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 Joakim king of Juda, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon 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 gave into his hand Joakim king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he brought them into the land of Sennaar to the house of his god; and 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 |
And the king told Asphanez his chief eunuch, to bring in [some] of the captive children of Israel, and of the seed of the kingdom, and of the princes;
| 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 was no blemish, and beautiful in appearance, and skilled in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and acquainted with prudence, and who had ability to stand in the house before the king, and [the king gave commandment] to teach them the learning and 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 them a daily portion from the king’s table, and from the wine which he drank; and [gave orders] to nourish them three years, and [that] afterwards they should stand before the king.
| وَكَانَ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْمُنْتَخَبِينَ مِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعَةٌ هُمْ: دَانِيَالُ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلُ وَعَزَرْيَا، | ٦ 6 |
Now these were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael.
| فَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ أَسْمَاءَ كَلْدَانِيَّةً، فَدَعَا دَانِيَالَ بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ، وَحَنَنْيَا شَدْرَخَ، وَمِيشَائِيلَ مِيشَخَ، وَعَزَرْيَا عَبْدَنَغُوَ. | ٧ 7 |
And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltasar; and to Ananias, Sedrach; and to Misael, Misach; and to Azarias, Abdenago.
| 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 |
And Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the king’s table, nor with the wine of his drink: and he intreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
| فَأَعْطَى اللهُ دَانِيَالَ حُظْوَةً وَرَحْمَةً لَدَى رَئِيسِ الْخِصْيَانِ، | ٩ 9 |
Now God [had] brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the chief 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 chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy in comparison of the young men your equals; so shall ye endanger my head to the king.
| فَقَالَ دَانِيَالُ لِلْمُشْرِفِ الَّذِي عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ بِدَانِيَالَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا: | ١١ 11 |
And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, [and] Azarias,
| «جَرِّبْ عَبِيدَكَ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَقَطْ، وَلا تُعْطِنَا سِوَى خُضْرَوَاتٍ وَمَاءٍ لِنَأْكُلَ وَنَشْرَبَ، | ١٢ 12 |
Prove now thy servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water:
| ثُمَّ اسْتَعْرِضْنَا وَقَارِنْ بَيْنَ مَنَاظِرِنَا وَمَنَاظِرِ سَائِرِ رِفَاقِنَا الَّذِينَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْمَلِكِ، ثُمَّ تَصَرَّفْ مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا تَشْهَدُهُ». | ١٣ 13 |
and let our countenances be seen by thee, and the countenances of the children that eat [at] the king’s table; and deal with thy servants according as thou shalt see.
| فَاسْتَجَابَ لِطِلْبَتِهِمْ وَجَرَّبَهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And he hearkened to them, and proved them ten days.
| وَبَعْدَ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ بَدَتْ مَظَاهِرُهُمْ أَكْثَرَ عَافِيَةً وَأَوْفَرَ سِمَناً مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْفِتْيَانِ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْمَلِكِ | ١٥ 15 |
And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and stouter in flesh than the children that fed at the king’s table.
| فَصَارَ الْمُشْرِفُ يَسْتَبْدِلُ مُخَصَّصَاتِ طَعَامِهِمْ وَخَمْرِ شَرَابِهِمْ بِالْخُضْرَوَاتِ. | ١٦ 16 |
So Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse.
| وَوَهَبَ اللهُ أُولَئِكَ الْفِتْيَانَ الأَرْبَعَةَ مَعْرِفَةً وَعَقْلاً فِي كُلِّ ضُرُوبِ الْكِتَابَةِ وَالْعِلْمِ. وَكَانَ دَانِيَالُ فَطِناً فِي تَفْسِيرِ جَمِيعِ الرُّؤَى وَالأَحْلامِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And [as for] these four children, God gave them understanding and prudence 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 |
And at the end of the days, [after] which the king had given orders to bring them in, then the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor.
| فَتَحَدَّثَ إِلَيْهِمِ الْمَلِكُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ بَيْنَهُمْ جَمِيعاً مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلُ دَانِيَالَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا، فَاخْتَارَهُمْ لِلْمُثُولِ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And the king spoke with them; and there were not found out of them all any like Daniel, and Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias: and they stood 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 |
And in every matter of wisdom and knowledge wherein the king questioned them, he found them ten times wiser than all the enchanters and sorcerers that were in all his kingdom.
| وَظَلَّ دَانِيَالُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِوِلايَةِ كُورَشَ الْمَلِكِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And Daniel continued till the first year of king Cyrus.
