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.
3 Eze nyere Ashipenaz, onyeisi ndị ozi ya iwu ka ọ kpọbata ụmụ okorobịa sitere nʼezinaụlọ eze na nke ndị ọchịchị nʼala Izrel nʼije ozi eze.

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.
6 Ndị so nʼime ha bụ Daniel, na Hananaya, na Mishael, na Azaraya, ha bụ ndị Juda.
Therfor Danyel, Ananye, Myzael, and Azarie, of the sones of Juda, weren among hem.
7 Ma onyeisi ndị na-ejere eze ozi nyere ha aha ọhụrụ ọzọ Daniel ka ọ kpọrọ Belteshaza; Hananaya ka ọ kpọrọ Shedrak; ọ kpọrọ Mishael, Mishak; kpọkwa Azaraya, Abednego.

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.
9 Ma Chineke mere ka Daniel nweta ihuọma na obi ebere nʼaka onyeisi ndị na-ejere eze ozi. O nwekwara ọmịiko nʼebe Daniel nọ nʼihi ọnọdụ ha.
Forsothe God yaf grace and merci to Daniel, in the siyt of the prince of onest seruauntis and chast.
10 Ma onyeozi a gwara Daniel, “Ana m atụ egwu nʼihi onyenwe m eze, onye kwuru ihe unu ga-eri na ihe unu ga-aṅụ. Ọ bụrụ na ọ hụ na unu tara ahụ karịa ndị ọgbọ unu ndị ọzọ, ndụ m ga-anọ na nsogbu nʼaka onye eze.”
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.
11 Daniel sịrị onyeisi ahụ e tinyere ọrụ ilekọta Daniel, na Hananaya, na Mishael, na Azaraya nʼaka,
And Danyel seide to Malazar, whom the prince of onest seruauntis and chast hadde ordeynede on Danyel, Ananye, Mysael, and Asarie,
12 “Biko, nye anyị naanị ahịhịa nri, na mmiri ọṅụṅụ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe oriri anyị na ihe ọṅụṅụ anyị. Jiri ya lee anyị ule ụbọchị iri.
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,
13 Jirizie anya gị chọpụta ma o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti anyị na ndị ọzọ, ndị na-eri nri ọma nke eze nyere, site nʼihe ị hụrụ, mee ụmụodibo gị otu o kwesiri.”
and the cheris of children that eten the kyngis mete; and as thou seest, so do thou with thi seruauntis.
14 O kwenyere ime ihe ha kwuru, ọ nwalere ha abalị iri.
And whanne he herde siche a word, he asaiede hem bi ten daies.
15 Mgbe ụbọchị iri ahụ zuru, a chọpụtara na ahụ dị ha mma, chọpụtakwa na ha dị mma ile anya karịa ụmụ okorobịa ndị ọzọ e ji nri ọma niile eze nyere zụọ.
Forsothe after ten daies the cheris of hem apperiden betere and fattere, than alle the children that eeten the kyngis mete.
16 Ya mere onyeisi ozi ahụ wepụrụ nri na mmanya ọma ahụ ha kwesiri iri ma nye ha naanị akwụkwọ nri.
Certis Malazar took the metis, and the wyn of the drynk of hem, and yaf to hem potagis.
17 Chineke mere ka ụmụ okorobịa anọ ndị a nwee ọgụgụisi pụrụ iche na nghọta nʼihe ọbụla gbasara edemede na amamihe niile. Daniel nwekwara nghọta ịkọwa ụdị ọhụ niile na nrọ niile.
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.
18 Mgbe oge eze nyere a ga-eji kpọbata ha nʼije ozi ya zuru, onyeisi ndị na-eje ozi chere ha nʼihu Nebukadneza.
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.
19 Ha na eze kparịtakwara ụka. Ma nʼime ụmụ okorobịa ahụ niile a zụrụ, o nweghị nke amamihe ya juru eze afọ dịka amamihe Daniel, na Hananaya, na Mishael, na Azaraya. Nʼihi nke a, o mere ka ha soro bụrụ ndị na-adụ ya ọdụ.
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.
20 Mgbe ọ bụlakwa eze chọrọ ndụmọdụ banyere amamihe na nghọta, ọ na-achọpụta na ndụmọdụ ha na-enye ya na-adị mma okpukpu iri karịa ndụmọdụ nke ndị majiki ya na ndị maara ihe banyere kpakpando nọ nʼalaeze ya na-enye ya.
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.
21 Daniel nọgidere bụrụ onye na-adụ eze ọdụ tutu ruo afọ mbụ nke Sairọs bidoro ịchị dịka eze.
Forsothe Danyel was til to the firste yeer of king Cyrus.
