< 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.
Juda kini ne' Jehoiakimi'ma 3'a kafuma kinima nemanigeno'a, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a Jerusalemi kumate vahe ha' eme huzmante'naku sondia vahe zaga'ane eno Jerusalemi kumara eme avazagi kagi'ne.
2 And the Lord delivered into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with some of the articles from the house of God. He carried these off to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, where he put them in the treasury of his god.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Nebukatnesa azampi Juda kini ne' Jehoiakimina avrentegeno azenerino, Anumzamofo ra mono nompima eri'zama eneriza zantaminena eri'ne. Ana huteno erino Babiloni vuno, havi anumza'amofo mono nompima fenozama nentazafi omente'ne.
3 Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his court officials, to bring in some Israelites from the royal family and the nobility—
Ana huteno kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a, agri nompima eri'zama eneriza vahete'ma ugotama huno kegavama hu'nea ne' Aspenasina hunteno, Israeli kini ne'mofo nagapinti'ene Juda kva vahe'mokizmi nagapintira,
4 young men without blemish, handsome, gifted in all wisdom, knowledgeable, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace—and to teach them the language and literature of the Chaldeans.
vunka kasefa vahe'ma zamafuhe zamafahe'ma osu'nesiane, hiranto zamavugosa huzmante'nesiane knare antahi'zampima avite'nesazane, maka antahintahi'zama rempi hu'za antahi'zantema knare hu'nesazane, maka nanekema ame hu'za antahiama'ma nehu'za, kini ne'mofo nompima eri'zama eri antahi'zama ani'ma hu'nesnaza nahezaverami, ome zamavarenka enka Babiloni vahe'mokizmi zamagerura rempi hunezaminka, avoma kreno hampri'zana rempi huzamio huno hunte'ne.
5 The king assigned them daily provisions of the royal food and wine. They were to be trained for three years, after which they were to enter the king’s service.
Nehuno kini nemo'a huno, Maka zupa nagri nompinti knare zantfama hu'nea ne'zane waini tinena negahaze huno huzmante'ne. Ana nahezaveramina 3'a kafufi rempia huzamitesnage'za, henka ufre'za kini ne'mofo eri'zana erigahaze.
6 Among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Ana vahe amunompina, Juda naga'nofipinti nehazaveramina, Danieli'ma, Hanania'ma, Misaeli'ma, Azariaki hu'za mani'naze.
7 The chief official gave them new names: To Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.
Hanki ugota kva ne' Aspenesa'a ana nagara ru zamagima ante zami'neana amanahu hu'ne. Danielinkura Belsasa'e nehuno, Hananiankura Setraki'e nehuno, Misaelinkura Misaki'e nehuno, Azariankura Abetnego'e huno zamagia antezami'ne.
8 But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or wine. So he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself.
Hianagi Danieli'a Anumzamofo avure'ma agra'ama azeri pehenama hu'zanku, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zane waini tinema negahazema huno'ma hia nanekegura Aspenasina antahigeno, knare natresankena kini ne'mofo nompintira ne'zana onegahuo huno antahige'ne.
9 Now God had granted Daniel favor and compassion from the chief official,
Hanki anante Anumzamo'a Aspenasi agu'afina asunku'za antentegeno, Danielina asunku hunenteno aza hunaku hu'ne.
10 but he said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking thinner than those of the other young men your age? You would endanger my head before the king!”
Hianagi Aspenasi'a amanage huno Danielina asami'ne. Nagra kini nekura koro nehue. Na'ankure agra'a huhamprino e'inahu e'inahu ne'zane tinena negahaze huno huhampri'ne. Ana hu'neankino tamagri tamavufgamo'a hariri huno, mago'a tamagranema e'naza nehazavemokizmi zamavufaga gna'ma osanigeno'a, kini ne'mo'a nananke rukafrigahie.
11 Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Anante kini ne'mo'a huntegeno, Danielima, Hananiama, Misaelinema, kegavama huzmante'nea ne' Aspenasi'a mago eri'za ne' huntegeno Danieli'a amanage huno asami'ne.
12 “Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.
Muse hugantoanki eri'za vahekamota avame antenka, 10ni'a knamofo agu'afina, hozafi ne'zane, kasefa tine tamigeta namneno.
13 Then compare our appearances with those of the young men who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.”
Hagi 10ni'a knama evutesigenka, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza nehazavemokizmi zamavufaga negenka, tagri tavufga negenka hutenka, henka nazano kagri eri'za vahe'motama hurante'naku'ma hanana zana amne hugahane.
14 So he consented to this and tested them for ten days.
Higeno anama kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a anagema haza nanekerera mago arimpa nehuno, 10ni'a knafi avamera anteno zamage'ne.
15 And at the end of ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the king’s food.
Hagi 10ni'a knama evutegeno'a, kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a zamageana, Danieline 3'a nagamokizmi zamavufagamo'a masavenke huno knare zantfa nehuno, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza nehazaveramina zamagatere'ne.
16 So the steward continued to withhold their choice food and the wine they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables instead.
Ana higeno kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a, knare'nare ne'zane waini tinema zamio huno'ma kini ne'mo'ma hu'neana netreno, hozafi ne'zane kasefa tine zamino vu'ne.
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding in every kind of literature and wisdom. And Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams.
Hanki Danieline ana 3'a nehazave nagara Anumzamo'a antahintahi'zane ama' antahi'zanena zamige'za, avontafepima ruzahu ruzahu nanekema krente'nazana rempi huvagare'za ana maka antahi'naze. Ana nehazageno ruzahu ruzahu avanagna zane, ava'namofo agafa'a eriama hu antahi'zana Anumzamo'a Danielina ami'ne.
18 Now at the end of the time specified by the king, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar.
Hagi kini ne'mo'ma knama ante'nea knamo'a ehanatigeno, kini nemo'a ana nehazaveramina zamavareta efreho huno higeno, kini ne'mofo eri'za vahete kva ne' Aspenasi'a zamavareno kini ne' Nebukatnesa avuga vu'ne.
19 And the king spoke with them, and among all the young men he found no one equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the king’s service.
Ana higeno kini ne'mo'ma ana nehazaveraminema keagama huno zamageana, Danieli'ma, Hanania'ma, Misaeli'ma Azari'enema hazankna vahera magore huno omanine. Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a zamavarentege'za agri'ma antahintahima ami' eri'za vahe mani'naze.
20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.
Kini ne'mo'ma ana 4'a nehazaveramima, knare antahintahine, ama' antahi'zanku'ma zamantahigeno'ma keana, maka Babiloni mopafima antahi'zane vahe'ene, kagu'vazama erifore'ma nehaza vahe'ene, zagoma neraza vahe'ene kini ne'mofoma antahi'zama nemiza vahera razampi ruzmagatere'naze.
21 And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.
Hagi Danieli'a ana eri'zama'a erino nevigeno vuno, Sairusi'ma erigafa huno Babiloni kinima mania kafure uhanati'ne.
