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.
Bara Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa keessa, waggaa sadaffaatti Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon dhufee Yerusaalemin marse.
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.
Gooftaanis Yehooyaaqiim mooticha Yihuudaa miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa tokko tokko wajjin dabarsee harka isaatti kenne. Miʼoota kanneenis gara mana Waaqa isaa, gara Baabilonitti geeffatee mankuusaa mana Waaqa isaa keessa kaaʼate.
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—
Mootichis ergasii Ashfenaz itti gaafatamaa qondaaltota isaa sana waamee akka inni Israaʼeloota sanyii moototaatii fi maatii ulfina qabeeyyii taʼan tokko tokko ol galchu ajaje;
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.
isaanis dargaggeeyyii hirʼina dhagnaa hin qabne, babbareedoo, kanneen barumsa gosa kamii iyyuu barachuuf dandeettii ogummaa qaban, kanneen beekumsaan badhaadhan, kanneen waan hunda hubachuu dandaʼanii fi masaraa mootummaa keessa tajaajiluuf gaʼumsa qaban turan. Innis afaanii fi katabbii Baabilonotaa isaan barsiisuu qaba ture.
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.
Mootichis nyaataa fi daadhii wayinii kan guyyaa guyyaatti isaan barbaachisu maaddii mootummaa irraa isaaniif ajaje. Isaanis tajaajila mootichaa seenuuf waggaa sadii leenjifamuu qabu ture.
6 Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, some of the people of Judah.
Isaan kanneen keessaa warri Yihuudaadhaa dhufan Daaniʼel, Hanaaniyaa, Miishaaʼeelii fi Azaariyaa turan.
7 The chief official gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.
Itti gaafatamaan qondaaltotaa sun Daaniʼeliin Beelxishaazaar, Hanaaniyaadhaan Shaadraak, Miishaaʼeelin, Meeshak, Azaariyaadhaan immoo Abdanaagoo jedhee maqaa haaraa baaseef.
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.
Daaniʼel garuu nyaataa fi daadhii wayinii mootichaatiin of xureessuu dide; innis akkasiin akka of hin xureessineef itti gaafatamaa qondaaltotaa sana eeyyama gaafate.
9 Now God gave Daniel favor and compassion through the respect that the chief official had for him.
Waaqnis yeroo kanatti akka Daaniʼel fuula qondaala sanaa duratti surraa fi gara laafina argatu godhe;
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.”
qondaalli sun garuu Daaniʼeliin, “Ani gooftaa koo isa nyaataa fi dhugaatii keessan isiniif ramade sana nan sodaadha; inni maaliif dargaggoota hiriyoota keessan kaan caalaa huqqattanii isin arga? Kanaan isin mootichi balaa mataa kootti fiddu” jedhe.
11 Then Daniel spoke to the steward whom the chief official had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Kana irratti Daaniʼel waardiyyaa itti gaafatamaan qondaaltotaa sun Daaniʼelii fi Hanaaniyaa irratti, Miishaaʼeelii fi Azaariyaa irratti muude Meldaariin akkana jedhe;
12 He said, “Please test us, your servants, for ten days. Give us only some vegetables to eat and water to drink.
“Maaloo tajaajiltoota kee bultii kudhaniif ilaali; biqiltuu nyaatamuu fi bishaan dhugamu malee waan biraa nuuf hin kennin.
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.”
Sana booddee bifa keenyaa fi bifa dargaggoota nyaata mootii nyaatanii wal biratti ilaali; waan argite irratti hundaaʼiitii tajaajiltoota kee irratti waan feete murteessi.”
14 So the steward agreed with him to do this, and he tested them for ten days.
Innis yaada kana fudhatee bultii kudhan isaan qore.
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.
Dhuma bultii kurnan sanaattis isaan dargaggoota nyaata mootii nyaatan sana caalaa fayyaaleyyii fi warra dhagni isaanii furdatee miidhage taʼanii argaman.
16 So the steward took away their delicacies and their wine and gave them only vegetables.
Kanaafuu waardiyyaan sun qooda nyaata filatamaa fi daadhii wayinii kan isaan dhuguu qaban sanaa raafuu qofa isaaniif kenne.
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.
Waaqnis dargaggoota afran kanneeniif barumsaa fi ogummaa hunda keessatti beekumsaa fi dandeetii kenneef. Daaniʼelis mulʼataa fi abjuu hunda hubachuu dandaʼa ture.
18 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
Yommuu guyyaan mootichi akka isaan gara isaatti dhiʼaatan murteesse gaʼettis, qondaalli hangaftichi fuula Nebukadnezar duratti isaan dhiʼeesse.
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.
Mootichis isaan haasofsiise; innis nama Daaniʼeliin, Hanaaniyaan, Miishaaʼeelii fi Azaariyaan qixxaatu tokko illee hin arganne; kanaafuu isaan hojii mootichaa jalqaban.
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.
Mootichis waaʼee ogummaa fi beekumsaa kan isaan gaafate hundaan akka isaan ilaaltotaa fi falfaltoota biyyattiitti argaman hunda harka kudhan caalan arge.
21 Daniel was there until the first year of King Cyrus.
Daaniʼelis hamma waggaa tokkoffaa Qiiros mootichaatti achuma ture.
