Daniel 6
Maori Bible
6 I pai a Tariuha kia whakaritea etahi ariki kotahi rau e rua tekau mo te kingitanga, hei kawana mo te kingitanga katoa;
2 E toru hoki nga rangatira nui mo enei, a ko Raniera tetahi o ratou; ma nga ariki ra nga korero e homai ki enei, kei he nga mea a te kingi.
3 Katahi ka whakanuia tenei Raniera ki runga ake i nga rangatira nui, i nga ariki, no te mea he pai rawa te wairua i roto i a ia, a i whakaaro te kingi kia meinga ia hei rangatira mo te kingitanga katoa.
4 Katahi nga rangatira nunui ratou ko nga ariki ka rapu take mo Raniera i roto i nga mea o te kingitanga; heoi kihai i kitea tetahi take, tetahi he; he mahi pono hoki tana, kahore ona kino, ona he.
5 Katahi ka mea aua tangata, E kore e kitea e tatou he take mo tenei Raniera, ki te kahore e kitea he mea mona i roto i te ture a tona Atua.
6 Katahi enei rangatira nunui ratou ko nga ariki ka huihui ki te kingi; ko ta ratou korero tenei ki a ia, E Kingi Tariuha, kia ora tonu koe.
7 Kua korerorero nga rangatira nunui katoa o te kingitanga, nga kawana, nga ariki, nga kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, nga rangatira, kia whakatakotoria he tikanga kingi, kia whakapumautia he ture kaha, ara ki te inoia he mea e tetahi ki tetahi atua, tang ata ranei, a kia toru tekau ra ano nga ra, he mea ehara i te inoi ki a koe, e te kingi, me maka ia ki te ana o nga raiona.
8 Na mau e whakapumau te ture, e te kingi, whaitohungia hoki te mea i tuhituhia, kei puta ke, kia rite ai ki te ture a nga Meri, a nga Pahi, e kore nei e puta ke.
9 Mo reira whaitohungia ana e Kingi Tariuha te mea i tuhituhia me te ture.
10 Na ka mohio a Raniera ka oti taua mea i tuhituhia te whaitohu, haere ana ia ki tona whare; na ko ona matapihi tuwhera tonu ai i roto i tona ruma ki te ritenga atu o Hiruharama; e toru nga tukunga o ona turi i te ra, inoi ana ia, whakawhetai ana ki te aroaro o tona Atua, pera ana me tana i mua.
11 Katahi ka huihui aua tangata, ka kite i a Raniera e karakia ana, e inoi ana ki te aroaro o tona Atua.
12 Katahi ratou ka whakatata, a ka korero i te ture a te kingi ki te aroaro o te kingi; Kihai ianei i whaitohungia e koe he ture, na, ko nga tangata katoa e inoi ana ki tetahi atua, tangata ranei, i enei rangi e toru tekau, he mea ehara i te inoi k i a koe, e te kingi, ka maka ki te ana raiona? Ka whakahoki te kingi, ka mea, He pono taua mea na, e rite ana ki te ture a nga Meri, a nga Pahi, e kore nei e puta ke.
13 Katahi ratou ka whakahoki, ka mea ki te aroaro o te kingi, Ko te Raniera ra, ko tera o nga tama o nga whakarau o Hura, kahore ona mahara ki a koe, e te kingi, ki te ture ano i whaitohungia e koe, heoi e toru ana inoinga i te ra.
14 A, no te rongonga o te kingi ki enei kupu, katahi ka nui tona kino, a ka anga tona ngakau ki a Raniera kia whakaorangia ia: whai ana ia ki te whakaora i a ia a to noa te ra.
15 Katahi ka huihui nga tangata nei ki te kingi, a ka mea ki te kingi, Kia mohio koe, e te kingi, ko te ture tenei a nga Meri, a nga Pahi, kia kaua e whakaputaia ketia tetahi ture, tikanga ranei, kua oti te whakapumau e te kingi.
16 Katahi te kingi ka whakahau, a kawea ana mai a Raniera, maka ana ki te ana raiona. I korero ano te kingi, i mea ki a Raniera, Ko tou Atua e mahi tonu na koe ki a ia, mana koe e whakaora.
17 Na ka maua mai he kohatu, ka whakatakotoria ki te kuwaha o te ana; hiritia iho e te kingi ki tana ake hiri, ki te hiri ano a ana ariki; kei puta ke tetahi tikanga mo Raniera.
18 Katahi te kingi ka haere ki tona whare, a pau noa taua po kihai i kai, kihai ano nga mea whakatangi i kawea mai ki tona aroaro: a turere atu ana tona moe i a ia.
19 Katahi te kingi ka maranga i te atatu tonu, a hohoro tonu te haere ki te ana raiona.
20 A, no tona tatanga atu ki te ana, ki a Raniera, ka karanga ia, he reo tangi te reo: i korero te kingi, i mea ki a Raniera, E Raniera, e te pononga a te Atua ora, he kaha ranei tou Atua e mahi tonu na koe ki a ia, ki te whakaora i a koe kei mate i nga raiona?
21 Na ka mea a Raniera ki te kingi, E te kingi, kia ora tonu koe.
22 Kua tukua mai e toku Atua tana anahera, a tutakina ana e ia nga mangai o nga raiona, a kihai ratou i pa ki ahau: no te mea kua kitea toku kore hara i tona aroaro; kahore ano aku mahi he i tou aroaro, e te kingi.
23 Na nui atu ke koa o te kingi, a whakahaua ana e ia kia tangohia ake a Raniera i roto i te ana. Na kua tangohia ake a Raniera i roto i te ana, kihai rawa ano i kitea tetahi ahatanga ki a ia, no te mea i whakapono ia ki tona Atua.
24 Na ka whakahau te kingi, a ka maua aua tangata i whakapae ra ki a Raniera, ka maka ki te ana raiona, ratou, a ratou tamariki, a ratou wahine, riro pu ratou i nga raiona, a wawahia ana e ratou o ratou wheua katoa i te mea kiano i tatu noa ki raro o te ana.
25 Katahi a Kingi Tariuha ka tuhituhi ki nga tangata katoa, ki nga iwi, ki nga reo, e noho ana i te whenua katoa; Kia whakanuia te rangimarie ki a koutou.
26 Tenei ahau te whakatakoto tikanga nei; na, i nga kawanatanga katoa o toku kingitanga, kia wiri nga tangata, kia wehi ki te aroaro o te Atua o Raniera: ko ia hoki te Atua ora, pumau tonu a ake ake, e kore tona kingitanga e ngaro, tona kawanatanga hoki a te mutunga ra ano:
27 Mana e whakaora, mana e mawhiti ai; e mahia ana hoki e ia he tohu, he mea whakamiharo i te rangi, i te whenua; nana hoki a Raniera i ora ai i te kaha o nga raiona.
28 Na ka kake tenei Raniera i te kingitanga o Tariuha, i te kingitanga ano hoki o Hairuha Pahi.

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)
