¹

And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyrus of Persia received his kingdom.

¹

И# цaрь ґстmaгъ приложи1сz къ nтцє1мъ свои6мъ: и3 пріS кЂръ пeрсzнинъ цaрство є3гw2.

²

And Daniel conversed with the king, and was honoured above all his friends.

²

И# бsше даніи1лъ сожи1телствующь со царeмъ и3 слaвенъ пaче всёхъ другHвъ є3гw2.

³

Now the Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and there were spent upon him every day twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine.

³

И# бsше кумjръ вавmлHнzнwмъ, є3мyже и4мz ви1лъ, и3 и3ждивaху є3мY на кjйждо дeнь муки2 семідaлны ґртав†съ дванaдесzть и3 nвeцъ четhредесzть и3 вінA мёръ шeсть.

⁴

And the king worshipped it, and went daily to adore it: but Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king said unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel?

⁴

И# цaрь почитaше є3го2 и хождaше по вс‰ дни6 клaнzтисz є3мY: даніи1лъ же клaнzшесz бGу своемY. И# речE є3мY цaрь: почто2 не покланsешисz ви1лу;

⁵

Who answered and said, Because I may not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, who hath created the heaven and the earth, and hath sovereignty over all flesh.

⁵

Џнъ же речE: понeже не покланsюсz кумjрwмъ рукaми сотворє1ннымъ, но жив0му бGу сотв0рщему нeбо и3 зeмлю и3 владyщему всёми.

⁶

Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Bel is a living god? seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day?

⁶

И# речE є3мY цaрь: не мни1тсz ли ти2 ви1лъ бhти жи1въ б0гъ; и3ли2 не ви1диши, коли1кw ћстъ и3 піeтъ по вс‰ дни6;

⁷

Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never eat or drink any thing.

⁷

И# речE даніи1лъ посмэsвсz: не прельщaйсz, царю2! т0й бо внутрьyду прaхъ є4сть, ґ внэyду мёдь, и не kдE, ни пи2 никогдaже.

⁸

So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said unto them, If ye tell me not who this is that devoureth these expences, ye shall die.

⁸

И# разгнёвавсz цaрь призA жерцы2 сво‰ и3 речE и5мъ: ѓще не повёсте ми2, кто2 ћстъ брaшно сіE, то2 ќмрете:

⁹

But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then Daniel shall die: for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel. And Daniel said unto the king, Let it be according to thy word.

⁹

ѓще же покaжете, ћкw ви1лъ снэдaетъ є5, ќмретъ даніи1лъ, ћкw похyлилъ є4сть ви1ла. И# речE даніи1лъ царю2: бyди по глаг0лу твоемY.

¹⁰

Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, beside their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel.

¹⁰

Бsше же жерцє1въ ви1ловыхъ сeдмьдесzтъ, кромЁ жeнъ и3 дэтeй.

¹¹

So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out: but thou, O king, set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast, and seal it with thine own signet;

¹¹

И# пріи1де цaрь со даніи1ломъ во хрaмъ ви1ловъ. И# рёша жерцы2 ви1лwвы: сE, мы2 и3зhдемъ в0нъ, тh же, царю2, постaви ћди, и3 віно2 начeрпавъ постaви, заключи1 же двє1ри и3 запечaтай пeрстнемъ свои1мъ:

¹²

and to-morrow when thou comest in, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death: or else Daniel, that speaketh falsely against us.

¹²

и3 пришeдъ заyтра, ѓще не њбрsщеши всегw2 и3з8sдена ви1ломъ, тогдA и4змремъ, и3ли2 даніи1лъ солгaвый на ны2.

¹³

And they little regarded it: for under the table they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in continually, and consumed those things.

¹³

Тjи же пренебрегaху, понeже сотвори1ша под8 трапeзою сокровeнъ вх0дъ и3 вхождaху тёмъ всегдA и3 и3з8zдaху т†z.

¹⁴

So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence of the king alone: then went they out, and shut the door, and sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed.

