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 |
The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. He brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
| ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ أَشْفَنَزَ رَئِيسَ خِصْيَانِهِ أَنْ يُحْضِرَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ السُّلالَةِ الْمَلَكِيَّةِ وَمِنَ الشُّرَفَاءِ، | ٣ 3 |
The king spoke to Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, even of the royal offspring and of the nobles:
| 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 |
youths in whom was no defect, but well-favored, skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding science, and who had the ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning 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 |
The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years, that at its end they should stand before the king.
| وَكَانَ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْمُنْتَخَبِينَ مِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعَةٌ هُمْ: دَانِيَالُ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلُ وَعَزَرْيَا، | ٦ 6 |
Now among these of the children of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
| فَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ أَسْمَاءَ كَلْدَانِيَّةً، فَدَعَا دَانِيَالَ بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ، وَحَنَنْيَا شَدْرَخَ، وَمِيشَائِيلَ مِيشَخَ، وَعَزَرْيَا عَبْدَنَغُوَ. | ٧ 7 |
The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name 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 purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
| فَأَعْطَى اللهُ دَانِيَالَ حُظْوَةً وَرَحْمَةً لَدَى رَئِيسِ الْخِصْيَانِ، | ٩ 9 |
Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince 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 |
The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? Then you would endanger my head with the king.”
| فَقَالَ دَانِيَالُ لِلْمُشْرِفِ الَّذِي عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ بِدَانِيَالَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا: | ١١ 11 |
Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince 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 |
“Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables 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 |
Then let our faces be examined before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s delicacies; and as you see, deal with your servants.”
| فَاسْتَجَابَ لِطِلْبَتِهِمْ وَجَرَّبَهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.
| وَبَعْدَ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ بَدَتْ مَظَاهِرُهُمْ أَكْثَرَ عَافِيَةً وَأَوْفَرَ سِمَناً مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْفِتْيَانِ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْمَلِكِ | ١٥ 15 |
At the end of ten days, their faces appeared fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate of the king’s delicacies.
| فَصَارَ الْمُشْرِفُ يَسْتَبْدِلُ مُخَصَّصَاتِ طَعَامِهِمْ وَخَمْرِ شَرَابِهِمْ بِالْخُضْرَوَاتِ. | ١٦ 16 |
So the steward took away their delicacies and the wine that they were given to drink, and gave them vegetables.
| وَوَهَبَ اللهُ أُولَئِكَ الْفِتْيَانَ الأَرْبَعَةَ مَعْرِفَةً وَعَقْلاً فِي كُلِّ ضُرُوبِ الْكِتَابَةِ وَالْعِلْمِ. وَكَانَ دَانِيَالُ فَطِناً فِي تَفْسِيرِ جَمِيعِ الرُّؤَى وَالأَحْلامِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
| وَحِينَ أَزِفَ وَقْتُ مُثُولِهِمْ كَأَمْرِ الْمَلِكِ، أَحْضَرَهُمْ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ أَمَامَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ، | ١٨ 18 |
At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
| فَتَحَدَّثَ إِلَيْهِمِ الْمَلِكُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ بَيْنَهُمْ جَمِيعاً مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلُ دَانِيَالَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا، فَاخْتَارَهُمْ لِلْمُثُولِ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king.
| وَحِينَ شَرَعَ الْمَلِكُ فِي مُبَاحَثَتِهِمْ فِي شُؤُونِ الْعُلُومِ وَالْمَعَارِفِ وَجَدَهُمْ يَفُوقُونَ بِعَشَرَةِ أَضْعَافٍ جَمِيعَ السَّحَرَةِ وَالْمَجُوسِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مَمْلَكَتِهِ كُلِّهَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.
| وَظَلَّ دَانِيَالُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِوِلايَةِ كُورَشَ الْمَلِكِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Daniel continued even to the first year of King Cyrus.
