1 Juda kini ne' Jehoiakimi'ma 3'a kafuma kinima nemanigeno'a, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a Jerusalemi kumate vahe ha' eme huzmante'naku sondia vahe zaga'ane eno Jerusalemi kumara eme avazagi kagi'ne.
During the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem and surrounded it.
2 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Nebukatnesa azampi Juda kini ne' Jehoiakimina avrentegeno azenerino, Anumzamofo ra mono nompima eri'zama eneriza zantaminena eri'ne. Ana huteno erino Babiloni vuno, havi anumza'amofo mono nompima fenozama nentazafi omente'ne.
The Lord allowed him to defeat King Jehoiakim, and also to remove some of the objects used in the Temple of God. He took them back to Babylon, to the house of his god, placing them in the treasury of his god.
3 Ana huteno kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a, agri nompima eri'zama eneriza vahete'ma ugotama huno kegavama hu'nea ne' Aspenasina hunteno, Israeli kini ne'mofo nagapinti'ene Juda kva vahe'mokizmi nagapintira,
Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to take charge of some of the captured Israelites from the royal and noble families,
4 vunka kasefa vahe'ma zamafuhe zamafahe'ma osu'nesiane, hiranto zamavugosa huzmante'nesiane knare antahi'zampima avite'nesazane, maka antahintahi'zama rempi hu'za antahi'zantema knare hu'nesazane, maka nanekema ame hu'za antahiama'ma nehu'za, kini ne'mofo nompima eri'zama eri antahi'zama ani'ma hu'nesnaza nahezaverami, ome zamavarenka enka Babiloni vahe'mokizmi zamagerura rempi hunezaminka, avoma kreno hampri'zana rempi huzamio huno hunte'ne.
“They are to be young men without any physical defect who are good-looking,” he said. “They must be well-educated, quick to learn, have good insight, and be well able to serve in the king's palace and be taught the literature and language of Babylon.”
5 Nehuno kini nemo'a huno, Maka zupa nagri nompinti knare zantfama hu'nea ne'zane waini tinena negahaze huno huzmante'ne. Ana nahezaveramina 3'a kafufi rempia huzamitesnage'za, henka ufre'za kini ne'mofo eri'zana erigahaze.
The king also provided them with a daily allowance of the same kind of rich food and wine he was served. At the end of their three years of education they would enter the king's service.
6 Ana vahe amunompina, Juda naga'nofipinti nehazaveramina, Danieli'ma, Hanania'ma, Misaeli'ma, Azariaki hu'za mani'naze.
Among those chosen were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, from the tribe of Judah.
7 Hanki ugota kva ne' Aspenesa'a ana nagara ru zamagima ante zami'neana amanahu hu'ne. Danielinkura Belsasa'e nehuno, Hananiankura Setraki'e nehuno, Misaelinkura Misaki'e nehuno, Azariankura Abetnego'e huno zamagia antezami'ne.
The chief eunuch gave them new names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.
8 Hianagi Danieli'a Anumzamofo avure'ma agra'ama azeri pehenama hu'zanku, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zane waini tinema negahazema huno'ma hia nanekegura Aspenasina antahigeno, knare natresankena kini ne'mofo nompintira ne'zana onegahuo huno antahige'ne.
However, Daniel made up his mind not to make himself impure by eating the king's rich food and wine. He asked the chief eunuch to allow him not to make himself impure.
9 Hanki anante Anumzamo'a Aspenasi agu'afina asunku'za antentegeno, Danielina asunku hunenteno aza hunaku hu'ne.
God had helped Daniel to be viewed with kindness and sympathy by the chief eunuch.
10 Hianagi Aspenasi'a amanage huno Danielina asami'ne. Nagra kini nekura koro nehue. Na'ankure agra'a huhamprino e'inahu e'inahu ne'zane tinena negahaze huno huhampri'ne. Ana hu'neankino tamagri tamavufgamo'a hariri huno, mago'a tamagranema e'naza nehazavemokizmi zamavufaga gna'ma osanigeno'a, kini ne'mo'a nananke rukafrigahie.
