| 1 ἐκ προφητείας Ἀμβακοὺμ υἱοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Λευὶ | 1 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀστυάγης προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ παρέλαβεν Κῦρος ὁ Πέρσης τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ |
| 1 From a prophecy of Hambakoum the son of Jesous of the tribe of Levi. | 1 And King Astyagēs was added to his ancestors, and Cyrus the Persian received his kingdom. |
| 2 ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν ἱερεύς ᾧ ὄνομα Δανιὴλ υἱὸς Ἀβὰλ συμβιωτὴς τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος | 2 καὶ ἦν Δανιὴλ συμβιωτὴς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔνδοξος ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς φίλους αὐτοῦ |
| 2 There was a certain man, a priest, whose name was Daniēl, son of Abal, a companion of the king of Babylōn. | 2 And Daniēl was a companion of the king and was honored beyond all his friends. |
| 3 καὶ ἦν εἴδωλον Βὴλ ὃ ἐσέβοντο οἱ Βαβυλώνιοι ἀνηλίσκετο δὲ αὐτῷ καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν σεμιδάλεως ἀρτάβαι δέκα δύο καὶ πρόβατα τέσσαρα καὶ ἐλαίου μετρηταὶ ἕξ | 3 καὶ ἦν εἴδωλον τοῖς Βαβυλωνίοις ᾧ ὄνομα Βὴλ καὶ ἐδαπανῶντο εἰς αὐτὸν ἑκάστης ἡμέρας σεμιδάλεως ἀρτάβαι δώδεκα καὶ πρόβατα τεσσαράκοντα καὶ οἴνου μετρηταὶ ἕξ |
| 3 And there was an idol, Bēl, which the Babylōnians were worshipping. Now, every day they were squandering on it twelve bushels of choice flour and four sheep and six measures of oil. | 3 And the Babylōnians had an idol, whose name was Bēl, and each day they would spend on him twelve bushels of choice flour and forty sheep and six measures of wine. |
| 4 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐσέβετο αὐτόν καὶ ἐπορεύετο ὁ βασιλεὺς καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν καὶ προσεκύνει αὐτῷ Δανιὴλ δὲ προσηύχετο πρὸς κύριον | 4 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐσέβετο αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπορεύετο καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν προσκυνεῖν αὐτῷ Δανιὴλ δὲ προσεκύνει τῷ θεῷ αὐτοῦ |
| 4 And the king would revere it, and the king would go every day and would do obeisance to it. But Daniēl would pray to the Lord. | 4 And the king would revere him and would go every day to do obeisance to him. But Daniēl kept doing obeisance to his God. |
| 5 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Δανιὴλ διὰ τί οὐ προσκυνεῖς τῷ Βὴλ καὶ εἶπε Δανιὴλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα οὐδένα σέβομαι ἐγὼ εἰ μὴ κύριον τὸν θεὸν τὸν κτίσαντα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἔχοντα πάσης σαρκὸς κυριείαν | 5 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς διὰ τί οὐ προσκυνεῖς τῷ Βὴλ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὅτι οὐ σέβομαι εἴδωλα χειροποίητα ἀλλὰ τὸν ζῶντα θεὸν τὸν κτίσαντα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἔχοντα πάσης σαρκὸς κυριείαν |
| 5 And the king said to Daniēl, “Why do you not do obeisance to Bēl?” And Daniēl said to the king, “I revere no one except the Lord God, who created heaven and earth and has authority over all flesh.” | 5 And the king said to him, “Why do you not do obeisance to Bēl?” So he answered, “Because I do not revere idols made with hands, but the living God, who created heaven and earth and has dominion over all flesh.” |
