Dn 14:1Erat autem Daniēl convīva rēgis, et honōrātus super omnēs amīcōs ejus.Now Daniel was a table-companion of the king, and honoured above all his friends. Dn 14:2Erat quoque īdōlum apud Babylōniōs nōmine Bēl: et impendēbantur in eō per diēs singulōs similae artabae duodecim, et ovēs quadrāgintā, vīnīque amphorae sex.There was also an idol among the Babylonians named Bel: and there were spent on it each day twelve artabas of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six amphoras of wine. Dn 14:3Rēx quoque colēbat eum, et ībat per singulōs diēs adōrāre eum: porrō Daniēl adōrābat Deum suum.The king too worshipped it, and went each day to adore it: but Daniel adored his own God. Dn 14:3Dīxitque eī rēx: Quārē nōn adōrās Bēl?And the king said to him: "Why do you not adore Bel?" Dn 14:4Quī respondēns ait eī: Quia nōn colō īdōla manūfacta, sed vīventem Deum, quī creāvit caelum, et terram, et habet potestātem omnis carnis.He, answering, said to him: "Because I do not worship idols made by hand, but the living God, who created heaven, and earth, and has power over all flesh." Dn 14:5Et dīxit rēx ad eum: Nōn vidētur tibi esse Bēl vīvēns deus?And the king said to him: "Does Bel not seem to you to be a living god?

Dn 14:5An nōn vidēs quanta comedat et bibat quotīdiē?Or do you not see how much he eats and drinks every day?" Dn 14:6Et ait Daniēl arrīdēns: Nē errēs, rēx: iste enim intrīnsecus luteus est, et forīnsecus aereus, neque comedit aliquandō.And Daniel said, smiling: "Do not be mistaken, king: for this one is clay inside, and bronze outside, and he has never eaten." Dn 14:7Et īrātus rēx vocāvit sacerdōtēs ejus, et ait eīs: Nisi dīxeritis mihi quis est quī comedat impēnsās hās, moriēminī.And the king, angered, called his priests, and said to them: "Unless you tell me who it is who eats these provisions, you will die. Dn 14:8Sī autem ostenderitis quoniam Bēl comedat haec, moriētur Daniēl, quia blasphēmāvit in Bēl.But if you show that Bel eats these things, Daniel will die, because he has blasphemed against Bel." Dn 14:8Et dīxit Daniēl rēgī: Fīat jūxtā verbum tuum.And Daniel said to the king: "Let it be done according to your word." Dn 14:9Erant autem sacerdōtēs Bēl septuāgintā, exceptīs uxōribus, et parvulīs, et fīliīs.Now the priests of Bel were seventy, besides wives, and little ones, and sons. Dn 14:9Et vēnit rēx cum Daniēle in templum Bēl.And the king came with Daniel into the temple of Bel.

Dn 14:10Et dīxērunt sacerdōtēs Bēl: Ecce nōs ēgredimur forās: et tū, rēx, pōne ēscās, et vīnum miscē, et claude ōstium, et signā annulō tuō: et cum ingressus fueris māne, nisi invēneris omnia comēsta ā Bēl, morte moriēmur, vel Daniēl quī mentītus est adversum nōs.And the priests of Bel said: "Look, we are going outside: and you, king, set out the food, and mix the wine, and shut the door, and seal it with your ring: and when you have come in in the morning, unless you find everything eaten by Bel, we will die the death, or else Daniel, who has lied against us." Dn 14:12Contemnēbant autem, quia fēcerant sub mēnsā absconditum introitum, et per illum ingrediēbantur semper, et dēvorābant ea.But they made light of it, because they had made a hidden entrance under the table, and through it they were always going in, and devouring those things. Dn 14:13Factum est igitur postquam ēgressī sunt illī, rēx posuit cibōs ante Bēl: praecēpit Daniēl puerīs suīs, et attulērunt cinerem, et crībrāvit per tōtum templum cōram rēge: et ēgressī clausērunt ōstium, et signantēs annulō rēgis abiērunt.So it happened, after they had gone out, the king set the food before Bel: Daniel gave orders to his servants, and they brought ashes, and he sifted them through the whole temple before the king: and going out they shut the door, and sealing it with the king's ring they went away.