But the chief eunuch told Daniel, “I'm afraid of what my lord the king would do to me. He's the one who decided what you should eat and drink. What if he were to see you looking pale and sickly compared to the other young men of your age. Because of you the king would have my head!”
11 Anante kini ne'mo'a huntegeno, Danielima, Hananiama, Misaelinema, kegavama huzmante'nea ne' Aspenasi'a mago eri'za ne' huntegeno Danieli'a amanage huno asami'ne.
Daniel then spoke with the guard that the chief eunuch had put in charge of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
12 Muse hugantoanki eri'za vahekamota avame antenka, 10ni'a knamofo agu'afina, hozafi ne'zane, kasefa tine tamigeta namneno.
“Please put us, your servants, to the test and just give us vegetables to eat and water to drink for ten days,” Daniel told him.
13 Hagi 10ni'a knama evutesigenka, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza nehazavemokizmi zamavufaga negenka, tagri tavufga negenka hutenka, henka nazano kagri eri'za vahe'motama hurante'naku'ma hanana zana amne hugahane.
“After that, compare us with those young men who ate the king's rich food. Then decide on the basis of what you see.”
14 Higeno anama kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a anagema haza nanekerera mago arimpa nehuno, 10ni'a knafi avamera anteno zamage'ne.
The guard agreed to the proposal they made and tested them for ten days.
15 Hagi 10ni'a knama evutegeno'a, kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a zamageana, Danieline 3'a nagamokizmi zamavufagamo'a masavenke huno knare zantfa nehuno, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza nehazaveramina zamagatere'ne.
When the ten days were up they looked healthier and better fed than all the young men who had eaten the king's rich food.
16 Ana higeno kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a, knare'nare ne'zane waini tinema zamio huno'ma kini ne'mo'ma hu'neana netreno, hozafi ne'zane kasefa tine zamino vu'ne.
After that the guard didn't give them the rich food and wine, just vegetables.
17 Hanki Danieline ana 3'a nehazave nagara Anumzamo'a antahintahi'zane ama' antahi'zanena zamige'za, avontafepima ruzahu ruzahu nanekema krente'nazana rempi huvagare'za ana maka antahi'naze. Ana nehazageno ruzahu ruzahu avanagna zane, ava'namofo agafa'a eriama hu antahi'zana Anumzamo'a Danielina ami'ne.
God gave these four young men the ability to learn and understand in all areas of literature and knowledge, while Daniel was also given the gift of interpreting all kinds of visions and dreams.
18 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma knama ante'nea knamo'a ehanatigeno, kini nemo'a ana nehazaveramina zamavareta efreho huno higeno, kini ne'mofo eri'za vahete kva ne' Aspenasi'a zamavareno kini ne' Nebukatnesa avuga vu'ne.
When their time of education ordered by the king was over, the chief eunuch brought all the young men before King Nebuchadnezzar.
19 Ana higeno kini ne'mo'ma ana nehazaveraminema keagama huno zamageana, Danieli'ma, Hanania'ma, Misaeli'ma Azari'enema hazankna vahera magore huno omanine. Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a zamavarentege'za agri'ma antahintahima ami' eri'za vahe mani'naze.
The king talked with them and none could compare with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the king's service.
20 Kini ne'mo'ma ana 4'a nehazaveramima, knare antahintahine, ama' antahi'zanku'ma zamantahigeno'ma keana, maka Babiloni mopafima antahi'zane vahe'ene, kagu'vazama erifore'ma nehaza vahe'ene, zagoma neraza vahe'ene kini ne'mofoma antahi'zama nemiza vahera razampi ruzmagatere'naze.
Whatever subject the king asked them about, everything that required wisdom of understanding, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.
21 Hagi Danieli'a ana eri'zama'a erino nevigeno vuno, Sairusi'ma erigafa huno Babiloni kinima mania kafure uhanati'ne.
Daniel remained in this position until the first year of King Cyrus' reign.
