¹

И бы'сть ё^гоDно преD да'рїемъ, и^ поста'ви въ црsтвњ кн~ѕь р~, и^ к~, ја^коже бы'ти и^мъ въ всемъ црsтвњ е^го.

¹

And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years old.

²

наD ни'ми же три чино'вники, эT ни'х#же б^њ данїи'лъ тре'тїи. ја^коже повњдаемъ рњчи и^мъ кн~ѕемъ, да цр~ю не ꙁазля'ютъ.

²

And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;

³

и^ бњ данїи'лъ наD ни'ми, ја%ко дх~ъ бња'ше и^ꙁ#ѓ^би'ла в немъ, и^ цр~ь поста'ви и& въ всемъ црsтвњ свое^мъ.

³

and over them three governors, of whom one was Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the king should not be troubled.

⁴

чино'вницы же и^ кня'ѕи и^ска'хђ вины` на данїи'ла. и^ всеа вины` и^ събла'ꙁна и^ грњха` не ѓбрњтеs до него, ја%ко и^ꙁвњ'стъ бњ'аше”

⁴

And Daniel was over them, for there was an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom.

⁵

И$ рњша чино'вницы, не ѓ^бря'щемъ до данїила вины`, а^ще не въ ꙁако'нXњ б~а е^го.

⁵

Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful.

⁶

тогда` чино'в#ницы и^ кн~ѕи ста'вше преD цр~емъ рњша е^мђ, дарїе цр~ю, въ вњки живи.

⁶

And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.

⁷

съвњща'ша вси и^же въ црsтвњ твое^м#, вое^во'ды, и^ кн~ѕи, и^ ѓблада'ющеи страна'ми, ја%коже ё^ста'вити ё^ста'въ црsкь и^ ё^крњпи'ти ꙁаро'къ. ја%ко а^ще кт^о про'ситъ проше'нїа всего ё^ бо'га, и^ли чл~ка до дн~ъ л~, ра'ꙁвњ то'чїю ё^ тебе цр~ю, да ся въвръжетъ в ро'въ лев#скь.

⁷

Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.

⁸

нн~њ ё^бо цр~ю ё^ста'ви ꙁаро'къ, и^ положи писанїе, ја%ко да ся не и^ꙁмњнитъ ꙁаповњдь миDска и^ прьска, ја%ко да ся не премњнитъ сђпроти'въ семђ”

⁸

All who preside over thy kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statute and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

⁹

И$ тогда` цр~ь да'рїи повелњ въписа'нїе и^ заповњдь.

⁹

Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed.

¹⁰

данїиl же е^гда ё^вњде, ја%ко ꙁа'повњдь вчини'ся, вни'де в до'мъ свои. двер#ца же эTвер#сты е^мђ в нога'тицы е^го проти'вђ і^е^рлsимђ. въ три' же вре'мена дн~е бња'ше прекланя'а колњ'ни свои, моля'ся и^сповњда'я преD бг~омъ свои^мъ, ја%коже б^њ творя'и преже”

¹⁰

Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written.

¹¹

Тогда` мђжи ѓ^ни блюдо'ша, и^ ѓ^брњто'ша данїи'ла прося'ща и^ молящася преD гм~ъ свои^мъ.

¹¹

And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before.

¹²

и^ пришеDше рњша преD цр~емъ. цр~ю не ꙁаро'къ л^и т^ы б^њ ё^чини'лъ ја%ко весь чл~къ и^же а^ще просиT всего ё^ б~а, и^ли чл~ка до л~ дн~ъ, н^о то'чїю ё^ тебе цр~ю, да ся въвержеT в ро'въ лев#скь. и^ рече цр~ь, и^стин#но сло'во, и^ ꙁа'повњдь миDска и^ пер#ска не минетъ.

¹²

Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God.

¹³

и^ тогда` эTвњща'ша преD цр~емъ и^ гл~аша, данїи'лъ и^же эT сн~ов# плњ'нникъ жидо'в#скь, не покори'ся ꙁа'повњди твое'и и^ неради ѓ^ ꙁаро'цњ иже в#чини`. три б^о времена дн~е про'ситъ ё^ б~а свое^го проше'нїи своиX.

¹³

And they came and said to the king, O king, hast thou not made a decree, that whatsoever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass.

¹⁴

тогда` цр~ь ја%ко слы'шавъ сло'во с^е, ѕњ'ло съжашли с^и ѓ^ нем#, и^ ѓ^ данїи'лᲇ, и^ пря'ся и^ꙁба'вити и&, и^ бњ` до вечера пря'ся ја%ко и^ꙁба'вити и&.

¹⁴

Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to thy decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.

