دانيال 1
| فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، زَحَفَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرَهَا. | ١ 1 |
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
| وَأَسْلَمَ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا مَعَ بَعْضِ آنِيَةِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ، فَحَمَلَهَا مَعَهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَابِلَ وَاحْتَفَظَ بِالآنِيَةِ فِي خِزَانَةِ مَعْبَدِ إِلَهِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
And the Lord delivered into his hand Jehoiakim the king of Judah and a portion of the vessels of the house of God. And he carried them away into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasure chamber of his god.
| ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ أَشْفَنَزَ رَئِيسَ خِصْيَانِهِ أَنْ يُحْضِرَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ السُّلالَةِ الْمَلَكِيَّةِ وَمِنَ الشُّرَفَاءِ، | ٣ 3 |
And the king told Ashpenaz, the chief of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the sons of Israel, and some of the offspring of the king and of the sovereigns:
| فِتْيَاناً كَامِلِي الْخِلْقَةِ، ذَوِي جَمَالٍ، مَاهِرِينَ فِي كُلِّ صَنْعَةٍ، يَتَحَلَّوْنَ بِالْمَعْرِفَةِ وَمُتَبَحِّرِينَ فِي كُلِّ عِلْمٍ مِمَّنْ هُمْ أَهْلٌ لِلْمُثُولِ فِي قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، لِيَتَعَلَّمُوا كِتَابَةَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَلُغَتَهُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
young men, in whom there was no blemish, noble in appearance, and accomplished in all wisdom, cautious in knowledge, and well-educated, and who could stand in the palace of the king, so that he might teach them the letters and the language of the Chaldeans.
| وَعَيَّنَ الْمَلِكُ لَهُمْ مُخَصَّصَاتِ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ مِنْ أَطَايِبِ مَأْكُولاتِ الْمَلِكِ وَمِنْ خَمْرِ شَرَابِهِ، وَأَوْصَى أَنْ يَقْضُوا ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي التَّثَقُّفِ يَمْثُلُونَ فِي نِهَايَتِهَا فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ. | ٥ 5 |
And the king appointed for them provisions for each day, from his own food and from the wine which he himself drank, so that, after being nourished for three years, they would stand in the sight of the king.
| وَكَانَ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْمُنْتَخَبِينَ مِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعَةٌ هُمْ: دَانِيَالُ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلُ وَعَزَرْيَا، | ٦ 6 |
Now, among those of the sons of Judah, there were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
| فَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ أَسْمَاءَ كَلْدَانِيَّةً، فَدَعَا دَانِيَالَ بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ، وَحَنَنْيَا شَدْرَخَ، وَمِيشَائِيلَ مِيشَخَ، وَعَزَرْيَا عَبْدَنَغُوَ. | ٧ 7 |
And the chief of the eunuchs assigned names to them: to Daniel, Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.
| أَمَّا دَانِيَالُ فَقَدْ عَزَمَ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنْ لَا يَتَنَجَّسَ بِأَطَايِبِ مَأْكُولاتِ الْمَلِكِ وَلا بِخَمْرِ شَرَابِهِ، وَطَلَبَ مِنْ رَئِيسِ الْخِصْيَانِ أَنْ يَعْفِيَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. | ٨ 8 |
But Daniel resolved in his heart that he would not be polluted with the king’s meal, nor with the wine he drank, and he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not be contaminated.
| فَأَعْطَى اللهُ دَانِيَالَ حُظْوَةً وَرَحْمَةً لَدَى رَئِيسِ الْخِصْيَانِ، | ٩ 9 |
And so God gave Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the leader of the eunuchs.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ لِدَانِيَالَ: «إِنَّنِي أَخْشَى سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ الَّذِي عَيَّنَ مُخَصَّصَاتِ طَعَامِكُمْ وَشَرَابِكُمْ. فَإِذَا رَأَى وُجُوهَكُمْ أَكْثَرَ هُزَالاً مِنْ سَائِرِ رِفَاقِكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَطْعِ رَأْسِي». | ١٠ 10 |
And the leader of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed food and drink for you, who, if he should see that your faces are leaner than those of the other youths your age, you would condemn my head to the king.”
