Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
Iti maikatlo a tawen ti panagturay ni Jehoyakim nga ari ti Juda, immay ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia iti Jerusalem ket linakubna ti siudad tapno pasardengen dagiti abasto iti daytoy.
2 The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. He brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
Pinagballigi ti Dios ni Nebucadnesar maibusor kenni Jehoyakim nga ari ti Juda, ket intedna kenkuana dagiti dadduma a nasagradoan a banbanag manipud iti balay ti Dios. Impanna dagitoy iti daga ti Babilonia, iti balay ti diosna, ket inkabilna dagiti nasagradoan a banbanag iti pagikabkabilan iti gameng ti diosna.
3 The king spoke to Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, even of the royal offspring and of the nobles:
Binilin ti ari ni Aspenaz a kangatoan nga opisialna nga iyunegna dagiti sumagmamano a tattao ti Israel, ti pamilia ti ari ken dagiti mararaem—
4 youths in whom was no defect, but well-favored, skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding science, and who had the ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
dagiti agtutubo a lallaki nga awan pakapilawanna, nataraki ti langana, napnoan iti kinasirib, napnoan iti pannakaammo ken pannakaawat, ken mabalin nga agserbi iti palasio ti ari. Isurona kadakuada dagiti sursuro ken pagsasao dagiti taga-Babilonia.
5 The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s delicacies 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.
Inraman ida ti ari iti inaldaw a paset ti taraonna ken ti arak nga in-inumenna. Tallo a tawen a masanay dagitoy nga agtutubo a lallaki, kalpasan dayta, agserbida iti ari.
6 Now among these of the children of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Karaman kadagitoy ket da Daniel, Hananias, Misael kenni Asarias ken dagiti dadduma a tattao ti Juda.
7 The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.
Pinanaganan ida ti kangatoan nga opisial: Pinanagananna ni Daniel iti Beltesazar, ni Hananias iti Sedrac, ni Misael iti Mesac, ken ni Asarias iti Abednego.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Ngem inkeddeng ni Daniel a saanna a tulawan ti bagina babaen iti taraon ti ari wenno babaen iti arak nga in-inumenna. Isu a dimmawat isuna iti pammalubos iti kangatoan nga ofisial a saanna a tulawan ti bagina.
9 Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
Ita, naasian ken pinaboran ti Dios ni Daniel babaen iti panagraem kenkuana ti kangatoan nga opisial.
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? Then you would endanger my head with the king.”
Kinuna ti kangatoan nga opisial kenni Daniel, “Mabutengak iti apok nga ari. Imbilinna no ania a taraon ken mainom ti maited kenka. Kasano ngay no makitana a saan a nasayaat ti langam ngem kadagiti dadduma nga agtutubo a lallaki a kapatadam? Amangan no patayennak ti ari gapu kenka.”
11 Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Ket nakisao ni Daniel iti dinutokan ti kangatoan nga opisial a mangaywan kada Daniel, Hananias, Misael ken Azarias.
12 “Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.
Kinunana, “Pangaasim ta subokennakami nga adipenmo iti sangapulo nga aldaw. Ikkannakami laeng kadagiti nateng a kanenmi ken danum nga inumenmi.
13 Then let our faces be examined before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s delicacies; and as you see, deal with your servants.”
Kalpasanna, idiligmo ti langami iti langa dagiti agtutubo a lallaki a mangan iti taraon ti ari, ket tratoennakami nga adipenmo a maibasar iti makitam.”
14 So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.
Isu nga immannugot ti mangay-aywan nga aramiden daytoy, ket pinaliiwna ida iti sangapulo nga aldaw.
15 At the end of ten days, their faces appeared fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate of the king’s delicacies.
Kalpasan ti sangapulo nga aldaw, nasalsalun-at ti langada, ken naluklukmegda ngem dagiti dadduma a lallaki a nangan kadagiti taraon ti ari.
16 So the steward took away their delicacies and the wine that they were given to drink, and gave them vegetables.
Isu nga inikkat ti mangay-aywan dagiti taraon ken arakda ket inikkanna laeng ida kadagiti nateng.
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.
Inikkan ti Dios dagitoy uppat nga agtutubo a lallaki iti pannakaammo ken saririt iti amin a sursuro ken kinasirib, ken maawatan ni Daniel dagiti amin a kita dagiti sirmata ken dagiti tagtagainep.
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.
Kalpasan ti tiempo nga intuding ti ari a pannakaipanda, impan ida ti kangatoan nga opisial iti sangoanan ni Nebucadnesar.
19 The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king.
Nakisarita ti ari kadakuada, ken iti entero a bunggoy, awan a pulos ti maidilig kada Daniel, Hananias, Misael, ken Azarias. Nagtakderda iti sangoanan ti ari, a nakasagana nga agserbi kenkuana.
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.
Iti tunggal saludsod ti kinasirib ken pannakaawat a saludsoden ti ari kadakuada, natakuatanna a maminsangapulo a daras a nalalaingda ngem dagiti amin a salamangkero ken dagiti mangibagbaga a makasaritada dagiti natay, nga adda iti entero a pagarianna.
21 Daniel continued even to the first year of King Cyrus.
Adda sadiay ni Daniel agingga iti umuna a tawen ti panagturay ni Ari Cyrus.