| 6 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτῷ οὗτος οὖν οὐκ ἔστι θεός οὐχ ὁρᾷς ὅσα εἰς αὐτὸν δαπανᾶται καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν | 6 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς οὐ δοκεῖ σοὶ Βὴλ εἶναι ζῶν θεός ἦ οὐχ ὁρᾷς ὅσα ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν |
| 6 So the king said to him, “Is this one, then, not a god? Do you not see how much is spent for him every day?” | 6 And the king said to him, “Do you not think that Bēl is a living god? Or do you not see how much he eats and drinks every day?” |
| 7 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δανιὴλ μηδαμῶς μηδείς σὲ παραλογιζέσθω οὗτος γὰρ ἔσωθεν μὲν πήλινός ἐστιν ἔξωθεν δὲ χαλκοῦς ὀμνύω δέ σοὶ κύριον τὸν θεὸν τῶν θεῶν ὅτι οὐθὲν βέβρωκε πώποτε οὗτος | 7 καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ γελάσας μὴ πλανῶ βασιλεῦ οὗτος γὰρ ἔσωθεν μέν ἐστι πηλὸς ἔξωθεν δὲ χαλκὸς καὶ οὐ βέβρωκεν οὐδὲ πέπωκεν πώποτε |
| 7 And Daniēl said to him, “Not at all! Do not let anyone mislead you, for this one is only of clay inside and bronze outside. Moreover, I swear to you by the Lord God of the gods that this one has never eaten anything.” | 7 And laughing, Daniēl said, “Do not be deceived, Oh king, for this one is only clay inside and bronze outside, and he has never eaten nor drunk anything.” |
| 8 καὶ θυμωθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκάλεσε τοὺς προεστηκότας τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς παραδείξατε τὸν ἐσθίοντα τὰ παρασκευαζόμενα τῷ Βὴλ εἰ δὲ μή γε ἀποθανεῖσθε ἢ Δανιὴλ ὁ φάσκων μὴ ἐσθίεσθαι αὐτὰ ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτὸς ὁ Βὴλ ἐστὶν ὁ κατεσθίων αὐτά | 8 καὶ θυμωθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἐὰν μὴ εἴπητέ μοι τίς ὁ κατέσθων τὴν δαπάνην ταύτην ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐὰν δὲ δείξητε ὅτι Βὴλ κατεσθίει αὐτά ἀποθανεῖται Δανιὴλ ὅτι ἐβλασφήμησεν εἰς τὸν Βὴλ |
| 8 And angered, the king called the leaders of the temple and said to them, “Produce the one who eats the things prepared for Bēl. But if not, you shall die, or Daniēl, who says they are not being eaten by him.” But they said, “It is Bēl himself who eats them.” | 8 And angered, the king called his priests and said to them, “If you do not tell me who is eating this provision, you shall die. But if you show that Bēl is eating them, Daniēl shall die, because he has spoken blasphemy against Bēl.” |
| 9 εἶπε δὲ Δανιὴλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα γινέσθω οὕτως ἐὰν μὴ παραδείξω ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Βὴλ ὁ κατεσθίων ταῦτα ἀποθανοῦμαι καὶ πάντες οἱ παρ’ ἐμοῦ ἦσαν δὲ τῷ Βὴλ ἱερεῖς ἑβδομήκοντα χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ τέκνων | 9 καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ τῷ βασιλεῖ γινέσθω κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου καὶ ἦσαν ἱερεῖς τοῦ Βὴλ ἑβδομήκοντα ἐκτὸς γυναικῶν καὶ τέκνων |
| 9 Then Daniēl said to the king, “Let it be so. Unless I prove that Bēl is not eating them, I shall die, and all those with me.” Now there were seventy priests of Bēl, not counting wives and children. | 9 And Daniēl said to the king, “Let it be done according to your word.” And there were seventy priests of Bēl, apart from wives and children. |
| 10 ἤγαγον δέ τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸ εἰδώλιον | 10 καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς μετὰ Δανιὴλ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Βὴλ |
| 10 So he brought the king into the idol’s temple. | 10 And the king went with Daniēl into the house of Bēl. |