¹⁴

И# бhсть, є3гдA и3зыд0ша nни2, и3 цaрь постaви брaшно ви1лу: и3 повелЁ даніи1лъ nтрокHмъ свои6мъ, и3 принес0ша пeпелъ и3 посhпаша вeсь хрaмъ пред8 царeмъ є3ди1нымъ: и3 и3зшeдше заключи1ша двє1ри, и3 запечaташа пeрстнемъ царeвымъ, и3 tид0ша.

¹⁵

Now in the night came the priests with their wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all.

¹⁵

Жерцh же внид0ша н0щію по њбhчаю своемY, и3 жєны2 и4хъ и3 ч†да и4хъ, и3 поzд0ща вс‰ и3 и3спи1ша.

¹⁶

In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.

¹⁶

И# ўрaни цaрь заyтра, и3 даніи1лъ съ ни1мъ.

¹⁷

And the king said, Daniel, are the seals whole? And he said, Yea, O king, they be whole.

¹⁷

И# речE цaрь: цBлы ли сyть пєчaти, даніи1ле; Џнъ же речE: цBлы, царю2.

¹⁸

And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, Great art thou, O Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all.

¹⁸

И# бhсть ѓбіе, є3гдA tверз0ша двє1ри, воззрёвъ цaрь на трапeзу, возопи2 глaсомъ вели1кимъ: вели1къ є3си2, ви1ле, и3 нёсть льсти2 въ тебЁ ни є3ди1ныz.

¹⁹

Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he should not go in, and said, Behold now the pavement, and mark well whose footsteps are these.

¹⁹

И# посмэsсz даніи1лъ, и3 ўдержA царS, є4же бы не вни1ти є3мY внyтрь, и3 речE: ви1ждь u5бо пом0стъ и3 u5разумёй, чі‰ сyть стwпы2 сі‰;

²⁰

And the king said, I see the footsteps of men, women, and children. And then the king was angry,

²⁰

И# речE цaрь: ви1жду стопы2 мyжєски и3 жє1нски и3 дBтски.

²¹

and took the priests with their wives and children, who shewed him the private doors, where they came in, and consumed such things as were upon the table.

²¹

И# разгиёвавсz цaрь, ћтъ тогдA жерцы2 и3 жєны2 и4хъ и3 дёти и4хъ, и3 показaша є3мY сокровє1нныz двє1ри и4миже вхождaху и3 поzдaху ±же на трапeзэ.

²²

Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into Daniel's power, who destroyed him and his temple.

²²

И# и3зби2 | цaрь и3 дадE ви1ла въ рyцэ даніи1лу, и3 разби2 є3го2 и3 хрaмъ є3гw2 разори2.

²³

And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped.

²³

И# бsше ѕмjй вели1кій на мёстэ т0мъ, и3 почитaху є3го2 вавmлHнzне.

²⁴

And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.

²⁴

И# речE цaрь даніи1лу: є3дA и3 семY речeши, ћкw мёдь є4сть; сeй жи1въ є4сть, и3 ћстъ и3 піeтъ: не м0жеши рещи2, ћкw нёсть сeй б0гъ жи1въ: u5бо поклони1сz є3мY.

²⁵

Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my God: for he is the living God.

²⁵

И# речE даніи1лъ: гDу бGу моемY поклоню1сz, ћкw т0й є4сть бGъ жи1въ:

²⁶

But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave.

²⁶

тh же, царю2, дaждь ми2 влaсть, и3 ўбію2 ѕмjа без8 мечA и3 без8 жезлA. И# речE цaрь: даю1 ти.

²⁷

Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder: and Daniel said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.

²⁷

И# взS даніи1лъ см0лу и3 тyкъ и3 в0лну, и3 возвари2 вкyпэ, и3 сотвори2 гом0лу, и3 ввeже во ўстA ѕмjю, и3 и3з8sдъ разсёдесz ѕмjй. И# речE даніи1лъ: зри1те чти6лища в†ша.

