Daniel 1
1 After King Jehoiakim had been ruling in Judah for almost three years, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem [with his army] and surrounded the city.
Hina bagade Yihoiagimi da Yuda soge amoga ouligisia, amola amogawi da ode udiana esalu, Nebiuga: denese amo da Ba: bilone soge amoga hina bagade esalu. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega doagala: musa: asi. Amola ea dadi gagui dunu ilia da soge amo huluane eale disi.
2 [After two years, ] Yahweh allowed Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] to capture Jehoiakim, [who was the] King of Judah. They also took some of the things that were in the temple of God, and took them to Babylonia. There Nebuchadnezzar put them in the temple of his god.
Hina Gode da logo doasiba: le, Nebiuga: denese da Yihoiagimi gagulaligi. Amola hano dili nasu liligi amola faigelei Gode Ea Debolo diasu ganodini dialu mogili e da lai. E da Yu dunu amola uda mogili, amo udigili hawa: hamomusa: Ba: bilone sogega oule asi. Amola Debolo liligi lai huluane e da ea ogogosu ‘gode’ ilia debolo diasu Ba: bilone sogega amo ganodini sali.
3 Then Nebuchadnezzar commanded Ashpenaz, the chief official in his palace, to bring [to him] some of the Israeli men [whom they had brought to Babylon. He wanted men] who belonged to important families, including the family of the King of Judah.
Amola hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da sia: beba: le, ea bisili ouligisu dunu amo ea dio da A: sebena: se, e da mugululi asi Isala: ili dunu amo ganodini hogolalu, ayeligi amo musa: da Isala: ili hina bagade amola eno dunu bagade ilia sosogo fi ganodini esalu, amo ilegei.
4 [King Nebuchadnezzar wanted only] men who were very healthy, handsome/good-looking, wise, well-educated, capable of learning many things, and suitable for working in the palace. He also wanted to teach them the Babylonian language and have them read things that had been written in the Babylonian language.
Nebiuga: denese da ayeligi noga: idafa odagi da noga: idafa amola da: i noga: idafa amai ayeligi ilegema: ne sia: i. Ilia da: i amoga da eno wadela: i hamedafa, ayeligi bagade dawa: galea amai ayeligi sugulu noga: le heda: i ayeligi fawane lasu. Amai ayeligi ilia da hedolo dawa: su lamu amola hina bagade ea diasu ganodini noga: le hawa: hamomu, ilia dawa: i. Amola A: sebena: se hi fawane, da amo ayeligi ilima dedesu amola idisu olelema: ne sia: i. Amo da Ba: bilone ilia sia: ga olelesu.
5 The king commanded [his servants], “Give them the same kind of food and wine that is given to me. Train them for three years. Then they will become my servants.”
Amola hina bagade da amane sia: i, goe esoga ayeligi ilia ha: i nasu amola hano nasu da hina bagade amola ea ouligisu dunu ilia lasu defele lamu da defea. Amola ilia da goe sugulu da ode udiana heda: lalu, amalu ilia da hina bagade ea hawa: hamomusa: ema adoba: mu.
6 Among the young Israeli men [who were chosen] were [me], Daniel, and Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who all came from Judah.
A: sebena: se da Yuda fi ayeligi mogili ilegei dagoi. Amo ilegei gilisisu ganodini, ayeligi biyaduyale ba: i. Ilia dio da Da: niele, Ha: nanaia, Misa: iele amola A: salaia. Huluane da Yuda fi dunu.
7 But Ashpenaz gave us [Babylonian] names. The name he gave to me was Belteshazzar, the name he gave to Hananiah was Shadrach, the name he gave to Mishael was Meshach, and the name he gave to Azariah was Abednego.
A: sebena: se da ilia dio bu gaheabolo asuli. Da: niele ea dio gaheabolo da Beledesia: sa. Amola Ha: nania ea dio gaheabolo da Sia: dala: ge, Misa: iele ea dio gaheabolo da Misia: ge amola A: salaia ea dio gaheabolo da Abedenigou.
8 But I decided that I would not eat the kind of food that the king ate, or drink the wine that he drank, because that would make me (ritually defiled/unacceptable to God). So I asked Ashpenaz to allow me to eat and drink other things.
Hina bagade amo ianoba, Ba: bilone ouligisu dunu da ha: i manu amola waini hano gaguli misi. Be amo ha: i manu da Yu sema ganodini ledo gala amo e dawa: beba: le, Da: niele da hihini hame manusa: dawa: i galu. Da: niele ea amane dawa: su. Amo ha: i manu amola waini na nanu, Gode Ea sida: iya giadofale hamomu e amane sia: i. Amaiba: le e da bisili ouligisu A: sebena: se ema adole ba: i, “Defea ha: i manu eno imunu defeala: ?” amane adole ba: i.