| 11 καὶ παρετέθη τὰ βρώματα ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοῦ Δανιὴλ καὶ οἶνος κερασθεὶς εἰσηνέχθη καὶ παρετέθη τῷ Βὴλ καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ σὺ αὐτὸς ὁρᾷς ὅτι κεῖται ταῦτα βασιλεῦ σὺ οὖν ἐπισφράγισαι τὰς κλεῖδας τοῦ ναοῦ ἐπὰν κλεισθῇ | 11 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τοῦ Βὴλ ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀποτρέχομεν ἔξω σὺ δέ βασιλεῦ παράθες τὰ βρώματα καὶ τὸν οἶνον κεράσας θὲς καὶ ἀπόκλεισον τὴν θύραν καὶ σφράγισον τῷ δακτυλίῳ σου καὶ ἐλθὼν πρωῒ ἐὰν μὴ εὕρῃς πάντα βεβρωμένα ὑπὸ τοῦ Βὴλ ἀποθανούμεθα ἢ Δανιὴλ ὁ ψευδόμενος καθ’ ἡμῶν |
| 11 And the food was set out in the presence of the king and Daniēl, and the mixed wine was brought in and set out before Bēl. And Daniēl said, “You, yourself, see, O king, that these things are set down. You, then, seal the bolts of the shrine when it is closed.” | 11 And the priests of Bēl said, “Look, we are now going outside; so you, Oh king, set out the food, and place the wine when you have mixed it, and shut the door, and seal it with your signet. And when you return in the morning, if you do not find everything eaten by Bēl, we will die, or Daniēl, who is telling lies against us.” |
| 12 N/A | 12 αὐτοὶ δὲ κατεφρόνουν ὅτι πεποιήκεισαν ὑπὸ τὴν τράπεζαν κεκρυμμένην εἴσοδον καὶ δι’ αὐτῆς εἰσεπορεύοντο διόλου καὶ ἀνήλουν αὐτά |
| 12 N/A | 12 Now they were contemptuous, for beneath the table they had made a hidden entrance, and they used to go through it regularly and consume them. |
| 13 ἤρεσε δὲ ὁ λόγος τῷ βασιλεῖ | 13 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξήλθοσαν ἐκεῖνοι καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς παρέθηκεν τὰ βρώματα τῷ Βὴλ |
| 13 Now the word pleased the king. | 13 And it happened as they had gone out, the king also set out the food for Bēl. |
| 14 ὁ δὲ Δανιὴλ ἐκέλευσε τοὺς παρ’ αὐτοῦ ἐκβαλόντας πάντας ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ κατασῆσαι ὅλον τὸν ναὸν σποδῷ οὐθενὸς τῶν ἐκτὸς αὐτοῦ εἰδότος καὶ τότε τὸν ναὸν ἐκέλευσε σφραγίσαι τῷ τοῦ βασιλέως δακτυλίῳ καὶ τοῖς δακτθλίοις τινῶν ἐνδόξων ἱερέων καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως | 14 καὶ ἐπέταξεν Δανιὴλ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤνεγκαν τέφραν καὶ κατέσησαν ὅλον τὸν ναὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως μόνου καὶ ἐξελθόντες ἔκλεισαν τὴν θύραν καὶ ἐσφραγίσαντο ἐν τῷ δακτυλίῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἀπῆλθον |
| 14 Now Daniēl commanded those with him, after everyone departed from the temple, to strew the whole shrine with ashes, though no one else except him knew. And then, as he sealed the shrine, he commanded that it be sealed with the king’s signet and with the signets of certain illustrious priests. And so it happened. | 14 And Daniēl ordered his servants, and they brought ashes, and they strewed the whole shrine in the presence of the king alone. And as they went out they shut the door and sealed it with the king’s signet and departed. |
| 15 N/A | 15 οἱ δὲ ἱερεῖς ἦλθον τὴν νύκτα κατὰ τὸ ἔθος αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ κατέφαγον πάντα καὶ ἐξέπιον |
| 15 N/A | 15 Then the priests came during the night according to their custom, and their wives and children, and they ate and drank everything. |
| 16 N/A | 16 καὶ ὤρθρισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ πρωῒ καὶ Δανιὴλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ |
| 16 N/A | 16 And the king readied early in the morning, and Daniēl with him. |
