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, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried 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 spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the princes;
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 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in 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 tongue 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 them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing 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 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.
Leum fulat lun mwet pwapa uh sang ine sasu inge nu selos: Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach ac Abednego.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile 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 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with 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 meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to 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 Then said Daniel to Melzar, 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 children that eat of the portion of the king’s meat: and as thou seest, 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 So he consented to 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 fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat.
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 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, 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 children, 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 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then 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 communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they 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 wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers 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 even 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.
