Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Na mobu ya misato ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, ayaki kobundisa Yelusalemi mpe azingelaki yango.
2 And the Lord delivered into his hands Joakim the king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he carried them away into the land of Sennaar, to the house of his god, and the vessels he brought into the treasure house of his god.
Yawe akabaki Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, elongo na ndambo ya bisalelo ya Tempelo ya Nzambe na maboko ya Nabukodonozori. Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, amemaki bisalelo yango kati na tempelo ya nzambe na ye, na Shineari, mpe atiaki yango kati na ndako oyo babombelaka bomengo ya nzambe na ye.
3 And the king spoke to Asphenez the master of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed and of the princes,
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo epai ya Ashipenazi, mokonzi ya bakalaka na ye ya lokumu, ete ayeisa na Babiloni ndambo ya bana ya Isalaele oyo babotama na mabota ya bakonzi to ya bato ya lokumu,
4 Children in whom there was no blemish, well favoured, and skillful in all wisdom, acute in knowledge, and instructed in science, and such as might stand in the king’s palace, that he might teach them the learning, and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
bilenge mibali oyo banzoto na bango ezanga mbeba, ya bilongi kitoko, ya mayele mpe ya bwanya, oyo bazali na makoki ya koyekola kotanga mpe kokoma makambo ya ndenge na ndenge, oyo bazali na bososoli mpe bakoka mpo na kosala kati na ndako ya mokonzi; Ashipenazi asengelaki kolakisa bango koloba, kokoma mikanda mpe kotanga lokota ya bato ya Babiloni.
5 And the king appointed them a daily provision, of his own meat, and of the wine of which he drank himself, that being nourished three years, afterwards they might stand before the king.
Mokonzi akatelaki bango mpo na mokolo na mokolo, bilei oyo basengeli kolia mpe masanga oyo basengeli komela: nyonso ezalaki kowuta na mesa na ye. Mibu misato, basengelaki koyekola; na sima nde bakoki kosala mosala ya mokonzi.
6 Now there were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias.
Kati na ndambo ya bato oyo bawutaki na Yuda, ezalaki na Daniele, Anania, Mikaeli mpe Azaria.
7 And the master of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltassar: to Ananias, Sidrach: to Misael, Misach: and to Azarias, Abdenago.
Mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu apesaki bango bakombo ya sika; apesaki Daniele kombo Belitsatsari; Anania, Shadraki; Mikaeli, Meshaki; mpe Azaria, Abedinego.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not be defiled with the king’s table, nor with the wine which he drank: and he requested the master of the eunuchs that he might not be defiled.
Daniele azwaki mokano ya koboya komikomisa mbindo na nzela ya bilei mpe ya vino ya mokonzi; ayebisaki mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu ete apesa ye nzela te ya komikomisa mbindo na lolenge wana.
9 And God gave to Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
Boye, Nzambe asalaki ete Daniele azwa ngolu mpe bolamu na miso ya mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu.
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel: I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed you meat and drink: who if he should see your faces leaner than those of the other youths your equals, you shall endanger my head to the king.
Kasi mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu alobaki na Daniele: — Nazali kobanga mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, oyo akateli bino bilei oyo bosengeli kolia mpe masanga oyo bosengeli komela! Mpo na nini bokolinga ete mokonzi amona bilongi na bino ekonda koleka bilongi ya bilenge mosusu ya mibu na bino? Bomoni te ete wana bokobomisa ngai epai ya mokonzi?
11 And Daniel said to Malasar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias:
Daniele alobaki na mosali oyo mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu aponaki mpo ete abatela Daniele, Anania, Mikaeli mpe Azaria:
12 Try, I beseech thee, thy servants for ten days, and let pulse be given us to eat, and water to drink:
« Nabondeli yo, meka basali na yo mikolo zomi: pesa biso kaka bandunda lokola bilei mpe mayi mpo na komela; kopesa biso eloko mosusu te!
13 And look upon our faces, and the faces of the children that eat of the king’s meat: and as thou shalt see, deal with thy servants.
Sima na mikolo yango, okotala yo moko bilongi na biso mpe bilongi ya bilenge mosusu oyo bazali kolia bilei ya mokonzi; bongo okosala basali na yo ndenge yo moko okomona. »
14 And when he had heard these words, he tried them for ten days.
Mosala andimaki bosenga na bango mpe amekaki bango mikolo zomi.
15 And after ten days their faces appeared fairer and fatter than all the children that ate of the king’s meat.
Sima na mikolo yango zomi, bakomaki bilongi kitoko mpe banzoto ngebungebu koleka bilenge oyo bazalaki kolia bilei ya mokonzi.
16 So Malasar took their portions, and the wine that they should drink: and he gave them pulse.
Boye, mosali yango akomaki kotia pembeni bilei mpe vino oyo bazalaki kobongisela bango mpe kopesa bango kaka bandunda.
17 And to these children God gave knowledge, and understanding in every book, and wisdom: but to Daniel the understanding also of all visions and dreams.
Nzambe apesaki bilenge wana minei boyebi mpe bososoli kati na makambo nyonso: koloba, kokoma, kotanga mikanda, mayele mpe bwanya. Mpe Daniele akomaki na makoki ya kolimbola bimoniseli mpe bandoto ya ndenge na ndenge.
18 And when the days were ended, after which the king had ordered they should be brought in: the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor.
Sima na mikolo oyo mokonzi akataki mpo ete bamemela ye bango, mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu amemaki bango liboso ya Nabukodonozori.
19 And when the king had spoken to them, there were not found among them all such as Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias: and they stood in the king’s presence.
Mokonzi asololaki na bango; mpe kati na bilenge nyonso oyo bamemelaki ye, amonaki ete moko te akokani na Daniele, na Anania, na Mikaeli mpe na Azaria. Boye, bakomaki kosala kati na ndako ya mokonzi.
20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the diviners, and wise men, that were in all his kingdom.
Na makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi azalaki kotuna bango, oyo ezalaki kosenga bwanya mpe bososoli, amonaki ete bazali mayele mbala zomi koleka bato ya soloka mpe ya maji ya mokili na ye mobimba.
21 And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
Mpe Daniele awumelaki kosala kati na ndako ya mokonzi kino na mobu ya liboso ya mokonzi Sirisi.