| 17 καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἐπαύριον παρεγένοντο ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον οἱ δὲ ἱερεῖς τοῦ Βὴλ διὰ ψευδοθυρίδων εἰσελθόντες κατεφάγοσαν πάντα τὰ παρακείμενα τῷ Βὴλ καὶ ἐξέπιον τὸν οἶνον καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ ἐπίδετε τὰς σφραγῖδας ὑμῶν εἰ μένουσιν ἄνδρες ἱερεῖς καὶ σὺ δέ βασιλεῦ σκέψαι μή τί σοὶ ἀσύμφωνον γεγένηται καὶ εὗρον ὡς ἦν ἡ σφραγίς καὶ ἀπέβαλον τὴν σφραγῖδα | 17 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς σῷοι αἱ σφραγῖδες Δανιὴλ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν σῷοι βασιλεῦ |
| 17 And it happened on the next day that they went to the place. (But the priests of Bēl, after entering through false doors, had eaten everything laid out for Bēl and had drunk the wine.) And Daniēl said, “Men, priests, examine your seals, whether they remain. And you also, O king, observe carefully lest anything be out of order to you.” And they found the seal as it was, and they broke the seal. | 17 And he said, “Are the seals unbroken, Daniēl?” Then he said, “They are unbroken, Oh king.” |
| 18 καὶ ἀνοίξαντες τὰς θύρας εἴδοσαν δεδαπανημένα πάντα τὰ παρατεθέντα καὶ τὰς τραπέζας κενάς καὶ ἐχάρη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν Δανιὴλ μέγας ἐστὶν ὁ Βὴλ καὶ οὐκ ἔστι παρ’ αὐτῷ δόλος | 18 καὶ ἐγένετο ἅμα τῷ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς θύρας ἐπιβλέψας ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν ἐβόησεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ μέγας εἶ Βὴλ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν παρὰ σοὶ δόλος οὐδὲ εἷς |
| 18 And when they opened the doors, they saw everything that had been set out consumed and the tables empty. And the king was thrilled and said to Daniēl, “Bēl is great, and there is no deceit in him!” | 18 And it happened as soon as the doors opened, when the king looked at the table he shouted in a loud voice, “You are great, Oh Bēl, and there is no deceit in you, not one!” |
| 19 καὶ ἐγέλασε Δανιὴλ σφόδρα καὶ εἶπεν τῷ βασιλεῖ δεῦρο ἰδὲ τὸν δόλον τῶν ἱερέων καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ βασιλεῦ ταῦτα τὰ ἴχνη τίνος ἐστί | 19 καὶ ἐγέλασεν Δανιὴλ καὶ ἐκράτησεν τὸν βασιλέα τοῦ μὴ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτὸν ἔσω καὶ εἶπεν ἰδὲ δὴ τὸ ἔδαφος καὶ γνῶθι τίνος τὰ ἴχνη ταῦτα |
| 19 And Daniēl laughed exceedingly and said to the king, “Come, see the deceit of the priests.” And Daniēl said, “O king, these footprints, whose are they?” | 19 And Daniēl laughed and restrained the king so that he could not enter inside and said, “Look now at the floor, and notice whose footprints these are.” |
| 20 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς ἀνδρῶν καὶ γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων | 20 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς ὁρῶ τὰ ἴχνη ἀνδρῶν καὶ γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων |
| 20 And the king said, “Of men and women and children.” | 20 And the king said, “I see the footprints of men and women and children.” |
| 21 καὶ ἐπῆλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον ἐν ᾧ ἦσαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καταγινόμενοι καὶ εὗρε τὰ βρώματα τοῦ Βὴλ καὶ τὸν οἶνον καὶ ἐπέδειξε Δανιὴλ τῷ βασιλεῖ τὰ ψευδοθύρια δι’ ὧν εἰσπορευόμενοι οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐδαπάνων τὰ παρατιθέμενα τῷ Βὴλ | 21 καὶ ὀργισθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς τότε συνέλαβεν τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδειξαν αὐτῷ τὰς κρυπτὰς θύρας δι’ ὧν εἰσεπορεύοντο καὶ ἐδαπάνων τὰ ἐπὶ τῇ τραπέζῃ |
