Kniha proroka Daniela

1 (CPDV) It pleased Darius, and so he appointed over the kingdom one hundred twenty governors, to be placed throughout his whole kingdom.
1 (ROH) Ľúbilo sa Dáriovi ustanoviť nad kráľovstvom sto dvadsať satrapov, aby boli po celom kráľovstve.

2 (CPDV) And over these, three leaders, of whom Daniel was one, so that the governors would be accountable to them and the king would have no trouble.
2 (ROH) A nad nimi postavil tri kniežatá, z ktorých jedným bol Daniel, ktorým tí satrapovia dávali počet, aby sa kráľovi nediala škoda.

3 (CPDV) And so Daniel excelled above all the leaders and governors, because a greater spirit of God was in him.
3 (ROH) Vtedy prevyšoval tento Daniel tie kniežatá i satrapov, pretože bol v ňom veľký duch, a kráľ zamýšľal ustanoviť ho nad celým kráľovstvom.

4 (CPDV) Furthermore, the king considered setting him over the entire kingdom; whereupon the leaders and the governors sought to find a complaint against Daniel and in favor of the king. And they could find no case, or even suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault or suspicion was found in him.
4 (ROH) Vtedy sa snažily kniežatá a satrapovia najsť nejakú príčinu proti Danielovi so strany kráľovstva; ale nemohli najsť nijakej príčiny ani vady, pretože bol verný, a nenašiel sa pri ňom nijaký omyl ani vada.

5 (CPDV) Therefore, these men said, “We will not find any complaint against this Daniel, unless it is against the law of his God.”
5 (ROH) Vtedy povedali tí mužovia: Nenajdeme nijakej príčiny proti tomuto Danielovi, krome ak by sme našli proti nemu niečo dotyčne zákona jeho Boha.

6 (CPDV) Then the leaders and governors took the king aside privately and spoke to him in this way: “King Darius, live forever.
6 (ROH) Vtedy sa ruchom shromaždily tie kniežatá i tí satrapovia ku kráľovi a takto mu vraveli: Kráľu Dárie, ži na veky!

7 (CPDV) All the leaders of your kingdom, the magistrates and governors, the senators and judges, have taken counsel that an imperial decree and edict should be published, so that all who ask any petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, will be cast into the den of lions.
7 (ROH) Uradily sa všetky kniežatá kráľovstva, vojvodovia, satrapovia, radcovia a náčelníci, aby kráľ ustanovil ustanovenie a vydal pevnú zápoveď tak, aby každý, kto by za tridsať dní žiadal nejakú žiadosť od ktoréhokoľvek boha alebo človeka krome od teba, kráľu, bol uvrhnutý do jamy ľvov.

8 (CPDV) Now, therefore, O king, confirm this judgment and write the decree, so that what is established by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor will any man be allowed to transgress it.”
8 (ROH) A tak teraz, ó, kráľu, ustanov zápoveď a napíš písmo, ktoré by nemohlo byť zmenené podľa zákona Médov a Peržanov, ktorý sa nemení.

9 (CPDV) And so king Darius set forth the decree and established it.
9 (ROH) Preto kráľ Dárius napísal písmo a vydal zápoveď.

10 (CPDV) Now when Daniel learned of this, namely, that the law had been established, he entered his house, and, opening the windows in his upper room towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and he adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do previously.
10 (ROH) A Daniel, keď sa dozvedel, že bolo napísané také písmo, odišiel hore do svojho domu (a obloky mu boly otvorené hore na jeho izbe proti Jeruzalemu), a trikrát za deň kľakol na svoje kolená a modlil sa a chváliac ďakoval pred svojím Bohom, preto, že to tak robieval i predtýmto.

11 (CPDV) Therefore, these men, inquiring diligently, discovered that Daniel was praying and making supplication to his God.
11 (ROH) Vtedy sa náhle s hrmotom shromaždili tí mužovia a našli Daniela prosiť a pokorne sa modliť pred jeho Bohom.

12 (CPDV) And they approached and spoke to the king about the edict. “O king, did you not decree that every man who makes a request to any of the gods or men for thirty days, except to yourself, O king, would be cast into the den of lions?” To which the king replied, saying, “The sentence is true, and according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, it is not lawful to violate it.”
12 (ROH) Vtedy sa priblížili a hovorili pred kráľom o zápovedi kráľovej: Či si nenapísal zápovedi, aby každý človek, ktorý by za tridsať dní prosil niečo od ktoréhokoľvek boha alebo človeka krome od teba, kráľu, bol uvrhnutý do jamy ľvov? Na to odpovedal kráľ a riekol: To slovo stojí pevne podľa zákona Médov a Peržanov, ktorý sa nemení.

13 (CPDV) Then they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, is not concerned about your law, nor about the decree that you have established, but three times a day he prays his supplication.”
13 (ROH) Vtedy odpovedali a riekli pred kráľom: Daniel, ktorý je zo synov judského zajatia, nedbá na tvoje slovo, ó, kráľu, ani na tvoju zápoveď, ktorú si napísal, ale trikrát za deň prosí svoju prosbu od svojho Boha.

