< 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.
In yac aktolu ke Jehoiakim el tokosra in acn Judah, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun acn Babylonia el tuh mweuni acn Jerusalem ac kuhlasla siti uh.
2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, and a 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.
Leum El lela tuh elan sruokilya Tokosra Jehoiakim ac usla kutu mwe kasrup lun Tempul uh. El tuh usla kutu mwet sruoh welul folokla nu ke tempul lun god lal in acn Babylon, ac filiya ma saok inge ke nien filma in tempul lalos uh.
3 And the king spoke unto Ashpenaz the chief of his eunuchs, that he should bring of the children of Israel, both of the royal seed and of the nobles,
Tokosra el tuh sapkin nu sel Ashpenaz, su leum fin mwet pwapa lal, elan sulela kutu mukul fusr Israel su ma in sou lun tokosra ac sou lun mwet leum, su wi muta in sruoh.
4 youths in whom was no blemish, and of goodly countenance, and skilful in all wisdom, and acquainted with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
Elos su solla inge enenu in mwet na oasku, lalmwetmet, pah in orekma, lalkung, ac wangin ma koluk ke manolos, tuh elos fah fal in kulansap inkul lun tokosra. Ma kunal Ashpenaz in lotelosyang in ku in rit ac sim ke kas Babylonia.
5 And the king appointed unto them a daily provision of the king's delicate food, and of the wine that he drank, to nourish them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
Tokosra el oayapa sapkin tuh in kitakat elos len nukewa ke mwe mongo ac wain su ma mwet inkul fulat elos eis uh. Tukun lutiyuk elos ke yac tolu, elos ac utuku nu ye mutal tokosra.
6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Inmasrlon mwet ma tuh solla inge pa Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, ac Azariah — elos kewa ma in sruf lun Judah.
7 And the prince of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel he gave [the name] Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah, Shadrach, and to Mishael, Meshach, and to Azariah, Abed-nego.
Leum fulat lun mwet pwapa uh sang ine sasu inge nu selos: Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach ac Abednego.
8 And Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not pollute himself with the king's delicate food, nor with the wine which he drank; and he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not have to pollute himself.
Daniel el tuh sulela elan tia kang mwe mongo ac nim mwe nim ma kitakat mwet inkul fulat uh kac, pwanang ac tuh akfohkfokye manol. Ouinge el siyuk sel Ashpenaz tuh elan kasrel,
9 And God granted Daniel favour and mercy before the prince of the eunuchs.
ac God El oru tuh Ashpenaz elan etaten nu sel Daniel.
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 liking than the youths who are of your age? and ye would endanger my head with the king.
Tusruktu Ashpenaz el sangeng sel tokosra, ac el fahk nu sel Daniel, “Tokosra el pakiya tari ma kom in kang ac nim, ac fin tia wo finsroam oana tulik sayom inge, na el ac ku na in uniyuwi.”
11 And Daniel said to the steward, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Ouinge Daniel el som nu yurin mwet se ma Ashpenaz el tuh srisrngiya in liyalang ac mwet kawuk tolu lal.
12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink;
Ac el fahk nu sel, “Srike kut ke len singoul, ac use na fokinsak kut in kang, ac kof kut in nim.
13 then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's delicate food: and as thou shalt see, deal with thy servants.
Na kom fah liye lah manosr ac oa kac monin tulik ma kang mongo ke inkul lun leum uh, na kom fah oru sulela lom an fal nu ke ma kom liye an.”
14 And he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
Na mwet sac insese elos in srike ke len singoul.
15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and were fatter in flesh than all the youths that ate of the king's delicate food.
Tukun len singoul ah, Daniel ac mwet kawuk tolu lal ah arulana fokoko ac wo finsroalos liki tulik nukewa ma kang mongo nun mwet leum uh.
16 So the steward took away their delicate food, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
Ouinge in pacl sac lac, mwet se ma liyaltalang ah lela eltal in mongo fokinsak na, ac tia kang mongo ma tokosra el sang elos in kang.
17 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.
God El sang nu sin mwet fusr akosr ah etauk yohk, ac sasla in riti sramsram matu ac lalmwetmet. Sayen ma inge, El sang pac nu sel Daniel in ku in akkalemye kalmen aruruma ac mweme.
18 And at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
Ke sun saflaiyen yac tolu ma tokosra el pakiya, Ashpenaz el pwanla mwet fusr nukewa nu ye mutal Nebuchadnezzar.
19 And the king spoke with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: and they stood before the king.
Tokosra el sramsram nu selos nukewa, ac arulana fwefela sel Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael ac Azariah yohk liki mwet fusr nukewa saya ah. Ouinge elos weang kulansap nu sin tokosra.
20 And in all matters of judicious wisdom, as to which the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the scribes [and] magicians that were in all his realm.
Finne kain siyuk fuka ma tokosra el siyuk, ku kain elya ma el ac srukak, mwet fusr akosr inge etu pacl singoul yohk liki kutena mwet susfa ku mwet inutnut su oasr ke tokosrai lal uh nufon.
21 And Daniel continued unto the first year of king Cyrus.
Daniel el mutana inkul fulat se inge nwe ke na Cyrus, tokosra fulat lun Persia, el kutangla acn Babylonia.
