Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylonia came to Jerusalem and surrounded the city to cut off all supplies to it.
Године треће царовања Јоакима, цара Јудиног дође Навуходоносор, цар вавилонски на Јерусалим, и опколи га.
2 The Lord gave Nebuchadnezzar victory over Jehoiakim king of Judah, and he gave him some of the sacred objects from the house of God. He brought them into the land of Babylonia, to the house of his god, and he placed the sacred objects in his god's treasury.
И Господ му даде у руку Јоакима, цара Јудиног и део судова дома Божијег, и однесе их у земљу Сенар у дом бога свог, и метну судове у ризницу бога свог.
3 The king spoke to Ashpenaz, his chief official, to bring in some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility—
И рече цар Асфеназу старешини својих дворана да доведе између синова Израиљевих, и од царског семена и од кнезова,
4 young men without blemish, attractive in appearance, skillful in all wisdom, filled with knowledge and understanding, and qualified to serve in the king's palace. He was to teach them the Babylonians' literature and language.
Младиће на којима нема мане, и који су лепог лица и научени свакој мудрости и вешти знању и разумни и који могу стајати у царском двору, па да их учи књигу и језик халдејски.
5 The king counted out for them a daily portion of his delicacies and some of the wine that he drank. These young men were to be trained for three years, and after that, they would serve the king.
И одреди им цар оброк на дан од јела царског и од вина које он пијаше, да се хране три године, а после да стоје пред царем.
6 Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, some of the people of Judah.
А међу њима беху од синова Јудиних Данило, Ананија, Мисаило и Азарија.
7 The chief official gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.
А старешина над дворанима даде им имена, и Данилу наде име Валтасар, а Ананији Седрах, а Мисаилу Мисах, а Азарији Авденаго.
8 But Daniel intended in his mind that he would not pollute himself with the king's delicacies or with the wine that he drank. So he asked permission from the chief official that he might not pollute himself.
Али Данило науми да се не скврни оброком јела царевог и вином које он пијаше, и замоли се старешини над дворанима да се не скврни.
9 Now God gave Daniel favor and compassion through the respect that the chief official had for him.
И даде Бог Данилу те нађе милост и љубав у старешине над дворанима.
10 The chief official said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my master the king. He has commanded what food and drink you should have. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men of your own age? The king might have my head because of you.”
И рече старешина над дворанима Данилу: Бојим се господара свог цара, који вам је одредио јело и пиће; јер кад цар види лица ваша лошија него у осталих младића, ваших врсника, зашто да ми учините да будем главом крив цару?
11 Then Daniel spoke to the steward whom the chief official had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
А Данило рече Амелсару, ког старешина над дворанима постави над Данилом, Ананијом, Мисаилом и Азаријом:
12 He said, “Please test us, your servants, for ten days. Give us only some vegetables to eat and water to drink.
Огледај слуге своје за десет дана, нека нам се даје вариво да једемо и вода да пијемо.
13 Then compare our appearance with the appearance of the young men who eat the king's delicacies, and treat us, your servants, based on what you see.”
Па онда нека нам се виде лица пред тобом и лица младића који једу царско јело, па како видиш, онако чини са слугама својим.
14 So the steward agreed with him to do this, and he tested them for ten days.
И послуша их у том, и огледа их за десет дана.
15 At the end of ten days their appearance was more healthy, and they were better nourished, than all the young men who ate the king's delicacies.
А после десет дана лица им дођоше лепша и меснатија него у свих младића који јеђаху царско јело.
16 So the steward took away their delicacies and their wine and gave them only vegetables.
И Амелсар узимаше јело њихово и вино које њима требаше пити, и даваше им варива.
17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and insight in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel could understand all kinds of visions and dreams.
И даде Бог свој четворици младића знање и разум у свакој књизи и мудрости; а Данилу даде да разуме сваку утвару и сне.
18 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
И кад прође време по коме цар беше рекао да их изведу, изведе их старешина над дворанима пред Навуходоносора.
19 The king spoke with them, and among the whole group there were none to compare with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. They stood before the king, ready to serve him.
И говори цар с њима, и не нађе се међу свима њима ни један као Данило, Ананија, Мисаило и Азарија; и стајаху пред царем.
20 In every question of wisdom and understanding that the king asked them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and those who claimed to speak with the dead, who were in his entire kingdom.
И у свему чему треба мудрост и разум, за шта их цар запита, нађе да су десет пута бољи од свих врача и звездара што их беше у свему царству његовом.
21 Daniel was there until the first year of King Cyrus.
И оста Данило до прве године цара Кира.
