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.
Tamy taom-paha-telo’ Iehoiakìme mpanjaka’ Iehodày, le nionjomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele vaho niarikoboñe’e.
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.
Natolo’ i Talè am-pità’e t’Iehoiakime, mpanjaka’ Iehodà reketse ty ila’ o fàna’ i anjomban’Añahareio vaho nendese’e mb’añ’akiban-drahare’e an-tane Sinare añe, naho nazili’e an-drihan-kibohon-drahare’e ao o fanakeo.
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;
Le nisaontsie’ i mpanjakay amy Aspenaze, mpifehem-pitoro’e, ty hañandesa’e ana’ Israele naho tirim-panjàka vaho ana-donake;
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.
ze ajalahy tsy aman-kila tsy aman-kandra, maràm-bintañe, naòke amy ze atao hilala, mahihitse am-paharendrehañe naho mahimbañe am-pitsikarahañe naho maozatse am-batañe hahafijohañe añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay vaho haòke ami’ty fanokirañe naho fisaontsi’ o nte Kasdìo.
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.
Le tinendre’ i mpanjakay ho a’ iareo ty anjara boak’ andro amo raha mafiri’ i mpanjakaio naho amy divay fikama’ey; izay ty famahanañe iareo telo taoñe, soa t’ie modo le hiatrake i mpanjakay.
6 Now these were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael.
Am’ iereo o ana’ Iehodào: i Daniele, i Kananià, i Misaele vaho i Azarià;
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.
le tinolo’ i mpifehe’ o mpitoroñeoy añarañe: natolo’e amy Daniele ty hoe Beltsatsare; le amy Kananià ty hoe: Sadrake naho amy Misaele ty hoe: Mesàke vaho amy Azarià ty hoe: 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.
Fe naereñere’ i Daniele an-troke te tsy handeo-batañe amy anjara mahakama’ i mpanjakaiy naho amy divay fikama’ey; aa le nihalalie’e i mpifehem-pitoroñey t’ie tsy handeo-batañe.
9 Now God [had] brought Daniel into favor and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.
Ie amy zao, natolon’Añahare amy Daniele, añamy mpifehem-pitoroñey, fiferenaiñañe naho falalàñe.
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.
Le hoe i mpifehem-pitoroñey amy Daniele, añeveñako i talèko mpanjakay, ie fa nanendre ty mahakama’ areo naho ty finoma’ areo; amy t’ie mahaisake ty lahara’ areo monjemonjetse te amo ajalahi’e ila’e mitraoke’ ama’ areoo, le ho ozoñe’ areo ty lohako añatrefa’ i mpanjakay.
11 And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, [and] Azarias.
Aa le hoe t’i Daniele amy Meltsare, nampifeleha’ i mpifehem-pitoroñey i Daniele naho i Kananià, i Misaele, vaho i Azarià,
12 Prove now your servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water:
Ehe, venteo heike ami’ty andro folo abey o mpitoro’oo, le fahano añañe ho fihina’ay naho rano ho finome’ay.
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.
Le ampisarieñe añatrefa’o eo henane zay o tarehe’aio naho ty lahara’ o ajalahy mpikama amy anjara’ i mpanjakaio; le ano ty amy hahaoniña’o o mpitoro’oo.
14 And he listened to them, and proved them ten days.
Aa le niantofa’e, vaho niventè’e andro folo;
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.
ie nimodo i folo àndroy, le nisoa vintañe naho sometsetse ty sandri’ iareo te amo ajalahy nihinañe ami’ty anjara mahakama’ i mpanjakaio.
16 So Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse.
Aa le nasita’ i mpiatrakey ty anjara mahakama naho divay ho namahana’e iareo vaho nanjotsoa’e vokan-teteke.
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.
Le tinolon’ Añahare hilala naho hihitse amy ze atao taratasy naho fitsikarahañe i ajalahy efatse rey; mbore naharendreke ze aroñaroñe naho nofy iaby t’i Daniele.
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.
Naho nitampetse i andro natao’ i mpanjakay ho faneseañe iareo rezay, le nampihovà’ i mpifehem-pitoroñey añatrefa’ i Nebokadnetsare eo.
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.
Nifanaontsy am’ iereo i mpanjakay, fe tsy teo ty nañirinkiriñe i Daniele naho i Kananià naho i Misaele vaho i Azarià; aa le nijohañe añatrefa’ i mpanjakay iereo.
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.
Nioni’ i mpanjakay te nilikoare’ iereo im-polo ze hene ambiasa naho mpañorik’andro am-pifehea’e ao ami’ty hihitse naho hilala.
21 And Daniel continued till the first year of king Cyrus.
Nitoloñe ao ampara’ty taom-baloha’ i Korese t’i Daniele.