| 21 And he went to the house where the priests were staying, and they found Bēl’s food and the wine. And Daniēl showed the king the false doors through which the priests would enter and consume what was set out for Bēl. | 21 And enraged, the king then arrested the priests and their wives and children. And they showed him the hidden doors through which they used to enter and consume what was on the table. |
| 22 καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκ τοῦ Βηλίου καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς τῷ Δανιὴλ καὶ τὴν δαπάνην τὴν εἰς αὐτὸν ἔδωκε τῷ Δανιὴλ τὸν δὲ Βὴλ κατέστρεψε | 22 καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἔδωκεν τὸν Βὴλ ἔκδοτον τῷ Δανιὴλ καὶ κατέστρεψεν αὐτὸν καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν αὐτοῦ |
| 22 And the king brought them out of Bēl’s temple and handed them over to Daniēl. And he gave the provision that was for him to Daniēl, but he destroyed Bēl. | 22 And the king killed them and gave Bēl entirely over to Daniēl. And he destroyed him and his temple. |
| 23 καὶ ἦν δράκων ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ τόπῳ καὶ ἐσέβοντο αὐτὸν οἱ Βαβυλώνιοι | 23 καὶ ἦν δράκων μέγας καὶ ἐσέβοντο αὐτὸν οἱ Βαβυλώνιοι |
| 23 And there was a dragon in that same place, and the Babylōnians would revere it. | 23 And there was a great dragon, and the Babylōnians used to revere it. |
| 24 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Δανιὴλ μὴ καὶ τοῦτον ἐρεῖς ὅτι χαλκοῦς ἐστιν ἰδοὺ ζῇ καὶ ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει προσκύνησον αὐτῷ | 24 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Δανιὴλ οὐ δύνασαι εἰπεῖν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν οὗτος θεὸς ζῶν καὶ προσκύνησον αὐτῷ |
| 24 And the king said to Daniēl, “Surely you shall not also say about this one, that he is bronze! Look, he loves and eats and drinks! Do obeisance to him.” | 24 And the king said to Daniēl, “You cannot say that this is not a living god; so do obeisance to it.” |
| 25 καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ βασιλεῦ δός μοι τὴν ἐξουσίαν καὶ ἀνελῶ τὸν δράκοντα ἄνευ σιδήρου καὶ ῥάβδου | 25 καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ μου προσκυνήσω ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν θεὸς ζῶν σὺ δέ βασιλεῦ δός μοι ἐξουσίαν καὶ ἀποκτενῶ τὸν δράκοντα ἄνευ μαχαίρας καὶ ῥάβδου |
| 25 And Daniēl said, “O king, give me permission, and I will slay the dragon without iron or club.” | 25 And Daniēl said, “I will do obeisance to the Lord my God, because he is a living God. But you, Oh king, give me permission, and I shall kill the dragon without iron or rod.” |
| 26 καὶ συνεχώρησεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ δέδοταί σοὶ | 26 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς δίδωμί σοὶ |
| 26 And the king agreed with him and said, “I have given it to you.” | 26 And the king said, “I give it to you.” |
| 27 καὶ λαβὼν ὁ Δανιὴλ πίσσης μνᾶς τριάκοντα καὶ στέαρ καὶ τρίχας ἥψησεν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ ἐποίησε μάζαν καὶ ἐνέβαλεν εἰς τὸ στόμα τοῦ δράκοντος καὶ φαγὼν διερράγη καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτὸν τῷ βασιλεῖ λέγων οὐ ταῦτα σέβεσθε βασιλεῦ | 27 καὶ ἔλαβεν Δανιὴλ πίσσαν καὶ στῆρ καὶ τρίχας καὶ ἥψησεν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ ἐποίησεν μάζας καὶ ἔδωκεν εἰς τὸ στόμα τοῦ δράκοντος καὶ φαγὼν διερράγη ὁ δράκων καὶ εἶπεν ἴδετε τὰ σεβάσματα ὑμῶν |
