3 And he said the king to Ashpenaz [the] chief of officials his to bring some of [the] people of Israel and some of [the] offspring of royalty and some of the nobles.
Eze nyere Ashipenaz, onyeisi ndị ozi ya iwu ka ọ kpọbata ụmụ okorobịa sitere nʼezinaụlọ eze na nke ndị ọchịchị nʼala Izrel nʼije ozi eze.

6 And he was among them from [the] people of Judah Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah.
Ndị so nʼime ha bụ Daniel, na Hananaya, na Mishael, na Azaraya, ha bụ ndị Juda.
7 And he assigned to them [the] chief of the officials names and he assigned to Daniel Belteshazzar and to Hananiah Shadrach and to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego.
Ma onyeisi ndị na-ejere eze ozi nyere ha aha ọhụrụ ọzọ Daniel ka ọ kpọrọ Belteshaza; Hananaya ka ọ kpọrọ Shedrak; ọ kpọrọ Mishael, Mishak; kpọkwa Azaraya, Abednego.
8 And he set Daniel on heart his that not he defiled himself with [the] delicaci[es] of the king and with [the] wine of drink his and he requested from [the] chief of the officials that not he will defile himself.
Ma Daniel kpebiri nʼobi ya na ọ gaghị emerụ onwe ya site nʼiri nri maọbụ ịṅụ mmanya eze. Ya mere ọ rịọrọ onyeisi ndị ozi ka ọ hapụ ya ka ọ ghara imerụ onwe ya.

Ma Chineke mere ka Daniel nweta ihuọma na obi ebere nʼaka onyeisi ndị na-ejere eze ozi. O nwekwara ọmịiko nʼebe Daniel nọ nʼihi ọnọdụ ha.
10 And he said [the] chief of the officials to Daniel [am] fearing I master my the king who he has assigned food your and drink your that why? will he see faces your looking thin more than the youths who [are] about age your and you will endanger head my to the king.
Ma onyeozi a gwara Daniel, “Ana m atụ egwu nʼihi onyenwe m eze, onye kwuru ihe unu ga-eri na ihe unu ga-aṅụ. Ọ bụrụ na ọ hụ na unu tara ahụ karịa ndị ọgbọ unu ndị ọzọ, ndụ m ga-anọ na nsogbu nʼaka onye eze.”
11 And he said Daniel to the guardian whom he had assigned [the] chief of the officials over Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah.
Daniel sịrị onyeisi ahụ e tinyere ọrụ ilekọta Daniel, na Hananaya, na Mishael, na Azaraya nʼaka,
12 Put to [the] test please servants your days ten so let people give to us some of the vegetables so we may eat and water so we may drink.
“Biko, nye anyị naanị ahịhịa nri, na mmiri ọṅụṅụ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe oriri anyị na ihe ọṅụṅụ anyị. Jiri ya lee anyị ule ụbọchị iri.
13 And they may appear before you appearance our and [the] appearance of the youths who are eating [the] delicaci[es] of the king and just as you will see deal with servants your.
Jirizie anya gị chọpụta ma o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti anyị na ndị ọzọ, ndị na-eri nri ọma nke eze nyere, site nʼihe ị hụrụ, mee ụmụodibo gị otu o kwesiri.”
14 And he listened to them to the thing this and he put to [the] test them days ten.
O kwenyere ime ihe ha kwuru, ọ nwalere ha abalị iri.
15 And from [the] end of days ten it appeared appearance their good and fat of flesh more than all the youths who were eating [the] delicaci[es] of the king.
Mgbe ụbọchị iri ahụ zuru, a chọpụtara na ahụ dị ha mma, chọpụtakwa na ha dị mma ile anya karịa ụmụ okorobịa ndị ọzọ e ji nri ọma niile eze nyere zụọ.
16 And he was the guardian taking away delicaci[es] their and [the] wine of drink their and giving to them vegetables.
Ya mere onyeisi ozi ahụ wepụrụ nri na mmanya ọma ahụ ha kwesiri iri ma nye ha naanị akwụkwọ nri.
17 And the youths these [the] four of them he gave to them God knowledge and insight in all writing and wisdom and Daniel he understood every vision and dreams.
Chineke mere ka ụmụ okorobịa anọ ndị a nwee ọgụgụisi pụrụ iche na nghọta nʼihe ọbụla gbasara edemede na amamihe niile. Daniel nwekwara nghọta ịkọwa ụdị ọhụ niile na nrọ niile.
18 And from [the] end of the days which he had said the king to bring them and he brought them [the] chief of the officials before Nebuchadnezzar.
Mgbe oge eze nyere a ga-eji kpọbata ha nʼije ozi ya zuru, onyeisi ndị na-eje ozi chere ha nʼihu Nebukadneza.
19 And he spoke with them the king and not he was found any of all of them like Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah and they stood before the king.
Ha na eze kparịtakwara ụka. Ma nʼime ụmụ okorobịa ahụ niile a zụrụ, o nweghị nke amamihe ya juru eze afọ dịka amamihe Daniel, na Hananaya, na Mishael, na Azaraya. Nʼihi nke a, o mere ka ha soro bụrụ ndị na-adụ ya ọdụ.
20 And every matter of wisdom of understanding which he sought from them the king and he found them ten hands above all the soothsayer-priests the conjurers who [were] in all kingdom his.
Mgbe ọ bụlakwa eze chọrọ ndụmọdụ banyere amamihe na nghọta, ọ na-achọpụta na ndụmọdụ ha na-enye ya na-adị mma okpukpu iri karịa ndụmọdụ nke ndị majiki ya na ndị maara ihe banyere kpakpando nọ nʼalaeze ya na-enye ya.
21 And he was Daniel until year one of Cyrus the king.
