τοις εθνεσι και χωραις και γλωσσαις τοις οικουσιν εν παση τη γη αυτου λεγων
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.	27 παντες οι ανθρωποι οι οντες εν τη βασιλεια μου εστωσαν προσκυνουντες και λατρευοντες τω θεω του δανιηλ αυτος γαρ εστι θεος μενων και ζων εις γενεας γενεων εως του αιωνος
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.	28 εγω δαρειος εσομαι αυτω προσκυνων και δουλευων πασας τας ημερας μου τα γαρ ειδωλα τα χειροποιητα ου δυνανται σωσαι ως ελυτρωσατο ο θεος του δανιηλ τον δανιηλ
	29 και ο βασιλευς δαρειος προσετεθη προς το γενος αυτου και δανιηλ κατεσταθη επι της βασιλειας δαρειου και κυρος ο περσης παρελαβε την βασιλειαν αυτου