¹⁵

тогда` мђжи ѓ^ни гл~аша цр~ю. вњ'ждь цр~ю ја%ко ми'домъ и^ пе'рсомъ, нњсть лњ'по премњни'ти ꙁаро'ка и^ ё^ста'ва и^же цр~ь съста'витъ”

¹⁵

Then the king, when he heard the saying, was much grieved for Daniel, and he greatly exerted himself for Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver him.

¹⁶

Тогда` цр~ь рече, и^ приведо'ша данїи'ла и^ въвергоша и& в ровъ лев#скь. и^ рече цр~ь данїи'лђ, б~ъ е^мђже т^ы слђжиши прsно, и^ꙁба'витъ т^я.

¹⁶

Then those men said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that we must not change any decree or statute which the king shall make.

¹⁷

и^ принесо'ша камы'к# е^ді'нъ, и^ въꙁложи'ша и& на ё%стїе р#вђ, и^ ꙁнамена цр~ь прьстьнемъ свои^мъ, и^ прьстьнемъ вельмо'жъ е^го, да ся не и^ꙁмњнитъ дњя'нїе ѓ^ данїи'лњ.

¹⁷

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

¹⁸

и^ эTи^де цр~ь в до'мъ свои, и^ леже беꙁ# вечеря, и^ ја%ди не внесо'ша к# немђ, и^ сонᲆ эTстђпи эT него. и^ ꙁаключи б~ъ ё^ста` львоM и^ не стђжи'ша данїи'лђ.

¹⁸

And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel.

¹⁹

тогда` цр~ь въста'въ ꙁаё%тра на свњте, и^ прїиде къ р#вђ лев#скђ.

¹⁹

And the king departed to his house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they did not molest Daniel.

²⁰

и^ въꙁᲆпи жрњ'ломъ крњ'пкомъ, данїи'ле рабе б~а жива'го. б~ъ твои е^мђже т^ы слђжиши прsно, въꙁмо'же л^и и^ꙁба'вити т^я и^ꙁ# ё%стъ льво'въ.

²⁰

Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in haste to the den of lions.

²¹

и^ рече данїи'лъ цр~ю, цр~ю въ вњ'ки живи.

²¹

And when he drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has thy God, whom thou servest continually, been able to deliver thee from the lion's mouth?

²²

бг~ъ мо'и посла` а^гг~ла свое^го, и^ ꙁатвори ё^ста льво'ва, и^ не расы'паша мене. ја%ко ѓ^брњте'ся преD ни'мъ пра'вда моя. и^ преD тобо'ю же цр~ю съгрњше'нїа не сътвори'хъ”

²²

And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.

²³

Тогда` цр~ь въꙁвесели'ся ѓ^ немъ, и^ рече данїи'ла и^ꙁвести и^з# рва. и^ все тлњнїе не ѓ^брњте'ся ѓ^ немъ, ја%ко вњрова къ бђ свое^мђ.

²³

My God has sent his angel, and stopped the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before thee, O king, I have committed no trespass.

²⁴

и^ рече цр~ь, и^ приведо'ша мђж'а ѓ^клевета'вшая данїи'ла. и^ в ро'въ лев#скь въверго'ша я&, и^ сн~ы и^хъ и^ же'ны иX. и^ не доидо'ша д#на р#вђ даже содолњша и^мъ льви, и^ вся ко'сти и^хъ ѓ^тон#чи'ша”

²⁴

Then the king was very glad for him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he believed in his God.

²⁵

Тогда` да'рїи цр~ь въписа` всњм# лю'демъ, племенемъ, ја^ꙁы'комъ живђщїимъ въ все'и ꙁемли`. ми'ръ вамъ ё^мно'жится.

²⁵

And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones.

²⁶

эT лица мое^го заповњдася ꙁа'повњдь, ја%коже въ все'и ꙁемли` цр~ства мое^го трясђщеMся и^ боящемся бы'ти эT лица б~а данїи'ля. ја%ко то'и е^сть б~ъ живы'и, и^ пребываяй въ вњ'ки. и^ црsтво е^го не расы'плется, и^ вла'сть е^го до кон#ца

²⁶

Then king Darius wrote to all nations, tribes, and languages, who dwell in all the earth, saying, Peace be multiplied to you.

²⁷

поDе'млетъ. і^ и^ꙁбавля'етъ, и^ тво'риT ꙁна'менїя и^ чюдеса`, на нб~си и^ на ꙁемли, и^же и^ꙁба'ви данїи'ла эT ё%ст# льво'въ.

²⁷

This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living and eternal God, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion is for ever.

²⁸

данїилъ же ё^прави` въ црsьтвњ да'рїевњ, и^ кљ'ра пер#сина”

²⁸

He helps and delivers, and works signs and wonders in the heaven and on the earth, who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.