²⁸

When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the dragon, and put the priests to death.

²⁸

И# бhсть, є3гдA ўслhшаша вавmлHнzне, возроптaша ѕэлw2 и3 њбрати1шасz на царS и3 рёша: їудeанинъ бhсть цaрь, ви1ла раст0рже, и3 ѕмjа ўби2, и3 жерцы2 и3зсэчE.

²⁹

So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thine house.

²⁹

И# рёша пришeдше ко царю2: предaждь нaмъ даніи1ла: ѓще ли ни2, то2 ўбіeмъ тS и3 д0мъ тв0й.

³⁰

Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them;

³⁰

И# ви1дэ цaрь, ћкw налегaютъ на него2 ѕэлw2, и3 принуждeнъ предадE и5мъ даніи1ла.

³¹

who cast him into the lions' den: where he was six days.

³¹

Тjи же вверг0ша є3го2 въ р0въ лeвскъ, и3 бЁ тaмw днjй шeсть.

³²

And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given them every day two carcases, and two sheep: which then were not given to them, to the intent they might devour Daniel.

³²

Бsху же въ р0вэ сeдмь львHвъ, и3 даsху и5мъ на дeнь двA тBла и3 двЁ џвцы: тогдa же не дaша и5мъ, да снэдsтъ даніи1ла.

³³

Now there was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who had made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers.

³³

Ґввакyмъ же прbр0къ бsше во їудeи, и3 т0й свари2 варeніе и3 вдроби2 хлёбы въ нHщвы, и3 и3дsше на п0ле донести2 жaтелємъ.

³⁴

But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions' den.

³⁴

И# речE ѓгGлъ гDень ґввакyму: tнеси2 њбёдъ, є3г0же и4маши, въ вавmлHнъ даніи1лу, въ р0въ лeвскъ.

³⁵

And Habbacuc said, Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know where the den is.

³⁵

И# речE ґввакyмъ: гDи, вавmлHна не ви1дэхъ, и3 рвA не вёмъ, гдЁ є4сть.

³⁶

Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.

³⁶

И# ћтъ є3го2 ѓгGлъ гDень за вeрхъ є3гw2, и3 держA за власы2 главы2 є3гw2, и3 постaви є3го2 въ вавmлHнэ верхY рвA шyмомъ дyха своегw2.

³⁷

And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, take the dinner which God hath sent thee.

³⁷

И# возопи2 ґввакyмъ глаг0лz: даніи1ле, даніи1ле! возми2 њбёдъ, є3г0же послA тебЁ бGъ.

³⁸

And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, O God: neither hast thou forsaken them that seek thee and love thee.

³⁸

И# речE даніи1лъ: помzнyлъ бо мS є3си2, б9е, и3 нёси њстaвилъ лю1бzщихъ тS.

³⁹

So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Lord set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately.

³⁹

И# востaвъ даніи1лъ ћдE: ѓгGлъ же б9ій пaки постaви ґввакyма внезaпу на мёстэ є3гw2.

⁴⁰

Upon the seventh day the king went to bewail Daniel: and when he came to the den, he looked in, and, behold, Daniel was sitting.

⁴⁰

Цaрь же пріи1де въ седмhй дeнь жалёти даніи1ла, и3 пріи1де над8 р0въ, и3 воззрЁ и3 сE, даніи1лъ сэдS.

⁴¹

Then cried the king with a loud voice, saying, Great art thou, O Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other beside thee.

⁴¹

И# возопи2 цaрь глaсомъ вели1кимъ и3 речE: вели1къ є3си2, гDи, б9е даніи1ловъ, и3 нёсть и3н0гw рaзвэ тебє2.

⁴²

And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause of his destruction into the den: and they were devoured in a moment before his face.

⁴²

И# и3схити2 є3го2, пови6нныz же пaгубэ є3гw2 ввeрже въ р0въ, и3 и3з8zдeни бhша ѓбіе пред8 ни1мъ.
