Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Tamy taom-paha-telo’ Iehoiakìme mpanjaka’ Iehodày, le nionjomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele vaho niarikoboñe’e.
2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God. And he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
Natolo’ i Talè am-pità’e t’Iehoiakime, mpanjaka’ Iehodà reketse ty ila’ o fàna’ i anjomban’Añahareio vaho nendese’e mb’añ’akiban-drahare’e an-tane Sinare añe, naho nazili’e an-drihan-kibohon-drahare’e ao o fanakeo.
3 And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the sons of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the ranking men,
Le nisaontsie’ i mpanjakay amy Aspenaze, mpifehem-pitoro’e, ty hañandesa’e ana’ Israele naho tirim-panjàka vaho ana-donake;
4 youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace. And that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
ze ajalahy tsy aman-kila tsy aman-kandra, maràm-bintañe, naòke amy ze atao hilala, mahihitse am-paharendrehañe naho mahimbañe am-pitsikarahañe naho maozatse am-batañe hahafijohañe añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay vaho haòke ami’ty fanokirañe naho fisaontsi’ o nte Kasdìo.
5 And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's food, and of the wine which he drank. And that they should be nourished three years, that at the end of it they should stand before the king.
Le tinendre’ i mpanjakay ho a’ iareo ty anjara boak’ andro amo raha mafiri’ i mpanjakaio naho amy divay fikama’ey; izay ty famahanañe iareo telo taoñe, soa t’ie modo le hiatrake i mpanjakay.
6 Now among these were, of the sons of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Am’ iereo o ana’ Iehodào: i Daniele, i Kananià, i Misaele vaho i Azarià;
7 And the ruler of the eunuchs gave names to them. To Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah, of Shadrach, and to Mishael, of Meshach, and to Azariah, of Abednego.
le tinolo’ i mpifehe’ o mpitoroñeoy añarañe: natolo’e amy Daniele ty hoe Beltsatsare; le amy Kananià ty hoe: Sadrake naho amy Misaele ty hoe: Mesàke vaho amy Azarià ty hoe: Abednego.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's food, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the ruler of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Fe naereñere’ i Daniele an-troke te tsy handeo-batañe amy anjara mahakama’ i mpanjakaiy naho amy divay fikama’ey; aa le nihalalie’e i mpifehem-pitoroñey t’ie tsy handeo-batañe.
9 Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the ruler of the eunuchs.
Ie amy zao, natolon’Añahare amy Daniele, añamy mpifehem-pitoroñey, fiferenaiñañe naho falalàñe.
10 And the ruler 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 that are of your own age? So ye would endanger my head with the king.
Le hoe i mpifehem-pitoroñey amy Daniele, añeveñako i talèko mpanjakay, ie fa nanendre ty mahakama’ areo naho ty finoma’ areo; amy t’ie mahaisake ty lahara’ areo monjemonjetse te amo ajalahi’e ila’e mitraoke’ ama’ areoo, le ho ozoñe’ areo ty lohako añatrefa’ i mpanjakay.
11 Then Daniel said to the steward whom the ruler of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Aa le hoe t’i Daniele amy Meltsare, nampifeleha’ i mpifehem-pitoroñey i Daniele naho i Kananià, i Misaele, vaho i Azarià,
12 Test thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
Ehe, venteo heike ami’ty andro folo abey o mpitoro’oo, le fahano añañe ho fihina’ay naho rano ho finome’ay.
13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's food. And as thou see, deal with thy servants.
Le ampisarieñe añatrefa’o eo henane zay o tarehe’aio naho ty lahara’ o ajalahy mpikama amy anjara’ i mpanjakaio; le ano ty amy hahaoniña’o o mpitoro’oo.
14 So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days.
Aa le niantofa’e, vaho niventè’e andro folo;
15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared finer, and they were fuller in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king's dainties.
ie nimodo i folo àndroy, le nisoa vintañe naho sometsetse ty sandri’ iareo te amo ajalahy nihinañe ami’ty anjara mahakama’ i mpanjakaio.
16 So the steward took away their food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them vegetables.
Aa le nasita’ i mpiatrakey ty anjara mahakama naho divay ho namahana’e iareo vaho nanjotsoa’e vokan-teteke.
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.
Le tinolon’ Añahare hilala naho hihitse amy ze atao taratasy naho fitsikarahañe i ajalahy efatse rey; mbore naharendreke ze aroñaroñe naho nofy iaby t’i Daniele.
18 And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the ruler of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
Naho nitampetse i andro natao’ i mpanjakay ho faneseañe iareo rezay, le nampihovà’ i mpifehem-pitoroñey añatrefa’ i Nebokadnetsare eo.
19 And the king conversed with them. And among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king.
Nifanaontsy am’ iereo i mpanjakay, fe tsy teo ty nañirinkiriñe i Daniele naho i Kananià naho i Misaele vaho i Azarià; aa le nijohañe añatrefa’ i mpanjakay iereo.
20 And 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.
Nioni’ i mpanjakay te nilikoare’ iereo im-polo ze hene ambiasa naho mpañorik’andro am-pifehea’e ao ami’ty hihitse naho hilala.
21 And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
Nitoloñe ao ampara’ty taom-baloha’ i Korese t’i Daniele.
