STORY 79 Daniel in the Lions’ Pit OH, OH! It looks as if Daniel is in a lot of trouble. But the lions are not hurting him! Do you know why? Who put Daniel in here with all these lions? Let’s find out. The king of Babylon is now a man named Da·riʹus. He likes Daniel very much because Daniel is so kind and wise. Da·riʹus chooses Daniel to be a chief ruler in his kingdom. This makes other men in the kingdom jealous of Daniel, so this is what they do. They go to Da·riʹus and say: ‘We have agreed, O king, that you should make a law saying that for 30 days no one should pray to any god or man except to you, O king. If anyone disobeys, then he should be thrown in with the lions.’ Da·riʹus does not know why these men want this law made. But he thinks it is a good idea, so he puts the law into writing. Now the law cannot be changed. When Daniel learns about the law, he goes home and prays, just as he always has done. The bad men knew that Daniel would not stop praying to Jehovah. They are happy, because it seems that their plan to get rid of Daniel is working. When King Da·riʹus learns why these men wanted to make this law, he is very sorry. But he cannot change the law, so he has to give the command for Daniel to be thrown into the lions’ pit. But the king tells Daniel: ‘I hope that your God, whom you serve, will save you.’ Da·riʹus is so upset he can’t sleep that night. The next morning he runs to the lions’ pit. You can see him there. He cries out: ‘Daniel, servant of the living God! Was the God whom you serve able to save you from the lions?’ ‘God sent his angel,’ Daniel answers, ‘and shut the mouths of the lions so that they did not hurt me.’ The king is very glad. He commands that Daniel be lifted out of the pit. Then he has the bad men who tried to get rid of Daniel thrown to the lions. Even before they reach the bottom of the pit, the lions grab them and break all their bones. Then King Da·riʹus writes to all the people in his kingdom: ‘I command that everyone should respect Daniel’s God. He does great miracles. He saved Daniel from being eaten by the lions.’

PRIČA Danijel u lavskoj jami OH, OH! Izgleda da je Danijel u velikoj neprilici. Ali lavovi mu ne čine ništa nažao. Znaš li zašto? Tko je stavio Danijela ovdje sa svim lavovima? Da vidimo. Kralj Babilona bio je sada čovjek imenom Darije. Vrlo je volio Danijela, jer je bio dobar i mudar. Darije je odabrao Danijela da bude glavni upravitelj u njegovom kraljevstvu. To je ostale u kraljevstvu činilo ljubomornima na Danijela i stoga su učinili sljedeće. Otišli su Dariju i rekli: “Složili smo se, o kralju, da bi trebao načiniti zakon koji kaže da se 30 dana nitko ne smije moliti ni jednom bogu osim tebi, o kralju. Ako bilo tko ne posluša, neka bude bačen u lavsku jamu.” Darije nije znao zašto oni traže da se napravi takav zakon. Ali mislio je da je to dobra ideja i zato ga je dao zapisati. Sada zakon nije više mogao biti izmijenjen. Kad je Danijel čuo za to, otišao je kući i molio kao što je to i uvijek činio. Zli su ljudi znali da Danijel neće prestati s molitvama Jehovi. Bili su sretni jer je izgledalo da će se njihovi planovi da se oslobode Danijela, ostvariti. Kad je kralj Darije saznao zašto su oni ljudi željeli da načini takav zakon, bilo mu je vrlo žao. Ali nije mogao promijeniti zakon, stoga je morao zapovijediti da bace Danijela u lavsku jamu. Ali kralj je rekao Danijelu: “Nadam se da će te tvoj Bog, kojem služiš, izbaviti.” Darije je bio toliko uzbuđen, da nije mogao spavati te noći. Idućeg jutra otrčao je do lavske jame. Videći ga tamo, viknuo je: “Danijele, slugo živog Boga! Je li te Bog kome služiš mogao spasiti od lavova?” “Bog je poslao svog anđela”, rekao je Danijel, “i zatvorio usta lavova tako da me nisu ozlijedili.” Kralj je bio vrlo sretan. Zapovijedio je da izvuku Danijela iz jame. Tada je zle ljude koji su se željeli osloboditi Danijela, bacio lavovima. I prije nego što su dotakli dno jame, lavovi su ih zgrabili i samljeli im kosti. Kralj Darije zapisao je za sve ljude u kraljevstvu: “Zapovijedam da svi trebaju poštivati Danijelovog Boga. Učinio je veliko čudo. Spasio je Danijela da ne bude rastrgan od lavova.”
