Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
| فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، زَحَفَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرَهَا. | ١ |
2 The LORD gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with 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.
| وَأَسْلَمَ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا مَعَ بَعْضِ آنِيَةِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ، فَحَمَلَهَا مَعَهُ إِلَى أَرْضِ بَابِلَ وَاحْتَفَظَ بِالآنِيَةِ فِي خِزَانَةِ مَعْبَدِ إِلَهِهِ. | ٢ |
3 The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the people of Israel, even of the royal family and of the nobles;
| ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ أَشْفَنَزَ رَئِيسَ خِصْيَانِهِ أَنْ يُحْضِرَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ السُّلالَةِ الْمَلَكِيَّةِ وَمِنَ الشُّرَفَاءِ، | ٣ |
4 youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
| فِتْيَاناً كَامِلِي الْخِلْقَةِ، ذَوِي جَمَالٍ، مَاهِرِينَ فِي كُلِّ صَنْعَةٍ، يَتَحَلَّوْنَ بِالْمَعْرِفَةِ وَمُتَبَحِّرِينَ فِي كُلِّ عِلْمٍ مِمَّنْ هُمْ أَهْلٌ لِلْمُثُولِ فِي قَصْرِ الْمَلِكِ، لِيَتَعَلَّمُوا كِتَابَةَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَلُغَتَهُمْ. | ٤ |
5 The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's royal food, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at its end they should stand before the king.
| وَعَيَّنَ الْمَلِكُ لَهُمْ مُخَصَّصَاتِ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ مِنْ أَطَايِبِ مَأْكُولاتِ الْمَلِكِ وَمِنْ خَمْرِ شَرَابِهِ، وَأَوْصَى أَنْ يَقْضُوا ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي التَّثَقُّفِ يَمْثُلُونَ فِي نِهَايَتِهَا فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ. | ٥ |
6 Now among these were, of the people of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
| وَكَانَ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْمُنْتَخَبِينَ مِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعَةٌ هُمْ: دَانِيَالُ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلُ وَعَزَرْيَا، | ٦ |
7 The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
| فَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ أَسْمَاءَ كَلْدَانِيَّةً، فَدَعَا دَانِيَالَ بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ، وَحَنَنْيَا شَدْرَخَ، وَمِيشَائِيلَ مِيشَخَ، وَعَزَرْيَا عَبْدَنَغُوَ. | ٧ |
8 But Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's royal food, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
| أَمَّا دَانِيَالُ فَقَدْ عَزَمَ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنْ لَا يَتَنَجَّسَ بِأَطَايِبِ مَأْكُولاتِ الْمَلِكِ وَلا بِخَمْرِ شَرَابِهِ، وَطَلَبَ مِنْ رَئِيسِ الْخِصْيَانِ أَنْ يَعْفِيَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. | ٨ |
9 Now God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
| فَأَعْطَى اللهُ دَانِيَالَ حُظْوَةً وَرَحْمَةً لَدَى رَئِيسِ الْخِصْيَانِ، | ٩ |
10 The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? So would you endanger my head with the king."
| وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ لِدَانِيَالَ: «إِنَّنِي أَخْشَى سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ الَّذِي عَيَّنَ مُخَصَّصَاتِ طَعَامِكُمْ وَشَرَابِكُمْ. فَإِذَا رَأَى وُجُوهَكُمْ أَكْثَرَ هُزَالاً مِنْ سَائِرِ رِفَاقِكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَطْعِ رَأْسِي». | ١٠ |
11 Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
| فَقَالَ دَانِيَالُ لِلْمُشْرِفِ الَّذِي عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ بِدَانِيَالَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا: | ١١ |
12 "Test your servants for ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
| «جَرِّبْ عَبِيدَكَ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَقَطْ، وَلا تُعْطِنَا سِوَى خُضْرَوَاتٍ وَمَاءٍ لِنَأْكُلَ وَنَشْرَبَ، | ١٢ |
13 Then let our faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king's royal food; and as you see, deal with your servants."
| ثُمَّ اسْتَعْرِضْنَا وَقَارِنْ بَيْنَ مَنَاظِرِنَا وَمَنَاظِرِ سَائِرِ رِفَاقِنَا الَّذِينَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْمَلِكِ، ثُمَّ تَصَرَّفْ مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا تَشْهَدُهُ». | ١٣ |
14 So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days.
| فَاسْتَجَابَ لِطِلْبَتِهِمْ وَجَرَّبَهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. | ١٤ |
15 At the end of ten days their faces appeared better and fatter than all the youths who ate of the king's royal food.
| وَبَعْدَ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ بَدَتْ مَظَاهِرُهُمْ أَكْثَرَ عَافِيَةً وَأَوْفَرَ سِمَناً مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْفِتْيَانِ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْمَلِكِ | ١٥ |
16 So the steward took away their royal food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them vegetables.
| فَصَارَ الْمُشْرِفُ يَسْتَبْدِلُ مُخَصَّصَاتِ طَعَامِهِمْ وَخَمْرِ شَرَابِهِمْ بِالْخُضْرَوَاتِ. | ١٦ |
17 Now 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.
| وَوَهَبَ اللهُ أُولَئِكَ الْفِتْيَانَ الأَرْبَعَةَ مَعْرِفَةً وَعَقْلاً فِي كُلِّ ضُرُوبِ الْكِتَابَةِ وَالْعِلْمِ. وَكَانَ دَانِيَالُ فَطِناً فِي تَفْسِيرِ جَمِيعِ الرُّؤَى وَالأَحْلامِ. | ١٧ |
18 At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
| وَحِينَ أَزِفَ وَقْتُ مُثُولِهِمْ كَأَمْرِ الْمَلِكِ، أَحْضَرَهُمْ رَئِيسُ الْخِصْيَانِ أَمَامَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ، | ١٨ |
19 The king talked with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore they entered the king's service.
| فَتَحَدَّثَ إِلَيْهِمِ الْمَلِكُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ بَيْنَهُمْ جَمِيعاً مَنْ هُوَ مِثْلُ دَانِيَالَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا، فَاخْتَارَهُمْ لِلْمُثُولِ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ. | ١٩ |
20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.
| وَحِينَ شَرَعَ الْمَلِكُ فِي مُبَاحَثَتِهِمْ فِي شُؤُونِ الْعُلُومِ وَالْمَعَارِفِ وَجَدَهُمْ يَفُوقُونَ بِعَشَرَةِ أَضْعَافٍ جَمِيعَ السَّحَرَةِ وَالْمَجُوسِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مَمْلَكَتِهِ كُلِّهَا. | ٢٠ |
21 Daniel continued even to the first year of king Koresh.
| وَظَلَّ دَانِيَالُ هُنَاكَ إِلَى السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِوِلايَةِ كُورَشَ الْمَلِكِ. | ٢١ |
