Daniyel 1
1 A Shekara ta uku ta mulki Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda, Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya zo Urushalima ya kuma yi mata ƙawanya.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Sai Ubangiji ya bashe Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda a hannunsa, tare da waɗansu kayayyakin haikalin Allah. Ya ɗauki waɗannan kayan zuwa cikin haikalin allahnsa a Babilon cikin ma’ajin gidan allahnsa.
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
3 Sa’an nan sarkin ya umarci Ashfenaz, shugaban fadarsa yă kawo waɗansu daga cikin Isra’ilawan da suka fito daga gidan sarauta da kuma na fitattun mutane.
And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the princes;
4 Matasa maza waɗanda ba su da wata naƙasa kuma kyawawa, hazikai ta kowace hanyar koyo, sanannu, masu saurin fahimtar abu, da kuma waɗanda suka cancanci su yi aiki a fadar sarki. Zai koya musu harshen Babiloniyawa da kuma littattafansu.
Children in whom was no blemish, but of good appearance, and skilful in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
5 Sarki kuma ya sa a ba su abinci da ruwan inabi kowace rana daga cikin abincin sarki. Za a koyar da su har shekaru uku, bayan haka kuma su shiga yin wa sarki hidima.
And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s food, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end of which they might stand before the king.
6 Daga cikin waɗannan da aka zaɓa akwai waɗansu daga Yahuda, Daniyel, Hananiya, Mishayel da kuma Azariya.
Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
7 Sai sarkin fada ya raɗa musu sababbin sunaye, ga Daniyel ya raɗa masa Belteshazar; ga Hananiya ya raɗa masa Shadrak; ga Mishayel ya raɗa masa Meshak; ga Azariya kuma ya raɗa masa Abednego.
To whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave to Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
8 Amma Daniyel ya ƙudura a zuciyarsa ba zai ƙazantar da kansa da abinci da ruwan inabin sarki ba, sai ya tambayi sarkin fada don a ba shi izinin kada yă ƙazantar da kansa ta wannan hanya.
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s food, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9 Sai Allah ya sa sarkin fada ya nuna masa tagomashi ya kuma ƙaunaci Daniyel,
Now God had brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the prince of the eunuchs.
10 amma sai sarkin fada ya ce wa Daniyel, “Ina jin tsoron ranka yă daɗe, sarkina wanda ya sa a ba ku abinci da ruwan inabi. Me zai sa yă ga kuna ramewa fiye da sauran samari, tsaranku? Sarki zai sa a fille mini kai saboda ku.”
And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the children who are of your age? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
11 Sai Daniyel ya ce wa mai gadi wanda sarkin fada ya sa yă kula da Daniyel, Hananiya, Mishayel da Azariya,
Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 “Ina roƙonka ka gwada bayinka kwana goma. Kada ka ba mu kome sai kayan lambu mu ci da kuma baƙin ruwa mu sha.
Test thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
13 Sa’an nan sai ka dubi fuskokinmu da na sauran samarin da suke ci daga abincin sarki; sa’an nan ka yi da bayinka bisa ga abin da ka gani.”
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king’s food: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
14 Sai ya amince da haka ya kuma gwada su har kwana goma.
So he consented to them in this matter, and tried them ten days.
15 A ƙarshen kwana goma sai aka ga fuskokinsu suna sheƙi, sun kuma yi ƙiba fiye da samarin da suke cin abinci irin na sarki.
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children who ate the portion of the king’s food.
16 Sai mai gadinsu ya janye abinci da ruwan inabi irin na sarki, ya ci gaba da ba su kayan lambu.
Thus Melzar took away the portion of their food, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them vegetables.
17 Ga samarin nan guda huɗu Allah ya ba su sani da ganewar dukan irin littattafai da kuma koyarwa. Daniyel kuma ya iya gane wahayi da kowane irin mafarki.
As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 A ƙarshen lokacin da sarki ya sa da za a kawo su ciki, sai sarkin fada ya gabatar da su ga Nebukadnezzar.
Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 Sarki kuwa ya yi magana da su, sai ya gano cewa babu wani kamar Daniyel, Hananiya, Mishayel da kuma Azariya; don haka sai suka shiga yi wa sarki hidima.
And the king talked with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore they stood before the king.
20 A dukan al’amuran hikima da na fahimta wanda sarki ya tambaye su, ya tarar sun fi dukan masu sihiri da bokaye waɗanda suke cikin mulkinsa sau goma.
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
21 Daniyel kuwa ya kasance a nan har shekara ta farko ta mulkin sarki Sairus.
And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