Dn 14:14Sacerdōtēs autem ingressī sunt nocte jūxtā cōnsuētūdinem suam, et uxōrēs et fīliī eōrum, et comēdērunt omnia, et bibērunt.But the priests went in by night according to their custom, and their wives and sons, and they ate everything, and drank. Dn 14:15Surrēxit autem rēx prīmō dīlūculō, et Daniēl cum eō.And the king rose at first dawn, and Daniel with him. Dn 14:16Et ait rēx: Salvane sunt signācula, Daniēl?And the king said: "Are the seals safe, Daniel?" Dn 14:16Quī respondit: Salva, rēx.He answered: "Safe, king." Dn 14:17Statimque cum aperuisset ōstium, intuitus rēx mēnsam, exclāmāvit vōce magnā: Magnus es, Bēl, et nōn est apud tē dolus quisquam.And at once, when he had opened the door, the king, looking at the table, cried out with a great voice: "Great are you, Bel, and there is no guile at all with you." Dn 14:18Et rīsit Daniēl, et tenuit rēgem nē ingrederētur intrō: et dīxit: Ecce pavīmentum: animadverte cujus vestīgia sint haec.And Daniel laughed, and held the king back from going inside: and he said: "Look at the floor: consider whose footprints these are." Dn 14:19Et dīxit rēx: Videō vestīgia virōrum, et mulierum, et īnfantium.And the king said: "I see the footprints of men, and women, and children."

Dn 14:19Et īrātus est rēx.And the king was angry. Dn 14:20Tunc apprehendit sacerdōtēs, et uxōrēs, et fīliōs eōrum: et ostendērunt eī abscondita ōstiola, per quae ingrediēbantur, et cōnsūmēbant quae erant super mēnsam.Then he seized the priests, and their wives, and sons: and they showed him the hidden little doors through which they used to go in, and consume what was on the table. Dn 14:21Occīdit ergō illōs rēx, et trādidit Bēl in potestātem Daniēlis: quī subvertit eum, et templum ejus.So the king slew them, and handed Bel over into the power of Daniel: who overturned it, and its temple. Dn 14:22Et erat dracō magnus in locō illō, et colēbant eum Babylōniī.And there was a great dragon in that place, and the Babylonians worshipped it. Dn 14:23Et dīxit rēx Daniēlī: Ecce nunc nōn potes dīcere quia iste nōn sit deus vīvēns: adōrā ergō eum.And the king said to Daniel: "Look, now you cannot say that this is not a living god: adore it therefore." Dn 14:24Dīxitque Daniēl: Dominum Deum meum adōrō, quia ipse est Deus vīvēns: iste autem nōn est deus vīvēns.And Daniel said: "The Lord my God I adore, because he is the living God: but this is not a living god.

Dn 14:25Tū autem, rēx, dā mihi potestātem, et interficiam dracōnem absque gladiō et fūste.But you, king, give me power, and I will kill the dragon without sword or club." Dn 14:25Et ait rēx: Dō tibi.And the king said: "I give it to you." Dn 14:26Tulit ergō Daniēl picem, et adipem, et pīlōs, et coxit pariter: fēcitque massās, et dedit in ōs dracōnis, et dīruptus est dracō.So Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and boiled them together: and he made lumps, and put them into the dragon's mouth, and the dragon burst apart. Dn 14:26Et dīxit: Ecce quem colēbātis.And he said: "Look at what you were worshipping." Dn 14:27Quod cum audīssent Babylōniī, indignātī sunt vehementer: et congregātī adversum rēgem, dīxērunt: Jūdaeus factus est rēx: Bēl dēstrūxit, dracōnem interfēcit, et sacerdōtēs occīdit.When the Babylonians had heard this, they were greatly indignant: and gathered against the king, they said: "The king has become a Jew: he has destroyed Bel, killed the dragon, and slain the priests." Dn 14:28Et dīxērunt cum vēnissent ad rēgem: Trāde nōbīs Daniēlem, aliōquīn interficiēmus tē, et domum tuam.And when they had come to the king, they said: "Hand Daniel over to us, otherwise we will kill you, and your house."

