< 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.
I te toru o nga tau o te kingitanga o Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura ka tae mai a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona ki Hiruharama, whakapaea ana e ia.
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.
Na ka hoatu e te Ariki a Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura ki tona ringa, me etahi o nga oko o te whare o te Atua, a kawea ana e ia ki te whenua o Hinara, ki te whare o tona atua; i mauria atu ano nga oko e ia ki te whare taonga o tona atua.
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,
Na ka ki atu te kingi ki a Ahapenata rangatira o ana unaka, kia tikina etahi o nga tama a Iharaira, ara o nga uri o te kingi o nga rangatira hoki;
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.
Etahi tama kahore nei o ratou koha, he pai ano te ahua, e matau ana ki nga whakaaro nui katoa, e mohio ana ki nga tikanga, e matau ana ki nga whakaaro mohio, he hunga e pai ana hei tu ki te whare o te kingi; a mana ratou e whakaako ki te matauran ga, ki te reo hoki o nga Karari.
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.
I whakaritea ano e te kingi tetahi wahi o ta te kingi kai ma ratou, he mea mo ia ra, mo ia ra, me tetahi wahi o te waina i inumia e ia, a kia toru nga tau e whangaia ai ratou; kia taka ai aua tau, ka tu ratou ki te aroaro o te kingi.
6 Therfor Danyel, Ananye, Myzael, and Azarie, of the sones of Juda, weren among hem.
Na i roto i enei ko etahi o nga tama a Hura, ko Raniera, ko Hanania, ko Mihaera, ko Ataria.
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.
Na ka tapa he ingoa mo ratou e te rangatira unaka: ko tana ingoa mo Raniera, ko Peretehatara; mo Hanania, ko Hataraka; mo Mihaera, ko Mehaka; mo Ataria, ko Apereneko.
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.
Otiia kua takoto to Raniera whakaaro i roto i tona ngakau, kia kaua ia e poke i ta te kingi kai, i te waina ranei i inumia e ia. Na ka tono ia ki te rangatira unaka kia kaua ia e whakapoke i a ia.
9 Forsothe God yaf grace and merci to Daniel, in the siyt of the prince of onest seruauntis and chast.
Na, kua mea te Atua kia manakohia a Raniera, kia arohaina e te rangatira unaka.
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.
Na ka mea te rangatira unaka ki a Raniera, E wehi aha ahau i toku ariki, i te kingi, nana nei i whakarite ta koutou e kai ai, ta koutou e inu ai: hei aha hoki i tirohia mai ai e ia o koutou mata he kino iho i o nga tamariki pena me koutou te kau matua? ma kona ka meinga ahau e koutou kia hopohopo ki toku upoko i te kingi.
11 And Danyel seide to Malazar, whom the prince of onest seruauntis and chast hadde ordeynede on Danyel, Ananye, Mysael, and Asarie,
Ano ra ko Raniera ki a Meretara, ki ta te rangatira unaka i whakarite ai hei kaitirotiro mo Raniera, ratou ko Hanania, ko Mihaera, ko Ataria:
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,
Tena ra, whakamatauria au pononga, kia tekau nga ra; me homai e ratou he pini hei kai ma matou, he wai hoki hei inu ma matou.
13 and the cheris of children that eten the kyngis mete; and as thou seest, so do thou with thi seruauntis.
Hei reira ka mea kia tirohia o matou mata i tou aroaro, me te mata ano o nga taitamariki e kai ana i te kai a te kingi; na kia rite ki tau e kite ai tau e mea ai ki au pononga.
14 And whanne he herde siche a word, he asaiede hem bi ten daies.
Heoi ka whakaaetia e ia tenei mea a ratou, a kotahi tekau nga ra i whakamatauria ai ratou e ia.
15 Forsothe after ten daies the cheris of hem apperiden betere and fattere, than alle the children that eeten the kyngis mete.
Na, i te mutunga o nga ra kotahi tekau, ka kitea o ratou mata, ataahua atu, tetere atu i o nga tamariki katoa i kai i ta te kingi kai.
16 Certis Malazar took the metis, and the wyn of the drynk of hem, and yaf to hem potagis.
Heoi ka tangohia atu e Meretara te wahi kai ma ratou, me te waina ano hei inu ma ratou, a homai ana e ia he pini ma ratou.
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.
Na, ko aua tama tokowha, i homai e te Atua ki a ratou he matauranga, he mohio ki nga pukapuka katoa, ki nga whakaaro nunui: a i a Raniera te mohio ki nga kite katoa, ki nga moemoea.
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.
Na, i te takanga o nga ra i ki ai te kingi kia kawea atu ratou, ka kawea atu ratou e te rangatira unaka ki te aroaro o Nepukaneha.
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.
Na ka korerorero te kingi ki a ratou; a kihai i kitea i roto i a ratou katoa tetahi e rite ana ki a Raniera ratou ko Hanania, ko Mihaera, ko Ataria: na tu ana ratou i te aroaro o te kingi.
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.
Na, i nga mea katoa o te whakaaro nui, o te matauranga i ui ai te kingi ki a ratou, ka kitea e ia tekau noa atu to ratou pai i to nga tohunga maori katoa, i to nga kaititiro whetu puta noa i tona kingitanga.
21 Forsothe Danyel was til to the firste yeer of king Cyrus.
I tutuki ano a Raniera a tae noa ki te tuatahi o nga tau o Kingi Hairuha.
