Daniel 1
1 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.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, and lays siege against it;
2 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.
and the Lord gives into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, and some of the vessels of the house of God, and he brings them in [to] the land of Shinar, [to] the house of his god, and the vessels he has brought in [to] the treasure-house of his god.
3 Binilin ti ari ni Aspenaz a kangatoan nga opisialna nga iyunegna dagiti sumagmamano a tattao ti Israel, ti pamilia ti ari ken dagiti mararaem—
And the king says, to Ashpenaz master of his eunuchs, to bring in out of the sons of Israel (even of the royal seed, and of the chiefs),
4 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.
boys in whom there is no blemish, and of good appearance, and skillful in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and teaching thought, and who have ability to stand in the palace of the king, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.
5 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.
And the king appoints for them a rate, day by day, of the king’s portion of food, and of the wine of his drinking, so as to nourish them three years, that at the end thereof they may stand before the king.
6 Karaman kadagitoy ket da Daniel, Hananias, Misael kenni Asarias ken dagiti dadduma a tattao ti Juda.
And there are among them out of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
7 Pinanaganan ida ti kangatoan nga opisial: Pinanagananna ni Daniel iti Beltesazar, ni Hananias iti Sedrac, ni Misael iti Mesac, ken ni Asarias iti Abednego.
and the chief of the eunuchs sets names on them, and he sets on Daniel, Belteshazzar; and on Hananiah, Shadrach; and on Mishael, Meshach; and on Azariah, Abed-Nego.
8 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.
And Daniel purposes in his heart that he will not defile himself with the king’s portion of food, and with the wine of his drinking, and he seeks of the chief of the eunuchs that he may not defile himself.
9 Ita, naasian ken pinaboran ti Dios ni Daniel babaen iti panagraem kenkuana ti kangatoan nga opisial.
And God gives Daniel for kindness and for mercies before the chief of the eunuchs;
10 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.”
and the chief of the eunuchs says to Daniel, “I am fearing my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink, for why does he see your faces sadder than [those of] the boys which [are] of your circle? Then you have made my head indebted to the king,”
11 Ket nakisao ni Daniel iti dinutokan ti kangatoan nga opisial a mangaywan kada Daniel, Hananias, Misael ken Azarias.
And Daniel says to the Meltzar, whom the chief of the eunuchs has appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 Kinunana, “Pangaasim ta subokennakami nga adipenmo iti sangapulo nga aldaw. Ikkannakami laeng kadagiti nateng a kanenmi ken danum nga inumenmi.
“Please try your servants [for] ten days; and they give to us from the vegetables and we eat, and water, and we drink;
13 Kalpasanna, idiligmo ti langami iti langa dagiti agtutubo a lallaki a mangan iti taraon ti ari, ket tratoennakami nga adipenmo a maibasar iti makitam.”
and our appearance is seen before you, and the appearance of the boys who are eating the king’s portion of food, and as you see—deal with your servants.”
14 Isu nga immannugot ti mangay-aywan nga aramiden daytoy, ket pinaliiwna ida iti sangapulo nga aldaw.
And he listens to them, to this word, and tries them ten days:
15 Kalpasan ti sangapulo nga aldaw, nasalsalun-at ti langada, ken naluklukmegda ngem dagiti dadduma a lallaki a nangan kadagiti taraon ti ari.
and at the end of ten days their appearance has appeared better and fatter in flesh then any of the boys who are eating the king’s portion of food.
16 Isu nga inikkat ti mangay-aywan dagiti taraon ken arakda ket inikkanna laeng ida kadagiti nateng.
And the Meltzar is taking away their portion of food, and the wine of their drink, and is giving to them vegetables.
17 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.
As for these four boys, God has given to them knowledge and understanding in every [kind of] literature, and wisdom; and Daniel has given instruction about every [kind of] vision and dreams.
18 Kalpasan ti tiempo nga intuding ti ari a pannakaipanda, impan ida ti kangatoan nga opisial iti sangoanan ni Nebucadnesar.
And at the end of the days that the king had said to bring them in, the chief of the eunuchs brings them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 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.
And the king speaks with them, and there has not been found among them all like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, and they stand before the king;
20 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.
and [in] any matter of wisdom [and] understanding that the king has sought of them, he finds them ten hands above all the enchanters, the conjurers, who [are] in all his kingdom.
21 Adda sadiay ni Daniel agingga iti umuna a tawen ti panagturay ni Ari Cyrus.
And Daniel is to the first year of Cyrus the king.
