Da govna guys gotta tell da supavisa guys eryting dey stay do, fo da king no need worry notting. 3 Da guy Daniel, he come mo betta den all da odda supavisa guys an govna guys. An cuz inside him, he stay real good, da king make one plan fo put Daniel in charge a da whole land wea he stay king. 4 Cuz a dat, da odda supavisa guys an da govna guys try fo find someting fo poin finga Daniel. Dey look at how he run da govmen. But dey no can find notting fo poin finga him, cuz erybody trus him an he no jam up notting. 5 Dey tell, “We no goin find notting fo poin finga Daniel, eva. Da ony ting fo poin finga him, gotta be da rules a his god, cuz da rules stay diffren!”

6 So da odda supavisa guys an all da govnas go togedda in front da king. Dey tell, “King Darius, we like fo you live foeva! 7 Us supavisa guys fo yoa land, an govna guys, an govna guys fo da districks, an all da odda govmen guys, an da older leada guys, we all wen talk.

Make um jalike one rule fo da Mede peopo an da Persia peopo, so dat no mo nobody can change da rule.” 9 Cuz a wat dey tell him, King Darius sign da paypa dat tell ony can pray to da king.

10 Wen Daniel find out dat da king sign da paypa fo da rule, he go home inside his house. Da windows fo da top room stay open an face Jerusalem. Three time ery day inside dat room, Daniel go down on top his knees fo tell God “Mahalo plenny!” cuz he do good tings. Wen he pray, he tell God he da bestes, jalike how he do befo time. 11 Den dose guys dat stay agains Daniel go his house all togedda an see him pray an aks God fo help him. 12 Az why dey go by da king an tell him bout da rule he wen write. Dey tell, “Eh!

16 So da king tell his guys fo bring Daniel. Dey throw um down inside da hole wea dey put da lions. Da king tell Daniel, “Yoa God, da One you show respeck fo real plenny, ony him can get you outa dis, cuz I no can!” 17 Da king guys bring one big stone an put um on top da puka fo go down inside da hole. Den dey put clay aroun da stone so no can open um, an da king put his mark on top da clay wit his spesho ring fo seal um. His alii guys put mark wit dea rings too, so nobody can do notting fo Daniel. 18 Den da king go back inside his palace.

19 Morning time wen get litto bit light, da king get up an he go quick by da big hole wea dey put da lions. 20 Wen he come nea da lion hole, he call Daniel wit one sad kine voice. “Daniel, da worka guy fo da God dat stay alive! Yoa God, da One you work fo erytime, he wen get you outa dis, o wat?!”