| 27 And taking thirty minas of pitch and fat and hair, Daniēl boiled them together, and having made a cake, he threw it into the mouth of the dragon. And after eating, it burst open. And he showed it to the king, saying, “Aren’t these the things you revere, O king?” | 27 And Daniēl took pitch and fat and hair and boiled them together and made cakes and gave thema into the mouth of the dragon. And after eating the dragon burst open. And he said, “See your objects of reverence!” |
| 28 καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς χώρας πάντες ἐπὶ τὸν Δανιὴλ καὶ εἶπαν Ἰουδαῖος γέγονεν ὁ βασιλεύς τὸν Βὴλ κατέστρεψε καὶ τὸν δράκοντα ἀπέκτεινε | 28 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσαν οἱ Βαβυλώνιοι ἠγανάκτησαν λίαν καὶ συνεστράφησαν ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπαν Ἰουδαῖος γέγονεν ὁ βασιλεύς τὸν Βὴλ κατέσπασεν καὶ τὸν δράκοντα ἀπέκτεινεν καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς κατέσφαξεν |
| 28 And all those from the country assembled against Daniēl and said, “The king has just now become a Judaean. He has destroyed Bēl and killed the dragon.” | 28 And it happened when the Babylōnians heard, they were very indignant and conspired against the king and said, “The king has become a Judean; he has destroyed Bēl and killed the dragon and slaughtered the priests.” |
| 29 N/A | 29 καὶ εἶπαν ἐλθόντες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα παράδος ἡμῖν τὸν Δανιὴλ εἰ δὲ μή ἀποκτενοῦμέν σὲ καὶ τὸν οἶκόν σου |
| 29 N/A | 29 And when they came to the king, they said, “Hand Daniēl over to us, and if not, we will kill you and your household.” |
| 30 καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ βασιλεὺς ὅτι ἐπισυνήχθη ὁ ὄχλος τῆς χώρας ἐπ’ αὐτόν ἐκάλεσε τοὺς συμβιωτὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν δίδωμι τὸν Δανιὴλ εἰς ἀπώλειαν | 30 καὶ εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ὅτι ἐπείγουσιν αὐτὸν σφόδρα καὶ ἀναγκασθεὶς παρέδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Δανιὴλ |
| 30 And when the king saw that the crowd from the country had united against him, he called his companions and said, “I am giving Daniēl over for destruction.” | 30 And the king saw that they were pressing him hard, and having been compelled, he handed Daniēl over to them. |
| 31 N/A | 31 οἱ δὲ ἐνέβαλον αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν λάκκον τῶν λεόντων καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας ἕξ |
| 31 N/A | 31 So they threw him into the lions’ pit, and he was there six days. |
| 32 ἦν δὲ λάκκος ἐν ᾧ ἐτρέφοντο λέοντες ἑπτά οἷς παρεδίδοντο οἱ ἐπίβουλοι τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐχορηγεῖτο αὐτοῖς καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν τῶν ἐπιθανατίων σώματα δύο καὶ ἐνεβάλοσαν τὸν Δανιὴλ οἱ ὄχλοι εἰς ἐκεῖνον τὸν λάκκον ἵνα καταβρωθῇ καὶ μηδὲ ταφῆς τύχῃ καὶ ἦν ἐν τῷ λάκκῳ Δανιὴλ ἡμέρας ἕξ | 32 ἦσαν δὲ ἐν τῷ λάκκῳ ἑπτὰ λέοντες καὶ ἐδίδετο αὐτοῖς τὴν ἡμέραν δύο σώματα καὶ δύο πρόβατα τότε δὲ οὐκ ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἵνα καταφάγωσιν τὸν Δανιὴλ |
| 32 Now, there was a pit in which seven lions would be fed, to which the conspirators of the king would be delivered. And every day two bodies condemned to death would be provided for them. And the crowd threw Daniēl into that pit so that he might be devoured and not even have the good fortune of a burial. And Daniēl was in the pit six days. | 32 Now there were seven lions in the pit, and daily two bodies and two sheep were given to them, but then nothing was given to them so that they would devour Daniēl. |