Dn 14:29Vīdit ergō rēx quod irruerent in eum vehementer: et necessitāte compulsus, trādidit eīs Daniēlem.So the king saw that they were pressing upon him violently: and, compelled by necessity, he handed Daniel over to them. Dn 14:30Quī mīsērunt eum in lacum leōnum, et erat ibi diēbus sex.They sent him into the pit of lions, and he was there for six days. Dn 14:31Porrō in lacū erant leōnēs septem, et dabantur eīs duo corpora quotīdiē, et duae ovēs: et tunc nōn data sunt eīs, ut dēvorārent Daniēlem.Now in the pit there were seven lions, and two bodies were given to them every day, and two sheep: and at that time they were not given to them, so that they might devour Daniel. Dn 14:32Erat autem Habacuc prophēta in Jūdaeā, et ipse coxerat pulmentum, et intrīverat pānēs in alveolō: et ībat in campum ut ferret messōribus.Now Habakkuk the prophet was in Judea, and he had cooked a stew, and had broken bread into a bowl: and he was going into the field to carry it to the reapers. Dn 14:33Dīxitque angelus Dominī ad Habacuc: Fer prandium quod habēs in Babylōnem Daniēlī, quī est in lacū leōnum.And the angel of the Lord said to Habakkuk: "Carry the lunch which you have to Babylon, to Daniel, who is in the pit of lions."

Dn 14:34Et dīxit Habacuc: Domine, Babylōnem nōn vīdī, et lacum nesciō.And Habakkuk said: "Lord, Babylon I have not seen, and the pit I do not know." Dn 14:35Et apprehendit eum angelus Dominī in vertice ejus, et portāvit eum capillō capitis suī, posuitque eum in Babylōne suprā lacum in impetū spīritūs suī.And the angel of the Lord took hold of him by the crown of his head, and carried him by the hair of his head, and set him down in Babylon above the pit, in the rush of his spirit. Dn 14:36Et clāmāvit Habacuc, dīcēns: Daniēl serve Deī, tolle prandium quod mīsit tibi Deus.And Habakkuk cried out, saying: "Daniel, servant of God, take the lunch which God has sent you." Dn 14:37Et ait Daniēl: Recordātus es meī, Deus, et nōn dērelīquistī dīligentēs tē.And Daniel said: "You have remembered me, God, and you have not forsaken those who love you." Dn 14:38Surgēnsque Daniēl comēdit.And rising, Daniel ate. Dn 14:38Porrō angelus Dominī restituit Habacuc cōnfestim in locō suō.And the angel of the Lord at once restored Habakkuk to his own place. Dn 14:39Vēnit ergō rēx diē septimō ut lūgēret Daniēlem: et vēnit ad lacum, et intrōspexit, et ecce Daniēl sedēns in mediō leōnum.So the king came on the seventh day to mourn Daniel: and he came to the pit, and looked in, and behold, Daniel sitting in the middle of the lions.

Dn 14:40Et exclāmāvit vōce magnā rēx, dīcēns: Magnus es, Domine Deus Daniēlis.And the king cried out with a great voice, saying: "Great are you, Lord God of Daniel." Dn 14:40Et extrāxit eum dē lacū leōnum.And he drew him out of the pit of lions. Dn 14:41Porrō illōs, quī perditiōnis ejus causa fuerant, intrōmīsit in lacum, et dēvorātī sunt in mōmentō cōram eō.But those who had been the cause of his ruin he put into the pit, and they were devoured in a moment before him. Dn 14:42Tunc rēx ait: Paveant omnēs habitantēs in ūniversā terrā Deum Daniēlis: quia ipse est salvātor, faciēns signa et mīrābilia in terrā: quī līberāvit Daniēlem dē lacū leōnum.Then the king said: "Let all who dwell in the whole earth be in dread of the God of Daniel: because he is the saviour, doing signs and wonders on the earth: who has freed Daniel from the pit of lions."