14 (CPDV) Now when the king had heard these words, he was greatly grieved, and, on behalf of Daniel, he set his heart to free him, and he labored even until sunset to rescue him.
14 (ROH) Vtedy sa kráľ, keď počul to slovo, veľmi zarmútil a obrátil na Daniela svoje srdce, aby ho vyslobodil a usiloval sa až do západu slnca, aby ho vytrhol.

15 (CPDV) But these men, knowing the king, said to him, “You know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that every decree which the king has established may not be altered.”
15 (ROH) Vtedy sa znova s hrmotom shromaždili tí mužovia ku kráľovi a vraveli kráľovi: Vedz, ó, kráľu, že Médovia a Peržania majú zákon, aby každá zápoveď a každé ustanovenie, ktoré ustanoví kráľ, bolo nezmeniteľné.

16 (CPDV) Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. And the king said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you always serve, he himself will free you.”
16 (ROH) Vtedy rozkázal kráľ, a doviedli Daniela a hodili ho do jamy ľvov. A kráľ odpovedal a riekol Danielovi: Tvoj Bôh, ktorému slúžiš neprestajne, ten ťa vyslobodí.

17 (CPDV) And a stone was brought, and it was placed over the mouth of the den, which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, so that no one would act against Daniel.
17 (ROH) A donesený bol jeden kameň a položený na otvor jamy, a kráľ ho zapečatil svojím prsteňom a prsteňom svojich veľmožov, aby sa nič nezmenilo pri Danielovi.

18 (CPDV) And the king departed into his house, and he went to bed without eating, and food was not set before him, moreover, even sleep fled from him.
18 (ROH) Vtedy odišiel kráľ do svojho paláca a ztrávil noc v pôste ani nedal doniesť hore pred seba hudobné nástroje, áno, i spánok ušiel od neho.

19 (CPDV) Then the king, getting himself up at first light, went quickly to the den of lions.
19 (ROH) Potom vstal kráľ skoro ráno na úsvite a ponáhľajúc sa išiel k jame ľvov.

20 (CPDV) And coming near to the den, he cried out with a tearful voice to Daniel and spoke to him. “Daniel, servant of the living God, your God, whom you serve always, do you believe he has prevailed to free you from the lions?”
20 (ROH) A keď sa priblížil k jame, zavolal na Daniela žalostným hlasom. Kráľ prehovoril a riekol Danielovi: Danielu, služobníku živého Boha, či ťa mohol tvoj Bôh, ktorému slúžiš neprestajne, vyslobodiť od ľvov?

21 (CPDV) And Daniel, answering the king, said, “O king, live forever.
21 (ROH) Vtedy hovoril Daniel s kráľom a povedal: Kráľu, ži na veky!

22 (CPDV) My God has sent his angel, and he has closed the mouths of the lions, and they have not harmed me, because before him justice has been found in me, and, even before you, O king, I have committed no offense.”
22 (ROH) Môj Bôh poslal svojho anjela, ktorý zatvoril ústa ľvom, a neuškodili mi, lebo mi je najdená pred ním nevina, áno, ani pred tebou, ó, kráľu, neučinil som ničoho zlého.

23 (CPDV) Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den. And Daniel was taken out of the den, and no wound was found in him, because he believed in his God.
23 (ROH) Vtedy sa veľmi zaradoval kráľ a rozkázal vytiahnuť Daniela z jamy, a Daniel bol vytiahnutý z jamy, a nenašiel sa na ňom nijaký úraz, lebo veril v svojho Boha.

24 (CPDV) Moreover, by order of the king, those men were brought who had accused Daniel, and they 503 were cast into the lions’ den, they, and their sons, and their wives, and they did not reach the bottom of the den before the lions seized them and crushed all their bones.
24 (ROH) A kráľ rozkázal, a doviedli tých mužov, ktorí boli osočili Daniela, a hodili ich do jamy ľvov aj ich synov aj ich ženy, a ešte ani len neboli dopadli na spodok jamy, keď sa ich zmocnili ľvi a skrúšili všetky ich kosti.

25 (CPDV) Then king Darius wrote to all peoples, tribes, and languages dwelling in all the land. “May peace be increased with you.
25 (ROH) Vtedy napísal kráľ Dárius všetkým národom, ľuďom a jazykom, ktorí bývali po celej zemi: Nech je veľký váš pokoj!

26 (CPDV) It is hereby established by my decree that, in all my empire and my kingdom, they shall begin to tremble and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God forever, and his kingdom will not be destroyed, and his power will last forever.
26 (ROH) Odo mňa vyšlo nariadenie, aby v celom panstve môjho kráľovstva triasli sa a báli pred Bohom Danielovým, lebo on je živý Bôh a stojí pevne až naveky; jeho kráľovstvo je to, ktoré nebude zkazené, a jeho panstvo bude trvať až do konca.

27 (CPDV) He is the liberator and the savior, performing signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who has freed Daniel from the lions’ den.”
27 (ROH) Vyslobodzuje a vytrhuje a činí znamenia a divy na nebi a na zemi, ktorý vyslobodil Daniela z moci ľvov.

28 (CPDV) Thereafter, Daniel continued through the reign of Darius until the reign of Cyrus, the Persian.
28 (ROH) A tomuto Danielovi sa dobre vodilo i v kráľovstve Dáriovom i v kráľovstve Peržana Cýra.