| 33 καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἕκτῃ καὶ ἦν Ἀμβακοὺμ ἔχων ἄρτους ἐντεθρυμμένους ἐν σκάφῃ ἐν ἑψήματι καὶ στάμνον οἴνου κεκερασμένου καὶ ἐπορεύετο εἰς τὸ πεδίον πρὸς τοὺς θεριστάς | 33 καὶ ἦν Ἀμβακοὺμ ὁ προφήτης ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ καὶ αὐτὸς ἥψησεν ἕψεμα καὶ ἐνέθρυψεν ἄρτους εἰς σκάφην καὶ ἐπορεύετο εἰς τὸ πεδίον ἀπενέγκαι τοῖς θερισταῖς |
| 33 And it happened on the sixth day, and Hambakoum was having bread broken in a bowl of boiled soup and a jar of mixed wine and was on his way to the plain to the reapers. | 33 And the prophet Hambakoum was in Judea, and he had boiled a stew and broken bread into a bowl, and was on his way to the plain to take it to the reapers. |
| 34 καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Ἀμβακοὺμ λέγων τάδε λέγει σοὶ κύριος ὁ θεός τὸ ἄριστον ὃ ἔχεις ἀπένεγκε Δανιὴλ εἰς τὸν λάκκον τῶν λεόντων ἐν Βαβυλῶνι | 34 καὶ εἶπεν ἄγγελος κυρίου τῷ Ἀμβακοὺμ ἀπένεγκε τὸ ἄριστον ὃ ἔχεις εἰς Βαβυλῶνα τῷ Δανιὴλ εἰς τὸν λάκκον τῶν λεόντων |
| 34 And an angel of the Lord spoke to Hambakoum, saying, “This is what God says to you: the food that you have, take it to Daniēl in the lion’s pit in Babylōn.” | 34 And an angel of the Lord said to Hambakoum, “Take the food that you have to Babylōn to Daniēl, in the lions’ den.” |
| 35 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμβακοὺμ κύριε ὁ θεός οὐχ ἑώρακα τὴν Βαβυλῶνα καὶ τὸν λάκκον οὐ γινώσκω ποῦ ἐστι | 35 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμβακοὺμ κύριε Βαβυλῶνα οὐχ ἑώρακα καὶ τὸν λάκκον οὐ γινώσκω |
| 35 And Hambakoum said, “Lord God, I have not seen Babylōn, and I do not know where the pit is.” | 35 And Hambakoum said, “Lord, I have not seen Babylōn, and I do not know about the pit.” |
| 36 καὶ ἐπιλαβόμενος αὐτοῦ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου τοῦ Ἀμβακοὺμ τῆς κόμης αὐτοῦ τῆς κεφαλῆς ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐπάνω τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι | 36 καὶ ἐπελάβετο ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου τῆς κορυφῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ βαστάσας τῆς κόμης τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα ἐπάνω τοῦ λάκκου ἐν τῷ ῥοίζῳ τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ |
| 36 And when the angel of the Lord had taken Hambakoum by the hair of his head, he set him down above the pit that was in Babylōn. | 36 And the angel of the Lord took hold of the crown of his head and, carrying him by the hair of his head, set him down in Babylōn above the pit in a rush of his spirit. |
| 37 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμβακοὺμ πρὸς Δανιὴλ ἀναστὰς φάγε τὸ ἄριστον ὃ ἀπέστειλέ σοὶ κύριος ὁ θεός | 37 καὶ ἐβόησεν Ἀμβακοὺμ λέγων Δανιὴλ Δανιὴλ λαβὲ τὸ ἄριστον ὃ ἀπέστειλέν σοὶ ὁ θεός |
| 37 And Hambakoum said to Daniēl, “Rise! Eat the food that God has sent you.” | 37 And Hambakoum shouted, saying, “Daniēl, Daniēl! Take the food that God has sent you.” |
| 38 καὶ εἶπε Δανιὴλ ἐμνήσθη γάρ μου κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ μὴ ἐγκαταλείπων τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτόν | 38 καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ ἐμνήσθης γάρ μου ὁ θεός καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες τοὺς ἀγαπῶντάς σὲ |
