< Daniel 1 >
1 In the thridde yeer of the rewme of Joachym, king of Juda, Nabugodonosor, the kyng of Babiloyne, cam to Jerusalem, and bisegide it.
Nan twazyèm lanne rèy Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, Nèbikadneza, wa lavil Babilòn, vin atake lavil Jerizalèm. Li sènen l' toupatou.
2 And the Lord bitook in his hond Joachym, the kyng of Juda, and he took a part of the vessels of the hous of God; and he bar out tho in to the lond of Sennaar, in to the hous of his god, and he took the vessels in to the hous of tresour of his god.
Seyè a kite l' mete men sou wa Jojakim ak bonkou nan bagay yo te mete apa pou fè sèvis Bondye nan Tanp lan. Nèbikadneza mennen kèk prizonye avè l' nan tanp bondye pa l' yo lavil Babilòn. Lèfini li mete bagay li te pran yo nan depo tanp bondye pa l' yo.
3 And the kyng seide to Asphaneth, souereyn of his onest seruauntis and chast, that he schulde brynge yn of the sones of Israel, and of the kyngis seed, and the children of tirauntis, in whiche weren no wem,
Wa a te bay Achpenaz, kòmandan nèg konfyans li yo, lòd pou l' te chwazi nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte yo kèk jenn gason ki soti nan fanmi wa a, osinon nan fanmi grannèg yo.
4 faire in schap, and lerned in al wisdom, war in kunnyng, and tauyt in chastisyng, and that myyten stonde in the paleis of the kyng, that he schulde teche hem the lettris and langage of Caldeis.
Se pou jenn mesye sa yo bèl gason san okenn enfimite. Se pou yo gen bon konprann, bon levasyon ak anpil konesans pou yo ka sèvi nan palè wa a. Achpenaz te gen pou l' te moutre yo jan pou yo li, jan pou yo ekri lang moun Babilòn yo.
5 And the king ordeynede to hem lijflode bi ech dai of hise meetis, and of the wyn wherof he drank; that thei nurschid bi thre yeer, schulden stonde aftirward bifor the siyt of the kyng.
Wa a te bay lòd pou chak jou yo te pran nan manje ak nan diven yo sèvi sou tab wa a pou ba yo. Se pou yo pase twazan konsa. Apre sa, y'a parèt devan wa a pou sèvis li.
6 Therfor Danyel, Ananye, Myzael, and Azarie, of the sones of Juda, weren among hem.
Nan jenn gason yo te chwazi yo te gen kat ki te soti nan branch fanmi Jida: se te Danyèl, Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya.
7 And the souereyn of onest seruauntis and chast puttide to hem names; to Danyel he puttide Balthasar; to Ananye, Sidrach; to Mysael, Misach; and to Azarie, Abdenago.
Kòmandan nèg konfyans wa yo te chanje non ti mesye yo. Li te rele Danyèl Beltechaza, Ananya Chadrak, Michayèl Mechak, Azarya Abèdnego.
8 Forsothe Danyel purposide in his herte, that he schulde not be defoulid of the boord of the kyng, nether of the wyn of his drink; and he preiede the souereyn of onest seruauntis and chast, that he schulde not be defoulid.
Danyèl te pran desizyon nan kè l' pou l' pa t' manyen ni manje ni diven yo sèvi nan palè wa a pou l' te ka toujou nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi Bondye l'. Se konsa, li al jwenn kòmandan nèg konfyans wa a, li mande l' pèmisyon pou l' pa blije manje manje sa yo.
9 Forsothe God yaf grace and merci to Daniel, in the siyt of the prince of onest seruauntis and chast.
Bondye fè Achpenaz, kòmandan nèg konfyans wa a, te renmen Danyèl, san l' te ale avè l'.
10 And the prince of onest seruauntis and chast seide to Daniel, Y drede my lord the king, that ordeinede to you mete and drynk; and if he seeth youre faces lennere than othere yonge wexynge men, youre eueneeldis, ye schulen condempne myn heed to the kyng.
Men, Achpenaz di Danyèl konsa: -Mwen pè wa a, mèt mwen an. Se wa a menm ki deside sa pou n' manje ak sa pou n' bwè. Si nou pa anfòm tankou lòt jenn gason menm laj avè nou yo, nou ka lakòz wa a touye m'.
11 And Danyel seide to Malazar, whom the prince of onest seruauntis and chast hadde ordeynede on Danyel, Ananye, Mysael, and Asarie,
Lè sa a, Danyèl al jwenn gad kòmandan an te mete reskonsab li ansanm ak Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya. Li di l':
12 Y biseche, asaie thou vs thi seruauntis bi ten daies, and potagis be youun to vs to ete, and water to drynke; and biholde thou oure cheris,
-Pandan dis jou ban nou legim ase pou n' manje ak dlo pou nou bwè.
13 and the cheris of children that eten the kyngis mete; and as thou seest, so do thou with thi seruauntis.
Apre sa, w'a wè ki jan nou ye devan lòt jenn gason yo k'ap manje manje wa a. Lè sa a, w'a fè sa ou vle avè nou, dapre sa w'a wè.
14 And whanne he herde siche a word, he asaiede hem bi ten daies.
Gad la dakò pou l' ba yo yon chans pandan dis jou.
15 Forsothe after ten daies the cheris of hem apperiden betere and fattere, than alle the children that eeten the kyngis mete.
Apre dis jou yo, figi ti mesye yo te pi fre, yo te pi anfòm pase jenn gason ki te manje manje wa a.
16 Certis Malazar took the metis, and the wyn of the drynk of hem, and yaf to hem potagis.
Depi lè sa a, gad la pa t' ba yo manje ak diven wa a te bay pou yo a, li ba yo legim pito.
17 Forsothe to these children God yaf kunnyng and lernyng in ech book, and in al wisdom; but to Daniel God yaf vndurstondyng of alle visiouns and dremys.
Bondye bay kat jenn gason sa yo konesans, lespri ak bon konprann pou yo te ka li tout kalite liv. Lèfini, li bay Danyèl don pou l' te konprann sans tout kalite vizyon ak tout kalite rèv.
18 Therfor whanne the daies weren fillid, aftir whiche the kyng seide, that thei schulden be brouyt yn, the souereyn of onest seruauntis and chast brouyte in hem, in the siyt of Nabugodonosor.
Apre tan wa a te fikse a fin pase, Achpenaz mennen tout jenn gason yo bay wa Nèbikadneza.
19 And whanne the kyng hadde spoke to hem, siche weren not foundun of alle, as Daniel, Ananye, Misael, and Azarie; and thei stoden in the siyt of the king.
Wa a pale ak yo tout. Nan mitan tout jenn gason yo li pa t' jwenn tankou Danyèl, Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya. Se konsa yo rete nan palè a pou sèvi wa a.
20 And ech word of wisdom and of vndurstondyng, which the king axide of hem, he foond in hem ten fold ouer alle false dyuynouris and astronomyens, that weren in al his rewme.
Lè wa a mande yo konsèy pou nenpòt pwoblèm ki mande konesans ak lespri, li wè jenn gason sa yo te konnen dis fwa plis pase tout lòt divinò ak moun ki li zetwal nan tout peyi a.
21 Forsothe Danyel was til to the firste yeer of king Cyrus.
Se konsa, Danyèl rete nan palè a jouk lè wa Siris antre lavil Babilòn.