| فَقَالَ دَانِيَالُ لِلْمُشْرِفِ الَّذِي عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ بِدَانِيَالَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا: | ١١ 11 |
And Daniel said to Malasar, whom the leader of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
| «جَرِّبْ عَبِيدَكَ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَقَطْ، وَلا تُعْطِنَا سِوَى خُضْرَوَاتٍ وَمَاءٍ لِنَأْكُلَ وَنَشْرَبَ، | ١٢ 12 |
“I beg you to test us, your servants, for ten days, and let roots be given to us to eat and water to drink,
| ثُمَّ اسْتَعْرِضْنَا وَقَارِنْ بَيْنَ مَنَاظِرِنَا وَمَنَاظِرِ سَائِرِ رِفَاقِنَا الَّذِينَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْمَلِكِ، ثُمَّ تَصَرَّفْ مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا تَشْهَدُهُ». | ١٣ 13 |
and then observe our faces, and the faces of the children who eat the king’s food, and then deal with your servants according to what you see.”
| فَاسْتَجَابَ لِطِلْبَتِهِمْ وَجَرَّبَهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
When he had heard these words, he tested them for ten days.
| وَبَعْدَ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ بَدَتْ مَظَاهِرُهُمْ أَكْثَرَ عَافِيَةً وَأَوْفَرَ سِمَناً مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْفِتْيَانِ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْمَلِكِ | ١٥ 15 |
But, after ten days, their faces appeared better and fatter than all the children who had eaten from the king’s food.
| فَصَارَ الْمُشْرِفُ يَسْتَبْدِلُ مُخَصَّصَاتِ طَعَامِهِمْ وَخَمْرِ شَرَابِهِمْ بِالْخُضْرَوَاتِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Thereafter, Malasar took away their portions and their wine for drinking, and he gave them roots.
| وَوَهَبَ اللهُ أُولَئِكَ الْفِتْيَانَ الأَرْبَعَةَ مَعْرِفَةً وَعَقْلاً فِي كُلِّ ضُرُوبِ الْكِتَابَةِ وَالْعِلْمِ. وَكَانَ دَانِيَالُ فَطِناً فِي تَفْسِيرِ جَمِيعِ الرُّؤَى وَالأَحْلامِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Yet, to these children, God gave knowledge and instruction in every book, and wisdom, but to Daniel, also the understanding of all visions and dreams.
| وَحِينَ أَزِفَ وَقْتُ مُثُولِهِمْ كَأَمْرِ الْمَلِكِ، أَحْضَرَهُمْ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ أَمَامَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ، | ١٨ 18 |
And when the time was completed, after which the king had said that they would be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before the sight of Nebuchadnezzar.
| فَتَحَدَّثَ إِلَيْهِمِ الْمَلِكُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ بَيْنَهُمْ جَمِيعاً مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلُ دَانِيَالَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا، فَاخْتَارَهُمْ لِلْمُثُولِ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And, when the king conversed with them, there had not been found any so great in all the world as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; and so they stood in the sight of the king.
| وَحِينَ شَرَعَ الْمَلِكُ فِي مُبَاحَثَتِهِمْ فِي شُؤُونِ الْعُلُومِ وَالْمَعَارِفِ وَجَدَهُمْ يَفُوقُونَ بِعَشَرَةِ أَضْعَافٍ جَمِيعَ السَّحَرَةِ وَالْمَجُوسِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مَمْلَكَتِهِ كُلِّهَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
And in every concept of wisdom and understanding, about which the king consulted with them, he found them to be ten times better than all the seers and astrologers put together, who were in his entire kingdom.
| وَظَلَّ دَانِيَالُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِوِلايَةِ كُورَشَ الْمَلِكِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And so Daniel remained, even until the first year of king Cyrus.