9 God had caused Ashpenaz to greatly respect me,
Amola Gode da A: sebena: se ea dogoga sia: beba: le, e da Da: nielema asigi galu.
10 but he was worried about what I suggested. He said, “My master, the king, has commanded that you eat the kinds of food and drink that he does. If [you eat other things and as a result] you become more thin and pale than the other young men who are your age, he will [order his soldiers to] cut off my head because of what you have done!”
Be A: sebena: se da hina bagadema beda: iba: le, e da Da: nielema amane sia: i, “Hina bagade da dia ha: i manu amola waini nasu ilegei dagoi. Amaiba: le, dilia da amo hame nabeba: le, dilia da: i da geloga: i amola eno ayeligi ilia da: i da noga: i ba: sea, hina bagade da na medole legemu.”
11 Ashpenaz had ordered a guard to watch me, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Amaiba: le, Da: niele da sosodo aligisu dunu amo A: sebena: se da Da: niele, Ha: nanaia, Misa: iele amola A: salaia ouligimusa: ilegei, ilima asili amane sia: i,
12 So I said to this guard: “[Please] test us for ten days. [During that time] give us [only] vegetables to eat and water to drink.
“Na hanai da dia eso nabuane ganodini nini adoba: ma. Dadami ha: i manu amola hano nasu amo fawane nini moma: ne ima.
13 After ten days, see how we look, and see how the other young men look, the ones who are eating the kind of food that the king eats. Then you can decide about [what food you will let us eat].”
Amola fa: no goe eso nabuane amoga di sodoma. Ayeligi dunu oda da hina bagade ea ha: i manu defele naha, amo ilia da: i da ninia da: i baligisa o hame baligisa, amo noga: le ba: ma. Amola ninia da: i hodo ea hou ba: beba: le, dia fa: no ninima adi hou hamoma: bela: , amo dawa: ma.”
14 The guard agreed to do what I suggested, and he tested us like that for ten days.
Sosodo aligisu e da Da: niele ea sia: defele eso nabuane amoga amo hou hamomusa: sia: i.
15 After ten days, [he saw that] my three friends and I looked healthier [DOU] than the young men who had been eating the food that the king wanted them to eat.
Amola eso nabuane amo fisili, ouligisu dunu ea ba: loba: , ilia da: i hodo da noga: idafa ba: i. Amola ilia da: i hodo ba: su da ayeligi dunu eno ilia ha: i manu hina bagade ea ilima ilegei, amo ilia da: i hodo ba: su baligi dagoi.
16 So after that, the guard gave us [only] vegetables to eat; he did not give us the king’s special food and wine.
Amaiba: le, sosodo aligisu e da Da: niele amola ea sama udiana ilima ha: i manu amo hina bagade ea iasu liligi ilima hame i. E da dadami fawane ilima iasu.
17 And God gave to us four young men wisdom and the ability to study many things that Babylonians had written and studied. And [he also gave to] me the ability to understand the meaning of visions and dreams.
Amola Gode da dawa: su noga: i amo ayeligi biyaduyale ilima i. Amola Gode da fidibiba: le, ilia da idisu hou, dedesu hou amola osobo bagade dawa: su hou huludafa, ilia dawa: i galu. Amola Gode da dawa: su Da: nielema simasia ba: su olelesu i dagoi.
18 When those three years that the king had set for training us young men from Judah were ended, Ashpenaz brought all of us to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Amola ayeligi dunu ode udiana hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ea sugulu heda: lalu. Amo ode da gidigisia, A:sebena: se da ili hina bagade ema oule asi.
19 The king talked with [each of] us, and realized that none of the other young men were as capable as Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah and I were. So we four became the king’s special advisors/servants.
Amola hina bagade da dunu oda ilima sia: sa: ili, e amane ba: i, Da: niele, Ha: nanaia, Misa: iele amola A: salaia, ilia dawa: su da eno ayeligi dunu ilia dawa: su baligi dagoi. Amaiba: le ilia da ea ouligisu fi amo ganodini hawa: hamosu lidi dagoi.
20 In all important matters, the king found that what we [four men] advised was ten times as good as what all the magicians and sorcerers/fortune-tellers in his kingdom advised.
Hina bagade da ilima liligi bagade adole ba: i. Amola ilia dawa: su da bagadeba: le, ilia da ea adole ba: i huluane amoma adole imunusa: dawa: i. Ilia dawa: su da nabi dunu amola ba: la: lusu dunu huluane Ba: bilone soge ganodini esalu amo ilia dawa: su bagadewane baligi dagoi ba: i.
21 I remained [there serving the king more than 60 years], until the first year that Cyrus became king.
Amaiba: le Da: niele da eso bagohamedafa hina bagade ea ouligisu fi amo ganodini hawa: hamosu. Besia hina bagade amo ea dio Sailase, da Ba: bilone amoma hasalasiba: le fawane fisi.
