Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Bara Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa keessa, waggaa sadaffaatti Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon dhufee Yerusaalemin marse.
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.
Gooftaanis Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa tokko tokko wajjin dabarsee harka isaatti kenne. Miʼoota kanneenis gara mana Waaqa isaa, gara Baabilonitti geeffatee mankuusaa mana Waaqa isaa keessa kaaʼate.
3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;
Mootichis ergasii Ashfenaz itti gaafatamaa qondaaltota isaa sana waamee akka inni Israaʼeloota sanyii moototaatii fi maatii ulfina qabeeyyii taʼan tokko tokko ol galchu ajaje;
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.
isaanis dargaggeeyyii hirʼina dhagnaa hin qabne, babbareedoo, kanneen barumsa gosa kamii iyyuu barachuuf dandeettii ogummaa qaban, kanneen beekumsaan badhaadhan, kanneen waan hunda hubachuu dandaʼanii fi masaraa mootummaa keessa tajaajiluuf gaʼumsa qaban turan. Innis afaanii fi katabbii Baabilonotaa isaan barsiisuu qaba ture.
5 And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they should stand before the king.
Mootichis nyaataa fi daadhii wayinii kan guyyaa guyyaatti isaan barbaachisu maaddii mootummaa irraa isaaniif ajaje. Isaanis tajaajila mootichaa seenuuf waggaa sadii leenjifamuu qabu ture.
6 Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Isaan kanneen keessaa warri Yihuudaadhaa dhufan Daaniʼel, Hanaaniyaa, Miishaaʼeelii fi Azaariyaa turan.
7 And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abed-nego.
Itti gaafatamaan qondaaltotaa sun Daaniʼeliin Beelxishaazaar, Hanaaniyaadhaan Shaadraak, Miishaaʼeelin, Meeshak, Azaariyaadhaan immoo Abdanaagoo jedhee maqaa haaraa baaseef.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Daaniʼel garuu nyaataa fi daadhii wayinii mootichaatiin of xureessuu dide; innis akkasiin akka of hin xureessineef itti gaafatamaa qondaaltotaa sana eeyyama gaafate.
9 Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
Waaqnis yeroo kanatti akka Daaniʼel fuula qondaala sanaa duratti surraa fi gara laafina argatu godhe;
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath 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 would ye endanger my head with the king.
qondaalli sun garuu Daaniʼeliin, “Ani gooftaa koo isa nyaataa fi dhugaatii keessan isiniif ramade sana nan sodaadha; inni maaliif dargaggoota hiriyoota keessan kaan caalaa huqqattanii isin arga? Kanaan isin mootichi balaa mataa kootti fiddu” jedhe.
11 Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Kana irratti Daaniʼel waardiyyaa itti gaafatamaan qondaaltotaa sun Daaniʼelii fi Hanaaniyaa irratti, Miishaaʼeelii fi Azaariyaa irratti muude Meldaariin akkana jedhe;
12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
“Maaloo tajaajiltoota kee bultii kudhaniif ilaali; biqiltuu nyaatamuu fi bishaan dhugamu malee waan biraa nuuf hin kennin.
13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king’s dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
Sana booddee bifa keenyaa fi bifa dargaggoota nyaata mootii nyaatanii wal biratti ilaali; waan argite irratti hundaaʼiitii tajaajiltoota kee irratti waan feete murteessi.”
14 So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
Innis yaada kana fudhatee bultii kudhan isaan qore.
15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king’s dainties.
Dhuma bultii kurnan sanaattis isaan dargaggoota nyaata mootii nyaatan sana caalaa fayyaaleyyii fi warra dhagni isaanii furdatee miidhage taʼanii argaman.
16 So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.
Kanaafuu waardiyyaan sun qooda nyaata filatamaa fi daadhii wayinii kan isaan dhuguu qaban sanaa raafuu qofa isaaniif kenne.
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.
Waaqnis dargaggoota afran kanneeniif barumsaa fi ogummaa hunda keessatti beekumsaa fi dandeetii kenneef. Daaniʼelis mulʼataa fi abjuu hunda hubachuu dandaʼa ture.
18 And 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.
Yommuu guyyaan mootichi akka isaan gara isaatti dhiʼaatan murteesse gaʼettis, qondaalli hangaftichi fuula Nebukadnezar duratti isaan dhiʼeesse.
19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
Mootichis isaan haasofsiise; innis nama Daaniʼeliin, Hanaaniyaan, Miishaaʼeelii fi Azaariyaan qixxaatu tokko illee hin arganne; kanaafuu isaan hojii mootichaa jalqaban.
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 that were in all his realm.
Mootichis waaʼee ogummaa fi beekumsaa kan isaan gaafate hundaan akka isaan ilaaltotaa fi falfaltoota biyyattiitti argaman hunda harka kudhan caalan arge.
21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
Daaniʼelis hamma waggaa tokkoffaa Qiiros mootichaatti achuma ture.
