Prophetia Danielis

Placuit Dario, et constituit super regnum satrapas centum viginti ut essent in toto regno suo.

It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors, to be over his whole kingdom.

Place ad Dario, et constitue super regno satrapas cento viginti ut es in toto regno suo.

Et super eos principes tres, ex quibus Daniel unus erat: ut satrapæ illis redderent rationem, et rex non sustineret molestiam.

And three princes over them of whom Daniel was one: that the governors might give an account to them, and the king might have no trouble.

Et super illos principes tre, ex que Daniele uno es: ut satrapas ad illos redde ratione, et rege non sustine molestia.

Igitur Daniel superabat omnes principes et satrapas, quia spiritus Dei amplior erat in illo.

And Daniel excelled all the princes, and governors: because a greater spirit of God was in him.

Ergo Daniele supera omni principes et satrapas, quia spiritu de Deo ampliori es in illo.

Porro rex cogitabat constituere eum super omne regnum: unde principes, et satrapæ quærebant occasionem ut invenirent Danieli ex latere regis: nullamque causam, et suspicionem reperire potuerunt, eo quod fidelis esset, et omnis culpa, et suspicio non inveniretur in eo.

And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom; whereupon the princes, and the governors, sought to find occasion against Daniel, with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was found in him.

Porro rege cogita constitue illo super omni regno: unde principes, et satrapas quaere occasione ut inveni ad Danieli ex latere de rege: et nullo causa, et suspicie reperi pote, eo quod fideli es, et omni culpa, et suspicie non inveni in eo.

Dixerunt ergo viri illi: Non inveniemus Danieli huic aliquam occasionem, nisi forte in lege Dei sui.

Then these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning the law of his God.

Viros ergo dic illo: non inveni ad Danieli ad hoc aliquo occasione, nisi forte in lege de Deo suo.

Tunc principes et satrapæ surripuerunt regi, et sic locuti sunt ei: Dari rex, in æternum vive!

Then the princes, and the governors, craftily suggested to the king, and spoke thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever:

Tunc principes et satrapas surgipi ad rege, et sic loque es ad illo: da rege, in aeterno vive!

consilium inierunt omnes principes regni tui, magistratus, et satrapæ, senatores, et judices, ut decretum imperatorium exeat, et edictum: ut omnis, qui petierit aliquam petitionem a quocumque deo et homine usque ad triginta dies, nisi a te, rex, mittatur in lacum leonum.

All the princes of the kingdom, the magistrates, and governors, the senators, and judges, have consulted together, that an imperial decree, and an edict be published: That whosoever shall ask any petition of any god, or man, for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of the lions.

Consilio intra omni principes de regno tuo, magistratus, et satrapas, senatores, et iudices, ut decreto imperatorio exi, et edicto: ut omni, qui pete aliquo petitione ab quocumque deo et homine usque ad triginta dies, nisi ab te, rege, mitte in lacu de leones.

Nunc itaque rex, confirma sententiam, et scribe decretum: ut non immutetur quod statutum est a Medis et Persis, nec prævaricari cuiquam liceat.

Now, therefore, O king, confirm the sentence, and sign the decree: that what is decreed by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor any man be allowed to transgress it.

Nunc itaque rege, confirma sententia, et scribe decreto: ut non quod statue es ab Medis et Persis immuta, nec praevaricor ad ullo lice.

Porro rex Darius proposuit edictum, et statuit.

So king Darius set forth the decree, and established it.

Porro rege Dario propone edicto, et statue.

Quod cum Daniel comperisset, id est, constitutam legem, ingressus est domum suam: et fenestris apertis in cœnaculo suo contra Jerusalem tribus temporibus in die flectebat genua sua, et adorabat, confitebaturque coram Deo suo sicut et ante facere consueverat.

Now, when Daniel knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before.

Daniele cum comperie quod, id es, constitue lege, ingredior es domo suo: et fenestro aperi in coenaculo suo contra Ierusalem tre tempore in die flecte genus suo, et adora, et confite coram Deo suo sicut et ante facere consuesce.

Viri ergo illi curiosius inquirentes invenerunt Danielem orantem, et obsecrantem Deum suum.

Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God.

Viros ergo illo curiose inquire inveni Danielia ora, et obsecra Deo suo.

Et accedentes locuti sunt regi super edicto: Rex, numquid non constituisti ut omnis homo qui rogaret quemquam de diis et hominibus usque ad dies triginta, nisi te, rex, mitteretur in lacum leonum? Ad quos respondens rex, ait: Verus est sermo juxta decretum Medorum atque Persarum, quod prævaricari non licet.

And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true, according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate.

Et accede loque es ad rege super edicto: rege, numquid non constitue ut omni homine qui roga ullo de dies et homines usque ad dies triginta, nisi te, rege, mitte in lacu de leones? Ad que respondente rege, dic: verissimo es sermone juxta decreto de Medios et de Persas, quod praevaricor non lice.

Tunc respondentes dixerunt coram rege: Daniel de filiis captivitatis Juda, non curavit de lege tua, et de edicto quod constituisti: sed tribus temporibus per diem orat obsecratione sua.

Then they answered, and said before the king: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer.

Tunc responde dic coram rege: daniele de filios de captivitate Iuda, non cura de lege tuo, et de edicto quod constitue: sed tre tempore per die ora obsecratione suo.

Quod verbum cum audisset rex, satis contristatus est: et pro Daniele posuit cor ut liberaret eum, et usque ad occasum solis laborabat ut erueret illum.

Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him, and even till sunset he laboured to save him.

Quod rege cum audi verbo, satis contrista es: et pro Daniele pone corde ut libera illo, et usque ad occasu de sole labora ut erue illo.

Viri autem illi, intelligentes regem, dixerunt ei: Scito, rex, quia lex Medorum atque Persarum est ut omne decretum, quod constituerit rex, non liceat immutari.

But those men perceiving the king's design, said to him: Know thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree which the king hath made, may be altered.

Viros autem illo, intellige rege, dic ad illo: sci, rege, quia lege de Medios et de Persas es ut omni decreto, rege constitue quod, non lice immuta.

Tunc rex præcepit, et adduxerunt Danielem, et miserunt eum in lacum leonum. Dixitque rex Danieli: Deus tuus, quem colis semper, ipse liberabit te.

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

Tunc rege praecipie, et adduce Danielia, et mitte illo in lacu de leones. Et dic rege de Daniele: deo tuo, quem cole semper, ipso libera te.

Allatusque est lapis unus, et positus est super os laci: quem obsignavit rex annulo suo, et annulo optimatum suorum, ne quid fieret contra Danielem.

And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done against Daniel.

Et ad-fer es lapide uno, et posito es super ore de lacu: rege obsigna quem annulo suo, et annulo optimato suo, ne quid fi contra Danielia.

Et abiit rex in domum suam, et dormivit incœnatus, cibique non sunt allati coram eo, insuper et somnus recessit ab eo.

And the king went away to his house, and laid himself down without taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed from him.

Et rege i ab in domo suo, et incoena dormi, et de cibo non es ad-fer coram eo, insuper et somno recede ab eo.

Tunc rex primo diluculo consurgens, festinus ad lacum leonum perrexit:

Then the king rising very early in the morning, went in haste to the lions' den:

Tunc rege primo diluculo consurge, ferti ad lacu de leones perge:

appropinquansque lacui, Danielem voce lacrimabili inclamavit, et affatus est eum: Daniel serve Dei viventis, Deus tuus, cui tu servis semper, putasne valuit te liberare a leonibus?

And coming near to the den, cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel, and said to him: Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God, whom thou servest always, been able, thinkest thou, to deliver thee from the lions?

Et appropinqua ad lacu, Danielia voce lacrimabili inclama, et ad-fer es illo: daniele servo de Deo vive, Deo tuo, ad que te ad servos semper, puta vale te libera ab leones?

Et Daniel regi respondens ait: Rex, in æternum vive!

And Daniel answering the king, said: O king, live for ever:

Et Daniele ad rege respondente dic: rege, in aeterno vive!

Deus meus misit angelum suum, et conclusit ora leonum, et non nocuerunt mihi: quia coram eo justitia inventa est in me: sed et coram te, rex, delictum non feci.

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath been found in me: yea, and before thee, O king, I have done no offence.

Deo meo mitte angelo suo, et conclude ores de leones, et non noce ad me: quia coram eo iustitia inveni es in me: sed et coram te, rege, fac non delicto.

Tunc vehementer rex gavisus est super eo, et Danielem præcepit educi de lacu: eductusque est Daniel de lacu, et nulla læsio inventa est in eo, quia credidit Deo suo.

Then was the king exceeding 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 hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God.

Tunc vehementer rege gaude es super eo, et Danielia praecipie educe de lacu: et educe es Daniele de lacu, et nullo laesione inveni es in eo, quia crede ad Deo suo.

Jubente autem rege, adducti sunt viri illi, qui accusaverant Danielem: et in lacum leonum missi sunt, ipsi, et filii, et uxores eorum: et non pervenerunt usque ad pavimentum laci, donec arriperent eos leones, et omnia ossa eorum comminuerunt.

And by the king's commandment, those men were brought that had accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions' den, they and their children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den, before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces.

Iube autem rege, adduce es viros illo, qui accusa Danielia: et in lacu de leones mitte es, ipso, et filios, et uxores de illos: et non perveni usque ad pavimento de lacu, usque que leones arripie illos, et omni ores de illos comminue.

Tunc Darius rex scripsit universis populis, tribubus, et linguis habitantibus in universa terra: Pax vobis multiplicetur.

Then king Darius wrote to all people, tribes, and languages, dwelling in the whole earth: PEACE be multiplied unto you.

Tunc Dario rege scribe universa ad populos, tribus, et linguas habita in universa terra: pace ad vos multiplica.

A me constitutum est decretum, ut in universo imperio et regno meo, tremiscant et paveant Deum Danielis: ipse est enim Deus vivens, et æternus in sæcula, et regnum ejus non dissipabitur, et potestas ejus usque in æternum.

It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever.

Ab me constitue es decerne, ut in universa imperio et regno meo, tremiscor et pave Deo de Daniele: ipso es nam Deo vivente, et aeterno in saeculos, et regno de illo non dissipa, et potestate de illo usque in aeterno.

Ipse liberator atque salvator, faciens signa et mirabilia in cælo et in terra: qui liberavit Danielem de lacu leonum.

He is the deliverer, and saviour, doing signs and wonders in heaven, and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions' den.

Ipso liberatore et salvatore, faciente signos et mirabili in caelo et in terra: qui libera Danielia de lacu de leones.

Porro Daniel perseveravit usque ad regnum Darii, regnumque Cyri Persæ.

Now Daniel continued unto the reign of Darius, and the reign of Cyrus, the Persian.

Porro Daniele persevera usque ad regno de Dario, et regno de Cyro Persas.
