Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
E higa mar adek mar loch Jehoyakim, ruodh Juda, Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nobiro Jerusalem molwore gi jolweny mondo okawe.
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.
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Jehoyakim ruodh Juda e lwete, kaachiel gi gik moko mitiyogo e hekalu mar Nyasaye. Notingʼo gigi motero nyaka e hekalu mar nyasache, man Babulon, kendo noketogi ei od kano mwandu mar nyasache.
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;
Eka ruoth nogolo chik ni Ashpenaz, ma jatelo maduongʼ mar jotij od ngʼado bura mondo okelne jo-Israel moko mogen mane oa e anywola joka ruoth,
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.
ma gin yawuowi matindo man-gi chia maonge songa, molony e migepe duto mag rieko, mosomo malach, ma wach donjonegi piyo kendo mowinjore gi tiyo e od ruoth. Ne onego opuonjgi dho jo-Babulon kaachiel gi weche mamoko mag jo-Babulon.
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.
Ruoth noketonigi chiemo mar odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ moromogi kod kongʼo moa e mesane. Ne onego otieggi kuom higni adek bangʼe gichak tiyo ka ruoth.
6 Now these were amongst them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael.
Kuom joma noa e dhood Juda ne gin: Daniel, Hanania, Mishael gi Azaria.
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.
Jatelo maduongʼ nomiyogi nying manyien machal kama: Daniel nochako ni Belteshazar; Hanania nochako ni Shadrak; Mishael nochako ni Meshak; to Azaria nochako ni Abednego.
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 entreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Daniel to nongʼado e chunye ni ok nobed mogak kuom chamo chiemo kendo madho divai moa e od ruoth, omiyo nokwayo jatelo maduongʼ thuolo mondo oweye kik ocham chiemo mogakgo.
9 Now God [had] brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.
Nyasaye nosemiyo jatelo maduongʼ obedo mangʼwon gi Daniel,
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; also shall you endanger my head to the king.
to kata kamano jatelono nowachone Daniel niya, “Aluoro ruodha nikech en ema ogolo chik ni mondo uchiem kendo umethi. Angʼo dimi inenri matin moloyo mbesini mamoko? Ka ok atimoni kamano, to onyalo nega.”
11 And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, [and] Azarias.
Eka Daniel nowachone jarit mane jatelo maduongʼ oketo mondo orit Daniel, Hanania, Mishael gi Azaria niya,
12 Prove now your servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water:
“Kiyie to tem ane jotichni kuom ndalo apar; ka ok imiyowa gimoro amora makmana alot gi pi modho.
13 And let our countenances be seen by you, and the countenances of the children that eat [at] the king's table; and deal with your servants according as you shall see.
Bangʼ mano to ipimwa gi yawuowi mamoko machamo chiemo moa e od ruoth mondo ineane ka bende nitie pogruok, eka itim ne jotichni kaluwore gi gima ineno.”
14 And he listened to them, and proved them ten days.
Omiyo ne oyie gi wachno mi otemogi kuom ndalo apar.
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.
Bangʼ ndalo apargo ndendgi ne ber moloyo mar yawuowi mane chamo chiemo moa e od ruoth.
16 So Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse.
Kuom mano, jaritono ne ok omiyogi chiemb od ruoth kod divai, to ne omiyogi mana alot kende.
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.
Nyasaye nomiyo yawuowi angʼwen-go, ngʼeyo gi lony mar winjo tiend kit ndiko duto gi puonjruok. Kendo Daniel ne nigi rieko matut mar loko tiend fweny ka fweny kod lek ka lek.
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.
Kane ochopo kinde mane onego ter yawuowigo ir ruoth, jatelo maduongʼ nokelogi e nyim Nebukadneza.
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.
Ruoth nowuoyo kodgi, kendo ne ok oyudo ngʼama ne nyalo romo gi Daniel, Hanania, Mishael kod Azaria, omiyo yawuowi angʼwen-go nochako tiyo ne ruoth.
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.
E kit rieko duto gi lony kuom winjo tiend weche matek mane ruoth otemogie gi penjo, noyudo ka giriek moloyo ajuoke gi jokor wach duto mane ni e pinyruodhe duto nyadipar.
21 And Daniel continued till the first year of king Cyrus.
Kendo Daniel nodhi nyime katiyo kanyo nyaka higa mokwongo mar loch mar ruoth miluongo ni Sairas.
